Israel is destroying every pipe and hose that delivers water to rural Palestinian and Lebanese villages. This Nazis behaviour still has the loyalty of AIPAC funded politicians. If that doesn’t scare you, you’re a fascist.

Would Jillian Segal see Ben-Gvir’s call for a nightly slaughter quota for murder of Palestinians as one of the bad news stories about Israel that has to be ‘balanced out’ with a good news story? Or is it a positive story because they didn’t genocide them all yet? 🤔

His comment about becoming "head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard" seems to confirm that his whole DEI/race/woke-obsession is just him never having gotten over the fact that he was rejected at Harvard

Australian media has a long history of downplaying men's violence and villainising victims. Jane Gilmore says one factor is the branding of female journalists who report on these crimes as "activists" — a label rarely applied to male journalists who report on systemic failures in other areas.

Australia gave up any semblance of a sophisticated economy long ago, becoming nothing but a rock seller.

Food and art baked into a yummy package. 🫓 A stunning, traditional Uzbek bread known as Patir - a dense and celebratory flatbread. The bread is meticulously decorated by hand with detailed patterns stamped into the center and a sculpted, flower-like border. It is then baked in a tandoor oven.

Do any Australians remember the hamburgers of their youth before the mass produced McDonald’s rubbish arrived? With actual fresh salad inc beetroot, a meat patty made by the business making the hamburgers, real ground beef, fried onion ?

Australian news media: During the Voice Referendum: rolling coverage of the No campaign. 3 former Liberal Govt Indigenous Affairs Ministers issued a press release supporting the Voice. Zero coverage, except by the National Indigenous Times! Now doing the same for Hanson: daily coverage. 😠 #auspol

Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society.  And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that
