Yes, I have watched this several times today ❤️

Mercury was only 50 arcminutes (0.8°) above a very young waxing crescent Moon this evening. KAS member Pete Mumbower captured this image from his home in Vicksburg, MI.

Iftar, Day 1

heard a few audio grabs of this clip later and seems our friendly press gallery folks are editing the clip to erase Albanese’s specific contempt for mothers. Which gender-neutralises his statement and thereby hides his misogyny from their audience. Which is misinformation.

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

Is it bad if I sort of kinda want a lot of Australians to lose their professional-type jobs bcos of AI, bcos then maybe the govt will do something to raise JobSeeker (like during the Covid lockdowns)?

Incredible how much the media has spent talking about hate speech laws and yet none of the thousands of articles on Hanson mention she recently was found by a federal court of breaching hate speech laws.

It was a case that found she had denigrated Muslims as well. Very odd it appears in none of the coverage of her remarks, and she has not been asked about it once in various interviews she’s done this week.

As a show that covers Australia's media, it's selective amnesia, and the concrete effects that can have, the recent surge of One Nation is very much our concern, so tonight is going to be a deepdive about the long, cosy relationship between PHON and Oz media.

Thank you Centrelink. Thank you Anthony Albanese, and please, pass my thanks on to your mum as well mate

I look at Albo and see Albo. And colonial white patriarchy. Self-serving powerful white males who choose to intentionally inflame Islamaphobia and misogyny and racism and lie about “the national interest”.

"Phrases such as 'from the river to the sea' or 'globalise the intifada' are understood by our community not as incitements to physical violence, but as calls for justice, democracy, and equal treatment for all citizens in the Holy Land." #auslaw #qldpol

People living with disabilities who have a hard time regulating their temperatures say there needs to be more awareness about the condition. With heatwave events set to be more frequent across the country, researchers say thermoregulation must be part of urban planning.

Will they sell to Muslim Australians? I suppose, if they did, they'd just take it back again.

All my love and solidarity to the Lakemba Muslim community today after they received another security threat yesterday. Islamophobia has no place in our society, and especially not our political discourse.

Vale Jesse Jackson. My @smh @theage cartoon.

And the Wolfdog automatically triggered the photo finish camera. Good boy. Good, good boy.

PM: “I have nothing but contempt for these people… “ ABC: What about the children? PM: “That is the responsibility of their parents and their mothers in particular… their mothers made this decision to travel overseas against the national interest…”

Nooooooooooooooooo

Imagine thinking it's a good time to shit on Lakemba while all of Sydney plans to hit up the amazing food and atmosphere at Ramadan Nights It's wild to me the media keeps printing articles about how Hanson has her finger on the pulse

Chris Minns being rushed to hospital as we speak

Imagine what she really thinks if this is what she says after 30 years on the mic, holding back. This is the person Liberal elders want an alliance with.

Did she ever think the reason she can’t go to Lakemba is because she demonises the very people who live, work, pray & socialise there? Perhaps if Pauline was accepting & open she wouldn’t be treated like the hateful person she is. People might not be so scared or wary of her then. Just a thought … 🤷‍♀️

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

Well bugger. My mobility scooter just punctured a tyre. I can get home with my roadside assistance, luckily, but the tyre will be A$300-400 to get changed so I can go out again. Donations very welcome to PayPal or PayID: [email protected] Please share for visibility?

Spoke to a promising rural high school student today about the prospect of going to University and they were straight up: 'I can't afford it.' 'The fees? Or living out of home?' 'Both.' It's been a remarkable, bipartisan effort to destroy the pathways people like me took into tertiary study.

A 69 year old woman! Chris Minns can get in the bin

"When you look at the force and the brutality that they used, it’s a wonder someone wasn’t killed," says grandmother Jann Alhafny. She broke four vertebrae at the rally. "Everything was wrong about it. They were like a pack of wild animals. They had the devil in their eyes."

"Puglielli said the inquiry would examine how influencers sharing far-right, misogynistic and homophobic “alpha male” content operate online, and how to protect young people from their messaging. He alleged some perpetrators...had been “groomed and radicalised by far-right manosphere influencers”."

“We weren’t allowed to use it (the override button), and even my manager, who had 25 years of experience in aged care assessment, wasn’t allowed to use it,” Aitken said. “There was no ability for anyone to say: ‘The algorithm has it wrong, we need a human to adjust this’.”

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Bad immigrants. My @smh cartoon.

This is how it is done while the pilot(piolet also works) bounces off the sides all the way down the track.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

For the Bob's Burgers fans. Today I saw one of the fabled 'wine shoes' at my local op shops. As Linda Belcher would say, "It's an elegant way to display y'wine."

The eyes of the world have turned away, but Gaza is still starving and the West Bank is still being annexed piece by piece in blatant violation of international law.

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Pointing the finger

Some of the most talented young journalists I worked were from SW Sydney and once they left Bankstown not one of them stayed in media, this ceaseless shit from supposed peers is toxic and demoralising af

At the end of this week, Anthony Albanese will become Australia's longest serving prime minister since John Howard. He's on track to rival Fraser and Hawke in time in the top job. But to leave what legacy?

Ladies, behold the meritocracy. (Bring a plate.)

This guy sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. Wonder what happened to him

Ahh Canberra, where an unlicensed diplomat can wreck your car with no consequences (Not my car, I'm fine, I'm very attentive and avoided being involved)
