Imagine being gifted Dutton, Ley and possibly Hastie and turning into Scomo

Marvellous long interview with the Israeli man, Ilan Volkhoff, who spoke against the genocide of Gazans by Israel at the Proms on ABC RN radio now. What a wonderful, courageous, articulate, passionate Israeli. I am drinking this in. ❤️❤️❤️

Huge news that Spain and Italy have sent navy boats to protect the Sumud flotilla - the world should support and join them protecting the flotilla in international waters

Maybe when Albanese looks back at this moment in his life he will ask himself “Why did I become a fawning Trump AUKUS groupie? What was wrong with me?” Or maybe he will be working at Lockheed Martin.

Israel defending itself against Hamas nurses?

“I did not sacrifice the dignity of myself or my fellow Australians by oranging a meeting with Trump,” said the bronzed-up Albanese. Read more: theshovel.com.au/2025/09/25/a...

This article by @ronnisalt.bsky.social should be compulsory reading for those of us that are terminally online... Atlas/The Heritage Foundation: "Here's some rage baiting we prepared earlier..." Seems like you can't trust anything from the FBI anymore-is that on purpose? #uspol #epstein #auspol

Super cute to see this young yellow-footed rock-wallaby sitting in a depression in the rocks as if it's a comfy seat 😊 Boolcoomatta Reserve, South Australia.

Well what they should have done is remove the display completely - this is an utter disgrace like everything with the War Memorial these days - I’ll never set foot in there again… www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

We've just delivered 80 pages and over 2,700 signatures to the PM's office, calling for sanctions on Israel now to put a stop to the genocide.

Italy and Spain intervene to ensure Gaza flotilla’s safety in the Mediterranean after drones drop ‘flashbang’ devices.

Electricity generation costs would be up to 50% higher if Australia stuck with coal and gas only www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Hot: inscribing bullets Not: publishing your manifesto online 🙃😑

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

Watch: An Israeli drone strike targeted a group of Palestinians as they attempt to transport a body.

Calling environmental regulations 'red tape' kind of ignores why those regulations exist in the first place. And it doesn't matter how strong our environment laws are if our governments aren't willing to actually enforce them. 🔊 Deputy Director Ebony Bennett @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

I guess I just don’t understand why an anti-ICE sniper would aim at immigrants… And why are so many people engraving bullets these days? I have questions.

The risks are known, the legislation covers this, and the controls are known and widely used across these industries. Prosecutions must result in heavy penalties, including imprisonment, for the corporations and businesses in control of (and profiting from) these workplaces. Regualators failed too!

“Nearly 300 workers’have developed deadly lung diseases after being exposed to dust at QLD mines, construction projects & worksites..Of the 292 workers..added to the state's..Register, 121 were diagnosed with COPD, 96 had respiratory cancers & 93 had pneumoconiosis” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

OMG what do you mean being in a luxury 5-star hotel is no protection against a Super Typhoon⁉️ #ExtremeWeather #Ragasa #HongKong #Macau #Guangdong

Deakin University Professor Euan Ritchie slammed the target as "grossly inadequate" and said it would jeopardise the survival and wellbeing of Australians. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907378...

A Spanish ship will join the Italian frigate to protect the flotilla

Kimmel’s back—proof that public pressure can make a difference. But folks in our region won’t be able to watch tonight because KOMO’s owner, Sinclair, refuses to air the show on its ABC stations. It’s corporate cowardice to censor programming just because the president doesn’t like it.

More ignorant mispronunciations from @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social today. Now it’s a “floatilla”. Weirdly their mispronunciations usually come from apeing the spelling. This time they ignore the spelling and just make up an extra vowel. Go figure!

Our PM @albomp.bsky.social is an Islamophobic racist IDIOT 'Palestinian children are taught to hate'? The entire Israeli state & education system has taught Israeli children since 2000 to hate. Explains why they're now genocidaires who yell 'death to Arabs' #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Around here, we no longer say “like water off a duck’s back” (b/c no water). Now its “like swooping magpies off an Australian raven’s back”.

I dunno if I am being all Pollyanna like Nicola Willis said to, but I was just thinking how Christopher Luxon has well and truly killed the idea of "We just need a business guy to run the country like a business", so we can be glad of that 😁 #NZPol

Whoever invented the word “queue” and made four silent letters wait their turn deserves a medal.

MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply. Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

It doesn't matter who gets killed, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, the Right is going to use it for their own purposes. If this isn't obvious by now you're choosing to be obtuse.

Sadly this adorable cuddly bat is critically endangered. Who do we think we are!? Here is my recovery plan to SAVE THIS IMPORTANT BAT — First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW: They're going to indict Jim Comey. This should be interesting.

I honestly cannot believe they are just coming out and saying this...

"Trump's Argentina bailout" just start saying that over and over again. Something goes wrong in the economy? What did you expect? Trump spent all our money bailing out Argentina

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

BREAKING A federal judge found it "appears ... that multiple employees of the Department of Justice may have violated" local rules in SDNY guaranteeing Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial. Full order here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hoover wanted to prosecute people for their political beliefs, personally stopped the investigation into the KKK church bombing that killed 4 little girls, and suggested suspending habeas corpus for people he suspected were "disloyal" to the USA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edga...

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today. It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

A new gene therapy trial slowed Huntington’s Disease by an average of 75% in patients. It involves delivery of a modified but safe virus that produces microRNA in the brain to counteract mutations in the huntingtin gene. We can achieve amazing things when we fund science!

What was incredible to me about this press conference is that nowhere did anyone mention that the victims were all detainees. Even if it turns out the suspect intended to target ICE employees, which we still don’t know is true, doesn’t that seem like important information?

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

A reminder that this is exactly what Nazis did in 1930s Germany. They have read all the text books, seen the documentaries, and taken notes. Surely mainstream USA should be deeply alarmed and organising its Resistance already 😲

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

a Reichstag fire, but one of them every week

NEW: China's president Xi Jinping unexpectedly joins the UN climate summit, by video, to offer his nation's 2035 climate pledge * Cut GHGs to 7-10% below peak by 2035, "striving to do better" * Raise non-fossil share of energy to at least 30% * Boost wind/solar to 3,600GW
