Love the Nannas ( yes spellcheck, spelt with two ‘n’s)

Sshh- Still no definitive answer to the question: would Australia’s AUKUS N subs be deployed operationally in any US war with China? MKoziol SMH/Age reports “yes” assurances may have been given by @almp.bsky.social to Trump .. but our PM won’t confirm.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Suspected bird flu has reached Australia's sub-Antarctic Heard Island, with signs of the deadly H5 avian disease observed in elephant seals.

This is brilliant writing by Amy Remeikis (one of Australia's best journalists, in my opinion). I tried to pick out a quote to lead into this piece - but every word is excellent - so you'll just have to read it all for yourself. She nails it.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes. When govts want to do something, they do it. When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse. No one here should fall for it

"They were just girls and they were begging the world to believe them and fight for them." Amanda Roberts, sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, says the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case shows "there is one set of laws for the rich and powerful’

What a deal. My @smh @theage cartoon.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

The death of a koala in our city's Nth is a stark reminder of how fragile the future of the species has become. Planning must put protection of our environment at the centre & there needs to be more transparency around how these decisions are being made. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

As always it’s money’s fault

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

“The environment minister wants to pass a major re-write of federal nature laws this year, encouraging miners to lobby the Coalition to work with Labor to help rush it through parliament in the final three sitting weeks” Just contemplate that sentence. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Where do babies come from? Robert F Kennedy Jr doesn’t seem to know And we let men rule countries.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Astute work by @fionakatauskas.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This strikes me as pretty bad

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Remember this as Trump goes on about being "tough on crime." @publiccitizen.bsky.social

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

It’s taken 10 years, blown out by hundreds of millions of dollars, and is still nowhere near becoming operational. Now there are calls for the Darwin ship lift project to be scrapped.

People is in Taco n his Cult’s pocket, so take notice what they posted. Pay attention 2 mainstream media n The Hill! Taco’s Cult always scheming, but they planning 4 Taco’s departure! #arresttrump

Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

The Gaza flotilla gives us hope because we can see SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING! Just love @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social

This mean Taco is going 6 feet under soon? Sure is taking a long time. I got that news a month ago. But, betta late than never! #byetrump youtube.com/shorts/Olf0e...

Every predator movie is about how the prey must turn the tables and become the hunter. In a time dominated by predators, there’s a lesson there.

According to least 2 other members of the flotilla who were detained by Israeli forces & released Saturday. “They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her & forced her to kiss the Israeli flag,” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

In Canberras Parliament House nearly a quarter of all registered lobbyists are from the fossil fuel industry. Yet FF workers represent only 1% of the workforce. Could explain why even new MPs fire back FF talking points when we visit them ie ‘gas is a clean transition fuel’.

Commissioner Brereton told the public and parliament that his position with Defence was entirely honourary, now we know that is not true, that he is part of a chain of advice to Ministers and Defence.

“Mr. Netanyahu, killing tens of thousands and flattening neighborhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s a shield from criticism.” Thank you South Park, for speaking truth. 👏👏👏

Car crash. My @smh @theage cartoon.

How is Susan Ley’s writing to the US Republicans to defy the government’s Palestine policy not treasonous?

Since the change, education standards in Victoria have lifted dramatically, with over three-thirds of students now ranking in the top 80th percentile. theshovel.com.au/2025/09/23/v...

So again blowing people out of the water without due process. Once upon a time when America was a great country this would be called murder. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The week of September 10, 2025, marked a significant escalation in Israel’s military operations, extending beyond Gaza to sovereign territories in Qatar, Lebanon, and Syria. The most controversial strike occurred on September 9 in Doha, Qatar… blakandblack.com/2025/09/11/t...

Divided we stand. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Giant cuttlefish! They are in danger and scientists are going to save them with … bubbles! Love First Dog. He gets it all the time. Pity BHP and Fortescue don’t.
