Would be nice to wake up to a non-shitshow once in a while. 🤦

Just need to take a moment to shout out @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social for the Origin Story pod. Just absolutely fantastic. Well worth a sub.

Vote indie.

By virtue of Grace Tame blowing up my weekend, I was reminded, once again, that there is a sizable portion of adults out there deeply upset by swear words and deeply unconcerned about the state of democracy and the planet. I'm all for manners, but have some fucking perspective, please.

@davemilbo.bsky.social I'm having an issue with my The Shot login and had no luck with the help email via the site. Am I best to direct email someone? Apologies for the Q on Socials. Not trying to put you on blast. You're not Telstra. ;)

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

"if" doing extraordinary legwork here.

It’s genocide. It’s not even an argument. Israel will wear this stain for generations to come. It will never rub off. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Imagine being an actual adult and talking about "haters" in an op ed. I assume "woke" is mentioned elsewhere. Deeply unserious stuff.

Now Human Rights Watch is saying it

Worst jerseys ever created. Holy cow.

Just flagging that the bball world is ready for whatever is next any time you are @zachlowenba.bsky.social. 😉😍

Don't like the police actions do like that that bluesky is currently actually user friendly for folks wanting to read news. Have (re)discovered The shot, @slackbastard.bsky.social and others here. And have subbed and paid for some stuff too.

At this point all I can hope for is that the vote against Labor doesn't all go to LNP. These are the days 2 party dominance sucks.

@davemilbo.bsky.social apropos of nothing have you found any good Australian centric starter lists. Which I assume you are on? Being a newb here and the algo balance is a smidge US centric.
