Ridiculous policy. The White House is far too small for that.

While it's good to report that Dutton is lying, it's not helpful to _repeat the lies_. People will read this headline and believe that "Labor is fast-tracking citizenship for Gazans to win votes". Better would be "Dutton lies about Labor immigration policy" or even not to report it at all.

I know people slag off Clive Palmer as an irrelevant halfwit but in this case, he does make a good point. Thanks, Clive! I'll be voting Greens.

Clive Palmer did what now?

Jon Batiste, the guy who just sang the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, was on the board for the Kennedy Center until he was removed by Donald Trump a few days ago. Donald Trump also named himself the Chairman of the board.

When the Eagles crowd boos you harder than they do the Chiefs, it's time to consider some of your life choices, Donald. #superbowl

… and while I'm harping-on about war crimes, the term "ethnic cleansing" is a polite euphemism for "genocide". The only reason to use it is to avoid hurting the feelings of the people who are doing it. Don't know about you, but I'm not in the business of mollycoddling génocidaires.

Ohai journalists of Bluesky. Would you mind adding to your articles about Trump's plans for Gaza a footnote or similar that gently points out that what he is proposing is an actual war crime as per the Geneva conventions? You can read all about it here: ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary...

It's a good day to crank up Broken English until the police come by. Marianne Faithfull absolutely dominated the room as Peg Leg in the Black Rider and I'll be forever thankful for having been there to witness her - a force of nature. www.theguardian.com/arts/feature...

Also I just had a hot cross bun from Woolies and there were like only 3 raisins in it. I know that’s not exactly the biggest problem in the world today but can’t we even just have one nice thing like a bun with adequate amounts of dried fruit?

Just heard that Elon Musk has denied doing a "Sieg heil" and claimed that he was merely "saluting victory".

Over the next few years, finding joy is going to be just as important as resisting fascism & supporting those being attacked. Bikes and the community that fights for better places bring me so much joy, so I will continue to embrace them and all the good things they encourage (even when it's -7 °F).

I find zero value in celebrity culture until we get to Keri Russell, who doesn't hop on a bike for the "look at me" photo shoot, but rather lives the bikes-for-transportation lifestyle in Brooklyn NY.

Albo saying that people claiming spots on beaches with cabanas is "unAustralian" but I reckon landing on a beach and staking territory that isn't yours is the most Australian thing I've heard of

The truck used in the New Orleans terrorist attack is a Ford F-150 Lightning, which is perfectly designed for this kind of attack. It weighs more than 6000 lbs, accelerates to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, and the battering-ram-shaped front is nearly 5 feet tall. Deadly by design.

Last night I drew a map of places of worship in and around Melbourne’s CBD w/ 150m exclusion zones around them. It shows that the new laws will make protests at common gathering places, parks, transport hubs and thoroughfares illegal /🧵

Nul points for MFWF. Firstly for the name of this event. But mostly because they're demanding _$600_ for the events that don't sound like disappointing sexual encounters.
