Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never. If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

The revelation of their plan this week shocked European leaders, who are now paying almost all of the military costs of the war, as well as the Ukrainians, who were not sure whether to take this latest plan seriously until they were told to agree to it by Thanksgiving or lose all further US support.

A very dangerous man

Something seriously wrong with people who kill animals for fun. No moral compass.

Never forget. Punctuation matters.

Our son, Rohan, is doing something extraordinary for his 18th birthday, & @scidocmartin.bsky.social & I are so proud. He's partnered with Headspace to run 100km, raising money for this wonderful organisation! If you can share or donate, we'd be very grateful! www.mycause.com.au/page/385454/...

A national disgrace. Labor is pathetic. Plenty of $ to prop up the US submarine industry, token amounts for R & D in Australia. #CSIRO #AUKUS

It’s important that we enrich our betters before suffering the financial ruin that is necessary to support…a product that doesn’t solve any real problems.

Fancy that. All it takes is a bit of financial help to bring people out of poverty and homelessness.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

Dear Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social I’m sure the Aussie citizens here on BlueSky would love for you to explain: Why caving on gambling advertising is good for Aust. Why caving to Woodside is good for Aust. Why spending $380BN on subs is good for Aust. We will wait for your response. #auspol

My column - Japan imports stonks of our gas for powering its electricity and yet Japan has cheaper electricity than Australia, what the?? #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/news/251118-...

And you’d be lucky if 10c in the dollar went to the people those charities say they are raising money for. Most of it goes to pay executives, call centre workers, professional fundraisers and for the advertising itself. These are businesses. It’s a rort.

Let’s make this arsehole famous.

The smith family want us to help children at school. Mission want us to help the homeless. Isn’t this the job of government? Hey Albo What happened to “no one left behind”? We vote you in do we don’t need these charities. Clearly lots are being left behind

Wow!

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

You may recall that the Albanese govt rammed through laws to shield the salmon industry earlier this year- against all scientific advice and without consultation. This is on them too.

If it’s not safe for lobster in the neighbouring waters, imagine the effect of consuming the salmon that are being directly fed this antibiotic …. Friends don’t let friends eat Tasmanian salmon.

An absolute preventable disgrace …..

Pressed to outline how the LNP will reduce emissions with their new energy plan, Sussan Ley says they’ll rely on “breakthrough technologies” in about “25 years time”😳 - ones not invented yet & “we’re not talking about today”🤔 There you have it. As bonkers as it gets. #auspol

ALT text on video, if anyone knows the tricks and pitfalls, a little advice will be welcome.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Do the Liberal party know what a policy is? They do know is more than a statement don’t they?

Simon Letch’s simple genius.

Neither does this article bsky.app/profile/redl...

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

A baby raised it's hands at a restaurant - and everyone burst into laughter just to make it happy. Just for those few seconds. Everybody forgot what was happening. youtube.com/shorts/WsHoP...

They'll all get electrocuted before it happens. #auspol

Do like @albomp.bsky.social: say it's real and an issue and approve new coal and gas projects on a weekly basis!

Privatising essential services is a recipe for disaster.

Treasury has asked me to pay $561 to access the rationale behind one of their proposed amendments to the #FOI Act, and suggested as ‘Option 1’ that I pay by ‘Bank Cheque or Australian Money Order’. It’s great to see them on top of 21st century monetary technology 🤦‍♂️ . #auspol

This 👇. Unfortunately I think it’s a lost cause.

Climate scientists Ailie Gallant & Alex Dunne educate RWNJ Malcolm Roberts on science, & explain that “in the case of climate change there is not strong disagreement” among scientists. Roberts “There isn’t?” It’s like he was born yesterday.🤔 #Estimates

The only way to fix the childcare system is to get rid of the profit motive. And that includes “not for profits” who use the “profit” to expand their holdings. #Childcare

Great article

Exactly this 👇

From today's Sunday Age and SMH #COP30

A Nordic country is a leader in protecting its citizens. Not surprising, considering their progressive policies: e.g. in education, where students from ages 6 to 16 attended 'Empathy' classes.

A reminder that every candidate who President Obama endorsed won their elections on Tuesday whilst the orange felon’s atrocious candidates all lost. 💙👊

Half the nation’s broke, drowning in debt for food and medicine—yet Elon Musk bags a $1 trillion payout and we’re told moms on SNAP are the real problem. This isn’t capitalism—it’s a rigged aristocracy where greed gets knighthood and struggle gets blame.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
