Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

So the Israel Iran war is apparently over due to mediation by #Trump. Was this drama all confected to set him up for his Nobel Peace Prize?

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage #DoIt

Dear AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social Reasons I won't vote (and will actively campaign against) Labor: • support for US bombing Iran • supporting Israel's #GazaGenocide • pro-fossil fuels • pro-gambling • anti-environment • failure to protect Indigenous sites 😢 #auspol

Memo to #abc730: Mike Pezzullo was sacked from the APS for breaching its Code of Conduct FOURTEEN TIMES. He left in disgrace. He was officially stripped of his Order of Australia. Why is he now being given access to your prestigious platform?

He was humiliated on No Kings Day, so he bombed a country to self-soothe.

There's an eeriness to this as @davemilbo.bsky.social, Jo, Emma & Bruce discuss the present & past actions & plans of the US & Israel (hard to tell the diff). Then find out the shocking news that the US have hit Iran & are briefly rendered speechless. As usual, excellent episode incl Antony's int ✌️

How in the godforsaken fuck do we live on a planet where the world’s on the brink of another devastating war ATM and all because too many citizens in one fucked-up country couldn’t bring themselves (twice) to just vote for a woman? #NewsCorpse

Slightly baffled as to why we're hearing Scott Morrison's opinions on the US's Iran strikes reported as news

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

No Congressional approval and we find out we're at war with Iran from a freaking social media post. Just straight up Mad King

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The federal govt wants to have a conversation about productivity OK then, start at the obscene amounts being paid to CEOs & executives - how's their productivity? Before you ask ppl on minimum/award wages to lift their game, start at the top 🐝 #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Universal healthcare should be a basic human right Affordable housing should be a basic human right Clean air and water should be a basic human right Access to healthy food should be a basic human right No one should be forced to live in legislated poverty when we could easily provide for all

Everyone splitting hairs and going with the 'it's not really journalism, it's propaganda'. Stop wasting time. The point is when you let rich people get this rich they will always end up owning these spaces and turning journalism against its stated purpose. Ergo, capitalism is the problem.

The fact that they charged Luigi with terrorism for allegedly killing a health care CEO but the person who targeted and killed sitting US senators does not get terrorism charges very loudly tells you everything you need to know about America.

(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has lots of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).
