As Ted O'Brien recently said - we can "learn a lot" from the Koreans ... www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

What would MLK think? What would John Lewis think? What would Malcolm X think? What would James Baldwin think? What would Fredrick Douglass think? What would W.E.B Du Bois think? What would Rosa Parks think? What would Thurgood Marshall think? What would Harriet Tubman think of King Trump?

Goddammit Since forever I've watched every film in the James Bond 007 franchise. James Bond died in the last episode but 007 is a job title, not a person. A few years ago The Fallen Sun suggested that the person portrayed by Idris Elba might be the new 007 Now Amazon owns the name I'll never know.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Neo-Nazis: This is a Nazi salute. Historians: This is a Nazi salute. Everyone online: This is a Nazi salute. Journalists: Musk gave a weird wave that's being interpreted in different ways. #TheChaser has more credibility than the mainstream news media. #ElonMusk #TrumpInauguration #USPolitics

we would love it if you shared this youtu.be/DjjPl8vwInw?...

Please please please watch this. Please.

Wonder whether #abcnews will consider this newsworthy enough to mention. #auspol

Am I expected to believe that a "strong" USA will protect me (in Australia) from ... anything? I am unable to fathom the idea that the US will overwhelm the Chinese economy and turn it into a client state of the United States #TrumpIsAMoron

I'm dying 😂

What’s the one ingredient

"To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed...The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…"

Welcome to Heaven, Jimmy Carter.

Really wild how much King St has just become people doing gig work for nasty food delivery corporations struggling to move on a pedestrian area on overpowered e-bikes - while cars continue to dominate and congest the 4 lanes. Cliche thing to say returning to my old haunt I guess......

Ever have that terrible, sinking feeling?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

☢️ Just gotta say: How funny is it that the nukebros have been harping on for months about how you “need” nuclear for a strong manufacturing industry, and now Liberal reveal their nuclear plan hinges on having LESS manufacturing and a SLOWER growing economy than Labor’s plans. 😂 #auspol #AusEnergy

A school bus belonging to IQRA Islamic College in Adelaide was set ablaze in a suspected arson attack last weekend. Reported by SBS, Nine, Seven and NewsCorp. STILL nothing yet on the ABC News website. And no condemnation of the attack by PM Albanese or OL Dutton. Shameful. 😠 #Islamophobia

The Climate Council is doing good work presenting the facts re costs of #renewables vs #nuclear. I don't expect the mainstream news media will bother reporting this data. Perhaps @australianlabor.bsky.social and the @greens.org.au could address Dutton's misinformation. #auspol #energy #ClimateAction

“That may the view of young people that’s not the view of our government”… Housing Minister Clare O’Neil on Triple J’s Hack. Doubt that went down well with the audience

This @arielbogle.bsky.social @readfearn.bsky.social piece is so good, for many reasons but importantly is shows the spectrum of community opposition to renewables: from bad-faith political / fossil fuel networks to genuine sentiment from communities left out of the process. Read --->>>

Nuclear power plants use a large amount of water for cooling and to drive turbines, typically between 13–24 billion liters per year: Amount of water used: A 1600 MW nuclear plant uses around 2,000 liters of water per second or 173 million liters per day SHOW ME THE WATER, Mr Littleproud. #auspol

The Media Gives Turnip Special Treatment

This is what happens when the editor of the Guardian goes on an Israel sponsored ‘re-education’ tour. This has been the main headline story all day, making a link between this attack in Melbourne and Labor’s UN vote. There’s no proof, so why the absolutely misleading headline? #AUSPOL
