Good morning everyone

Weak, yep!!!

Unions in Italy have launched a one-day strike to protest Israel's war on Gaza. Thousands of workers are demonstrating in the general strike that's brought schools, transit and ports to a halt.

When you're watching The People vs Robodebt tonight, remember that this is not simply history - Labor is hunting welfare recipients for dodgy debts to this day. And more than two years on from the Royal Commission, they've failed to implement key recommendations to prevent harm.

Hastie is the next-in-line, post-Howard, cut-out, wannbe empty suit with nothing original or worthwhile to offer. He'll be carried aloft by the rightwing media and presented as THE GOLDEN ONE for as long as they can maintain the illusion. The party death he is worried about ⬇️ has already happened.

The Jenolan Caves near the Blue Mountains west of Sydney are truly a marvel. The road in, as Mr McCartney knows, is long and winding. Caves House is special too. At 340 million years old, this is the oldest dated cave system in the world. Protect. Enjoy. Preserve. 🇦🇺 🐨

"Australia will not hit the targets of 62-70 per cent reduction by 2035 and net zero by 2050 because the logistics of doing so require new forests the size of half of Victoria to be grown in 10 years, followed by further forests the size of two Tasmanias" Alan Kohler.

Thank you. MacKenzie Scott donated $70M to UNCF, aiding 37 HBCUs. Part of her $1B campaign for long-term HBCU stability, this is among her largest gifts. Since 2019, she’s donated over $19B and remains committed to giving away her wealth through The Giving Pledge. news.yahoo.com/news/article...

I'm sure I'm the eleventy millionth person to point this out but if the Rapture lifts all the hardcore evangelicals up to heaven and they're totally happy about it while the rest of us just get to stay down here and carry on without them it's a win-win situation. #GoTheRapture

From today, Australians with student debt will see up to $50 a fortnight extra in their take-home pay. Labor is slashing student debt to ease pressure on young people and we're making repayments fairer to help with the cost of living. #auspol #ausecon

Reminder Whenever you go into the forest, always be aware of this gift of nature. Fill your lungs with clean and oxygenated air, feel life. Give back what you receive with respect and kindness, protect one of the pillars of our survival.💚🌱🌿☘️🌲🌳🍀💚

The gap between ICE’s story and Franklin Park body cam footage is alarming. A man is dead, shot and killed by federal agents—and the public deserves the truth. Just like at the Broadview detention center, we need answers, accountability, and transparency. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

A special election in Arizona on Tuesday is expected to deliver the decisive signature to the push for a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein case files. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Tolerating racism IS racism. 💁🏽‍♀️

Effortlessly done in under 20 minutes: Zoe & Morgan✅ Lord of the Rings✅ Jon Stewart NZ endorsement✅ Whittaker’s✅ Hope & leadership✅ Nuanced answers to complex issues✅ Watching this and reflecting how much of an utter disaster this would have been with anyone officially representing New Zealand now.

Obviously, Lara Trump does not buy gas, groceries or pain energy bills! 🙄

🚨NOW 428 DAYS since our nuclear test veterans - national heroes in their eighties - requested a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss how he will honour the commitment Labour made to their campaign for justice and compensation in opposition youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...

Hundreds of people will today wake up in their stately homes, their mansions, or their luxury yachts. All paid for via #CovidContracts Thousands won't wake up because they died as a result of corruption and incompetence, thanks to #CovidContracts Please repost www.itv.com/watch/the-co...

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

In today’s DOJ, accepting bribes is no longer a crime — if you’re on the right team. It's no wonder they gutted the Public Integrity Section. We need vigorous congressional oversight now more than ever, as we told @notus.com

His approval rating shouldn’t even be at 37%. It should be in the negatives.

Totally forgot about this one. Not absorbing things, like I used to 😫

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.

The most important aspect of this Tylenol debacle, is that the President raped children.

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

I hadn't heard of The Rapture until I saw that episode of Six Feet Under where a lot of helium-filled blow up sex dolls escape from the net they're being transported in float upwards en mass, causing an Evangelical woman, who was looking up joyfully instead of watching the traffic, get hit by a car.

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

Singtel says company is not underfunded These appalling events, exploitation of the vulnerable and deaths from stuff ups, aren’t due to lack of funds then That leaves incompetence, mismanagement, bad behaviour as possible explanations Not mutually exclusive possibilities Heads rolling yet?

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Stuff reporters, you don’t need to use “characterises” and “suggests” framing here when the Greens advice is demonstrably true: Women are more likely to be engaged in part-time or casual employment - this means they will bear the brunt of the sick pay changes. It’s not a suggestion, it’s a fact.

If you’re wondering how batshit bananas he has to be to claim, without any evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, let’s not forget his other proclamations: “Windmills cause cancer” “Injecting bleach cures Covid” “UV light cures Covid” “Summer cures Covid” “Covid will get bored and go away”

We are relieved that plans to demolish the 19thC Walk Mills in Keighley + replace it with 12 modern industrial buildings have been withdrawn. The Victorian Society, Historic Buildings & Places, West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service & others objected. bit.ly/4mt6Qva 📷Local Democracy Service

Excellent! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Are these two idiots still standing on that escalator at the UN? They're both too stupid to realize that an escalator that isn't moving is also known a staircase.

Jimmy Kimmel Live won’t air in several states as Nexstar joins Sinclair boycott. More action needed by the public.

Going live for our first official campaign stream in an hour with @franifio.bsky.social and a very drugged-up Heater. Join on YouTube or Twitch!

So now we have Canadian doctors going on TV like “It’s OK to take Tylenol” Because of nonsense beaming up from the United States. Just just can’t anymore

I am saddened to hear about the death of Dickie Bird, one of the country’s finest and most celebrated cricket umpires. A proud Yorkshireman as well as a great cricketer and role model for the sport - I offer my condolences to his friends and family.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

Been writing all day and only just surfaced to catch up on news. It’s just so draining, isn’t it? The sheer “Oh God, what now?”of it all.

In physics, we like to talk about standing on the shoulders of giants. Sometimes the giants are in the room with us, and sometimes they even come from round here. A great week for local legend Roy Kerr, who got to see his eponymous solution tested and confirmed 60 years on...

Did you know that without trees we would hardly be able to breathe due to air pollution, traffic exhaust, heat and industrial fumes? Our air would be completely polluted. The forests and trees clean our air and filter out particles that are harmful to us.💚☘️🌱🌿🌲🌳🍀💚
