I bet for the first ten seconds on the rack those Christian martyrs felt aMAzing

Arguing violence is inherent within the Indigenous culture-it doesn’t get more offensively eugenic than this. Let’s remember we are literally in the middle of a white male dominated intimate partner violence crisis./2

you can't spell "tariffs" without "FFS"

Earlier today, someone created a massive network of empty Bluesky accounts with repetitive biographies such as "Ireland based, interested in travel", "Netherlands based, interested in fashion", "Turkey based, interested in technology", and so on. Thus far, the purpose of these accounts is unclear.

It's all right there for all of us to clearly see #auspol

You Who!

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

For Australian authors impacted by the META/LibGen theft of IP.

I've had this bullshit argument so many times with so-called libertarians. Libraries democratise literature, not stealing the labour of authors. LIBRARIES

When it comes to information influence campaigns, “visceral” emotional manipulation is the contagion agent & glue. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yEjt...

Even the term ”gender-based violence” dances around the issue. While there are comparatively very small numbers of women and non-binary people who are violent physically and emotionally, it is primarily men who are the antagonists. We need to call it out for what it is: male violence.
