The last image from the house of reps was telling. The tiny LNP rump standing alone, facing a large majority of empty benches all around. #auspol

So Trump says the shooter's manifesto shows he hates christians. I knew in my bones that had to be a lie, and reading it for myself, it certainly is. He hates "a pedophile, rapist, and traitor". Reading it won't radicalise you. It'll just make you more depressed than we all are already.

Fascism 101, find scapegoats: Taylor is blaming housing on immigrants. #auspol

Taylor: 1) fuck the foreigners; 2) fuck the planet; 3) fuck you peasants. #auspol

Slipped and fell on my very wet, steep driveway. (I'm fine.) Got an alert immediately after on the Apple watch: "Off to a great start." Thanks for that.

Trumpism (fascism) 101: drill baby drill. Taylor denies the climate consequences of fossil fuel, by just not mentioning it, and calling investment in renewables as rent-seeking. #auspol

Prediction: Trump will complain that this couldn't happen if he had a secure ballroom.

Taylor is spreading the fertiliser thick enough to fix any shortfall. #auspol

Sheridan calls abandoning net zero courageous. Not having the guts to even aspire to do something is courage. Fuck off and go wank to photos of Abbott. #insiders

So I watched Apex (Netflix). No surprises, standard stuff. I listened to the bird calls; authentic Australian species from what I could tell; they really like fantail cuckoos; but still the supposed Australian humans refer to the "woods" and "gas station". Movie makers have utter contempt for the intelligence of their American audience. I suppose that's justified.

The real "crime" is lèse-majesté. Ha ha yanks, your republic is over. It didn't make 250 years.

I don't get why you'd bother scrawling a swastika over the Israeli flag, Netanyahu has ensured it's a symbol of hate all by itself.

Hastie thinks cutting prices reduces demand. #insiders

Hastie names US, Israel, and Iran, and then claims only one of them is a "murderous regime". Serious blinkers on there. #insiders

Trump: I'm Jesus, no I'm a doctor, now I'm Abraham Lincoln.

It amuses me that MAGA is now looking back a the Butler Pennsylvania assassination attempt and wondering if it was a set-up. This one is a better candidate, coward Trump nowhere near the shooter, and an opportunity to discredit the press.

Taylor's goldfish memory decries the safeguard mechanism, an LNP initiative. #aupol

Props to the lighting for Taylor's reply. Not flattering. Is that a little moustache? #aupol

Waiting to watch the budget reply. I have:

I hear USQ ads on podcasts that refer to "your teen's future". Employers beware of graduates that let mummy and daddy do their thinking for them.

Guest and panelists all refer to the "Dept. of War", which is not what it is in US law. #insiders

Current 3D printing project: nipple clamps for mice.

Fascism 101, I will return us to when it was better. #auspol

Hastie serving up a word salad of accusations without evidence. A fine summary of the LNP position. #insiders
