Sarah Schwartz currently giving powerful evidence to the Royal Commission about the repugnant abuse directed at her and other progressive Jews by the pro- Israel fanatics in the Australian Jewish community.

This is a truly bizarre story, is it AI gone mad? algorithm gone mad? Chinese psyops gone mad? "Now we’re getting AI fake news complaining about how AI fake news is the death of real news" www.niemanlab.org/2026/07/now-...

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

6 months paid parental leave is fkn amazing

More great reporting from Daniel Hurst and Crikey: www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/01/i...

"It feels that this ceasefire agreement is the biggest lie that has been told to the whole world" Maram, a student in Gaza, speaking to Hind Khoudary

Holy cult. “The last straw came when her boss created … “The Bible” — a constantly-changing handbook, hundreds of pages in length, that employees were asked to study like a holy text. “The goal of this ‘Bible’ was so that employees would never have to ask a human being anything.””

Today has been a great rainy day to bunk off. Fire in the fireplace and two penalty shoot outs!

Why are people watching podcasts? Why did the audio form have to become a visual one? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

This narrative during Pride month was absolutely intentional. The corporate media is fully in for fascism and desperate for you to agree.

There’s a sociopath in the White House doing real damage and this is where they think their fight is. They see more in common with the quacks ‘across the aisle’ than with people doing good in their own party.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Last week Pauline Hanson wanted to ‘bring back Paul Hogan’ as an example of what her successful Australian monoculture might look like. Hogan’s having none of it: “She’s a pelican, yeah. Outrageous, so racist. It sounds very much like this stupid boofhead over here, Trump.” 👏👏👏

The far right, including One Nation, are outsourcing their Islamophobia content to Indonesia. Which is so wildly cooked on every level. They are importing hate and the platforms that profit from it to be held to account.

Caught up with this episode on @3rrrfm.bsky.social on demand and can confirm it’s an absolute ripper👍🏼

Outstanding #3RRR #SpinCycle 25/6. Hosts @jessielilley.bsky.social @theshufflediary.bsky.social & @rachelwithers.bsky.social discuss #KarlStefanovic. Stellar convo w. @edcoper.bsky.social on #SocialMedia and his new book "Angertainment". #auspol #BookSky Listen here: www.rrr.org.au/player-items...

I wrote about my Paraguay connection in light of today’s Socceroos game. It involves the labour movement, utopian societies and my grandparents.

A libellous sham or a monstrous truth that the worst of humanity rush to deny. A cartoon... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is a sick society.

Tonight on Spin Cycle on @3rrrfm.bsky.social we’ll be chatting with @edcoper.bsky.social about his new book Angertainment. Plus we’re putting bets on how long before Karl joins Russel and Pete in a conservative grift boy band. With @rachelwithers.bsky.social and @theshufflediary.bsky.social from 7pm

40 mayors worldwide unite to fight back against the AI data centre surge www.euronews.com/next/2026/06...

A spokesman for The Today Show said the interview with Tommy Robinson was a clear breach of Karl's contract, because normalising racists is what he's supposed to be doing on the Today Show. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

'Accuses.'

Two powerful earthquakes, magnitude 7.1 and 7.5, struck west of the Venezuela capital Caracas, causing widespread devastation. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez declared a state of emergency. Experts warn the death toll could be in the thousands.

It's absolutely absurd, btw, that it fell to a group of private citizens relying on public donations to scrutinise the most expensive defence acquisition in the nation's history. You'd think this is something our elected representatives wd do.

I typed ‘buy nangs’ into Google. I think they know what they’re selling them for.

"Political operatives are trying to intimidate me. It's not going to work". Fucking brilliant stuff by @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/political-...

Bye, Karl.

Overnight, the United Nations has released another report confirming that Israel continues to commit genocide in Gaza. Read our full statement calling for Australia to impose country-level sanctions on Israel at: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/06/jewi...

God I love girl talk. I was buying something and the girl serving me commented on my earrings and the girl talk floodgates opened for 5 minutes and then we were done. The best.

Honestly wild how insane this pool cleaning situation has become. The guy is such a loose unit, incapable of achieving anything. Imagine a woman did all the things this sociopath seems to roll with.

Process the fact that—as of yesterday—if a tourist so much as dips a finger in the Reflecting Pool Trump ruined they get detained for an hour by multiple federal agencies This is the police state Republicans hysterically warned of for decades, and now that it's here they love it

Israel deliberately targeted Palestinian children in its genocide. That’s the findings of a latest UN commission. Remember: if you oppose this abomination, you’re treated as a dangerous, hateful extremist

🚨On Monday July 27 at 2pm AEST, every phone in Australia will get very loud. 🚨 If you are vulnerable, with a phone as part of your escape plan, please make sure that you take steps to protect yourself. If you aren't vulnerable, please help get the word out to protect those who are.

Remember Barclay McGain and his extreme Christian takeover of the “young LNP” in Queensland?

So far One Nation has promised to: -Freeze wages & cut conditions to help bosses. -End maternity/parent leave -Abolish qualified childcare -Force girls & women to give birth - Add $225 billion to defence spend -Repeal gun laws -Subsidise new coal & nuclear plants -Take Malcolm Roberts seriously.

The weird thing people aren’t really talking about with the #NDIS cuts is the economic benefits of social and community participation funding - all the day programs (admittedly an outdated model), individual support workers, etc. What will the sector employment impact be? #Auspol

Here is my big news myself and 9 others have made a complaint to the UN that the Australian government is not doing enough to protect citizens from climate change www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Can someone explain why one piece of fruit in the fruit bowl will go extremely rotten but the rest are totally fine?

Starmer being able to lay out his own departure timetable (potentially over months!) is silly. You don't give a PM a farewell tour, you do the numbers over the weekend, roll him at 10am, and tell the voters he's gone to live on a nice farm in the country. You amateurs. You absolute toddlers.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer announces he will stand down as PM after days of intense pressure from Labour MPs, kicking off process of UK installing 7th leader in decade.

Some of Keir Starmer's closest allies now on the street - David Lammy, Richard Hermer, Jenny Chapman, Darren Jones - PM's closest ministerial allies - along with top aides Ben Nunn, Chris Ward, Jill Cuthbertson & others.

Eeeeeep

When Colleen stood for Macnamara she likened climate warnings to ‘child abuse’ and was very casual with her transphobia. So this tracks.

Absolutely not.

Just in case anyone is unsure why fewer women work than men... and whether childcare is important. live.thepoint.com.au

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

A blue whale surface feeding! Seeing this giant turn onto its side on the water's surface, its immense mouth agape, is simply breathtaking. This technique requires considerable physical effort: with its gigantic mouth, the blue whale takes in a volume of water equal to its own weight of 90 tonnes
