Trump wanted a war with Iran because he thought Americans would rally around a war president and it would drive his poll numbers up. It did the opposite. So thousands of lives & billions of dollars were wasted, and the price you pay for gas is significantly higher, because Donald Trump is an idiot.

This is depressing mostly because it shows how powerful pop culture is compared to education. The Flintstones helped normalize the image of humans living alongside dinosaurs, and if someone grows up with that as a “default mental picture,” it can stick even if they later learn otherwise.

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

They should only be approved if they're providing their own electricity and water - and in remote areas where the continuous hum doesn't affect communities Or better yet - don't build them. Society doesn't need this level of tech disruption

Remember in today's elections there are some parties who would jail this pensioner for being right 1. Antisemitism is real & revolting; 2. To march against a UK government that supports genocide is to march *against* hate; 3. There is nothing 'Jewish' about Netanyahu's crimes; #SolidarityPalestine

Given the reaction today, I’m not sure if the RBA, in raising rates just so it can be seen to be doing *something* even if that something will only harm people, realises just how white hot angry it has made people. Haven’t seen this level of fury in sometime

Homelessness is a policy choice and a policy failure. As the 1% don't have to pay their fair share, everyone else is suffering. Societies don't work when a few hoard the wealth of the many. www.smh.com.au/national/a-m...

China's big bets: Solar power, high-speed rail, inexpensive high-quality EVs. US big bets: Bomb Iran, protect domestic car industry, dismantle wind power, the Freedom to Drive initiative. Who do you think is making the smarter bets?

What a @#$& idiot

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

For any lucky sod out there who has not yet been introduced to Australia's Gina Rinehart. #mine

It remains very weird to me that in a world of actually useful technology -- photovoltaic power generation, mRNA vaccines, maglev trains, smart phones, etc -- the tech sector has gone so all-in on bullshit generators and plagiarism machines.

Jewish Council of Australia first up Monday in antisemitism Royal Commission. They need help finding barristers so they can shoot down the pro-Israel definition. Share widely @joneshowdareyou.bsky.social @anthonyklan.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social www.jewishcouncil.com.au/urgent-royal...

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

(Not) A message from the government of Israel…

We need a Royal Commission into Zionist influence in Australia

The 🍊🤡 is trying to undermine this, another item I the long list of reasons to get rid of him

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

82% of the world's CO2 is produced by the billionaires or their companies. 82%. There is no way to tackle climate change without tackling the richest.

When gas bills double and gas companies are making tens of extra billions from war profiteering, and Australia still receives nothing, this will be Albanese’s albatross. “Populist”, gtfo.

I can't understand why Zelensky would help Trump, though I expect membership to EU/NATO to be the play - so he's playing nicel

Who’s got the cards you need now, Donald?

Wow! Explains a lot Also, look for Al Jazeera's "The Labour Files" on YouTube. For specific Israeli lobbying, see Al Jazeera's "The Lobby" - one on the UK, one on the US (we're going to watch those soon) At least we know Al Jazeera hasn't been captured by the Israel lobby!! (in 2019 anyway!)

A friend of mine actually posted this on her FB page. The reply is mine. I reported the post because of the danger it invites. Please don't ever "play" these "games."

This is happening in the middle of Tel Aviv 👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼💙

LIKING JENNIFER WELCH.......

“Australia is dragging its feet on transitioning to renewables” And a big reason for that is governments paying more attention to the fossil fuel lobby than the interests of its citizens, says the former UN climate chief. #abc730 #auspol

Wow! @jefftiedrich.bsky.social does this qualify for your award? Norah O'Donnel is all of us today Wow!

It's almost as if none of them are taking this seriously either.

Witness the mesmerizing murmuration of starlings in Italy, a stunning display of nature's coordination and beauty as they dance through the sky in unison.

The Albanese government is a Labor government in name only.

Netanyahu: "Iran planned another Holocaust. It plotted to destroy us with nuclear bombs." Iran has no nuclear bombs. Israel has 200+. The only "another Holocaust" happening is in Gaza, with Israeli bombs. 🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯🤬🇮🇱

🤬

Makes you wonder if this was the intent all along - corporate America screwing over Americans even further, enabled by the 🍊🤡

Larissa Waters asks former Treasury chief Ken Henry if it’s too simplistic to say wartime gas profits from the war on Iran can either go to Australians, or to overseas investors & shareholders. Henry “That’s not simplistic, that’s how it is!” “It is as simple as that.” 💥 #auspol
