@albomp.bsky.social we, the people, understand that Australia has a diplomatic fine line to tread, especially with allies, but when those allies align themselves with unethical immoral actions by nations lead by greedy, sociopathic, maniacal, egomaniacs we have an obligation to loudly protest.

So you’re telling me a peaceful protest against genocide triggered a man who slipped through an ASIO watch list with links to ISIS who was allowed to own 6 guns in the Premier’s state to commit murder. Sounds legit

Shocking to blame Gaza protesters (which include his own MPs), but even more disturbing is the rationale for protest repression. It isn’t about risk at the event. It’s that expressing contentious political views might vaguely undermine community harmony. The problem is political expression itself.

Jim Chalmers has done a good job of managing the small stuff but Australians need a treasurer thinking much bigger than “what would Sussan Ley say about that?” Our preoccupation with the size of the deficit has blinded us to the huge opportunities we face www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate. Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.

I remember a nurse saying that a baby with whooping cough was the most terrible sound she ever heard. I think about that a lot lately, because a lot more people are going to learn what it sounds like.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Holy CRAP. Retired engineer takes random pics of *kids*, without consent or attribution, bins them into “autistic” or “not autistic”, and uploads that “data” for free on Kaggle. Well over a HUNDRED papers are published, 38 in Springer Nature, 25 in IEEE, using it. And no reviewers objected? WTF.🧪

Lots of people aren’t ’digital first’: elderly, many people with disabilities, CALD communities. I love using online services, but I believe policy should meet communities where they’re at, not just serve a mainly rich white demographic. Gvt payment platform should always accept all legal tender

If the NSW authorities want to figure out who is promoting antisemitism they should start by looking in their own backyard. Vile.

"The scale of destruction is staggering. According to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), approximately 198,273 structures across Gaza have been damaged, with 123,464 completely destroyed. The telecommunications sector has been particularly hard hit."

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Yes, anti-Semitism needs to be addressed, and the first place to look for it is among the so-called "Christian" right. For proof, have a look at this drivel: archive.md/bN3Q7 (archived so as not to give the original source traffic).
