www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... Why is our government pussy footing around with pirates and kidnappers. Send in the troops. All the money we squander on defence they should enjoy doing something useful

Once again: Off the coast of Crete 600 miles off the coast of 🇮🇱 A humanitarian flotilla seized By fascist ‘military’ Over 100 activists kidnapped in international waters For seeking to break an illegal siege of Gaza 🇵🇸 Can anyone still deny 🇮🇱 is not a terrorist state? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Israel is a rogue state which is kidnapping Australian citizens on the high seas in complete disregard for international law. It’s nothing less than piracy and the Australian government needs to stop hand-wringing and take action. Call or email your MP now.

.. which is described absolutely poetically by Bill Kirchern in this song of his. Stuff that used to apply to a lot of things, but seems to be all back to front and upside down now...

Looking for Joseph Conrad’s description of his ship, The Otago was asked if I wanted an AI response. Out of curiosity: I got this. “Conrad presents the Otago as an old, weather-beaten merchant sailing vessel with a modest, workmanlike dignity rather than any grand or romantic glamour.” #AI

"Australians are getting smashed at the petrol pump, smashed at the supermarket and smashed on their energy bills, but no other companies make anything close to the profits the big four banks are taking from mortgage holders.” – Richard Denniss Read more ➡️ https://theaus.in/4fujRES

Hobart already has electric ferries running to/from MONA. They're fantastic and were implemented by a private business operator who knew how to make a wise purchase, rather than a government being bullied by fossil fuel companies.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

‘Tasmania’s Plenty Cider has taken out one of the most significant awards in the industry’ pulsetasmania.com.au/news/derwent...

In just months, Zohran Mamdani has shown what politics looks like when leaders actually try governing for ordinary people instead of donors and cable news panels. Affordable housing, childcare, transit, workers’ dignity and immigrant protection are not “radical” ideas.

“It seems to be entirely lost on the government . . . that Australia’s natural gas does NOT belong to them. "Australia's natural gas resource belongs to ALL Australians." – Andrew Wilkie MP ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax ➡️ https://theaus.in/4eNfW5P

America has become a united confederacy of fools and idiots. How sad.

Always remember that One Notion is a party founded on white supremacy. Pauline Hanson is an ignorant and uneducated racist puppet of a fossil fuel billionaire. History will judge ON voters harshly, and many of us already do. They disgust me.

A film director, historian and Holocaust survivor speak to Al Jazeera as opinions shift. Historian Avi Shlaim: “The core values of Judaism are truth, justice, and peace...The present Israeli government is the antithesis of these core Jewish values.”

The PHON cookers just found out John Williamson is not with them, and they are losing their shit. :chefskiss: #auspol

Making slight changes to tax settings (especially half-assed tinkering by grandfathering things) is not going to resolve our housing crisis. The market will not adequately create or distribute the things we need to survive.

3/ A deal that promised Australia a fantastical fleet of undersea shootyboats, in a shakedown so brazen the East India Company might’ve said, "Steady on, lads, that’s a bit much, innit?" ☝️https://aliensideboob.substack.com/p/a-ponzi-scheme-for-used-periscopes johnmenadue.com/post/2023/04...

A South African university full of decent people. Standing on the right side of history. This can't happen in Australia b/c the Special Zionist Tsar for Genocide, Apartheid, Ethnic Cleansing & White Supremacy Jillian Segal & @albomp.bsky.social say it's antisemitic to care about Palestinian lives.

The northern Tasmanian town of Ross is working to protect its night sky, a years-long process that would see it formally recognised for its darkness and clarity.

If Trump is calling Xi 'a great leader and a friend' - then who is AUKUS for - and why are we spending billions on it while so many Australians can't afford food or to go to the doctor or to have a roof over their heads? #auspol

It was never intended for us to get submarines. It was always a bribe/tithe/tribute to our empirical overlords to plead protection against those meanies in China. Oh, and a bit of graft skimming off the top for the corruptible. #auspol #aukus

This should be normalised. Modern LED lighting can be the right brightness (low), aimed down (duh), and the right colour (reddish yellow). There's no need for towns to be visible from 50km away, and we don't need to burn coal all night "cheaply" anymore!

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

AI doubles your productivity—go to the beach or make twice as much. As an economist, I love it.⁣ ⁣ But then I talked to my kids. They didn't ask for this. And honestly? I get that now too.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Inea’s story is one of home, tradition, and memory over generations.

I stand in solidarity with Palestinians who are commemorating the Nakba today. The Israeli Government’s continuing genocide in Gaza is an extension of the Nakba, despite Palestinians having every right to self-determination and to live in peace. #auspol #politas

I'm really this old. Taken on one of my street photography roamings at around 15 years old. NYC has changed quite a bit. #streetphotography #timessquare #art #blueskyart #nostalgia #streets #photography #historical bobswansonart.com/home Live link in my bio.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

People said this same sort of thing about horses when the automobile was invented. "People have been riding horses throughout history and will continue to do so in the future."

"You can't say the cost of a puppy is $200 because that was the adoption fee." The Pentagon's $25B price tag does exactly that — it ignores veterans' care, disability payments, and decades of interest. The true cost of war shows up long after the fighting stops.

Firmus won approval for an AI centre in Launceston last year. It is headed by Oliver Curtis, who completed a sentence in 2019 for insider trading. Also convicted was John Hartman, who was subsequently employed by billionaire Twiggy Forrest, who also has interests in Tasmania. #politas #auspol 1/
