Happy birthday to Dionne Warwick. Here's a wonderful live show filmed in a small Belgium club in 1964 youtu.be/ZdvYTRQPMLI

Labor is recognising the Greens were right all along to call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. But tragically, it's one year too late. Tens of thousands of people have been killed in Gaza in the meantime.

"Nuclear energy solves so many political problems without solving any real-world problems. No wonder the government & Coalition love to fight about it. It’s a fantastic distraction from their bipartisan support for fossil fuel expansion & subsidies." - @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Try posting the same thing on Twitter and Bluesky and compare that stats after a day. Twitter feels like a lame horse. Tweets don't tweet.

Fuxk the Labor party. We voted for change and got more of the same. Our PM talks about how he grew up poor but fails to acknowledge the steps ups he revived no longer exist. I.e Free education and public housing.

I have learned a few things in my time on this earth. Not many, but a few. I have learned that western regime change interventionism is reliably disastrous, and that men like John Bolton and Bill Kristol are always on the wrong side of history when it comes to such matters.

Every news agency and org that fails to present it as “Israel’s prime minister - who is wanted by the international criminal court for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity - has said it is “extreme” to call for Israel to comply with international law is failing

Both Albanese & Dutton attended Criminal Lachlan Murdoch's Xmas Party, 93yo Criminal Murdoch Senior was also in attendance along with Premier Minns & Kerry Stokes, gutless Albo going to a Xmas Party to socialise with people who are trying 24/7/365 to destroy him

It is not getting a lot of coverage - but there is a world of financial pain coming for WA households if WA Labor agrees to extend the Woodside gas deal. And that's without the huge environmental cost. australiainstitute.org.au/post/north-w...

Still more evidence of the Israeli campaign of genocide upon the Palestinian people of Gaza.

The Woolies injunction hearing happens tomorrow at 9:30am. In the event that they are successful, it will likely include an injunction that bars @UnitedWorkersOz from calling for a community picket to assemble.

Who do I have to plough to get some breaking news around here?

There is a thread which runs through all of these neolib policies throughout western democracies and if you don't think it's going to get worse without strong, united and committed pushback, you're not paying enough attention.

You can't be anti-racist and pro-Israel; they are mutually contradictory positions. Israel is an apartheid state, arguably the most racist society on this planet. If you support Israel you support racism, whether you admit this about yourself or not.

Worth following this case in Australia - one of the country's biggest fossil fuel companies is having its climate claims and promised tested in court: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

last month 3,900 australians donated $377,000 to @climate200 to help keep #trumpism out of australia. as a donation aggregator, every cent we raise online goes to values-aligned community independent campaigns around the country. #AusVotes25 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A few things this post did do is help me discover new people, follow some great accounts back - and happily weed out some insufferable arseholes 😎

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

I’m told the Murdoch rags have already started to panic about Australia Day. Seems a bit early. We haven’t yet had the annual hysteria about the shopping centres banning Christmas so as not to offend the Muslims.

reckon Jim would fit in perfectly on this bluesky thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=csSq...

I ask you, is there anything more useless, more irrelevant, more vain and vacuous, more downright utterly otiose than a National Party MP ?
