Flaccid at best

That Address to Nation could’ve been a text.

Reports suggest police had a close call at 2am as thousands of people drunkenly started belting out Farnham around the state, but luckily it was only You're The Voice. chaser.com.au/general-news...

“The inference that Mr Hedges was being cancelled to make way for the Israeli ambassador is also false and without basis.” Mkay.

Young people are hilarious I just received a 10 minute voice message in two parts wth

Absolute shit being uttered by the Israeli Ambassador at the National Press Club. Disgusting lies and filth. Every journalist there should walk out.

Far less response from western nations to Israel's official racism than to South Africa's in the 1980s. Until there are boycotts and real sanctions, Israel's impunity will continue.

More flagrant than South African apartheid.

National Press Club platforming Israeli ambassador - knowing IDF killed 250+ journalists - for lunch chat. In the same week Israel admits doctoring Lebanese journalist image after murder. Disgraceful & dystopian yet somehow still shamelessly in full view, to be broadcast on ABC

At some point we have to come to terms with the fact that life will give us lemons, and we can’t just “I don’t wanna…” our way out of it. And media has a big role to play in this.

F1 drivers get paid an eyewatering amount of money to be in the public eye and to respond to journalists questions about their work. Verstappen kicking a journo out of a presser for having asked a question months ago he didn't like is a fash move. Very Trump areas. It should be penalised.

Interestingly the link on the web version of this is already dead.

A resident in Tehran films the US and Israel bomb densely populated neighborhoods in Tehran. These are clearly massive munitions with little to no regard for civilian casualties. Indeed, the entire neighborhood is engulfed in fire and smoke. Just as Israel did in Gaza.

This was two weeks ago. I was right.

The gasp I gasped

Whoa

Just checking in to let you know the writers Fest is amazing and I’m surviving on Ritalin and vibes.

Tonight on Spin Cycle we're delighted to welcome Walkley award-winning journalist, social commentator and co-host of We Used to be Journos @janfran.bsky.social. Plus, the first ABC strikes in two decades and much more. On @3rrrfm.bsky.social from 7 with me and @rachelwithers.bsky.social

I am at the ‘do you think anyone will notice if I don’t show up’ stage of the night before the writers festival I’ve been working on for the last six months 🫠

Here’s one for @purplepingers.bsky.social

the capitalists got sick of building houses on prime farming land and now it's data centres where housing should be.

People close to Trump bought $1.5 billion on S&P futures market a few minutes before Trump’s Iran announcement on the weekend, and dumped $580m oil stocks. Insider trading estimated to have made them $60m in 15 minutes.

Imagine if they tried to do something like this in Northcote, the same distance from the city. But it’s the west.

It’s giving Porpoise Spit

Daily reminder that Arab lives don’t matter

Never forget.

It enrages me that the Iran fiasco had basically relegated Israel’s absolutely horrific assault on Lebanon to a sideshow which barely gets noticed. That alone should be a crisis that grips the urgent attention of the entire world and nobody even notices.

ADHD is clearing my diary on the afternoon of Monday 23rd of March for a series of meetings that are taking place on Tuesday 31st of March.

If Hanson is now the leader of the opposition, as some media suggests, I hope that same media is about to go hard on her on policies, voting record, vision, candidates and everything else they haven’t seemed interested in reporting about ON, or holding her responsible for, up to now.

shameful shit.

Betoota doesn't miss

“NSW land registry records seen by Deepcut reveal Bullock settled a property in the beach town of Yamba for $2,050,000 on March 17 – the day Bullock hit Australians with a second consecutive 0.25% rate rise.” You can’t make it up.

The best time to have invested in renewables, walkable cities and transit to avoid the oil crisis shock was twenty years ago. The second best time is today.

This isn’t 2020 as we can’t just turn the global economy off and then on like what happened with Covid - the level of capital destruction that is happening at the moment means there is no switch to turn back on. 2020 doesn’t apply here. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

We must lift the US oil blockade on Cuba. This is economic warfare designed to suffocate an island. Food is spoiling. Water supply is compromised. Healthcare services are disrupted. End the blockade now. Grateful to all those helping deliver humanitarian aid!

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

It is truly insane how one day your iPhone battery goes from lasting for two days to barely making it through the morning. Like how the fack can I override this inbuilt battery draining feature?

I wish I knew what to say about the invasion of Lebanon. Just the deepest feeling of shame and horror.

Putting the ‘J’ into JOY FM to promote Footscray West Writers Fest. Still tickets to plenty of amazing events at FWWF.com.au

Read this if you need a laugh.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Emma Rowe, associate professor in education Deakin University, says this largely the consequence of govts not meeting funding targets for public schools over a long period of time, while simultaneously funnelling large amounts of money to private schools

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

I am so blown away by this article and how no one involved seems to comprehend that the simple solution here is TO NOT USE SOMETHING THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP AS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF JOURNALISM www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

There's always one that doesn't fall far from the tree.

What a bore this guy is my god.
