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

TFW you realise this has probably always been the case.

Anthony Albanese is buying tech and weapons that have been ' battle tested' on a civilian population, not a war or an army. Why does Australia need that tech or those weapons? Which civilian population do they want to genocide?

They are just making the kill box smaller. This is so disgusting and sick. For 2 years we watched them experiment on genociding Palestinians. That's exactly what they doing. It's so insanely sick

To ABCNewsAus, TheAustralian, AFR, SkyNews, @theguardian.com Aus. & all ‘news’ media using words like ‘Aquire’ about Trump's illegal desire to invade another foreign nation, stage a military coup & overthrow a democratically elected gov. Gutless, propaganda spewing wankgoblins. Do your fucking jobs!

it would be so much better if we could all defeat the fascism within our own countries, rather than necessitating another global war to quash it/us, just sayin'

Six Feet Under, hands down.

My take on Trump and Greenland, written in 2019. My views haven't changed:

Lol, but seriously. Fair question.

Mal Lanyon is the same bloke who declared in September that he would be adopting a "laser-like" focus on combating antisemitism, & whose Force in November approved a neo-Nazi rally outside NSW parliament with a banner reading 'Abolish The Jewish Lobby'. So, y'know. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Several parts of Australia are likely to face the worst heatwaves since the 2019/2020 bushfires. Volunteers and underpaid frontline workers will step up to help communities. Meanwhile, in just one year, the Australian government gave $14.9 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users.

Can confirm. Does my fucking head in.

To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.

The post that keeps on posting. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Albo & Starmer are 2 peas in an AUKUS pod. Both have solidly attached their countries citizens to Trump's regime with the AUKUS deal, effectively turning sovereign nations into U.S vassal states.

Dillon: We're all gonna die...The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet, or on your fucking knees... begging?!...I say fuck that thing! Let's fight it! - Alien 3

The statement a leader should make after an ally has committed war crimes

"Australia needs a strong, moral leader." Albo: *falls to his knees so fast he has carpet burn*

Albanese might as well have just tweeted out his infamous selfie with the rapist pedophile and current US President. That's all this amounts to: grinning subservience to this utterly evil war machine masquerading as a country.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us. Thanks for your consideration.

We’re going to see a lot of furrowed-brow statements from various governments and politicians around the world about international law, as if that means a single god-damned thing after the last two years of daily slaughter in Gaza.

2/ ~old jk is best jk~

Trump's America is just America without the pretense.

America has always been run like a criminal syndicate but good god they had good PR. You can really see how good it was now. Wow. When the smoke screen of legalese and dull newspeak is ripped away, you see the raw ugliness of empire.

ABC reporting a “period of rising tension between the United States and Venezuela” Venezuela hasn’t done anything. There is no rising tension, it’s just Trump.

Once you stop looking at the parts of what is happening as separate and see the overarching process, you can’t unsee it. Some aspects of the process are clearly intentional—an ignorant population is easier to control—and some are just organic human reactions to peak complexity. But it is happening.

This is beyond fucked, not least because at this point Dave's comment is not even hyperbole. What a time.

If AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social wanted to know what's happening in Gaza, the West Bank & East Jerusalem, he could've invited UN Special Rapporteur @franceskalbs.bsky.social to visit the Lodge. Instead he invites Israeli President Herzog, who signed bombs to be dropped on Gaza. 😠 #auspol #FreePalestine

Penny Wong's Furrowed Brow™ Presents:

Did you notice how people stood against Israel on such a scale that the corporate world clamped down? YouTube deleted war crime evidence. Social algos silo truth. Owned politicians outlaw protest speech. Police assault protesters. Media covers up the crime. Know your enemies.

Billie Eilish is such a massive talent. I will die on this hill. My god.

My response "It's ironic that the brain injury is manifest as loss of insight and impulse control. And and irrational outbursts. Perhaps, Anthony, we shouldn't ask what drives these narratives, but rather, how many infections get you to this place?" We are shit shape and sinking

Happy New Year to you all & as we careen into the GodKnowsWhattery of 2026, remember the words of the late great Kurt Vonnegut: ‘There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.’

The red lines will only get higher: 1.7C likely by 2027, 2C in years, 3C then 4C in our kids’ lifetimes. Weather events will spiral. Our economy, food system & society will fall. Billions will die. & all we have to do to make sure this happens is keep on doing what we’re doing.

Israel has banned Medecins Sans Frontieres from operating in Gaza, rounding off a banner year for inhumanity.

New Year’s Eve.

Not surprising that Israel’s list of most “antisemitic” Australians is only a list of people against genocide and contains not one far-right/Nazi. 🫡 to those on the list

"Of course good things happen on the margins: a new national wildlife reserve here, medical breakthrough there. And we should support the good guys when they come along. But isolated moments don’t shift trends. We can’t get distracted. Only the end of imperialism and extractive capitalism will do."

I swear to god, the first thing I thought when I read this was "this guy is shit at sex".

If do you get a shot at being the Health minister in years to come, it looks like there's a fairly easy "two-fer" there - their data clearly shows a dramatic change in momentum, step up and continued acceleration from 2020 onwards. A novel disease with known cognitive impacts arrived in 2020.

When you laugh at people who mask - you are laughing at people doing their absolute best to keep themselves and Everyone Else Safe And it is hard work It shouldn’t be, but it is Because people are disrespectful, hurtful, careless and unkind That and disease are being spread by the laughter

5/ And I dunn0 about you, but investing NSW Police with the legal authority to 'ban protests' just weeks after it gave The Big Tick 😀👍 to neo-Nazis occupying the steps of the NSW state parliament while holding a banner declaring 'Abolish The Jewish Lobby' is bad taste, at best.

I think many people don't realise this: we very often have to pause or delay cancer treatment when patients have COVID. Protecting yourself, loved ones and the community from COVID makes sense.

Sarah Cooper is back on Trump and she absolutely nailed it 🔥
