@ginandchips Happy birthday! Hope it's been a wonderful day and may the year ahead be even better. You're part of a fantastic generation - those in their mid 60s.🥰

Old Babbles is right: growing up in White Australia, when the pubs closed at 6pm, cops threw gays off cliffs, women got backyard abortions with a knitting needle, and later we had the Vietnam war to keep us amused. Them were the days !
Senator Babet@senatorbabet

Australia will cease to exist as you have known it growing up. You can thank the people who rule over you for that. Not sure why you keep voting them into power over and over again. You’re a masochist, a real weirdo.

@Wen_iac Happy birthday and make sure you are around for a hell of a lot longer - make them wait or else you sell your 'crap' and spend the proceeds on yourself.😂😂

Protests mount in Australia over Queesland's absurd pro-Israel banning of the phrase "from the river to the sea." Why ban a call for democracy and equal rights in that area instead of apartheid? trib.al/3rGMcfq

During Covid, Trump awarded himself 10 out of 10 for his handling of the crisis. He had spoken of people injecting bleach. I called his perfect score a “ridiculous boast”. The BBC complaints unit found against me. I talk of the institutional timidity around Trump coverage here.
Nick Bryant@NickBryantNY

News organisations need to be unflinching in their use of strong language to describe Trump. Too often we have normalised the abnormal. Mea culpa. I did it myself at the BBC and often came up against institutional timidity. My weekend read. open.substack.com/pub/historynev…

@SandyHorne61 You'd be able to get lots of puffin shots, but think of the weather. 'Our' stately home got sold and turned into a golf club.😂😂

Mum would have been 99 years old today. She died in 2005. (That's the family home in the background, on the right.)

@LyndaAC @Globalbiosec I paid for the two-jab Shingrix vaccine as well. The cost hurt more than the jabs - but worth it, I think.

@Globalbiosec I think this is excellent. However, I would like to see that age lowered. I ended up paying for my own vaccination because I know how horrible RSV can be. I'd like to see it available to more Australians.

@merkin_about And you pretty quickly remembered why it isn't fun and that's why you normally avoid it. Sometimes we have to do things we don't like to remind us why we don't like them.😕😆

I forgot why I don't make many granny square blankets - because joining those squares are a giant pain in the arse.
