😐 well, fuck.

Hear hear.

I'm willing to forgo the polite part.

Ahmed the Fruiterer being the everyday hero that saved multiple lives of mostly Jewish people today is the only politics worth a pinch of shit in this act of terrorism

Australia giving us Head when it matters.

What the hell just happened?Who says Test Cricket is boring? Sure, this one was won and done within 2 days, but no. It's not boring. #Ashes

I was at work this arvo, so I missed the innings break when Australia were all out. I went out to the balcony for a ciggy just then, and came back in to find England all out. This first Ashes test is the definition of "not here to fuck spiders".

Jesus fuck, I didn't think we'd still have a wicket in hand by stumps. #Ashes

So the Aussie men are off to a nice start. Wonder how the Poms will go in the field #Ashes

The sky is clear, the moon is full, and once again I'm reminded that I bought blockout curtains as opposed to blackout curtains. Bloody dyslexia.

Holy shit, something's actually happening 😳 didn't have this on my bingo card.

Kemi Badenoch: "As George Bernard Shaw once said 'never wrestle with a pig'..." David Cameron, lurking at the back of the room:

Will pro Israel lobby groups pay for this? Will Ita Buttrose pay for this? No, we will pay for this. The already stretched ABC budget will fund less local content this year due to political interference and terrible management. #OurABC #AusPol

This kind of humanitarian assistance, while well-intentioned, feels more like a political gesture, a way for Australia to say "we’re doing something", rather than a serious response to a crisis that demands real political will. #auspol #Gaza

We see you, @senatorwong.bsky.social. Source: www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

@thesaturdaypaper.com.au what kind of minimising bullshit is this headline? "Hunger crisis"? Call it what it is. It's deliberate starvation.

"Penny Wong warns Israel that occupying Gaza could violate international law" Gee, @senatorwong.bsky.social. You've knowingly participated in Israel's genocide of the Palestinians for 22 months, and suddenly you pretend to care about Israel maybe violating international law? Deplorable. #auspol

Cinda was given a taste of ham as a treat for international cat day, which she relished and immediately regurgitated. If that isn't a perfect example of domestic catness, then here's an earlier pic of when she sat where I'd been sitting before I got up to go to the loo.

We all felt we had done something memorable. It was the opposition from government and police to the march that brought hundreds of thousands of us out in the rain. The point we made has clearly registered. #auspol #IsraelPalestine

Hard Truth.

Former NSW Labor Premier and Federal Foreign Minister Bob Carr. 👇 #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

At Dan Murphy’s in Brighton East. As I was packing the car a teenager walked past and said “Learn to park your car properly, fuckwit”. I said “OK mate.” He then thanked me for the way I carried myself, adding that it was “first class”. Then I ran over him.

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes. So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

And the papacy goes too...

Australia must stop shielding Israel from accountability. Amnesty International finds Israel is committing genocide in Gaza—demand action now! Sign the petition: action.amnesty.org.au/act-now/end-... #auspol

“So you lost.” “Really? I didn’t notice. Thanks for telling me, Brian.” “You started off in front but blew it with poor policy.” “Thanks, Brian.” “Nuclear bombed.” “Very funny, Brian.” “On to more serious matters, how’s the fallout?” “Fuck off, Brian.” #auspol #binnight

Ok, I'm ready.

Well, glad he cleared that up. australiainstitute.org.au/post/this-el...

Perfect 🤣

The base line of this song is one of the prettiest ever recorded.

Free speech isn’t absolute because speech has power. It can inspire, inform, or persuade. It can also incite violence, spread lies, or cause harm. That’s why every democracy draws a line: speech that causes harm isn’t protected. It’s about recognizing when speech becomes a weapon, not a viewpoint.

"Few of us stop to think how unusual it is that a competitor also enjoys control over the starter’s gun." @joshuablackjb.bsky.social on @australiainstitute.org.au live blog on how often Australians vote in elections. australiainstitute.org.au/post/think-t...

With less than two weeks to go in the election campaign, both major parties have done little to address the deficiencies in our tax system, which distort the housing market, worsen inequality, promote the use of fossil fuels and encourage damaging behaviour. Media release:

Albanese to Dutton: "You are part of a *coalition*. The only Party trying to form government in its own right is the Labor Party." Important reminder. The Libs are never able to form government without the National Party. #LeadersDebate

Dutton was in the Cabinet that gave us Robodebt. Asking him if he cares about those voters is a silly question. #AusPol

So the reason the media has saturation coverage of the Pope’s death ATM is the exact same as why they did for the Queen: capitalism & patriarchy are inextricably entwined with colonialism, the military, monarchy, religion, politics & media to keep the rich rich and the poor in their fucking place.

Lord John has risen, stunning as ever, with a furniture/cabinetry/wardrobe design filum. Praise be.
