🤔 Observational humor and sarcasm 🤷🏾
- As Trump is the head of the Republican party he not only speaks for the party but this is clearly the position of Republicans as members of the party. If it wasn’t their position their only tenable option is to resign from the party. If they aren’t doing that, well..
- I quite like Mr Mazengarb’s takes but this ain’t it: - Nate Silver? Really? The broken clock guy? - Yet another take about how Bezos can “afford” to keep running the Post at a loss with the implication that is what he should do?
- The Post is no longer “an institution” and it ceased being one when it was allowed to be sold to a billionaire with no history of news custodianship. 🤷🏾
- Was a homemade fragment bomb “allegedly” thrown into a crowd? Was it placed gently on the ground and given a little kiss? Was it allegedly homemade? Allegedly a fragment bomb? Allegedly a bomb at all if it didn’t explode? Only alleged journalists and lawyers might ever know. 🤷🏾🤪
- I am not a lawyer but this sounds like the Chief Justice is saying Tony Abbott is a dickhead. And worse, an uninformed one. "This comment was, with respect, misconceived," NSW Chief Justice Bell said. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... #lawsky
- A reminder that Tony Abbott has a Bachelor of Laws as well as being a Rhodes Scholar and apparently still doesn’t understand how legislation and the courts work.
- Tagging @tbyrne75.bsky.social to get his thoughts on how he might feel if the NSW Chief Justice said his remarks were “misconceived” and “with respect” as well. 🤔🤪
- Nuclear powered submarines (and ships) have always used nuclear reactors to generate steam that turns turbines that drive propulsion and generate electricity.. Dunno how Robert thought they worked. 🤪 Marles is a dickhead but he’s not technically wrong with his idiom.. 🤷🏾
- The possibility of US ever selling Australia nuclear submarines is increasingly remote but defence minister Richard Marles insists #AUKUS is "full steam ahead". Aha, so we're buying steam powered subs now! 🙄 #auspol #GuardianAustralia www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
- Partner has told me she is really enjoying @scalzi.com writing and as a big Heinlein fan she noted “He really is as good as Heinlein but the writing is for the 2000s rather than 1940s” Current book she’s reading: “The President’s Brain is Missing” (2010)
- It still amazes me she hadn’t heard of him before and my contribution was to start her off with “Redshirts”. 😃
- Putin is also demanding that Zelensky must tuck him in at night and give him a little kiss on the forehead.
- Russia is now demanding not only the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donetsk region but also international recognition of Donbas as Russian as part of a peace deal, Russian media report. The claim is attributed to a Western source present at the Abu Dhabi talks. #Ukraine
- Community Notes: Trump did not in fact “take back” his insults or apologize. But people cannot bear to imagine as a leader and a human he has not a shred of decency and will hallucinate scenarios to pretend he does.
- Who is telling Bernie that what needs to happen is people need to explain how Bezos is rich enough to do what *other people* want him to do with his money? Because no one could have foreseen this thirteen years ago? (Many people foresaw this..)
- Pitch@Palace website is still up and says they are still significantly affected by Covid19 restrictions. 🤔🤪😂 Source: pitchatpalace.com
