It'll be interesting to see the USN stop a tanker with a company of PLANMC troops aboard.

My wife has a long association with a disability charity that has operating for decades. They have been really fucked around by the onerous paperwork that they're subjected to that small for profit operators seem to get to ignore.

This looks like good, interesting science. But I've never understood why the date mattered politically. Be it 60k, 42k or whatever, it's a very long time with more generations than the human mind can comprehend.

Looks like a blood angel sanguinary guard to me.

Fuck!

Like no shit Sherlock. People have been living car free since the automobile was invented. In suburbs with poor public transport (most of Australia), it's not that easy.

The UK is a failed state, an embarrassing shithole for a place that once claimed to rule half the world. Destroyed by neoliberalism and austerity. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.monbiot.com/2026/04/08/g...

I hope they fix the courts and constitution and get him on corruption.

Feels like an achievement when you come home from a restaurant and the boy has cooked a proper meal and the kitchen is cleaner than you left it.

Immunology is far more complex than rocketry. Just saying. (booking fluvax & 7th covax for next week).

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment. Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin...

This seems conspiracist, yes, but the factual points are all true, it's just the dot joining that seems too wild. youtu.be/0nt1CgQsgpI

I love how anti-activist judges, when faced with very high end offending, and a guilty plea, know that Parliament didn't really mean the penalties should apply. Happens all the time.

Slipstream will come true.

Good morning. Are we still trading our semi-functional democracies for oppressive, fascistic shitshows, just to protect a psychopathic, ruling class project attempting to swallow West Asia in the name of Jewish supremacism, or have we come to our senses and found morality yet?

This is about the first time I recall where Taiwan has been reported as having agency in this dispute. We only ever hear about the PRC & USA usually.

I like Gather Round because I know I can get a park in East Melbourne tonight.

Who thinks this is a good ensuite design?? One of you has to get up early, you're both awake. Steam comes straight in. At least this time, unlike some, the crapper is enclosed.

Literally every single country. India, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia....

More than half a million illegal occupiers are going to have to be expelled from the West Bank. This is going to be a big problem for the State of Israel when justice finally prevails.

Discovered that I'm too old and grumpy to really grapple with Linux. Thankfully I have two nerdy boys to help me out.

Wild that none of the BRS backers are saying he didn't do the murders that are war crimes, just that war crimes are actually fine

100% do it. Keep the not-for-profits (I guess), State education depts take over council ones (helping relieve rate capping), all for profits just get regulated out of business, with some notional sovereign risk payment to fuck off.

Sun Tzu: "You may be wondering why The Art of War includes such basic advice as 'don't place your balls where the enemy can easily squeeze them'. And you're not going to believe this, but..."

Sun Tzu (looking at a map of Iran, taking note of the mountains, deserts etc): sucks air through his teeth and declares “I’d leave that alone mate”

Thank you @thebetootaadvocate.bsky.social

So this arsehole is saying they haven't gone hard enough.

TBH if I was the IRGC (lol), I'd be shutting the fuck up right now and allowing Trump to claim victory.

I know this doesn't make anyone happy, but the moment we signed on to F-35 build partnership way back in 2002, we were going to be accused of complicity in every other operators crimes. Yelling at the Australian Government about this isn't going to change a single damned thing.

Genuine point here.

If Iran can't export oil, what need have they to keep the Strait free from mines? This ain't 5D chess.

They're currently talking him out of using nukes aren't they

a) the attention people get in their private lives when they're not representing anyone else is an unfair invasion of their privacy. b) dudes a rolled gold dickhead who shouldn't drink and drive.

Fucking bullshit piece on SBS saying that nuclear power is something Greece should consider - because SMRs (vapourware) and data centres (😡

There’s a part of my heart where I’m really happy right now that these pesky delivery robots in the city are treated just as poorly at traffic lights as we pedestrians are. What’s more: they depend on our help—which we’re allowed to withhold :D

Incredible @jack-thrower.bsky.social chart here for @thepointau.bsky.social - the # of utes FAR exceeds the number of tradies and farmers in Aus These are land-based luxury private jets, fossil-fuelled,heavily subsidised by the gov't and justified on flimsy pretence thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Cool how they'll spend so much time and effort on a relatively unimportant country in Europe, as long as it's promoting autocracy (and Putin).

Scientists predict fire-sensitive Alpine Ash forests could be halved in the next 60 years as too-frequent fires prevent forest regeneration. Read: theconversation.com/australias-a... Via @theconversation.com by @itsnotfairman.bsky.social & @trentpenman.bsky.social

Does anyone know what this is in reference to?

AFP charges Adelaide man, 25, with "working for a foreign military without authorisation" after he operated drones for Ukraine.   ... which is completely different to the hundreds of #GazaGenocide‌ participants (were they authorised?) to whom Canberra turned a blind eye. 👀

Some great teams to get behind.

ABC footage of the Australian* war criminal just blurred his face. By accident I guess, but it looks pretty dumb. *really need to be specific these days.

A 1.4% levy on the gambling industry could compensate the media for ALL revenue lost from a potential gambling advertising ban. Australians lose more money gambling than any other country. It's time for our government to act. @amyremeikis.bsky.social #auspol

To be heroically revisited by Hollywood in twenty years, dwelling on the trauma these Americans have suffered.

Rekt

Free word of advice to the 48th president of the United States - be humble, be really really humble on the world stage.

I wonder if Scott Morrison would benefit Australia in Washington? Make him a special envoy to the Trump presidency or some shit. (then prosecute him for accomplice to war crimes when he returns lol). Just a bad thought bubble.

I'm late thirties and switching to the electrical trade, seems a safe bet. Likewise I have friends in their fifties who were senior, now competing with young PHDs for mid-level roles. It's a nightmare. It's not the government, it's lazy investors, bad management and poor resulting work culture.
