When I spent all that time in my 20s hoping for the apocalypse so I wouldn’t have to show up to work I didn’t realise that during the apocolypse they expect you to keep showing up to work

It's not hate to oppose systematic mass murder. Even if it was, a felt emotion is not worse than the literal killing fields sustained by the West’s murder colony in occupied Palestine. It is insane that this needs to be said. How about, if you do not like being 'vilified' maybe stop being villains?

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

To continue legal actions against someone who accidentally calls you, especially someone with more life barriers than the plaintiff, is just so representative of the constant power victim status of the supporters of the State of Israel. #SocialCohesian

Time for the Australian govt to give serious reconsideration to the alliance with the US, including #AUKUS, says @emmashortis.bsky.social. #auspol

277 000 kids were added to the demographic of ' in poverty' but we are going to pay tto house troops for a foriegn power currently murdering its own citizens in the streets? They are taking the piss. We just gave them 3 billion dollars and we are NEVER getting those subs.

Fucken love Tom Tanuki. Dude knows his shit about the shittest shit. Worth a watch/listen. He always is.

This is fantastic journalism. We will need to adapt how we respond to fast -moving bush and grass fires, shelters rather than trying to escape. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Rock n roll for the win. Legend.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness I realise this is problematic, but still.

It's nothing short of horrific that imagination is not required - just attention. Fucking hell.

Spectacular writing from Amy Remeikis

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", when uttered by the holders of political and social power and privilege, means simply the maintenance of the dominant culture and silencing of any challenge to it.

Statement from our client Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. It is a tragedy that Adelaide Writers' Week has been destroyed, for nothing. However, this is a massive win for artistic freedom and hopefully a turning point in this time of unhinged McCarthyist witch-hunting. Randa is a hero and we love her.

I read an article, which summarized a new study from Griffith University, by stating: “COVID-19 leaves lasting changes in the brain, even after full recovery,” which I suppose is another way of saying that there isn’t really such a thing as a full recovery.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

Word

the mere notion that criminal laws enforced by police and punished by courts can build a more cohesive society is fucking ridiculous.

Dave calling a spade a spade

Successive governments have given billions in subsidies annually to shitcunts such as these, and they pay fuck all - if any - tax. In other news, ordinary folk are being asked to donate to bushfire recovery to help fund the victims and survivors of the latest climate fuelled disaster. Seems fair.

All of this and not a single cent of funding towards community based deradicalisation programs, support groups for families of radicalised people, harm reduction, anti-racist and respectful relationships programs in schools etc. State oppression is apparently the only answer.

Imagine being an ICE chud. By now even the most dip of shits would have to realise that they are being used as meat tripwires, that their bosses are sending them out in the tumescent hope that some civilians will snap and wax a whole mob of them, that their deaths will be The Pretext.

Nice Wilcox book on the left

Unhinged racism. Explicitly tying Randa to a terrorist attack by two Indian Muslims, essentially accusing her of incitement, which is a real crime. Once again: ISIS is opposed to Palestinian statehood, has murdered Palestinian refugees, and burned Palestinian flags. They do not care about Palestine.

You know, in a normal world, a Jewish programming director inviting a Palestinian author to speak would be celebrated as a positive example of this “social cohesion” thing. But I guess it’s only “social cohesion” if an Arab woman is being battered and smeared by News Corp.

It's "culturally unsafe" to have a Palestinian Aus author advocate against the systematic slaughter of hundreds of thousands of her people, but it's "a good thing" for the president of apartheid Israel, which has committed daily massacres and mass starvation for 2yrs, to visit us. Unbearably racist.

This is a stand out level up of racist shitfuckery right here.

Well this was an unexpected but most welcome addition to my timeline of mostly horror and fuckery today

Look I’m just a VIC holidaying in SA and I’m not about to lecture you about state politics or indeed the AWW, but fwiw I think we’re about to discover just what the Peter principle is.

One of the saddest parts about being alive in the ongoing C-19 world, as someone who has stayed up-to-date on the research and lived by it, is that you find out that most everyone you ever knew is happy to move on building a life without you in it, by painting you out as “crazy”.

This headline is blatant misinformation. One guy quit because of Adler’s “anti-Zionist” program and zero people noticed or cared. The Board then acted against Adler and Randa, the whole festival collapsed and 4 board members quit rather than fix the mess they made. This upheaval is solely theirs.

a cowardly editorial like that without even a name attached to it opens cathy up to bullshit like this and i hope she sues the absolute shit out of the australian. hurry up and die rupert murdoch so we can all piss on your grave

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

It also didn't start with Trump 1.0. Obama ramped up family imprisonment, literally imprisoning babies for months, sometimes years, and left that and the mass deportation machinery for Trump to inherit. Cruelty is bipartisan. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Additional dimension to Adelaide Writers Festival that’s not being covered

The play makes me angry, but what is genuinely depressing is how easily they pull it off.

The sky is tinged pink as Victorians literally breathe in our cremated land and wildlife. I feel so sad and angry on days like these and all I can think of is the NW Shelf extension approval, the new coal and gas projects, the absolute cowardice and contempt of Australian governments on climate.

Emergency alerts Victoria au. Now on bsky

The fire burning in north-east Victoria near Walwa was so fierce it generated its own weather this afternoon, including a substantial pyrocumulonimbus cloud with lightning and thunder www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

I guess it's not surprising but it is still completely disgusting and outrageous that the ABC is going to both-sides American fascist militia murdering civilians

Sort of gives away what this is all about doesn’t it.

@australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social will freely haemorrhage public money on capitulating to this in futility but they won't #RaiseTheRate or unfuck the #NDIS or fund #AgedCare or cancel #AUKUS 🙄 #AusPol
