Possum Comitatus

The stupidity in this country is exhausting.

Does anybody else feel uneasy and are little freak out that @Pollytics is missing from national conversation?

@Egzasa @3PickupMusicMan That's great! Hey mate, come to Bluesky - we're all over there.

Try following Joni Mitchell’s chord changes. Only jazz cats could do it.

Imagine having a government that wants to enable people rather than control them. That’s what social democracy should be about.

@kels_316 Yeah - there's a few now that finally work properly

I'll be on blue sky a lot more. Especially since the Deck Blue app now pretty much works like old tweetdeck did

@retrobike_c16 Can always forgive an eclectic taste!

@Pollytics Hang on a minute….

Almost worth getting divorced for 👌

@retrobike_c16 Hot minimalism!

@Pollytics Top marks for not having some ridiculous amp with glowing valves and everything on show. Less is more 👌

@stevebakopanos @evcricket Lol

@Pollytics @evcricket I don't know, a rule book for "stupid" seems like it would be quite useful right now TBH

People don't really put a whole lot of thought into their votes TBH.

@evcricket Absolutely. In every campaign I've had a say in, you chuck the stupid rule book out the window and Rule Number 1 becomes "make people pay attention"

@Pollytics Totally. I think voters think about their vote 5% as much as political staffers think they do

@bronte__lee Love the curls!

@prestontowers If Trump wins and gets the Senate, the US will recognise Israeli dominion over all the territories.

The performative preening of middle class pro-Palestinian people about the result is just putrid.

@simonbiddle @cosmicjester They won't be called until the numerical difference in the vote share is about 90% of the remaining votes

@Pollytics @cosmicjester How so? Pennsylvania is 87% counted and Trump's up 3% there - there's no path to an EC victory without that, right?

How far away are we from this being called?

The ECQ have begun distributing LNP preferences in South Brisbane, the party having finished third behind Labor after the distribution of One nation preferences. This means Labor has gained South Brisbane from the Greens. #qldvotes

Alas, poor Ann Selzer

@Paul_Karp Iowa results so far look pretty consistent

Has anyone checked on Anna Seltzer? How's her blood pressure RN?
