@lintonbesser.bsky.social why does this keep happening? Pezzullo is on the ABC every week now! And why don't they introduce him as "disgraced and sacked former Home Affairs boss"? The only thing I want to hear from him is repentance.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

It really is this simple.

Defo have deleted amazin app Iv even dumped google they can get fucked to Using this 1 seems ok duckduckgo.com

Birenbaum has hired prominent defamation lawyer Rebekah Giles, who threatened to sue El Masry if the statements on his Cairo Takeaway Instagram account were not removed by late Friday. Unbe-fuckin'-lievable!

Can I suggest that since the ABC is acknowledging that News Corp are "agenda driven" in attacking the ABC, that they acknowledge News Corp is "agenda driven" on everything, and therefore the ABC should not amplify News Corp's political agenda and platform their staff? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Joe Gebbia has joined #Musk #DOGE team. I won't be using AirBnB anymore!!! #JoeGebbia #AirBnB

Don't underestimate the power of thought which can be honed while 'crafting' "The basket is too small to hold anything but my nightmares. But I know its working, because I used up all my rope for my noose" Sarah Kendzior never disappoints open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

TGIF!!

@volcanologist.bsky.social would this all melt and go to steam or risk of flood/landslide?

The ALP Federal Government may have been disappointing to many, but it is not openly hostile to regular Australian workers. Check out this outrageous nonsense from the LNP's Michaelia Cash if they win the upcoming election. #AusPol #auspol

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

We're heading towards book burning

Australia is a very racist country, and our public institutions have been a large reason for the growing level of racism in the past few years. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Who are the climate criminals? Those who mine & burn fossil fuels, pumping billions of tons of carbon pollution into our one and only biosphere, causing climate heating & millions of deaths each year? For profit! Those who protest nonviolently trying to protect the planet & future generations?

AUS mainstream news media: If a lesbian couple feel unsafe bc of the actions of a male cabbie or a white policeman ignoring their complaint, the reporting will focus on criticising the words of the non-white member of the couple, rather than on the fact the women felt unsafe. #sexism #racism 😔

An ungentle reminder / LIFE HACK #auspol

If this is a direct quote, it's one of the most irresponsible and reckless things a SECDEF has ever said

Worth a retweet 🤬

They know this will infuriate not just the crossbench but any voter paying attention, and they are banking on very few voters doing that.

Pretty extraordinary thread from the hell site. What does the Daily Telegraph editor have to say? threadreaderapp.com/thread/18892...

Dear ABC management. It's not that hard to run a successful organisation. You just need to bring a vision, treat your staff like human beings, listen to stakeholders, promote talent, support reasonable risks, dismiss the bullies, and create safety. Stop making it look hard.

My understanding is that Ms Lattouf didn't express any political views on air during her time at the ABC - but the problem now seems to be that she has political views at all #auspol #LattoufvsABC

Drop AUKUS now! #auspol
