Make corporations stop this shit. Seriously. This is an industry that needs swingeing regulations imposed immediately. I'm convinced the inherent deception and intellectual theft of the tech is part of the appeal to these hucksters.

#IWD2026. My @smh @theage cartoon.

As a sociologist, this extremely painful and angering. As a sociologist, we've been suggesting this might happen for awhile now. What discipline will be next? #AcademicSky #Sociology #AcademicFreedom

there is a very real public threat to the lives of Iran’s women’s national team players after state media accused them of being “wartime traitors” for refusing to sing the anthem. surely @ausgov.bsky.social cannot allow these players to return to Iran?! www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer...

TWO DAYS LATE, @AlboMP admits to what the world already knew: "There were three ADF troops aboard the US sub that sank the Iranian ship...". Troops? Not sailors? What were the "troops" doing, going on a cruise? He added, "None participated in any offensive action". So it WAS a cruise then. #auspol

“And for him to turn around in the last week and have a crack at David Pocock and Grace Tame, you could not be further departed from the reality of Australians to do that.” – Hannah Ferguson Read more: https://theaus.in/4sr9RQ3

Greater Israel in the making. Who needs global order any more? Might is right & open season on civilians. Lebensräume for a genocidal regime.

Just to reiterate, Anthony Albanese totally and unequivocally supports the murder of 185 girls at an Iranian school. He wants to make sure you know how much he supports the bombing.

Mirror, Mirror- today's #Auspol cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity' - Anonymous

lmao i can't believe he literally did the "i was saying boo-urns"

When Albo tells us who he is, we should believe him: a hollow apparatchik who believes in nothing but his own advancement. #auspol #gracetame #Albo

#AcademicSky Recall studies (from 70s?) showing comic book superheroes being more masculine in tough times? And that tough times ==> people getting larger, more aggressive times? Help me find these? (wondering if @lindaskitka.bsky.social might especially know the papers I mean)

We've released a self-hostable reference implementation of a PLC read-replica service to make the Atmosphere ever more decentralized. @retr0.id has details on what this all means. atproto.com/blog/plc-rep...

🧵Advance has 3 international guests at its conference this weekend. One promotes conspiracies including to Alex Jones. A second conducts messaging for Steve Bannon, ran his “gladiator school” in the Italian monastery. The 3rd reps a vile US hate group. #Auspol lucyham29.substack.com/p/the-advanc...

Environmental reforms rushed through parliament at the end of last year in a deal between Labor and the Greens were welcomed as a “net positive for the oil and gas sector,” according to a senior government bureaucrat. New from me.

Shit-for-brains takes like this should disqualify you from having any kind of presence in public life, and yet for 30 years our media establishment has facilitated her rhetoric and has actively rehabilitated her image over and over and over. Why?

i mean some of us want to be read

Angus Taylor caught fabricating immigration numbers in a shocking trainwreck on #abc730 - Taylor’s 500k claim is not only false, but Ferguson “The 500k figure was put in place by policies that were agreed on by the cabinet that you were part of”💥 Well done Angus🙄 #auspol

Every week an Australian woman is murdered by an Australian man raised on Australian values. What screening process does Angus propose to stop this ongoing and systemic domestic terrorism? 🤬 #auspol

It’s ok everyone, I’ve found the Liberal Australian values. #Auspol.

Here is my cartoon about Mr Jon Kudelka www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is obviously not any sort of apology to the Muslim community. This is in fact directly offensive, and a deliberate provocation.

Happy #LibSpill Day for those who celebrate.

The Internet didn't miss though. I absolutely love it when everyone understands the assignment

Well, it seems like this skeet can get resurfaced with all the pertinence reapplied to the next leader of the opposition.

Remember the wall to wall MSM coverage abt how thoroughly compromised the antisemitism envoy was after it was revealed that she and her husband gave far-right racist outfit Advance $50k? It was decent of #Albo to cut her loose and bury the politically compromised position. #Auspol

Apparently @albomp.bsky.social was right Turns out, we DO share American values. 🖕

Police minister Catley, after witnessing the jacks brutalising citizens last night, sighs in exasperation at NSW's wayward children. 'Don't upset your father. You know what he's like and you're heading for another belting if you keep this up.' #Auspol #HerzogNotWelcome #NSWPol #SocialCohesion

I've attended many rallies in Sydney: anti-nuclear, anti-war, Aboriginal rights, climate action, gay marriage, Voice, pro-Palestine. At the #HerzogNotWelcome rally tonight, I felt genuinely afraid of our NSW Police. Protesters were peaceful & cooperative. The police were angry & violent. 😔 #nswpol

The NSW Police Force that facilitated & covered up dozens of homophobic murders for decades? The NSW Police Force that ignores its own DV protocols & puts victims at greater risk? The NSW Police Force that has a "culture of racism"? I, for one, am shocked they beat peaceful protesters! #auspol

#StateOfTheNation A HUGE thank you to all those peeps out there, all states and towns.. sending the message love your work and the attendance has been fantastic #SocialCohesion worked for all the good, kind hearted peeps out there standing for #Anti-Zionism #Anti-Fascist #Palestine #AusPol

Knitting Nannas Coffs Harbour line up along the Pacific Highway verge with 200 locals. Israel’s Herzog is definitely not welcomed here judging by the frequent truck and car honking. Not one police officer or vehicle to be seen.

Protesting in Canberra is like: - run into friends - run into more friends - see friends across the crowd and wave because they’re too far to talk to - see nemesis and glare at them - pat someone’s dog - recognise minor Auspol figures from bluesky - text absent friends about nemesis

Oh, no. Tensions aren't meant to be rising ABC, they're meant to be falling! Albo told us that's what would happen. #Auspol #FreePalestine #HerzogOut

ICONIC.

Combatting Antisemitism Czar™️, Jillian Segal's, hand-picked University Report card independent assessor - Greg Craven - brings novel views and thoughts to the position.

The acting NSW Cop Commish (Dunstan) belling Albo's cat here. 'The tensions associated with this visit' ... 'we do not want conflict.' #Albo specifically invited the Israeli president to foster a 'greater sense of unity'. The man has the political sensibilities of a mole rat #Auspol #FreePalestine

Bravo Spain. This is what leadership looks like. 👏👏👏👏👏 #Musk

Which means that every single retailer in the country now has carte Blanche to do likewise. Facial recognition is now unofficial Australian policy #Auspol

Don't want Herzog to visit Australia? Neither do we. Tune into the Senate at 12.30pm

Australian tax law has been weaponised to fund a foreign military, via misuse of the Charities Act. Not to mention that subsidising a military overseen by individuals accused by the ICC of war crimes can be framed as complicity. #AusPol #Israel #Gaza www.middleeasteye.net/news/austral...

This is SUCH a good @climateadam.bsky.social video - the quotes here from tech CEOs are beyond belief. I didn't even know about a bunch of these......go watch:

Fingers crossed!
