Wiggling it. Just a little bit.

It's weird that there are no other words for thesaurus.

@australianlabor.bsky.social Enviro Minister Murray Watt giving off humungous 'we are all looking for the guy who did this' energy

Seriously?! It was actually your own party and Anthony Albanese that scuttled the EPBC reforms last time around, to appease your W.A. Labor colleagues and mining interests! And now you're asking us to lobby to pass legislation we haven't even seen the details of?! www.linkedin.com/posts/murray...

Morning 😂

Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷‍♂️

Australian health experts warn Trump’s unfounded autism claims about paracetamol may harm pregnant women www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

They want you to be obsessed with immigration so you ignore all the other problems. But all the other problems ARE the problem. Don't be distracted and let them blind you with hate.

i am *choosing words very carefully for legal reasons* disinclined toward sympathy to fascism

The White House is essentially claiming anything it doesn't like is "ANTIFA", so this executive order designating it as a terrorist org is essentially a blank cheque to arrest whomever they want. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Seems like an excellent time to fire all the folks who would normally deal with this 🫣😷😵‍💫: #BirdFlu, feared as a possible pandemic, poses growing risk to people as pathogen spreads, scientists warn https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bird-flu-risk-as-pathogen-spreads-60-minutes-transcript/

daily reminder that only one thing has ever removed fascism from power

Devastating 6th mass coral bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef in a space of 9 years Will the inconveniently public, climate warming-induced demise of the Great Barrier Reef trouble whichever fossil fuel-enabling party forms government? #AusVotes25

I’ll admit I didn’t think they would take so little time to go completely authoritarian. The USA is lost. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Meanwhile people like RFK, if I were a celestial auditor, are a net loss to the world by virtue of the harms they do. People who make arguments about the worth of people based on transactory value to them are always useless wastes of oxygen.

Outside of the absurd notion that autistic people don't make art or poetry, which Karrie and others are dismantling with the ire it deserves People are not worth what they produce for others. People are worthy because they are PEOPLE.

Also please please please please listen and understand this We are not on a life raft with limited supplies where we have to figure out which 1 of the 10 go into the sea so the others can live. These conversations are purely about which people put money in their pockets and which do not. Greed.

DFAT should be issuing a blanket "do not travel warning" regarding the USA, a country where arbitrary detention and being dragged into concentration camps, plus no rule of law is now reality.

Historically, the best investment is misunderstood artwork by the self-destructive.

No, potential employer, I don’t have much on my public GitHub because historically my work has made money

"Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models. That's likely an appealing bonus feature for any site owners who, like Aaron, are fed up with paying for AI scraping and just want to watch AI burn." 📌 arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn…

I’m in an industry increasingly notorious for people who consider themselves entirely logical and fact based, often to the point of being insufferable wankers about it. To old and cynical me, these are some of the most insecure feels based people I have ever dealt with in a workplace.

I made a little site to consolidate a bunch of things I’ve shared here (or built for here). Among other things: • alt text generator • bipolar resources • accessibility list • data visualizations • blueFlyer posting tool • social account finder • source code, much more, etc assisted.site/bluesky

Does anyone recommend a app for bsky for the ipad, don't really like using it in the browser and the native app from the phone is not scaled for a tablet.

Oh hey look everyone, the widespread measles problem happened. A deadly disease for which we have vaccinations.

Israeli strikes hit media tent, near charity kitchen where Palestinians crowded to receive cooked meals as food supplies dwindle under Israel's month-long blockade of the Gaza Strip. String of attacks killed more than 30 people, mostly women and children.

Openly genocidal statement no. 6-Gajillion: ‘Take the US President's advice. Return hostages, expel Hamas & other options will be presented, including relocating to other places in the world for those who wish. The alternative is utter destruction and devastation’ - Defence Minister Israel Katz

Dutton saying Australia is headed for a recession is seriously f*cking stupid

More relevant now than ever! Place your bets people!

Here's @marquelawyers.bsky.social. 'The craven crushing of campus dissent' The path towards fascism looks like this.

I’ve been referred to the Executive Complaints Unit of the BBC, if I want to take this further. I think I will. Large organisations fob us off by making the process difficult. A news organisation publishing US government propaganda shots of the humiliation prisoners, without trial, is just wrong.

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

the consequences of targeted criminalisation and police brutality are horrific levels of trauma and poverty, generation after generation.

“New Yorkers are sick of weapons manufacturers ignoring their role in the gun violence epidemic."

One of the advantages to having coffee black and unadulterated as the universe intended: you can spill it and go “oh well, at least I’m not gonna get ants”

ADHD is often linked to other co-occurring mental health conditions and has been linked with higher suicide rates Having greater knowledge and better means of diagnosing this often debilitating condition isn’t “fashionable”; it’s good medical practice This 👇is as idiotic as it is irresponsible

Donald Trump "Gaza is an incredible piece of real estate." "Controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a great thing." The ICC needs to put out an arrest warrant for Donald Trump too.
