Whatever you think about the protests against Herzog — and nothing I say should be taken as an endorsement of any particular position — the fact that every major protest went smoothly (Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin, Adelaide) except Sydney suggests a Sydney-specific policing problem.

An absolute sea of people has gathered at Flinders Street Station in Naarm/Melbourne this evening. Tens of thousands saying loud and clear: HERZOG IS NOT WELCOME HERE! ✊

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country

Beautiful stuff, Melbourne. Herzog and Albo to The Hague. Free Palestine.

I’ve returned to Honkai Star Rail after about 6 months away, and the story in the meantime is just… waffle. The Amphoreus Saga just keeps on going. Somebody stop it. Please!

There is an actual genocide going on. It has a flag. Our politicians are deeply unserious

ran into the capra demon at the grocery store today and he had those two fuckin dogs with him the whole time no leash or anything

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST LEAVE HER ALONE

“It’s really hard for me to reconcile the vision of him signing bombs that went on to be dropped on Palestinian homes … with the notion of social cohesion. So from that perspective, I’ve obviously got deep concerns.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Imagine drunk driving this

does it bother anyone else that a whole bunch of labor apparatchiks got Australia Day honours, including the current govt official who implemented a controversial policy against a researched consensus? nah, me neither.

Australia must sever AUKUS ties with America. The US government is a fascist government sending armed forces to execute their own citizens in the streets. We have no shared values for as long as this madness reigns. It’s on @albomp.bsky.social to pull our country out of their downward spiral.

"I'm in the wrong meeting."

the apex legends championships this weekend was absolute cinema. seeing the superteam lose in an unloseable situation due to ridiculous hijinks, and then the trophy going to a loveable team of old head free agents was beautiful.

Submission from Anne Twomey on the Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill now up - it’s a must read for journalists and policy makers Quite the burn here too 🔥 www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

‘We can’t let perfect be the enemy of good,’ is something a project manager says when things look shitty. Or what a teal says about shitty legislation, apparently.

I’m just a person but maybe making your own decisions and not being driven by bad faith right-wing media campaigns might make it easier to avoid such stunning situations idk

I’ll tell you what could fix all of those problems we are having. President Eminem

I think ai should only be used for work that has no soul, but even then it’s soul crushing.

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.

Few words. My @smh @theage cartoon

Melbourne continues to show up for Palestine. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

albo is legitimately just a worse ScoMo and it's wild to see it played out again and again and again

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society. It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

I wrote about things I enjoyed (and didn’t!) in 2025: existentialcrisiszone.blogspot.com/2026/01/thin...

The Australian government must unequivocally condemn the lawless aggression of the US if its position in the international community is to be taken seriously.

Great. Looking forward to this for our society. Looking forward to metal detectors at every supermarket and train station, kid soldiers with rifles on every corner, & magically ‘testing positive’ for traces of explosives at airport security so they can grill you.* *Based on personal experience

Having killed hundreds of aid workers, Israel is now completely banning 37 aid orgs from entering Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam, Caritas, and World Vision. This is an obvious war crime and thousands will die. Any comment from our government?

The Australian media is just not equipped to deal with the creeping fascism in our lives. Every major publication's editorial direction barely deviates from government policy in any meaningful way.

if you have got a kid and you catch them watching this stuff online you need to do some evil parent in a novel type shit. lock them in an attic until they are 20 or something

Ive been listening to the latest cure album, and it has the best opening and ending tracks of any album I can think of since Blackstar or Glass Boys.

We should be deeply alarmed that the Premier is talking about permanently arming the “Community Security Group”, a Mossad-linked Zionist organisation that runs paramilitary training camps in Israel. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
