The members of the flotilla have demonstrated exceptional bravery in the face of a genocidal force. We call on the Australian government to fulfil its obligations to its citizens and ensure their safety. greens.org.au/campaigns/st...

AI CEO GIVING COMMENCEMENT SPEECH: Find a way to say yes to AI, in the vain hope of being spared from the fires in which we will soon incinerate humanity *boos sounding through the auditorium* AI CEO: (chuckling indulgently) Well, well, I didn't expect that reaction. I guess you don't like science

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has given away the game Turns out politicians "can just do stuff regular people actually need and want and it's OK" (wildly popular even!) [And if politicians don't, it's cos they can't be arsed]

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

Which makes it incredibly clear - anti-zionism isn't anti-semitism - the worst anti-Semites are the ones who support the right wing government of Israel* - pandering to the genocidal government of Israel helps anti-Semites *Likely either BC they're Rapture loons or just hate Muslims even more

Excellent cartoon by @meganjherbert.bsky.social

Belgrave/Lilydale line weekend evenings: long 30 minute waits between trains, and standing room only. Not good enough for our big city. More services needed.

the crew behind VLC are legit heroes. they've been offered millions (tens of millions?) to sell VLC or incorporate advertising and every time they've said, nah, we like that our video player is free software for everyone on the planet

The existence of billionaires - a tiny minority of parasites amassing obscene wealth from the exploitation of workers - is propaganda enough for socialism, but it's even better when they actually open their mouths.

“A cohort of entitled extremists who refuse to take responsibility for a genocidal position while presenting as a group of marginalised victims is hard to stomach.”

Live look at trump hearing the phrase “Thucydides Trap”

Clown show. My @smh cartoon.

Fundamentally, a lot of the problems in British politics comes from a political generation being forced to do something they think is a bad idea, to appease voters they think are wrong with beliefs they don't really understand.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

"If anything changes, I will be forced to raise it by the exact amount I already will be" he said to the media. chaser.com.au/general-news...

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

If you oppose antisemitism from the left but don’t oppose antisemitism from the right, you don’t oppose antisemitism. You oppose the left.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night. The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. #Bafta #Baftas

It's called the Godzilla El Niño, because it's coming for us all 😕 #auspol #climate #climateemergency #climitecrisis #heatwave

ABC dumps Michelle Millthorpe concession for PHanson in a pretty brutal live switch. Which kinda says it all really.

Super normal stuff.

Why is the ABC only mentioning Reform's impact on UK Labour's vote today - instead of the Greens? Extraordinary and very telling omission #auspol

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs

Focused on the budget #auspol #budget2026

@rowecartoon.bsky.social on point as usual

Palestine is the moral issue of our time, as was apartheid in the 1970s and 80s. your stance and your silence define you.

“Long-time supporters of Israel have turned away in revulsion at the actions of the Israeli military. It will take many years for Israel to clear its name, assuming that it wishes to do so, and to re-establish itself in the international community.” JM Coetzee

Feed people. House people. Make people safe. Protect nature. Reduce waste. Reduce energy usage. What am I? An extremist. #Auspol.

Every now and then I remember Tim Walz’s “they’re weird” campaign and how close the dems were to actually shifting the way people perceive the right in a very real way and then they just…stopped

On the new SubwayTakes, Kareem Rahma and leader of the UK Green Party, Zack Polanski, discuss making dark money in politics more visible by giving a nod to one of George Carlin's best takes. If only we could make this a reality! #SheShed

"a leader proudly smiling for a photo as he puts a band-aid on a haemorrhage." Perfectly described. #auspol

Former prime minister Tony Abbott is in the frame to become president of the Liberal Party www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Nothing terrifies both right-wingers and centrist ‘sensibles’ more than the prospect of a politician with compassion winning votes. Watching them freak out over @zackpolanski.bsky.social is quite something. Imagine if they were even half as energised to deal with poverty and war.

Shoutout to public transit in general honestly

Yeah sorry there's nothing you can say to me to make me sit here and go along with the latest fake antisemitism scare. You don't get to assault free speech throughout the western world to protect the interests of a genocidal apartheid state and then demand I be silent about it.

But not yet. Now’s not the time. Now’s not the time to raise the rate or support social housing. It’s the time to back the fossil fuel industry, cut the NDIS and legal aid, and spend more on missiles and submarines.

It’s not the time for a climate policy that actually reduces emissions, or legislation or $ to protect the environment, or for a NACC that finds corruption, or for whistleblower reforms. It’s the time to make FOI harder, and prevent free speech about Gaza, and to back Trump and Israel’s war crimes.

Maybe one day he should try it

If you call DFAT about the 6 Aussies kidnapped near Crete, you get a message that says, "the Israeli Navy is patrolling territorial waters" (Greece's!?), and, "Don't join others seeking to break the blockade. Previous attempts have resulted in death..." and then it hangs up.
