As formerly seen on Twitter. Unofficial patriarch of the regal Prussian diaspora. Purveyor of Bismarckian politik. Delighting in schadenfreude. Post mostly about politics, Sturt & Crows. Sometimes ska, and things I find amusing.
I've flown to Israel in the middle of a war and now it's all Albo's fault. π€¦π€¦π€¦

You know what to do...
Hopefully it will heal as well as his ear did! π
Iranβs βtotally obliteratedβ nuclear program grew back faster than Trumpβs ear.
Has anyone thought of the war this way?
War on Iran & Lebanon
Refugees flee into Europe

Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi β and the Trumpsβ social media company is launching its own prediction market.
Meanwhile, Trumpβs regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets.
Always follow the money.

Well it's our generation that has brought us to where we are now. For the most part, it's not a legacy I'm particularly proud of. In due course we'll all be dead and it will be the young trying to put out the dumpster fire we're bequeathing them - a cooked planet, insane debt to pay off, etc. etc.

A large black flag containing indecipherable non-European lettering is flying on the other side of the group. The impression suggests that the Bluey family has been captured by ISIS.
Peak Murdoch fear porn in the Leak cartoon today.
A toxic mix of ignorance and prejudice, dog-whistling to the darkest reaches of right-wing politics.
Just another day at the NewsCorp hate factory. π
