In the first Trump Administration it took 3 years before we got to the "insane off-the-cuff medical advice from Dr Don" phase. This time it only took like 8 months.

EXCELLENT work by Sally Sara and #RNbreakfast this morning running the long and harrowing interview with an Australian doctor in Gaza

Just spotted this. The sweetest book title to ever title, possibly.

Simone Lia’s billboard on Endwell Road, Brockley SE4: part of her exhibition/site-specific outreach for her new book HOW TO MAKE LIFE BETTER WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S GETTING WORSE. It’s actually a drawing of the block opposite - most of the book takes place in and around Brockley.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

No idea huh? I wonder what the dragon's like. Is it a Grand Dragon, Stephen?

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

David Rowe recognition.. Financial Review

Always hilarious the way people think a picture of pork smallgoos is kryptonite or a huge insult to Muslims; most of whom could not care less about a tiresome trope and more about lying about their religion and vilifying it

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Then they came for the talk show hosts and I was like yeah whatever... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is so utterly vile.

V interesting discussion

PM @albomp.bsky.social FM @senatorwong.bsky.social it's good that Australia has formally recognised Palestine as a sovereign and independent state Now you need to END material, military and political support for Israel And SANCTION ISRAEL NOW

Trump: "I hate my opponents and I don't want the best for them" So glad all his supporters have spent the past week talking about how the left are so uncivil. So glad all the shitty centrists of the world have spent the past week saying the left needs to reach out and be kind.

This is really good. As a paid subscriber I recommend it

Well this is extremely fucken exciting. Insanely blessed with this cast and team. Going to set every day not quite believing it, trying not to knock anything over. au.variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Our universal healthcare is being eroded. The Morrison government made a whole load of changes to Medicare that the Albo government hasn't reversed. People over 55 are one of the biggest costs to Medicare. It economical to let them die. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

“I can confirm we are seeing single gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and chest.” “Just 2 days ago, we lost 6 children under the age of 12 to single shots to the head.” “This is worse than anything I have ever witnessed.” —American doctor Kathleen Gallagher speaking from Gaza

In other words, 94% of those killed in Gaza since March 25 were civilians - up from 83% in the first 1.5 years of this genocidal war. Another symptom of stage 2 of the Gaza Genocide under Trump: fewer casualties so far, but targeting almost entirely civilians. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Recognition of Palestine is Not Enough, Sanctions Must Follow to Stop the Genocide. Read our full statement on Australian recognition of Palestine at: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/09/jewi...

As a sign of support for Palestine, Björk has removed her music from from Israeli streaming services.

It's VISUAL PUN WEEK at Inklings and I'm kicking it off this afternoon with a print rather than an ink and watercolour drawing. Sign up for THREE FREE GAG CARTOONS per week. It's the best therapy you can get. inklings.ghost.io/p/34aa2345-2...

Super gross how some of the MAGA crowd are relishing this Charlie Kirk funeral. People like Stephen Miller look actually happy and excited to be there.

And yet never actually mentioned anything Jesus Christ said once.

Formal recognition of the state of Palestine overnight is a welcome step but we must also listen to the experts outlining what further steps Australia & other nations must take to prevent the ongoing genocide in Gaza. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Terrorism in unacceptable and should be dealt with quickly and decisively. Genocide is unacceptable and should be dealt with quickly and decisively. The only criticism one can reasonably have with @albomp.bsky.social move is that he was too slow. #auspol

Today is the anniversary of my mum's death from ovarian cancer. Using this as an excuse to tell you to go get checked. Tell your friends, your sisters, your wives, your mums, anyone in your life with ovaries. It's the most deadly cancer, you only start showing symptoms when it's too late.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

this exists it is called thinking

Sydney

It also ignores that leaving was a form of influence! Millions sent a clear message about the minimum standards of fairness and respect we believe are foundational for civic conversation. Their obsession with our departure makes clear it was effectively communicated; they just don't like it

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.

ICYMI- my #FreeSpeech cartoon for yesterday's @australia.theguardian.com

Australian doctor in Gaza introduces Kenan who lives in the hospital because he has no family left after Israel killed them 💔

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

Two years into the genocide and killing of more than half a million of my people by Israel, why don't we have structures that can mobilise support in defence of people who are fired for speaking truth? Even, gosh, a website with a petition? Where is the money going?

Aside from everything else it’s just endlessly gobsmacking what a fucking idiot the actual US President is

"Depressed people often don’t have the energy to commit violent crimes, and psychotic people usually have trouble executing an elaborate plan. It’s angry people who kill, particularly angry men with access to firearms." www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...
