Journalists: "If someone tells you it’s raining and another tells you it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the f—ing window and find out which is true.” - Jonathan Foster, quoted by Peter Greste theconversation.com/its-the-abcs...

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

This is why vaccines are important.

Now that Texas is forcing kids to read the Bible in schools, there is every chance that many of them will react like Winston Churchill's son, Randolph, who read the Bible for a bet and then exclaimed "God, isn't God a sh-t."

Happy 250th anniversary to the land of the free and the home of the brave!* *former status

He doesn't normally behave like that, because eating your Swedish meatballs was an Abba-ration. The cops said he was frida go, when they couldn't grab benny evidence.

I believe in a woman's right to choose. I think those in the anti-choice lobby who hate child welfare, public health and human rights are not pro-life. I also think male right-wing politicians may want to criminalise abortion just to ensure silence from women whose abortions they paid for.

MIT announces the future closure of its academic reputation. "Now that Robert F. Kennedy Junior is shredding science and a UFC arena is on the White House Lawn, it was incumbent on us to get with the times and close the libraries. We may even end up burning a few books" said spokesman AI Flash.

I can't emphasise enough how important the submission by my brother @timhollo.bsky.social to the ill-conceived Royal Commission on Antisemitism is. The lateral antisemitism from fellow Jews is something Tim & I have dealt with for a long time, even before either of us used the term "anti-Zionist".

Another day, another cock-up.

Well, that's him gone then. Final bell.

"Many ideas that enjoy enormous popularity among billionaires—cryogenic immortality, disregard for punctuation, the Antichrist—have scandalously been excluded from our labs and classrooms."

To maintain a democracy, you need to vote for it repeatedly, but to suffer from a dictatorship, you only need vote for it once.

When the ADF's leader appears to support heckling in a ceremony, so deeply disrespectful of Anzac Day, he's opening the door to other hecklers yelling during the ceremony on other issues too. He's no strategic thinker if he hasn't thought it through: he's not fit to lead and needs to be replaced.

If, one day, you have to go to the funeral of someone who booed at an Anzac Day ceremony, it would be just as appropriate and equally respectful to boo at the bits of that person's own funeral that you don't like.

Australiah governments should carefully observe what the French are doing to gain digital sovereignty, dumping Windows for Linux in a few months. We need to consider how we can best be independent and to learn from others' experience.

The term 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' should be reassigned to label the behaviour of those who can be hoodwinked into supporting selfish, senile, predatory nepo babies with delusions of grandeur.

Trump shored up an evil Iranian regime when he bombed a school. The Iranian government was about to fall to popular unrest without any outside help - but Trump's war has given Iran's rulers a new focus and entrenched them. Trump is a child abuser, he kills kids overseas and imprisons them at home.

This little rooster with his kill-'em-all rhetoric, like the unplanned war itself, shores up Iranians' support for an evil Iranian regime just when it was wildly unpopular and likely to fall. The US made martyrs and a fresh Ayatollah. It's almost as if Trump wants to keep the Ayatollahs in power.
