Utterly stupid idea to ban phrases. Are we going to keep banning words until none are left? Do they think protestors have never seen a thesaurus?

Even on here, I’ve noticed a distinct shift from people outside the country that’s essentially, “This isn’t funny anymore, fix your shit America.” I just wonder if our congressional invertebrates are feeling that at all.

Today’s comic in @australia.theguardian.com It’s only mid January and we’ve had destructive cyclones, deadly heatwaves, bushfires followed by flash floods and the cherry on top, a coal approval!

We want Water bombers not warmongering with submarines #auspol

“The [US] national security strategy is very openly saying that it’s going to interfere in the domestic politics of its allies in order to support rightwing parties - that should have pretty serious implications for Australian policy and the Australian approach to the alliance,”

Imagine a political ideology so evil, so despised, so racist and murderous, so globally unpopular - but also so entrenched in Western establishment depravity - that your government (with the opposition), would seek to make criticism and protest of it illegal. Imagine that.

In a new development; Trump has said he absolutely must have Queensland and will take it from Australians by force if necessary. [probably 😉]

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

You can’t say bigoted things, but your religious text can say bigoted things and you can say the religious text out loud. No more special rules for religion and religious people, they’ve proven they don’t respect that privilege. I suggest we cease electing religious people to represent us too.

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would force social media platforms to filter and suppress content that the Trump admin is willing to argue makes kids "depressed" or "anxious." Videos of ICE murdering people make me pretty depressed and anxious, and I'm a grown ass adult. See where this is going?

One thing about Australian politicians; they only seem to recover honest, direct voices, after they leave office.

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

It's pretty sad that back in 2007, I was at one of those "let's get all the smart arse dickheads to analyse some shit" forums, and it was close to consensus that required climate change action won't happen until large firms can no longer insure, which removes their ability to access credit markets

Oh oh. Looks like BlueSky is now demanding age assurances.

BREAKING: New video captures the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Homeland Security claimed a woman was shot dead by ICE after trying to run over officers during an operation.

Another angle of the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was shot and killed.

ICE Goon who shot that innocent American! Warning: this video shows shooting. #minnesota

What is our future if untouchable gangster states can storm into neighbouring countries, kill innocents, kidnap the President and steal that countrys wealth. The Trump dystopian hellscape being rolled out by violent world leaders A special”Truth Lies&Media” just dropped! Promo Match Frame Editing

ChatGPT can sometimes be like a toddler; speaking an obvious fact without care or consequence.

That the President of Venezuela needs to be kidnapped and tried in the US on drug trafficking charges, while the former president of Honduras gets pardoned for exactly the same thing blows ANY hint of credibility in this shameless scam of an operation.

All you need to know in one sentence… “Donald Trump has said the US would indefinitely “run the country” after Maduro’s removal and would seize Venezuela’s massive oil reserves.”

#AgeAssurance has blocked Australian dash cam videos! You can only watch near misses if you give Google your phone number and all my older accounts are now locked out pending supply of a phone number too.

#CancelAUKUS We can’t hand sovereignty to the US. Their military is currently bombing Venezuela, threatening Iran, murdering people in boats and doing nothing about Russia. These are not actions we can subscribe to, let alone assist with. @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

I'm seriously starting to question the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

every reporter who covers AI should paste their latest piece into it and ask it to tell them if it’s good, and then when it offers obsequious praise, change the prompt to “tear it to shreds,” in order to understand on a personal level that it has no viewpoint and just responds to the prompt

We should have a Royal Commission into the failure of previous Royal Commissions.

I wonder if ASIO investigates the foreign interference in our country by assumed allies and friends. I wonder if the AFP has ever bothered to investigate dual citizens and IDF members for war crimes. I wonder why *not* either of those things…. And why this is kept hidden from Australian citizens.

19 years old and more pertinent than ever…

The shift to subscription services is starting to rankle.

The largest population problem our climate has, is the explosion in the billionaire population.

"Government policies have allowed and encouraged people buying big harmful cars." The persistence of those policies is yet another reason the Australian government cannot be taken seriously on climate and environment. #auspol thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Donor ‘reforms’ legislated by @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt, with enthusiastic support of LNP have done nothing to improve democracy. ALL donations to parties should be restricted to registered voters only. Corporate & business donations should be prohibited #auspol

What is the actual point of democracy if a corporate donation carries infinitely more value than your vote? Time to address the chronic donation-induced corruption of our election process…before Australia arrives at the same sorry state as American politics. Make votes count, not 💰💰💰💰💰 #auspol 👇

The NACC has defied the odds by going back-to-back 🏆🏆 After another year of doing absolutely nothing, congratulations on retaining Stranger’s Useless Govt Agency Award. Consistency is key 👍

SBS told us last week how there are lawyers tracking over a dozen Aussies serving in the IDF & preparing criminal complaints. What we are not hearing are the huge donations & support from communities in Aus. Want to reduce the target? Start there with those massive elephants the room. #AusPol

The reason so many billionaires want to go to space is because guillotines need gravity to function. 😉

Gas is climate poison. Anyone lobbying for anything other than the fastest possible wind down of extraction is facilitating the destruction of the living world. If people are struggling to pay their energy bills that’s a wealth distribution problem not a not enough gas problem. Watch your framing.

This is the guy who Albo has invited to visit Australia “as soon as possible”.
