History will be kind to this great man, more than we were.

It's a very short walk from here to "Anne Frank died of typhus, thus there were no gas chambers."

Good news. Since I have a picture of a street with no cars in it, we don’t need streets for cars. I know that because of all the helpful people who have told me over the years that because they have a picture of a bike-lane with no bikes in it, we don’t need bike-lanes. “Common sense,” right? #not

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen?

Women need to be aware of this if they are taking extra Vitamin B6 to relieve peri- and post-menopausal symptoms. (Of course, everyone should exercise caution when using supplements.)

Cleo Laine, Britain's most successful jazz singer, dies aged 97

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

We can stop AUKUS! getup.to/pPKoqUaC8AgUx

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

Fear and hatred of science is fear of truth and truth’s impact on your fragile prejudiced view of the world. #science #truth

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

Artist or activist? For Juliet Stevenson and her husband, Gaza leaves them with no choice

Jillian Segal and hubby John Roth fund the far-right "Advance" group, who opposed the Aboriginal voice on grounds it’s divisive to treat one group differently. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

A psychopath, a narcissist, and a sociopath walk into a bar. The barman says, "What can I get you, Mr Trump?”

I love this! ❤️

The @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social has put out a very strong and well argued statement rejecting the special envoy’s antisemitism plan

Add your name to the call for a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

Sanctioning Francesca Albanese for trying to stop a holocaust, while funneling a genocidal maniac billions in weapons and diplomatic support, is some heinous evil empire shit. It's an assault on reality.

The US isn’t just unreliable, it’s no longer our friend. @albomp.bsky.social should cancel #AUKUS and redirect OUR $4.7B being gifted to support the US submarine industry to instead support OUR pharmaceutical industry. #auspol

I never thought Americans would give up their democracy so easily. Terrifying to see.

First Dog will put a smile on your face, even as the world is going down the gurgler, and you should absolutely follow him! 😍

When you take a vacation while your constituents are drowning that’s called a Ted Cruise.

WHO SAYS IRONY IS DEAD: War criminal Netanyahu nominated felon Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize! THE FELON: “Thank you very much. This I didn’t know. Coming from you in particular this is very meaningful.” THE WAR CRIMINAL: “Thank you for everything you’ve done.”

Ditto for Tr*mp! Cutesy nicknames humanise them.

If you are “afraid for your sons" based on 2% of reported rap3s being false, imagine how afraid we are for our daughters based on the other 98% .

They lie. And they lie. And they lie! But this is a truly appalling accusation 🤬 www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healt...

When the establishment punches down, it’s satire… When the marginalised punch up, it’s a threat This isn’t just insane hypocrisy, this is a system working exactly as designed Because it’s not about protecting us, the public …It’s about protecting power.

The BBC: very selective when it comes to 'impartiality'. One thing that is not complicated - Gibb needs to go.

1. Don't snitch-tag. 2. Don't explain to people what they just said. 3. Don't "correct" people's jokes. 4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts. 5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts. 6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know. The rest is commentary.

Too few Aussies even care about the ancient peoples and ancient cultures of this land, so ancient bugs (spiders, cockroaches, eek!) and their fragile ancient environment haven't a hope in hell! Mr dog is spot on as always. C'mon Hydrogen Guy, isn't there somewhere less world heritagey available?! 🙏

In a world that increasingly celebrates mediocrity, we'll never know how much potential has been wasted.

A fine tribute to a brilliant and inspiring pianist and teacher. By Alan Rusbridger, who was fortunate enough to share conversations with him, receive his musical advice and attend his final concert. RIP Alfred Brendel.

A voice of reason from 'old' Labor. We need more of this, please. Not only is Australia's response inconsistent, but we seem to have lost our humanity and courage too. Few Aussies are under any illusion about the barbarity of the Iranian regime, but the actions of Israel/the US are unconscionable.

Their nuclear sites are "completely destroyed" and that was the whole point of this operation according to them. So why is Israel still bombing Iran? If the mission is accomplished, why isn’t the war over yet?

Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity. Why does the israeli/US ‘pathway to peace’ always involve missiles, military, and oppression? #auspol

A lovely gift from my man this morning. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into both of these later! I'm already hooked on the premise of the story, @janecaro.bsky.social 😘 (It was the last copy on the shelf at our local BigW btw 😊).

"In Gaza, keeping a baby alive is now an act of resistance, of endurance . . children continue to waste away, their futures starving before they have had a chance to begin and draw the first steps of their lives."

Any “journalist” who predicted economic good times because Trump “lifted the yoke of woke” has earned contempt, derision and mockery. An expensive suit filled with an empty man.
