Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons. We’ll see what happens!

POLL: How much would you be willing to pay per month for a version of Facebook that had no ads, respected your privacy, didn't sell your data, and wasn't designed to steal all of your time and attention by addicting you to the "infinite scroll"? 1/4 #SocialMedia #SocialNetworking #Facebook

Remember when you could buy 3D TVs? They were the future of home cinema. I feel like the novelty of a lot of generative AI will go the same way. It’s fun now, but people will get sick of it all pretty quickly. When anything is possible with no effort, it will get boring. #AI

What need is being met by generative AI? Marketing is supposed to be about identifying and satisfying needs, but I’m pretty sure nobody has ever said, “What we really need is a system that can quickly and easily generate a realistic video of Stephen Hawking surfing.” #AI #Sloptastic

The Government want to build 300,000 homes a year. Many people say that is impossible. But in the late 1940's and all through the 1950's they built more than 500,000 Council Houses in most years. How? Because there were no private developers, the Government did it.

Goodness gracious they are more than incompetent, they are, like… negatively competent. Like, they actually suck the competence out of the atmosphere around them and make everyone dumber around them.

Amy Remeikis: "It’s about moral clarity. You can’t be ‘objective’ about fascism. You can’t be ‘objective’ about genocide... You can’t be ‘objective’ about the climate crisis. You can tell the truth." #auspol #journalism

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

What a deal. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Here's the anti-Democracy dipshits.

AWS is down, you say...?

Israel: we need to get the dead bodies out Hamas: we need equipment to dig people out from under buildings Israel: ok, we are going to keep bombing Also Israel: why can’t you get bodies out

I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

I saw a young girl holding one that read: “Tomorrow there will be more of us.”

There should be a march to Johnson’s home. People should camp outside until she is sworn in. Make his life fucking miserable.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

The point of politics isn't to just stay there, guys ... #auspol

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

So - let me get this straight… They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work What? #4corners #auspol

Will this be like the federal ICAC that does absolutely nothing? #auspol

So I guess all the MAGA / Q-Anon folks have stopped accusing every liberal they don’t like of “being in the Epstein files” and “flying on the Epstein plane” and “visiting Epstein’s island” now, yeah? Funny, that…

Greta Thunberg and another 170 detainees have apparently been deported from Israel. It will be interesting to hear Greta's first-hand account of how she and the other detainees were treated. www.bbc.com/news/live/cj...

Do have to wonder what Hamas thought they possibly had to gain by holding onto hostages for this long. (Assuming any of them are still alive.)

They know who Greta is, how high her profile is, and that their treatment of her will make the news worldwide… and they don’t care. Because they know nothing will be done about it. Just like nothing is being done about their genocide in Gaza.

Sean Combs has just been sentenced to four years and two months in prison. Your turn, Epstein rapists. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

In Paris, porcelain plates inside 18 meter pool filled with water create random sound symphony without human interference..pretty cool 😎

Why isn't this idiot sanctioned by the Senate for this dangerous nonsense?

Oh look it’s yet another government “housing affordability” scheme that does nothing but drive up prices for everyone: “The expansion of first-home buyer incentives is adding to demand at the lower end of the market, which is already under the greatest supply pressure.”

"An FBI statement in July said the move aligned New Zealand with FBI missions in other Five Eyes intelligence-sharing nations, which also include... Australia..." First I've heard of the FBI having staff in Australia...? #auspol

No, it never helps. They don't want an olive branch, they want obedience

International artists: it's time. Boycott US tours and shows. We're a fully committed collaborator to Genocide, and we deserve our pariah status. Don't let international law down. --A US artist

Movie studios have threatened to sue individuals for privately torrenting movies. Pirating music and videos can potentially get you a JAIL term. Yet the likes of Meta and OpenAI can steal LITERALLY EVERYTHING, planning to make money from it, and the response ranges from crickets to mild grumbling.

Ha @albomp.bsky.social claims Labor was reelected because it offered hope. Weren't our hopes dashed! - Dud NACC doing jack. - Giant Woodside gas project approved. - Zionists captured govt. - Gambling reform off the table. - Bugger all on #DV. - Asylum seekers demonised. - Still stuck with AUKUS.

Cost blowout? Who could possibly have foreseen that!

Problem #3: A big chunk of queries aren't being intentionally requested by people. So what use is this 'intensity' information, if Google is the one trying to aggressively maximise queries and fabricate demand anyway? Check out the recent paper on this: limitesnumeriques.fr/travaux-prod...

This is how broken our lobbying laws are. Every resources minister since 2001 went on to work for fossil fuel companies & 8 ex-ministers & senior advisers now lobby for gambling💰 It's time for complete reform of lobbying rules + independent watchdog. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Politicians taking a 'head in the sand' approach to climate change is bad enough. Undertaking a detailed national climate risk assessment and withholding it from the public is malicious on an even higher level. This is a crisis. Not something to be politically managed. www.afr.com/policy/energ...

Oh FFS… You know where most of the renewable energy projects are being built? On farms. Owned by farmers. Who are happy to have these projects on their land. But yes, let’s characterise the opposition as being from “farmers”. #auspol #ClimateChange

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

The government is a reflection of its electorate 👇🏼

Everyone has the right to a home; nobody is entitled to be a landlord. There are many places for people to invest their money, it doesn’t NEED to be in housing. Change the rules, and people - including politicians - who don’t like it can simply move their money elsewhere.

So I guess all the MAGA / Q-Anon folks have stopped accusing every liberal they don’t like of “being in the Epstein files” and “flying on the Epstein plane” and “visiting Epstein’s island” now, yeah? Funny, that…
