Time to leave this useless commentary behind and focus on positive and needed change.

We know what’s at stake.

See you at BlueSky #auspol

@johntmarohn John, it's probably adding a million people a day at this point, if not more.

It's not going to be a small ecosystem.

It's likely to end up similar in size to Twitter.

Twitter is already far more of an echo chamber than Bluesky is, and Bluesky is still at only about 20M users.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it's become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

Meet me at Bluesky, friends. I am not long for this sh*thole.

@ChristineMilne @deniseshrivell Me too, Christine. I'm a bit slow in getting to grips with Bluesky, but am heartily disappointed with Musk's Twitter!!

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

I have been on this platform since it was launched, through my Senate years and post Senate NGO work. Thank you to everyone I have met and engaged with for your news and opinions. I will remain here but will now explore BlueSky. 🙏

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

get to know your new republican cabinet

[John Roach @cambuslangtrain]

@belinduhpyne A few tweets further down, I see you've joined. I'm IN!!
Stuff Musk!

[John Roach @cambuslangtrain]

@belinduhpyne I'm looking into joining Blue Sky. I'll miss you here if I do, Belinduh.

🚨In #Gaza, we carry the lifeless bodies of children, who sleep and never wake up. Israel ends their lives in a single moment, just like that‼️

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Probably first time in history we’ve seen world leaders offer their thoughts and prayers to football hooligans.

What a strange time to be living through.

[jen l w-w @jemaggie]

Over 250 Australian soldiers from WW2 and 700 from WW1 were or are buried in what is left of the Commonwealth Gaza War Cemetery and have now been bulldozed over and dug up by Israeli forces. Not a fucking word from Penny Wong. Looks like the Zionists have taken over Australia

“My legs hurt from walking, and blood is coming out. We don’t know where we’re headed.”
🚨These are the words of a 4-year-old child, displaced with her family due to the Israeli brutal airstrikes in northern #Gaza.

I’m at a loss for words… Just damn this silent world‼️

Dear journalists.

If the ‘timing’ of Albo buying a $4.3 million house concerns you, understand Peter Dutton’s net worth was $300 million yesterday, today and tomorrow.

[The Noisy Elephant @TheNoisyTrunk]

#SussanLey had the audacity to tear into #Albo, calling him out of touch for buying a new home. But what our hair-flicking feline conveniently forgot to mention is that she herself owns FOUR properties – including the infamous Gold Coast apartment she snapped up on a taxpayer-funded trip. And let’s not forget that she resigned in disgrace on January 13, 2017, after being caught red-handed.

Oops, Sussan. Maybe keep your hypocritical mouth shut next time?

It’s incredible, isn’t it? After resigning for dudding taxpayers, Peter Dutton of all people appoints her as DEPUTY LEADER of his party. A safe job at the LNP, where it seems nothing sticks! TALK ABOUT out of touch, many think she should be in jail for THEFT AS A SERVANT.

And speaking of taxpayer money – guess who racked up nearly ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS in expenses for the year ending in June 2024? That’s $1,498,964 – a tidy $4,106 PER DAY. Yep, over four grand a day in expenses!

Oh, and let’s not forget the $13,000 spent flying private planes along busy routes just to keep her pilot’s license up to date. SORRY SUSSAN, who's really out of touch here?

Best to zip it, Suss. You’re not exactly winning the "woman of the people" award here.

Video: Sussan Ley, this is your captain speaking.

[Antoinette Lattouf @antoinette_news]

Albanese & Wong: nah promise we're not involved in this war, we don't militarily help Israel. We want a ceasefire etc etc.

Also government: here use our Northern Territory air base this week for a US air strike on Yemen to warn Iran.

The fact that the parliamentary register of interests doesn’t take in things which are hidden through trusts and self-managed super funds is a huge problem.

[Blind Trust & Tassie Devil member @Sammyboy7777Sam]

We found it best not to deal with "people" at these so called Job Service Providers.

With their stupid meetings etc.

None of them have or are required to have any qualifications whatsoever.

I bet you couldn't even find a qualified 1st aider amongst them.
