Oh yeah, Elon is going to launch a rocket into the moon fast enough to create a 30 kilometre crater and we’re just gonna let him do that for shits and giggles? Or is he really trying to see if he can knock the moon out of orbit? This death cult needs stopping. #DeathCult

#Auspol 1/2: What’s really obvious and galling about the upcoming demolition of the public housing towers in Melbourne (and elsewhere) is when our government says the towers have “reached the end of their usefulness”, what they actually mean is they aren’t bringing in enough money…

This is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Labor was poised to reveal massive migration cuts, then suddenly delayed

The ABC understands the cuts to migration numbers are contentious within Labor, but no reason for the delay is given.

Listen to Dr MadsGilbert criticising 1993-5 OsloAccords. This process was not a path to peace but a framework that led to a BETRAYAL of Palestinian rights & the ENTRENCHMENT of the Occupation. It involved Norwegian diplomat TerjeRodLarsen who was one of Epsteins allies.

Oh boy, H5N1 bird flu is growing in Australia. It’s hit Magpies which live around me. I really hope it doesn’t spread too much. I especially hope it doesn’t hit the Swift’s parrot or black cockatoos. They are struggling enough. ☹️ #Auspol #BirdFlu

I don’t even know where to start on this video. Holy fucking he’ll. The psychopath really thinks some dumbass violation for taking their child to hospital for a broken collar bone is a winning point. Yikes these people.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

I'd respect the argument for a ban, if someone could show me where prohibition has helped 'any' addiction. It doesn't, because it doesn't address the root cause. And the root cause is a break down in care for 'all' in our communities.

Also to be clear I used to be a president of an ALP Branch in the 70's when Labor had a conscience and occasionally acted to implement that social awareness. @albomp.bsky.social & I may have met but I didn't play backroom games back then either #auspol I can't find the story on #BetStop difficulty

Gonna buy some fruit trees next week. 1 plum, 1 peach, 1 pear and a cherry tree. Excited. I do foresee a lot of netting in my future, but that’s the way it is. I have ten raised garden beds too. I’m not growing as much as I should, but the soil is poor here and I’m a slow learner. 😭 #SelfSufficient

I did not know this. Of course I know nothing about colour blindness. I just remember those videos of people seeing colour for the first time. How disappointing.

TRG Movies & Entertainment@trg-commentary.bsky.social · 2d ago

One of the early scams I recognized as such were those "colorblind glasses" that made the rounds like 12 years ago. I am not colorblind, but I know people who are and told me about the glasses. I looked into the causes of colorblindness, and it has - most commonly - a very physical cause.

Your brain uses about 20% of your body's energy. A study found people with Long COVID had lower energy in a key brain region, helping explain brain fog and fatigue. Creatine may help cells deliver ATP energy, but like any supplement, it's probably not the answer on its own.

Long COVID Study Finds Major Energy Deficits in the Brain - Health Rising

A long COVID study examining, for the first time, energy levels in the brain, found them to be depleted in a large region called the cingulate cortex.

"major political parties might agree that a genocide can be passed over as a minor unpleasantness best forgotten. But that’s a fantasy." @jeffsparrow1.bsky.social "Social cohesion" is used to suppress popular anger and calls for justice over the #GazaGenocide. www.deepcutnews.com/p/why-social...

Why 'social cohesion' is a dangerous phrase in Australian politics – Jeff Sparrow

The establishment loves this phrase. But as Ed Husic found out, imposing consensus from the top isn't democracy – it's erasure.

Hey, so do you remember that stupid futuristic city the Saudis were gonna build called The Line? Yeah, it’s been cancelled with only 1.5 kilometres built as costs blew out (who knew) and is now going to become, Guess What?!You’ll never guess! A Data Centre! 🙄 #TheLine #FuckAi

Celebrity? I’ve literally never heard of him. Do we really have celebrity real estate agents and business people? Who decides that? Anyway, NOW he’s famous.

Ralph Carr named as Melbourne businessman found guilty of rape

She’s so emotionally immature & unprepared for every situation. She’s been stealing tax payers money for 30 years and still gets angry when we expect something from her, like answering fair questions at a presser she stacked with friendly media. She’s needs to be thrown out. Enough already! #Auspol

stranger@strangerous.bsky.social · 3d ago

Pauline Hanson flees her own custom-curated presser. With ABC & Guardian banned, & far-right criminal Avi Yemini running interference, still can’t handle questions, even from Sky “Shouldn't all media have access...?"💥 Not even sidekick Avi could save her from total humiliation.

God damn it! I bought peony roses for the first time this year. planted in June. One is already dead. 😭 I think it hasn’t been cold enough for them this winter. To add insult to injury, it was the prettiest one I had. Now I have to wait a full year to try this one again. 😖

RKF never heard a truth he didn’t want to stomp on.

Fallen? Respectfully, they were murdered. They were not soldiers. They weren’t fighting anyone. They were saving lives. #Gaza

Dutch doctors and activists displayed 1,400 pairs of white shoes in a square in the Netherlands in memory of fallen healthcare workers in Gaza. This is heartbreaking.

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

NSW Susan Templeman MP had Australian Federal Police harrass a man over emails he sent to her asking her about funding from Israel and then had him banned from using the area around her office which includes a highway to the city. He is an uber driver. He can’t work now. But you can leave a review.

The warning signs are over: Australia now faces a devastating bird flu outbreak in wildlife

We cannot stop wild birds from flying. But we can control whether this becomes an unmanaged catastrophe or a closely tracked outbreak.
