NEW: Mayor Mamdani announces that he has looked at all options and has determined he does NOT have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant if he comes to New York, but the feds do, and he encourages them to do so. He adds that Netanyahu is NOT WELCOME in New York City.

A 660 ton steel ball just did its job: watch it swing inside Taipei 101 during Taiwan's 7.2 earthquake, canceling out the tower's sway.

I think the Governor of Kentucky has every right and responsibility to either see Mitch or declare the seat vacant.

Today’s edition of No Shit Sherlock.

Anyone even know who the local mayor is here? Nah, me neither - maybe we could steal this one? 🤪

⚡️ Update: Ukraine hits Russian oil depot, logistics facilities in Moscow Oblast, 6 Black Sea vessels, Zelensky confirms. "This war must be brought to an end, and that is only possible by increasing the pressure on the sole cause of this war – Russia," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X.

This is how it’s done @albomp.bsky.social Jillian Segal

After witnessing yet another example of Barnaby being ‘tired and emotional’ in an interview, Australian political journalists need to ask themselves this: If a female politician behaved the way he does, how long would it take you to declare her unfit to hold any office? #auspol #abc730

Interesting…

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

Pretty sure that’s what he hears from the public Every Day 🤣 #auspol

Good morning Blue Sky

China just got a heliostat plant – a concentrated solar power (CSP) station using a large field of computer-controlled mirrors, [heliostats], to reflect the sun on to a tall central tower – to power 170k homes a year and save 130k tons of CO2. The US is getting a ballroom.

BREAKING: LONDON (AP) — British prosecutors announce they are seeking extradition of Tate brothers from US on rape, sex trafficking charges.

The toxic influencer who has made "hyper-masculinity" his brand was arresting wearing Doris Day clam-digger slacks and a kicky purple blouse.

Truth… #auapol

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

So - Socialism is bad and scary and should be run out of town?? Can we have public officials like this, too, please.

Todd Blanche is violating federal law by covering up the Epstein files. Rather than confirming him as attorney general, the Senate ought to demand his prosecution.

If the National Party actually cared about their communities you’d think there’d be some pressure to actually assist regional areas in a meaningful way.

"Segal even told the inquiry she’d like a positive story of Israel told for every negative—a demand that could see the [ABC] follow every story on Israel bombing children alive in their tents with a nice story on the flowers in Netanyahu’s garden." — Ronni Salt theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.

To every New Yorker: this rule is not yet in effect. The earliest it could take effect is Sept. 18, 2026. New York City will use every tool at our disposal to fight this attack on immigrant families and the communities that make our city the greatest on earth.

I’m pretty sure things were better in the old Telecom days …

Critically endangered: The Philippine eagle is the world's largest eagle 1 meter tall with a wingspan up to 2 meters. Its bright blue-gray eyes can see eight times more clearly than human eyes. These birds are stealth hunters, working in pairs. Check the fact sheet I attached in the message

I think most Australians know about the Holocaust which is why we can’t believe what the Zionists are prepared to do to others

Now @apnews.com has a deeply reported story confirming the recently-hired ICE officer who shot a man in Maine had serious mental health issues and a long history of violence against women. This comes after ICE slashed hiring standards and rushed some into the field before background checks cleared.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Not only do we stand by our reporting. Madison Square Garden’s ridiculous lawsuit actually confirms it, noting the company did, in fact, track the sexual orientation of LGBTQIA celebrities in its talent database.

These guys should be cloned, reproduced and spread all over the country. How could a whole population of Marc Elias and team be bad? 😁

I'm watching the Trump speech because I have to for my job and it's the most batshit crazy presidential speech I've ever heard in my nearly 50 years alive Where it's coherent—which is only intermittently—it's on its face the largest tureen of turd soup any POTUS has ever served

Anyone else find it suspicious that the White House is releasing a bunch of “newly discovered” findings concerning the 2020 election weeks after they conducted mass firings of career intelligence officers? 🙋‍♀️

The only election interference happening in this country is coming straight from the White House, and no amount of pathetic late night rambling from a failing, fading president will change anyone’s mind

Maybe they nailed it 🤷‍♀️ Maybe it would be better for everyone if they just came out and said bluntly “… But he LIED”. Stop saying ‘there’s no evidence’, or ‘the documents don’t support…’. The point is, HE is lying. ALL THE TIME!

😂🤣

"By voting to confirm him, Republicans are putting their stamp of approval on a DOJ that investigates the president’s enemies & treats every Q of law as a question of loyalty. It’s a grotesque perversion of the legal system, & it’s beyond anything Roy Cohn could have imagined." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Another "unprecedented" moment in the Trump 2.0 era A US Attorney General nominee has taken the oath for confirmation hearings at the Senate, 36 hours after a judge referred that nominee to the New York bar for disciplinary review

No argument here 🤷‍♀️

In her testimony to the antisemitism royal commission, Segal couldn’t name a single example of antisemitism in ABC or SBS coverage of Israel, let alone in any local stories. That didn't stop her from attacking the broadcasters and calling for a new regulator.

VC of Syd Uni Mark Scott says he was blindsided by angry Jewish groups after agreeing to review the Uni’s Defence contracts with Israeli weapons manufacturers as part of a deal to end encampments Says they objected to the very idea of spkng to Muslim students🙄 Peak entitlement.

And who would actually know that give the comparative scale of coverage of all of those topics. I say NO-ONE. Pay attention @albomp.bsky.social - you have the power to do something meaningful. #auspol

Seriously. I’m done with prevaricating. Do NOT vote for these lunatics.

WTF?? I particularly do NOT want the fanatical Christians of the world to be in charge of ANYTHING. So, Australia can be entirely agnostic, atheist or just plain a-religious and I will be perfectly happy.

When you talk to the people who actually operate the systems upon which the world runs, you'd be left wondering how any of us are still alive.

Me @bylinetimes.bsky.social on parallels between Australia & UK’s radicalising Right. At ARC they met to boost fossil fuel extraction & their nationalist projects where “race” is replaced by (identitarian) “faith” as the mark of belonging. lucyham29.substack.com/p/byline-tim... #Auspol #ukpolitics

This is definitely a sentiment I can get behind.

Homes evacuated as huge fire rages in Fontainebleau forest near Paris This is coming for us all one day You cannot keep heating up the planet and expect it not to burn Meanwhile Marine Le Pen if elected wants to take down all the solar and wind farms www.thejournal.ie/huge-fire-ra...
