I ran away to some kind of general store, and Felix says "It's so fucken broken that halflings get +15 damage with daggers and other small weapons. You're telling me you can fuck someone up with a screwdriver just because you sit around and smoke weed in a hobbit hole? Fuck off!"

*screaming, singing* AI AI AAAAAAAAAAA

"We cannot accept more mediocrity like the stage three tax cut changes... I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach, knowing that help still wasn’t coming for people like me. Meanwhile those on the highest incomes were given a tax cut worth thousands of dollars a year."

"In recent years we’ve seen poverty increase from 1 in 8 people to 1 in 7. Homelessness and housing stress are rising. Increase welfare payments. Invest in public education and healthcare. Build public homes. Abolish the CGT discount." New from @artistaffame.bsky.social for @thepointau.bsky.social

People have no shame in supporting genocide. Then they cry when we mention guillotines.

Going out of your way to single out 'pro-trump aussie tradies' over petrol prices when our Labor government has blatantly spent these two terms polishing the US's boots at every opportunity is imo a choice, and a boring and incredibly inadequate one at that.

just remember how insanely fast nature rebounded when everyone stopped rolling coal for 10 minutes in the early pandemic

Istg if the US invades and occupies Iran for a decade and some of y'all switch from opposing an obviously, unjust war to "we broke it, we bought it" or "we have to finish the mission" when the Democratic president tries to pull out Istg I will haunt you

This feel like a nuke threat to anyone else?

“‘Americans do not consent to biometric data collection simply by walking down a public street, entering a café, or standing in a crowd,’ the senators told Zuckerberg. Yet, the deployment of this technology would appear to do exactly that…”

The people who seriously considered that the military might meaningfully turn on Trump, are the same people who are so astonished that the USA could enter into such an incompetent war campaign. (This, already after 2022 Ukraine!) And that's how you know they're all hooked up into the same sauces.

Profiting from human need is morally reprehensible

Every day the United States carries out a new 9/11 style terror attack (meaning - striking a residential building using explosive ordinance with the intent of collapsing on hundreds of civilians) on some Muslim nation or another and neither the world nor US citizens seem to care.

Beneath my skin there are Hamas tunnels they call them veins

"Wasteful government spending" seems to be this fixture of western political discourse that's just always assumed to exist a priori, with no need to prove that it exists before committing to reducing it. You just name an amount of wasteful spending ahead of time and go "I will cut this"

Anglos will write endless tracts on the horrors of the glorious noble trenches and then shrug and explain the political necessity of their governments bringing to bear the most untold amount of ordinance seen in centuries down on the least powerful peoples in the world. Fucking dire.

"Allegra Spender launched a plan for CGT changes to fund income tax cuts that would do little to make up for degraded public services and unbearable living costs." @artistaffame.bsky.social The Teals also support compulsory income management, which is a violation of human rights.

wah wah wah my commander in chief does not consider the strategic implications of this war I DONT RECALL YOU WHINING THUS MUCH ABOUT THE GENOCIDE PROLOGUES THO

“The United Arab Emirates is, by far, Australia’s biggest weapons export market, with nearly $300m in arms and ammunition being shipped there in the past five years.” “The UN figures also suggest Australia has been the UAE’s fourth-largest supplier of weapons over that same five-year period” 🫩

There's always money for war, but governments never seem to have enough for pensioners, people with disabilities, uni students and others who rely on income support payments to survive. Why is that?

Israel is levelling down entire buildings in central Beirut

You will live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.

Many might ask why the fuck Australia has a military base in the Middle East 🤷

Maybe in 2050 right after the world hits 2C warming and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapses you can finally elect enough "progressive" Dems to do something about climate change 🤪

amerikkkans are only capable of politics about themselves. "well i was fine in the US during the aids epidemic and i can imagine myself being put in a camp in cuba therefore cuba is evil and the US did great". considering another human being would cause a crisis so bad it would rip them in half

imagine getting fisted with this thing

The BC Teachers Federation, the province wide labour union representing over 40,000 teachers, has just passed a resolution in support of BDS! The first province-wide motion to support BDS in solidarity with Palestine!!

remember when those billionaires killed themselves in the ocean? good times

Israel doesn’t control the us outright and the us doesn’t control Israel outright but the agendas and intelligence on each side absolutely influences the decisions the other makes and I don’t think this should be controversial

The #Australian and #USA war machine are intertwined. #auspol

A day doesn't go by where I'm not contemplating the awful things currently happening to people from Lebanon, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and numerous other traditional enemies of the west as a direct result of the sadistic actions of the USA and its allies such as Australia. But it must not paralyse me.

A specter is haunting Bluesky

I think a key and under discussed reason for the relative ascendancy of conspiracism is the simple fact that neither the US nor Israel are actually acting all that rationally and a lot of people have internalized a framework of mind where a state acting against its own interests isn't possible.

khajit has wares, if you have coin

Given draconic precedent, it seems like a bad idea to try and corner a mystical creature that is known for carrying a lot of gold treasure drop? (re: leprechaun trap)

Bourgeoisie switching on him

Construction workers shouldn’t earn less because teachers are paid shit. The question should be how construction workers have managed to win higher wages from their shitty bosses and why doesn’t Labor pay education workers more (Labor sets public school wages). The answer is industrial action.

Close pine gap. Give US defence homes to the homeless. Cancel FAUKUS now.

The devs really wanted to show off the PS1's power with more balls! 🤡 - Tales of Phantasia (SNES vs. PS1)

Press pack journos with access to the PM, you need to be asking him about Lebanon, otherwise you look complicit and stupid. A million Lebanese displaced by the IDF. There are a quarter million Lebanese Aussies. What are @albomp.bsky.social's thoughts on the Zionist carpet bombing of Beirut??

Weird to see people both on here and Twitter not look further into it snd see that this bill is actually substantive— it isn't about just sanctioning only one military unit via Leahy and it is the first bill ever to specifically call for criminal investigations on US citizens serving in the IDF.

Reminder that the eugenicists currently dismantling public health think everyone should be outfitted with a wearable.

The Albanese Labor Government has chosen to work hand-in-hand with One Nation and the Liberals to push through extreme anti-migrant and anti-refugee policies. These policies were always going to be challenged in the courts because they are so contrary to basic human rights.

You remind me of those hardcore bluesky accounts

Here’s me on the media’s constant disinformation regarding the NDIS and it’s recipients, as well as what would happen if the NDIS worked the way places like the AFR keep demanding

After World War II, the Housing Commission built and leased thousands of public homes with rents capped at twenty-five percent of household income. The introduction of public housing was a huge working-class victory. But over the years, Governments withdrew from the ideal of universal housing

The second USians start thinking the Democratic Party might be redeemable, the leftism suddenly leaves their bodies

2) The language and structure thereof around the self always changes with the times. Even if we allow that everything we think we know about the brain, the self, consciousness, etc. falls flat under greater scrutiny and a new template settles in…

As a child, knowing nothing: “you can solve homelessness by giving people homes.” In my 20s, having studied: “it’s complex and you can’t just give people homes, but help them find stable employment and-” pushing 40s, having learned even more: “you can solve homelessness by giving people homes. “
