"Eventually, the society exhausts its most accessible solutions. Maintaining the status quo begins to consume the entirety of the system's energy budget. We have reached this state of complexity overreach."

"Our politicians and dominant media class need to decide if they are with us or content to function as puppets cooperating with our extinction. Albanese appears to have made his choice." Fuck me, shit is bleak.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here. Ordinary people from around the world, including 14 brave Australians, who have seen Israel’s ongoing genocide and atrocities, are on a peaceful, lawful mission to deliver desperately needed aid to Palestinians.

The humanitarians onboard these boats represent the best of humanity. And they are being stopped by the worst of humanity: the Israeli government and their defence forces, who are inflicting genocide, mass murder and starvation on the people of Palestine.

Minister Penny Wong must publicly affirm the humanitarian status of the Global Sumud Flotilla, openly condemn the attacks against it, and the Albanese government must take all necessary actions to protect those on the flotilla to ensure their safety.

Israel has kidnapped Zack Schofield, University of Sydney student and Wiradjuri, Ngiyampaa and Wailwan man Ethan Floyd, Neve O’Connor, Dr Bianca Webb-Pullman, Surya McEwen and Cameron Tribe. I am terrified for the 3 Aboriginal activists and professional humanitarians .

“This is illegal under international law. Israel has no jurisdiction in these waters. Boarding these boats amounts to illegal detention – potentially kidnapping on the high seas,” said Gur Tsabar, a spokesperson for the Global Sumud Flotilla. Attack on unarmed civilians in international waters.

"They’re making our world worse and worse, and they’re making us worse as individuals, too. They’re poisoning our minds and darkening our hearts. Killing our conscience and amputating our empathy. It sucks to live in the shadow of the empire. There’s nothing natural or healthy about this dystopia."

I'd love to find a therapist who understands that things are, in fact, as bad as I think they are. And go from there.

Absolutely timeless.

This way

Oh

When are Australians going to wake up to the fact that while you are running around being racist dickbags you are being recolonised by the Epstein Class. Right now . And YOU HAVE NO BILL oF RIGHTS

Commercially viable numbers of livestock are not compatible with healthy natural ecosystems. That's the most concise answer to the question.

When I started writing these poems, I didn’t know that everything which has become familiar over the past six months was about to change - the oncology clinic and the ward are both moving to a new building in May. I don't know what it will look like, but certainly the questions will follow us there.

That US journalists are shaming anyone online for not being sufficiently somber about the nerd prom while they’ve been silent about the actual assassination of hundreds of journalists is a bigger disgrace than the WHCD itself

Monthly reminder Nobody that lives in Australia, no matter whom, has a Bill of Rights. Your " constitution was section 7 of the Commonwealth constitution until 1992. There is No Treaty with the Indigenous peoples so you are still illegally occupying We should do something about all this .

I had to spend an afternoon at the children’s hospital A little boy, IV in hand, walking out of oncology in an N95. His parents behind him, unmasked. Something about that moment I can’t shake—the smallest person in the room holding the most responsibility for his own safety.

I saw this yesterday. I love when words have multiple meanings.

"It is a performance of joy so excessive, so desperate, that it reveals the void it attempts to cover...What Fallon offers is a standardised production of “fun” that feels increasingly like a desperate plea to ignore the crumbling world outside the studio walls."

I've never found this easy or even possible to be honest.

"Albanese has been an appeaser and a don’t-rock-the-boat-type of leader for so long that the boat has now become wedged in his own arse." Typically delightful wordsmithery from the consistently excellent @ronnisalt.bsky.social

“Sometimes people need to make the tough choices,” said the man too scared to properly tax gas companies chaser.com.au/national/alb...

This is a very nice video.

160,000 people with disability forced off the NDIS to save money but foreign companies that make around 50 billion profit exporting OUR gas won't be taxed because it's "a difficult time" for them says the PM. You can't make this stuff up.

"You are asking yourself how you can possibly keep doing this. You possess the leaden conviction that the systems sustaining our civilisation are in terminal decline, yet you must continue to feign enthusiasm for bullshit meetings with bullshit people about bullshit problems."

For those in the back who didn’t get the message.

I don't think they are just ok with it. I think it is their actual plan.

"Won't people with disabilities think of the military-industrial complex?"

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Fruit

ALP too scared to take on the gas industry that strips billions from our country each year; but not shy about kicking the crutches out from under hundreds of thousands of disabled Australians. So gutsy Albo.

Yup A fair posse of far right operators setting us at each other’s throats as well, but pretty much this.

Are you getting diddled at the spigot? How would you even know?! Read this cartoon! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Police have raided the homes of four peace activists in Victoria, in the latest case of cops using searches and bail conditions to incapacitate our organisations.

only just got exposed to this fuckin’ banger

The Government™ has made an ad about the era we're living through, and it's surpsingly honest and informative.

So the red conservative razor gang can boldly eugenics disabled people off the #NDIS "for the economy" but they can't do anything that benefits us at the same time like #RaiseTheRate of jobseeker or binning the job network scam. Despicable. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

So cruel and unnecessary Tax fossil fuel companies! Ditch AUKUS. The money exists it's just where we choose to allocate it.

Mark Butler is an evil man and every the Labor politician who tows the party line instead of voting against this are genuinely bad people
