I stg if we have another pandemic right after I’ve moved to Melbourne with no friends and I’m locked down in my apartment by myself I’m gonna be real salty

Having watched all of folding idea’s vids on Mr Beast, it’s comical and heartbreaking that Jimmy clearly wants to make stories but is incapable of knowing what good stories are because he doesn’t watch or read any.

As an autistic child/teen Terry Pratchett’s writing was a shining light in the darkness - his books taught me so much about people, our idiosyncrasies and how we often don’t make sense, and that’s ok. His writing shaped my early sense of justice and humour. GNU Sir Terry Pratchett

Great piece by @amyremeikis.bsky.social on the Point that gets to the heart of what is so endlessly infuriating about Labor politics today. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

My god the labor party are truly the party of cowards now, clearly signaling they’re not going to consider a gas tax. The political will from the public is there and yet they’d rather save money by cutting ndis

I swear every episode of After America I can hear a bit more of @emmashortis.bsky.social soul leave her body 🥲 It’s very relatable

Last week at the Press Club the Prime Minister said (again) that the US is Australia’s most important security ally. We’d better hope his office is doing everything they can to leverage that right now. If Trump follows through and gives the order, there’s every likelihood it comes through here.

Watching Ponies and I mean this in the best way - I LOVE how expressive Emilia Clarke’s face is. She’s so beautiful and has such expressiveness

Wouldn’t it be nice if the labor party used this crisis as a push to build electrified train and tram infrastructure nationally

@australiainstitute.org.au would love a search function on the Point website!! Or am I stupid and missing it… And slightly nerdier request but an RSS feed link would be great

We cool with this fam? thenightly.com.au/politics/woo...

Watched one battle last night and my conclusion coming out is gd I really gotta learn how to make a radio I guess, the surveillance state is only getting worse

I just discovered someone I studied at uni with works at Anthropic now???? I’m crashing out - Do I know someone who went on to help develop the warcrime generator 10000

Israel and America rediscovering in real time that laws of war weren’t created from some sort of hippy good will but out lessons learnt that when you do terrible things to your enemy, they do them back to you.

Dude trump probably HATES the guy who collapsed behind him. Way to upstage him

Dude what is Trump’s obsession with stairs LMAO

Omfg the liberal and national party leaders is the most cursed blunt rotation you could imagine

And there it is. Actually insane given how overwhelming the evidence is in support of care for trans people.

Omg y’all everyone watch this queer short film starring Vic Michaelis and Ava Lalezarzadeh. It’s achingly beautiful and was exactly what I needed right now to feel hope that we will always have community youtu.be/Z2rObPKVqm8?...

Amongst all the other terrible news, there’s some pretty fucked anti-trans laws being passed in various US states. Along with terf actions getting increasingly violent in the UK. Not a fun time to be gender diverse

I don’t know if it’s just the internet I’m being exposed to but it feels like people are more mad about the Iranian sailors being killed than the school girls.

Is Australia already involved in the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran? This morning, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that a US submarine sunk an Iranian ship in international waters off the coast of Sri Lanka.

Crazy how Israel and the US seem to have carte Blanche to commit war crimes and Australian outlets won’t even consider a shred of criticism. Our media so beholden to US interests

NATURE IS HEALING

If Zverev gets through because Carlos is injured I’m going to have an aneurysm

After America is back (early, because everything is terrible, obviously). @angusrb.bsky.social and I talk Venezuela, Greenland, and imperial revival. With apologies for the distressing amount of Stephen Miller content. australiainstitute.org.au/post/us-inva...

Following the decision from the Board of the Adelaide Festival, The Australia Institute is withdrawing its support from this year’s literary festival. Here is our statement, and a personal one from me.

Americans have the brains of medieval peasants when it comes to the state killing citizens. Half the country is so ready to start throwing tomatoes no matter the circumstances

"The Australian government cannot just sit on its hands, issuing a kind of global get-well card hoping that everything ends as best it can." My excellent colleague Allan Behm in @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Patel is so obviously a fan of Hong Kong cinema and action, Monkey Man has the best action choreography I’ve seen in a long while

Was not expecting so much gender diverse rep in Monkey Man, what a pleasant surprise. Based Dev Patel

White nation kills brown people for ‘science’. Continuing to destroy trust in life saving medicines in the most vulnerable places

If I was a fisherman south of the US I would simply retire at this point. The fish aren’t worth it

Holy what a crazy thing to write and then publish

Deeply troubled that the last bastion of hand wavers when you let someone drive down a narrow street are the guys in giant utes and yank tanks. What has our culture become smh

Got into my masters degreeeeeeee!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Taking a break from roller blading next to the path and this family fully daggered me in unison as they walked past for genuinely no reason istg

Cassie’s content is both hilarious and so politically poignant. Goated creator

Genuinely devastated we don’t have raccoons in Australia. Obsessed with their grabby lil hands

I had a dream that @mattbevan.bsky.social was doing an if you’re listening about my high school trombone career. He discussed my style and influences and how it changed and had some strong opinions about where I went wrong. I’m honoured tbh

Will Hell to pay be returning at some point? I need my fix of crazy stories and great politics @ellehardy.bsky.social

NL playing Road to Empress has been pure cinema start to end

I need to know the secret behind home cooking with bob. Is he like an aristocrat with a family who owns a castle or something. Where does he find the time. Someone expose the dark underbelly of this wholesome TikTok channel

You absolutely should not dismiss the AT Protocol technology that runs this place as boring nerd stuff, because that is the exact technology we are going to need to ensure that usable social media that isn’t controlled by Nazis continues to exist.

The more pointed and critical Ta-Nehisi Coates got over the interview, the less Ezra let him talk.

Sad to see Angela Collier blame herself for the algorithm directing her content to conspiracy theory viewers who lack the basic skills to understand what she’s talking about. I and many others love her physics content and it’s clear she loves physics.

I keep seeing companies put class action waivers in their TOS and I’m like… they can’t do that can they? Seems to go against the spirit of the law in general

Adelaide central market is a PvP zone an hour before close on saturdays holy

Unironically think ‘trantifa’ is very funny
