Brilliant, heart-rending analysis from @kossamaras.bsky.social but made me wonder why the Greens don't seem to be seizing the moment. (Or am I wrong?) #AusPol

A reminder, Aussies, it’s not only flu shot time (they’re expecting a doozy this year) but it might be time to get another COVID booster. I get them every six or eight months because I fly a lot and if they wane I’m bound to catch it on a flight. Three times now, all on planes - and I mask. #AusPol

She spoke out about Gaza. Now she can't use a credit card. The UN investigator for Palestinian territories is facing U.S. sanctions and accused of antisemitism by the State Department.

No we don't. AI uses us - and steals it all.

Best of intentions. All power to people trying to fix a continuing disaster. But I can't help but think unless we seriously address climate change such projects are likely futile. And the scale of the challenge regarding restoring the GBR is massive. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

"Hey Stephen Miller, fucking retire, man!" Our DC Bureau Chief David Corn caught up with a retired army veteran at the No Kings march in Washington. He had a strong message for those in uniform now.

Rosie is ready….she will be with you all the way on Cape Cod!

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.

If you're thinking about what to do with your summer, my friend Peter Stridh (@pinoseed-connect.bsky.social) is offering berths aboard his engineless 10-metre sailboat/home on a series of daytrips and longer passages off the coast of Sardinia, between April and October. pinoseed.com

Remembering how Mike Cannon-Brookes went on 7.30 and told Sarah Ferguson how artists should be happy to give up their IP for free. Reminds me of that troll flagrantly stealing my cartoon. AI depends on theft. www.smh.com.au/national/atl...

Also, there is bad human writing.

This is what ecocide looks like.

Some of them are asking for their billion dollars back

it's 1982. i'm baby. a dubious war in the middle east is underway. it's 1990, i'm 8. we are starting a dubious war in the middle east. it's 2003. i'm 21. we are starting a dubious war in the middle east. it's 2026. i'm 44. we are starting a dubious war in the middle east...

Independent UN Commissioner Fionnuala Ní Aoláin told Radio National Breakfast, "these women are victims too, and their children are absolutely victims." I agree. Bring them home @albomp.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

The statement from Aftab Malik, Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia. With alt text

Two years of peaceful protests with the police standing by and watching, friendly. Now this. I’ve seen a few videos of ugly police violence from yesterday and I’m genuinely shocked. What changed in the policing approach and why? We need answers, and hold these officers and their masters to account.

At least three police that should be sacked and charged with assault. A disgrace. #auspol

the police presence at Town Hall is unfuckingbelievable. They are deep inside the station, stopping and searching people at the top of the stairs from the platform. Absolutely off the charts I have never seen anything like it and I have protested for over 40 years.

Not new or original - but it’s truly nuts that skin checks are so expensive given the rates of skin cancer in this country.

Dear President Herzog, To ‘reverse the brainwash’ (a Murdoch headline re your visit) please ask Netanyahu to allow full access to Gaza/West Bank for all journalists. Please explain the almost total destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure, housing, hospitals, schools + 70,000 ‘collaterally’ killed.

Is every single writers festival in Australia going to choose to voluntarily self-destruct because the alternative of letting a Palestinian speak is just too unfathomably unthinkable www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Clearly it’s time to appoint a permanent officer in the government to look over all the festival programs. Some fellow in a centralised office where all the art can be submitted beforehand, to make sure it’s socially cohesive. Some kind of Chief Approver, if you like www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

From the AFR: sorry but this is absolutely batshit fucking crazy and it needs to stop

This is terrible. Censorship in action.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Here's a guide to some of the best independent media. knittingnannas.org/2026/02/04/i...

It’s clear Labor cares more about investors with dozens of properties than it does about renters, first home buyers and homeless people. It’s hard enough right now to get ahead, you shouldn’t be doing it harder. It shouldn't be on you.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

The Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth was targeted and attacked with an explosive device. The silence from the right has been deafening. The same politicians who have spent the last month politicising violence are now nowhere to be found.

Israel has attacked Gaza on 89 of the 104 ceasefire days, killing more than 100 Palestinian children, including at least 60 boys and 40 girls, according to UNICEF. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Parents in Tehran find their missing son alive in a body bag at the morgue. He played dead in the bag for 3 days so he wouldn't be discovered & finished off. Doctors in Iran say 16,500 have been killed, & 330,000 wounded. United Nations Human Rights Council special session: youtu.be/TpeFLm1VMVQ

I'm biased because it's my favourite part of the world full of happy memories, but what's unfolding with fire in #Otways #OtwayForest is so, so sad High 40° temps expected tomorrow There is ancient, temperate rainforest, filled with trees centuries old. Beautiful towns, people & creatures

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

Great photo. Heroic act.

This made my day. It will brighten yours too.

And by the way, mixing up Norway with Denmark and Greenland.

Write letters to cultural institutions- galleries, festivals, theatres, bookstores - when you love what they do. Double down on this.

Wowed by the beautiful performance of Khalid Abdulla in his one-man show "Nowhere" at the Sydney Festival last night. The most uplifting theatre I've seen for a long time - charming, intelligent, playful, funny, humble, touching and optimistic. Healing. A roadmap for how to be human in dark times.

Meanwhile at the Sydney Festival - the marvellous Khalid Abdulla. He's one of my favourite actors - looking forward to seeing this tonight. www.sydneyfestival.org.au/events/nowhere

She should sue, she should sue so fucking hard.

These creeps seeing a chance to turn it into the Adelaide version of the Trump Kennedy Centre, where the only authors are Kid Rock, Kiss and Scott Baio.
