I feel like playing a version of 'spotto' on bluesky but for Frida Kahlo portraits instead of yellow cars. I have seen two in different posts in short order today.

This is one reason this is so ridiculous. Australian protests are astonishingly law abiding and respectful. Organisers even arrange locations and safety measures with police. Yet our politicians are upset about us having a say.

I love this a lot. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I thought Chris Minns was an unhinged anxious goose before most other people did.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

I see AFP is setting up some Special Task to combat anti-Semitism according to its Commish, after 15 murdered at #Bondi. Did they setup anything after this fact? For 2025, there have been 34 First Nations deaths in police custody recorded. Of course not, they are Black, not Jewish. They DGAF

Record heat continues everywhere in OCEANIA. Aitutaki Atoll COOK ISLANDS broke its record of the December highest minimum with 27.3C. Every single tropical country in the world has beem pulverizing heat records and next week will be historic.

My son is reading Animal Farm. I love how optimistic he is, but of course, I'm crushing that. My son: So, Snowball's coming back, right, to take down Napoleon and protect the other animals? Me: You said you studied the Russian Revolution? My son: Ohhhh.

These are the people who should have been on the cover of Time Magazine.

Today, I am going to have a lovely time. It is my Beloved's birthday; we are going out to lunch with our four young people. There will be cake (fruit flan, technically). And the buying of art materials. Not all is well in the world, but our little corner of it will have happiness enough today.

It’s almost like pedophiles redacted it.

Would the Minns plan make actions like this illegal in NSW? #auspol

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

From the right-wing Manhattan Institute's focus group of Gen Z conservatives -- just jaw-dropping stuff. We have a very sick society. www.city-journal.org/article/manh...

If only we cared as much about our Indigenous brothers and sisters as we do our Jewish Community. We'd have a First Australians Envoy to deal with racism, deaths in custody etc what say you @albomp.bsky.social #Auspol

This is a terrible mistake, borne of laziness and cowardice, and will be one of Anthony Albanese's longest lasting and most destructive legacies. Considering how we teach the Holocaust is one thing; entrenching pro-Israel ideology in our education system is a whole other thing.

“But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”

Can we stop voting for more coal mines?

Maybe they should just stop printing court listings at all; if it's not okay for some, maybe it's not okay for everyone? I mean, who cares about little things like openness and transparency and faith in the justice system?

Can we stop funding private school swimming pools and do this instead? #Priorities

When they say that they don't want 'hate' but put people like this front and centre of their campaign, they are showing you exactly how little they really care. Their agenda is... something else entirely.

"For the sake of our democracy, we cannot be led through these deadly waters by opportunistic vultures, nor by authoritarian psychopaths that routinely use tragedy to stomp the boot down ever harder, all under the guise of safety and “freedom”." #FascistFluffers and #Genocide supporters, #Australia

What happened in Bondi is a tragedy. What is happening in Gaza is genocide. But using fear, hate-mongering, and security concerns to further diminish the right to protest, to speak out against crimes against humanity... endangers all of us.

"...my son is exactly as human as the thousands and thousands of children murdered in Gaza. And exactly as human as Matilda, 10, murdered at Bondi Beach while celebrating her Jewish faith with her Jewish family on the first day of Chanukah."

When you attack the right to protest or to free speech, you attack democracy and you push people to more radical action.

Meditative. Sandy has you covered.

I fully support this statement released by the Palestine Action Group, in response to the murder of innocent Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach on Sunday. I am also deeply disturbed by the comments made by the Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. #auspol #BondiBeachShooting

I cannot wait to hear how Grok explains this to us mere mortals.

To the 1,100 people fighting these fires, thank you, especially the volunteers. My heart’s with those who’ve lost homes. Meanwhile the government opens new fossil fuel projects as the country burns. It’s obscene. It has to stop. #auspol #bushfires

The big white floofy thing has taken over the bed. And just for today, I will allow it.

90% of WA's gas is exported by mostly foreign owned gas corporations that pay no PRRT. Our governments should prioritise the interests of Australians, not gas industry profits. ✍️ Sign our petition and demand that the gas industry pays its fair share: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/increase_the...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

The Beloved and I have finished re-watching Vikings. We have firmly settled on serious dramas loosely aligned with history as safe shared viewing. #streaming Onto The Last Kingdom - at least this is not a re-watch. We only watched a handful of episodes from Season 1. Looking forward to it.

the LNP: One Nation Lite (or... One Nation but using politer language and 'tone' to disguise their hate) The Nats? Well, they're still relevant in the bush despite never looking after farmers... ALP? = LNP with occasional lip service to morality or symbolic gesturing...

Labor let youth unemployment + underemployment hit 22.9% double the national rate. Real wages are down. Burnout is up. 85% of young Aussies face financial hardship. This isn’t reform. It’s neglect #auspol

Move you've watched more than six times with a gif. #Leia is the funniest. And Star Wars IV is the best Star Wars.

Great editorial today… www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/edit...

I understand that there might be concerns around radicalisation, but that only increases the longer we leave them there. These are Australian citizens. I thought Albanese wanted to govern for 'all Australians'? #auspol #crisis

Flooding, cyclones, deadly monsoons in Southeasat Asia, bushfires in Australia, grim news on the water shortage front... But look. Let's just continue to approve new mines and build tax-payer funded infrastructure for companies that pay no tax. #auspol

At least 12 homes were destroyed as 75 bushfires burn across NSW. Fires are burning in several states. But let's ignore the impacts of #ClimateChange and focus on protecting the #FossilFuelsIndustry and their profits. #auspol

This is... a ride... just read it. All the chaotic, driven, hyper-anxious and angry feelings in one surging and... crafted... piece.

Repost with your model of positive masculinity. For me, it's this, and everything that follows.
