"The Australian Government has made a decision to no longer publish data about COVID-19 cases in Australian residential aged care facilities on a weekly basis." @healthgovau.bsky.social @markbutlermp.bsky.social

Sensible thinking roughly half the world will ignore. If a thing is inconvenient even slightly, there's a huge amount of people who will be against it. If that weren't true, "unplanned pregnancy" levels would be a fraction of what they are. #CovidIsntOver www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Not a psychologist, teacher, or, for that matter university student. But I think this is happening because the facade of normal daily life during all this is starting to get too heavy to hold up.

The group most arrested at the Palestine Action protest over the weekend was aged 60-69.

#MaskUp 😷

Happy Friday, COVID-safe friends. New research published this week shows that COVID wakes up dormant breast cancer cells. Wear the damn mask..

"when Albanese says Australia will make its own decisions, that comes with the big caveat that our decisions are unlikely to be ones that upset Trump, because #AUKUS has given him huge leverage over us" The PM stalls on Palestine, because he's sold our sovereignty. www.crikey.com.au/2025/08/01/a...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

We are live with our billboard! This week's message: "I am immunocompromised and was exposed to visibly sick staff in hospital. Everyone deserves safe access to healthcare." Thank you to those who have submitted their stories so far, please keep them coming! 1/2

A collection of shivers looking for a spine to run up.

A petition to not join in on the war- www.getup.org.au/campaigns/co... #auspol

Albanese must immediately clarify whether Pine Gap supplied information to the US prior to their attack on Iran. We cannot be dragged into another US war.

it's bloody embarrassing to watch Australia take its usual place and assume the position for another one of America's shitty foreign policy disasters #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Labor has really turned Australia into the pathetic little lapdogs of genocidal maniacs. This is horrifying news and we should be ashamed.

Come on!!!! These are fucking PROUD BOYS, OATH KEEPERS, or 3PERCENTERS!!!! They are NOT actual cops, police, government officials!!!! We are in HUGE trouble AMERICA!!!! Wake the fuck up!!!!

Sorry…who was it that took action to destabilise the region?

Australia must not accept gaslighting from the US via Israel regarding nuclear weapon development in Iran Netanyahu has claimed Iran is ‘weeks away from having nuclear weapons’ since 1991. This is his schtick Trump is using this for domestic political purposes Australia must break the alliance

Never thought #Albo would be such a "pick me" but here we are I don't think it'll be long until we resurrect the #NoWar Marches of 2003. I hoped we'd never have to do that again. #auspol

Today’s ALP would 💯 have voted to go to war in Iraq www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is the same Penny Wong who opposed marriage equality during the Gillard era? Not surprised at her latest back flip. Marles, Wong and Albo are doing the classic dweeb routine waiting to see what the school yard bully does. It is genuinely pathetic.

Penny Wong 2003: "If we want to know about Australian government policy on Iraq, we need only to listen to the person who writes it, President Bush"

Take note.

Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

The imputation is that Israel is a special child with the God-given right to attack other nations and kill but #Iran has no right to self-defence, eh, Penny? That what you’re going with? Israel *attacked* Iran. Netanyahu has no credible self-defence claim. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Many are asking why bird flu has suddenly disappeared from the headlines. The truth is, it hasn’t gone anywhere. According to my CDC sources, H5N1 is spreading especially among symptomatic farm workers.

The incredibly brave people aboard the Freedom Flotilla are facing violent assault by the Israeli military for the “crime” of bringing food and medicine to the people in Gaza. Their bravery spotlights Israeli war crimes for the world to see - all eyes on the Madleen.

New #SARSCoV2🦠 strain arrives in the UK The pandemic isn’t over, never has been. #COVID19 https://apple.news/AXo18zv4KTBO1xjvjz77iRw

The Cruelty ls The Point! You Would Have To Be An Awful Person To Support Such Policies..

That’s got to be a bot farm. No way. #Eurovision

Israel winning on the night it launches its new ground offensive in Gaza would have killed the contest. We can't keep doing this, they need to be kicked out #Eurovision

Good guys Belgium and Spain put up captions stating their views on Israel after #eurovision

The lies and omissions surrounding SARS-CoV-2/COVID are to get you back to the office, on planes, and in restaurants—making you not think twice about getting or spreading a dangerous virus. Zero consideration or care is given for your long term health or that of others. #CovidIsntOver #WearAnN95

Personally, @senatorwong.bsky.social, I would not describe being starved to death by Israel as "difficult" for the people of Gaza. This is a war crime. Any "leader" worth their salt would say so, loud and clear. #auspol #StopIsrael #FuckZionism #EndTheGenocide #EndTheApartheid #FreePalestine

The air is poisoned. The oceans are collapsing. The virus never left. But go ahead—post your smoothie bowl and pretend that’s wellness.

What's the difference between Dutton and a toilet? A toilet has a seat. #auspol

Incredible satellite image of the 33 (!!!!) operational fossil fuel combustion engines at the site of Elon Musk's XAI data centre “appalling that xAI would operate more than 30 methane gas turbines without any permits or any public oversight" @selc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

‘Australia’s construction worker shortage – & prospects for affordable housing – would worsen if Dutton scraps Labor’s free Tafe program’ Who didn’t see that coming? The coalition hve decimated TAFE, apprenticeships & housing before. They’d do it again. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Books are worthless which is why Meta needed to steal more than 7 million of them

Vaccines are not a substitute for N95's. They're one imperfect layer of a comprehensive strategy. Our vaccines don't prevent infection, transmission, or Long COVID, and the protection they do provide wanes rapidly with time. They're an airbag at best - not a pass to 2019.

Very disappointing article from @crikey.com.au   regarding #covid - the lack of reflection in their comments that we're post-covid reeks of the denialism that they speak of in relation to the Spanish Flu and the gov's failure to mention it during the election campaign period. #CovidIsNotOver

It’s the post-AIDS era everyone! Ditch the safe sex. Ditch the condoms. Ditch the PEP and PrEP. Time to live your life! s/

I see unmasked pregnant women go places, crowded, unventilated places. Actually, I see all sorts of people, pregnant or not, going places, unventilated places. The air we all breathe is breathed in and out by many. There are pathogens in the air (airborne pathogens). Sars2 is airborne. Respirators.

Repeated infections before you've even recovered = progressive immune damage. That's why it's taken 3 years for TB to explode. Frankly, this is exactly what @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social was forwarning. The #Leonardi_Effect is everything we were both suggesting 🚨😬
