Here's @instanterudite.bsky.social. 'Dutton’s dangerous dance: decrying one form of racism while stoking all the others'

Can you believe it?! We’ve got 35 COMMUNITY INDEPENDENTS running in our upcoming election…woohooo!! Interested to learn more? Just head to our website & check out our interactive map with every Community Independent campaign. Let’s do this! communityindependentsproject.org/ci-mps-candi... #Auspol

A Jewish man in Miami shot two Jewish Israeli tourists, thinking they were Palestinians. The Israelis spoke of antisemitism & said “death to Arabs”. There were *no* Palestinians or Arabs involved. A Zionist fantasy, a fever dream, full of hallucinated monsters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@amyremeikis.bsky.social does this NACC reversal make the position of the Commissioner untenable? I mean, you'd think so?

I ❤️ Seth McFarland. This put a smile on my face. #FamilyGuy

Putting it in quotes does not make it any better. Dutton strikes a delicate balance on 'bigoted hate speech' would be more accurate. Dutton encourages 'bigoted hate speech' and assumes a compliant media will cover for him is even more so.

So I went to see Brave New World yesterday. "I don't agree with the President, but its the White House" as they rock up. Nope. Disbelief unsuspended. We have reached the last days of US Presidential respect. Hollywood has to find a new proxy for positions of authority.

It was chili picking day here earlier. We now have 'hot hands' and a blanket ban on touching specific skin areas, our own or each other's.

Is it wrong that I want to call the Cybercucks?

We are scaling up in preparation for an imminent election and we need you - your voice, your help, your donation, your heart and smarts and fired up motivation. We are doing this together and we are growing every week 🔥

Love a good honest government ad. youtu.be/JBqVVBUdW84

This dude performing Creep with his mom, a classically trained Indian singer, is fucking lovely.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

For the purposes of international diplomacy, this essentially says "The US cannot be trusted to hold to a deal beyond the current term of any president. Hell, beyond the exiting of the negotiating rooms. Form your own trade blocks people."

This is one of the most ghoulish things I’ve ever fucking read. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Just cooked my first two dishes from @meemalee.bsky.social cook book Mandalay. OMFG* From the first mouthful to the last, just amazing. * The actual words spoken when the first bite was taken.

Unlike you I get my news from a reliable source.

See you soon, keen beans! ☔️😃🧡

The fact that the FBI didn’t hold a press conference announcing the largest seizure of self-made explosives in history tells you everything you need to know about race and ideology of the suspect. Wanna guess? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

If anything is designed to get me to stop reading and go outside, its the Amazon Kindle site. What a useless pile of crap full of 'Generic Title: A Soft Porn Mystery (Book 73)'. I know there's good books out there but you can't find them because the search is deliberately shit.

You know, we really should pronounce Department of Government Efficiency as 'Dog-E'. Just to piss them off. "Ok people, Elon is here for some Dog-E business."

This lady.. is really saying something here. Whew. 🔥 part 1. (Part 2 below 👇🏾)
