Anyone else getting DMs with offers for some sort of BlueSky badge, I've been deleting the overtures but just wondering who else is getting these DMs.

BREAKING: Palestinian witnesses and hospitals say Israeli forces opened fire toward hundreds of people waiting for aid trucks in central Gaza, killing at least 25 people.

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.” Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?” He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

Best YT channel to understand what’s happening in global shipping generally and Strait of Hormuz more specifically rn. #Iran youtu.be/eTe5r2Z2PGk?...

Aussies miss when morning routine didn't involve finding out whatever the fuck this cunt did today. We really do. chaser.com.au/general-news...

Truly says a lot about the environment power has created, where calling for support of aid to go into Gaza (a basic human right and a war crime to deny) is seen as 'criticism' of Israel. That it was the first thing to come to Albanese's mind speaks volumes.

Those on-demand traffic-calming devices are out of control.

Exclusive: Leaked documents claim Good Advice promised private deals, gathered signatures and hired land council members to undermine FN people getting in the way for Northern Territory gas sales #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

analysis of Israel’s own data "shows it murdered 377,000 Palestinians during genocide so far – half of them kids"

Albanese won big - on preferences. Labor’s primary vote was 32.6%… Pretty clear message that almost 70 percent of Australian’s did not support Labor’s current platform. Supporting #Trump unconditionally and tying us further to this madman is not what most of us want @albomp.bsky.social

Seriously one of the best channels on #YouTube rn. And it's made in Melbourne. #LivingSmall #design #HousingCrisis www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Always be careful what you wish for. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Just a reminder, Penny, your govt has committed Australia to a nuclear military future through #Aukus & Fleet Base West. #auspol

The state of #Iran is like the Persian Carpet Gallery for WMDs. But instead of “Closing down in a few weeks”, it has been “just weeks away from a nuclear weapon” for decades.

Just consider for a moment that Penny Wong, who flounces around the world dictating everyone else follow the “Rules-based order” now says she supports Trump going to war illegally without Congress’ approval and dragging Australia along with him. #auspol

Involvement in US strikes on Iran could make Australia a target, experts warn as government tight-lipped on Pine Gap www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Tens of thousands of US military pass through Shannon Airport every year. At times, it’s the largest de facto US war base in the world, despite Ireland being neutral & pretending it doesn’t notice. All US military should be obliged to provide >their< social media accounts, in advance, unlocked.

Irish people applying for US visas must now detail all social media accounts they've used in past five years, according to requirements outlined today by the US embassy in Dublin.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

brilliant

Yup, international law is just so quaint and nostalgic when our allies are the ones breaking it. But God forbid someone we have designated a threat step anywhere near the lines we’re hastily pretending never existed

💯

Can we have the alien invasion/asteroid impact/supervolcano eruption now, please? Please? PLEASE!!!

Fact. #NoMoreLies #NoMoreGenocide #NoMoreWars

While the country braces for the possibility of attacks from Iranian sleeper cells, we can all rest easy knowing that Trump’s put this 22 year old former part-time grocery clerk and landscaper, in charge of terrorism prevention. He’s got zero experience. NEVER worked in counter-terrorism. SMDH

You don't understand! The ALP government has to support Israeli genocide, US war crimes, the destruction of the rule of law, and the north west gas shelf, because it only has a 51 seat lead on the Coalition. Something something Murdoch. They're really progressive, I swear.

Well, if you put it like that, @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social. 🤔 #Iran #Israel www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Look, we need to be serious here. We are talking about a country led by jingonistic religious fanatics that are obsessed with demonstrating their military might. They even make school kids pledge allegiance to the flag every morning and... hang on someone just handed me some notes.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.
