Destroy peoples' homes, towns, livelihoods, all that they cherish and have worked for...and then expect them to forgive you and accept you as neighbours? No, not even the Israelis are that stupid. They want the aggression to continue.

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits

But, but Trump always hires the best. 🙄

The US blockade is a hostile act, not just towards Iran but towards the entire world, including Australia. Energy supplies, food supplies, jobs, all hostage to the whims of US military power … and Labor wants to keep us tied to them. Unbelievable really.

Bravo Sarah Martin for showing us what incredible public interest reporting can look like! 👏👏👏 Scintillating evisceration of the dangerously power concentrated, & simultaneously stunningly incompetent catastrophe that is Pauline Hanson's One Nation Enjoy with a beverage ☕

A glassy-eyed Kash Patel slurred a threat to sue The Atlantic over their report that he's an out-of-control drunk. Good rule of thumb: Don't believe anything about the Trump administration until they deny it. www.tmz.com/2026/04/18/k...

Those eyes look like those of someone who's been hot-boxing in a mini-cooper for three days. 😂

This appears to be the latest news. Federal case postponed, state case keeps going. www.nydailynews.com/2026/04/01/n...

If you’re not an Army meeting with Ukraine to ask about how they use drones, you are very stupid and probably think AUKUS will save you.

Vance says he's 'grateful' for Pope Leo's statement on not wanting public debate with Trump #Trump

Corporations: I don't care what your incompetent consultants tell you; none of us wants to answer scores of questions to evaluate your service. Ask *one* question to score our experience 1 to 10. Then leave us alone. I'm not paid to spend half an hour helping you to run your business.

Stunning frescoes of the Assumption of the Virgin in the Carafa Chapel, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Rome. Painted by today's guy, Filippino Lippi, in 1490.

Yeah nah, get fucked! (In case you were wondering.)

New post: By now, it’s obvious how stupid, unpopular and costly the Iranian misadventure has become, and Australia’s leaders are backsliding, but have still not put any significant conditions or limits on our alliance with the US or Israel.

The burrow of a desert scorpion (Urodacus yaschenkoi). Saw lots of these crescent-shaped architectural wonders in the red dirt at Gluepot Reserve.

Remember when we played this game, what was it, a decade and a half ago? The Yanks are still at it.

❌ 👁️ Another video from the #EpsteinFiles has surfaced where a girl can be seen sitting in a helicopter smiling.. She had no idea what was going to happen to her later.. But after a short time she was reportedly treated in a very cruel and disturbing way..

Hungary’s Tisza party led by Peter Magyar has secured 141 of 199 seats, gaining a constitutional majority, while Fidesz dropped to 52 mandates, opening path for sweeping reforms and EU funding unlock.

Orca whales know what humans are. They're top tier predators. They can chase seals at 35 mph. They watch us drive by in our boats, perform for us when we whale watch, they respect our frailty when we canoe or paddleboard. They even observe us standing around campfires on the beach late at night.

On this day in 1923, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 16 Oct 1941 she was deported to the Łódź Ghetto with her parents. They perished in the Shoah although a sibling survived. Her name was Annemarie Thiasová

Remember, it's actually the Shite Muslims living in Lebanon that IDF are really at "war" with, not the actual country itself. The weak government of Lebanon considers themselves helplessly stuck in the middle. Isreal turned the southern half of their country into a war zone.

Zelensky Says Kyiv Seized a Russian Position With Drones and Robots. Psych impact: For Russians in trenches, being forced to surrender by swarms of robots and FPV drones is demoralizing and weird in a new way. For Ukrainians, it’s a rare, clean “future is ours” narrative in a grinding war.

The Pompei galleries in the Naples Archaeological Museum are endless, amazing and also so sad. Here’s Terentius Neo the Baker and his wife looking intellectual. You hope they got out, or simply weren’t there that terrible day.

Humans are not part of shark diet and sharks do not hunt humans Most shark bites are cases of mistaken identity—where swimmers or surfers resemble seals or fish Yet Hollywood has never made one movie telling the true nature of sharks Spielberg made millions for portraying sharks as monsters

In a move that signals a dramatic shift in international resolve, Belgian authorities have intercepted two British shipments of military components destined for Israel, marking a turning point in the global response to Israel's ongoing atrocities. The world has finally had enough.

All he needs is one Boeing jet donated personally to him, and the war is over. 😂🤣😅, No more negotiations will be needed.👇

Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables

Good luck MAGA. You're never going to get Texans to boycott Halal meat, because it's every barbecue obsessed person's secret ingredient.🤷🏿‍♂️ Muslims and Jews don't like eating poo in their meat.🍖💩 The rest of us don't seem to mind it for some reason? Kosher and Halal meat have almost no poo in them

Israel has already broken the ceasefire in Lebanon. Continuing their Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is far more important than world trade through the Strait of Hormuz.

Impressed by the Cave of Covalanas (Spain), which I visited today. These prehistoric paintings seem to tell stories, probably linked to rituals or beliefs. They never lived inside this cave—it was likely a special place used for symbolic purposes. #PrehistoricArt #RockArt #Archaeology

Remote communities are calling for assurance on fuel security in the face of potential shortages, along with financial assistance as already-high fuel and food prices continue to climb.

Artemis (2nd century CE). Odd that NASA didn’t use this on their mission patch. There’s still time I guess

When you accidentally say the quiet part out loud.

This is a real low point for Australian govt hysteria rn. The butt-kissing gutlessness is sickening. 🤮

Yet another study showing that work requirements don't increase employment and instead serve to kick people off their desperately needed assistance. missouriindependent.com/2026/04/10/r...

Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

Oil companies are making $30m an hour in windfall profits. The Irish taxpayer is supporting oil exposed businesses with 3/4 of a billion € to avert disaster for just four months. How do we avert future crises completely? #RTECountrywide Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/radio/radio1... 1/5
