People got really angry at me when I wrote this on Mastodon a few years ago, but it's true: post-consumer plastic recycling is functionally a myth, not just in the U.S. but globally. Odds are vanishingly close to zero that your plastic, faithfully put in the recycling bin, will ever be recycled.

If that's what the Israelis do to foreign nationals with cameras rolling, just imagine the treatment Palestinians receive. Oh wait - we don't need to imagine; we have numerous reports from the UN, NGOs, the NY Times, Palestinians themselves... But Australian media prefers to ignore that evidence.

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

Dear Penny, we asked for this. We sponsored and paid for it and Australia has been condoning Israel's behaviour for your entire political career. #PennyWong #AusPol

Abolition of for profit healthcare, prisons and ICE. Abolition of billionaires and corporate monopolies. Abolition of politicians who have pledged "Zionist loyalty". THAT is the moderate position.

"Parasite blames host"

This is fucking heartbreaking and has called up all my furies.

Does anyone else find themselves wanting to scream, "Get a set of fucking eat buds!" 100 times a day?

Does anyone know any information about air raid sirens over Lithuania? Apparently there's talk of drones.

CODEPINK extends its deepest condolences to the community of the Islamic Center of San Diego, which was attacked by two armed teenagers on Monday.

I have a daughter with Down Syndrome. We are not having to change our finances one bit to deal with any changes to trusts. (Mostly because like 99% of people we don't have a testamentary trust)

A very Ronni piece 👏🫡👏 '...Pauline Hanson is an inveterate liar and a perennial victim who perpetually dodges accountability aided by a circle-jerk media more intent on clicks than democracy.' She's our Tommy Robinson & was doing it way before him. A proud time for us, the duopoly & the system 👍

Two fun stories to view side-by-side: - An Australian psychiatrist is refusing patients that don't agree to the use of an AI scribe - A new Canadian study finding AI scribes have a shockingly high failure rate www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... www.theregister.com/ai-ml/2026/0...

So much astroturfing, so little effort to hide it

Omfg!

A great example of how creating *and enforcing* marine protected areas works! 🌊

…39 percent of Republican men don’t think they can take Donald Trump in a fight, the same 80 year old Donald Trump who is currently crying over a ballroom.

"The timing of these killings is particularly revealing. They occur precisely when ceasefire agreements appear within reach. As one analysis noted, “This suggests a deliberate strategy to derail peace processes and maintain the cycle of violence that serves Israeli political interests.”"

US bombs have been falling on Palestinians for _generations_. US bombs have been falling on the Lebanese for _generations_. US bombs have been falling on Iraqis for _generations_. None of these peoples have ever attacked the US.

Washington Hilton, where Trump will soon be arriving for the White House correspondents’ dinner. End the cover-up.

Let me get this right, yesterday there was an anti immigration rally organised by migrants only they like to call themselves ‘ex pats’ because immigration only works one way. Have I got that right? Sound on 🔊

Brilliant manoeuvre!

The photos and two videos I posted yesterday are described by Rania today; It was the murder of Ash Al-Din Al-Haddad and his family When you understand that Hamas always allows medivacs to leave with wounded soldiers, and Israel sees the wounded as opportunities to kill.. who are the terrorists?

Now is a great time to read (or re-read) From Beirut to Jerusalem (1989) by American journalist Thomas L. Friedman.

I would be grateful if people would repost the attached because I wouldn’t want these tickets to go to waste.

The Zionist Epstein criminal enterprise stole $39 trillion from the American people and is trying to build a transnational criminal empire in "Greater Israel"

This always amazes me. In a very reprehensible way...how these men went from making these statements to complicit enablers. They could have and should have been better.

webp is just the worst thing ever the fact that google made it to replace PNG/JPG/GIF files & it's just worse in every way shows you what they're about also it took them 8 years to make it and it was a high cyber security risk until 2023 and don't get me started on WebP2 as a replacement for AVIF

Brodalisque of Urbino is one of my paintings from my series of dudes in man caves. After introducing this oil painting, I explain the details and why the model is posed like Titian’s Venus of Urbino. #brodalisque #klairelockheart #venusofurbino #OilPainting #contemporaryart

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

Striped cuckoo (Tapera naevia) chicks utilize specialized, cryptic plumage that mimics the texture and color of pinecones for camouflage. #birds

"Data Centers" are nothing more than surveillance centers that also happen to kill the environment. Fight to keep them out of your state.

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.
