French-Ukrainian singer Paul Manandise: "Leaders of Europe,I’m addressing you from Kyiv.At the same time,I’m addressing you from the depths of my European heart What Putin is doing isn’t a 'military' operation. It’s a war of terror,a policy of annihilation.He wants to break a people-the Ukrainians"

Putin, failing in his east European war, summons his American clients to organize a diversion in western Europe.

It is fruitless to appeal to capital, to imperialism, in moral terms. The objective is to defeat it.

No one grieved for Rome, not even the Romans. The US Empire will be the same.

Statement from our client Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. It is a tragedy that Adelaide Writers' Week has been destroyed, for nothing. However, this is a massive win for artistic freedom and hopefully a turning point in this time of unhinged McCarthyist witch-hunting. Randa is a hero and we love her.

“Should we tell our children that the world is worsening, or should we shield them in hope of a return to the past? Which choice harms them more?”

Yo! That’s the spirit!

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", when uttered by the holders of political and social power and privilege, means simply the maintenance of the dominant culture and silencing of any challenge to it.

The festival should have a Bluesky account.

“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Another right wing dog whistle for the abuse of women.

“The message is clear: looking wrong to a conservative, speaking wrong to a conservative man, not bowing and scraping to conservatives, or even just loving the “wrong” gender, means you are an enemy. An enemy that should be put down.”

Good on them.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gangs of masked white supremacists roam our streets indiscriminately killing civilians. But at least I don't have to hear Kamala Harris's cackle.

A Whisky Pete X Grok colab. What could possibly go wrong?

Ah, the Streisand Effect A friend was just saying this afternoon that she'd never heard of Dr Abdel-Fattah (I suspect a lot of Australians hadn't) and that if she had just been allowed to appear without fuss, a few hundred people would have popped along to her session and that would have been it

Incluso si no puedes patrullar, ven a trabajar desde una cafetería en alguno de los corredores culturales para que puedas estar presente y apoyar a nuestros vecinos.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

Right, so Malinauskis' meddling in #adelaidewritersweek has cost his state $62 million in revenue, 9 weeks before the state election. Cumuppence! #auspol

Fixed it.

I am delighted to welcome Nadhim Zahawi to Reform UK. He will bring useful experience, such as claiming £6,000 to heat his stables and avoiding £3.7m tax by hiding £27m offshore and threatening to sue anyone who asked about it.

If a machine can mimic a thought, does it mean it is thinking? This dialogue strips away the hype of modern AI to reveal the "Code That Could Never Think." It’s a provocative look at why our current path in AI is not a bridge to intelligence, but a detour away from it. ocrampal.com/the-code-tha...

Every year arrives pristine and full of promise. Every year we manage to wreck it. From war to climate collapse, the pattern never changes, writes Phillip Adams. #auspol #PublicLife #2026 #HumanNature #PearlsAndIrritations

Am I ever gonna see your face again? No way, get fucked, fuck Sky News!

I am a Holocaust historian and a massive opponent of this regime and of ICE BUT... I have NEVER heard of this slogan being used by the Nazis. Stop making shit up. They look bad enough on their own.

Stolen because it was very good (thanks Chris) @cathywilcox.bsky.social

Isn’t it absolutely marvellous to see that the hard work of our Prime Minister, state premiers, festival boards and newspapers has significantly reduced the problem of social cohesion to the point where you barely notice it at all these days

I reckon this quote from him, on this particular matter, tells you everything you need to know

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Did everyone hear a lineup of politicians on ABC for days, denouncing this attack as part of a wave of Islamophobia in Australia, & then the Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, who'd been invited for a long interview to talk about it? No? Neither did I. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The fact that the Israel Lobby, zionists and Coalition are calling Cathy Wilcox antisemitic and demanding her sacking just confirms how right this is. #IStandwithCathyWilcox

I have just submitted a request to Parliament to have an e-petition calling on the #auspol House of Representatives to condemn X, call on the Australian Government to cease using X for official communications and to ban X (& Grok) until it is demonstrated that the app can’t be used to generate CSAM.

“Mainstream media should hold power to account. Instead, it is increasingly complicit in inflaming the very authoritarianism it should expose. This is not journalism; it is propaganda that manufactures consent for the erosion of democratic rights.”

“The Ukrainians are aiding Europeans and Americans by fighting for their survival. We owe them our gratitude, not the other way around.” 100% correct 👇
