When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.
I got kinda' stuck on a vision of a rather large green shape trying to hide in a crowd. I guess if there were other... large green shapes... I'm sure he'd be perfect for the role. 😜

A Bibi euphemism for 'Please don't put me in jail, I'm busy.'
Not sure what's going on but SA Paging is reporting rain rates exceeding an ARI of ~20 years in several centres, with callouts for multiple water ingress into houses, and yet my 2 weather services, BOM & Weatherzone showing no rain.
Maybe so much rain the gauges don't know what to do?
Anyone know what this is? Found in the bush north of the Murray River, South Australia.
There was quite a group of them but only 2 were flowering.
Hints of vanilla fragrance.
Every now and again, I'll be forced to agree with you.
Viva la Republic!
Is this a litmus test for future Australian elections? Will Liberals edge closer to racist, backward looking populism as a way to ensure its own survival?
Do they really believe Australian voters will embrace Trumplite - given the last federal election?

It had to be said until everyone realizes it. The President of the United States is literally INSANE.
Yes, we only had 11 mm here at home. Most rain we've had since November. I managed to shift 3000 litres across to my IBCs yesterday so with spare water and an empty tank for next weekend*, I might even be able to salvage some garden.
(*Apparently, we may get 40-80mm over both Saturday and Sunday.)
I have always said that if world leaders had simply spoken to each other at the outset and agreed to tell Trump to take a flying leap long ago, he'd be gone.
Instead, we drive headlong from one grassfire to the next getting more dirt on our knees everytime we do.
If said server could enter my home and hurt my family I'd be a little less complacent.
From a reliable source.
Trump's first reaction to the SCOTUS tariff decision.
These creatures have NO business influencing Australian Policies 😡
I have awoken to rain. Glorious bloody rain.
He's not taking it well you guys
The chickens are coming home to roost.
It's Barnaby. There will be a 'beer testing' or 'flower bed inspection' report tabled next week, you can bet on it
He's flogging ON for the SA election coming up.
What is very concerning is any modern politician suggesting a fictitious text has moral superiority over any other fictitious text.
Put the surcote away Barnaby.
What could possibly go wrong?
Another example of the ambiguous quagmire we now call 'hate speech'.
These signs are *clearly* NOT anti-Jewish, which is what anti-semitism is. They're a protest against states and dictators, not a slur on a people.
We're being sucked into BS by bad faith actors.

NSW & Vic' National Parks do not allow you to reserve a specific camping site.
From SA, wanting to travel with family frequently to kayak, it makes it untenable. Whose going to drive 5-8 hours to NOT be able to secure a preferred launching site?
SA does it. Why not you? #NSW #Vic #NationalParks
A $55m fine? Exactly how much bauxite will they get out of that area? I'll wager it'll be far, far more than $55m.
It'll be recorded as a cost of doing business.
Murray Watts has ALLOWED "limited clearing" to continue while "while the assessment is underway"

You sure? Bluesky search for this phrase shows this link the day before Shimanti did a copypasta multiple times.

I saw Kingscote has had 13mm so far. Much, much needed here.
ACCC needs to investigate mobile phone companies claiming 'The price is X now and Z after 6 months'.
It allows them to advertise as 'lowest price' and push genuinely lower priced services off the top of searches.
I just want a cheap text/talk ffs. I don't want caveats 16 ways to Sunday.
