If speaking out against a genocide, or supporting Palestinian people's human rights is viewed as "culturally insensitive", I'm sorry (!) When did genocide become a key element of someone's culture? #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine #AdelaideWritersFestival #auspol

ICE agent Michael Muscarella of Malden, MA has been terrorizing Minnesota residents.

For the record as I am being asked, I made a personal decision as an author to send this to my friend Louise Adler earlier today. #Adelaidewritersweek

with a classic Letteism (“the pen is mightier than the Board”) Kathy Lette withdraws from AWW unless Randa Abdel Fattah is reinstated. She is “heartened that so many writers are taking a stand for free speech together”.

Who's going to organise the Adelaide anti-racism festival? Hold it next door and at the same time and it'll have double the attendance of this celebration of bigotry

Thredbo.

"But what is clear is that the Board and the Premier both believe adults in Adelaide can’t be trusted to decide for themselves whether to wander over to hear the thoughts of an Australian academic of Palestinian origin, or whether to wander somewhere else."

Elon Musk's AI chatbot is churning out non-consensual sexual deepfakes every minute. Meanwhile the Australian government continues to pay the company millions, writes Cam Wilson.

The Guardian doing inexplicable voluntary free public relations work for a corporation profiting from sexual abuse by headlining this as the image gen being "turned off". It isn't off: they've just monetised it. What the fuck are we doing here people, come on. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"The Australia Institute’s decision to withdraw its involvement in, and sponsorship of, Adelaide Writers’ Week was easy to make but raises difficult questions", writes Dr Richard Denniss in The Point. Read the full piece here: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

After Bondi, calls for a Royal Commission appeared overnight, delivered by rotating groups using identical language. That is astroturfing, a PR tactic that simulates grassroots demand to manufacture urgency, crowd out scrutiny, and lock in policy before evidence is tested. More on YT

'Jewish Community Council of South Australia public and government liaison Norman Schuele said the council sent a letter to the Adelaide Festival board "a few days ago" requesting the removal of Dr Abdel-Fattah from the Writers' Week line-up.' www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Something for the RC to consider? Nah of course not, racism is fine if it's against Palestinians

It's a choice between burning the whole thing to the ground or admitting that human rights are universal and genocide is bad. They've made their choice.

“Cultural sensitivity” means destroying an entire arts festival rather than allowing a Palestinian person to come along and talk about her new novel.

1. I don’t agree with those who slam the engagement experience here on Bluesky. I can’t speak for others’ experiences, but mine is 98% positive & constructive. 2. A key to that for me is immediately blocking negative, insulting or toxic sources. 3. I don’t like block lists. I make my own judgement.

Have they caught Desi, yet?

Australia's internet safety regulator has stepped up its pressure on Elon Musk's X amid its AI deepfakes scandal, demanding it explain how it's complying with legal requirements to detect and prevent CSEM.

🇵🇸🕎 #WATCH | CBS filmed but DID NOT air this interview where Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends Mayor Zorhan Mamdani, confirming that he is NOT antisemitic. The media doesn't agree; hence, they didn't air it - Let's make sure EVERYONE sees it. Zionist media is hiding the truth. (Jewish Voice)

I'm doing the best I can. I'm supporting Friends, inc. CFA volunteers. My old hometown of Kinglake (Black Saturday) is again under threat. Thanks to the businesses, the pubs, etc, offering free food, shelter, water and free accommodation.

There is a possibility the Longwood fire could impact Melbourne's outer suburbs as well. Please, even if you live in the outer suburbs like Coldstream, Chirnside Park, Lilydale, Whittlesea, Sotuh Morang, Mernda, and nearby you need to take action. NOW. DO NOT WAIT.

Best of 2025: If Palestinian children sound angry, it is because they have seen the world at its cruellest before they have had the chance to live freely. #auspol #israelpalestine
