How odd that I'm on the 9/SMH Idea Xchange mailing list where they do their reader polls and I didn't see this poll. Possibly because they know that, from past responses, they wouldn't get the response they wanted so they went somewhere else where they would. Dishonest. #AusPol

It should be legal to hunt billionaires for sport. They can easily avoid being hunted for sport by reducing their wealth to a mere *checks notes* 999 million.

#sharing this with Ms.20 on #ChristmasEve #ThreeSistersBrewery Space Juice #NZBeer #BskyBeer the balance of this is awesome. (Ms.20 apologises for the pour)

Poster by Sam Wallman in Sydney, denouncing the instrumentalization of the Bondi massacre by various politicians and media organizations to repress and denounce the Palestinian solidarity movement, despite the killers having no ties to the Palestine movement whatsoever.

Looking forward to the King's Speech...?

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

The people who support this are also the ones trying to erase trans people --- LITERALLY because they claim to fear men barging into women's restrooms.

The good old days..,

when AI tech is mature next year, i will create a video of a white blonde woman getting fired from her job for refusing to apologize for being white. video will go viral. next, i will start a gofundme, which will earn me $2M in tax free income, allowing me to buy a home in a walkable neighborhood

At some point a serious news organisation is going to have to do an in-depth investigation into the far-right radicalisation of America’s billionaires and media elites and the impact that has had on, well, everything.

These are amazing. Beautiful and charming

It has basically become accepted that the Bondi terror attacks were perprated by leftist anti-genocide protestors who heard the phrase 'from the river to the sea' at the harbour bridge and were immediately activated into committing mass murder

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

Can't help noticing Matt Golding's latest cartoon (below) was published on The Age's letters page, but not in its Sydney Morning Herald counterpart. Given the latter's 'coverage' (for want of a better word) of #bondibeach, I'm not surprised. #auspol

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

Copaganda has successfully convinced us that not only is society super dangerous and scary, but that cops and punitive measures are the only way to fix it. Even though research has shown time and time again that social programs that help people reduce crime more than cops ever could.

Seeing the adverts for "StandUpToHate" with Kyle Sandilands being front and centre really was an insane choice that undermines the entire campaign

Focussing on this from a pure security perspective, it’s wild that an IS-linked attack was just carried out in Australia and we’re barely talking about it - the focus is on protestors and universities. www.afr.com/policy/forei...

Trans people have been competing in sports for decades. Governing bodies already have rules and measures in place to monitor competitors hormone levels. The only thing thats new is the manufactured hysteria around it. And you clearly dont know anything about biology lmao.

Lol.

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

It was never about protecting women, it was never about women's sport.

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through

A few months into starting school my Aboriginal/Arab son started coming home from school very quiet and wouldn’t really talk about it. Eventually he expressed that he ‘didn’t want to be brown anymore’. That’s how we found out about the bullying. Surely addressing all bigotry would be preferable?

Thanks to Australia's social media ban, age verification is now required to get DMs on Bluesky. We won't be completing any verification, so we no longer get DMs here. If you want to talk to us, our email address is [email protected]. Thank you.

Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate. Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.

I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke. Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.

Scrooged

remember when some of y'all were welcoming her to the resistance ... please, next time she mildly criticizes trump, please remember she's still the enemy, trying to hurt my family specifically. and they aren't gonna stop with minors.

Government: get off social media and go outside Also the government: no! Not like that!

Ah yes, that's where a recently unemployed 24-year-old bricklayer, who spent years hanging around Australia's pro-IS network, and his 50-year-old migrant father were radicalised: university anti-genocide protests 🙄 Be fucking serious for a moment.

Two men. My @smh cartoon.

Maybe police and security services should have spent less time harassing peace protesters and more time looking into IS-affiliated guys with multiple weapons who went to the Philippines for terrorist training…?

does oliver have any books for sale? i like his writing style

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

Why not just make it a law that the guns must be stored at the gun club in a locker? I don’t get it.

Socialist Party statement

The trouble with billionaires is at some point, they lose the friends who would take them aside and say "Mate, your being a bellend". They end up surrounded by sycophants and dickheads who nod along furiously. "Memento Mori".

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese." Butt out, Netanyahu #auspol michaelwest.com.au/butt-out-of-...

Red Cross in Sydney, asking for blood donations. If you’re due, today is a good day to go, or if you’ve been thinking about starting, do it now. Employers, give people a little time off to donate. Organise your social or work group to go together. Do it today. #Bondi

It might seem like trite advice, but I’ve been wrangling PTSD for 25 years- stop refreshing the headlines. Acknowledge that that your anger is helplessness wrapped in fear. Eat. If you can’t stomach food- a protein shake (vanilla up and go is my go to). 2/

Its the guns.
