How Israel is working with the biggest technology companies (including Google, Microsoft & Amazon) to surveil and slaughter Palestinians: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/isra...

The year ends as it began: with the horror of this ongoing genocide, the media and political classes refusing to deal with it honestly and the reduction of crimes against humanity to “culture war” bullshit. sakr.substack.com/p/the-year-o...

GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA! GOLD!

I’m printing this out and rolling a joint with it

83% of plant life in Gaza has been destroyed. Israel's genocide is making Gaza uninhabitable - and our media outlets are complicit by suppressing the truth. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/83-all-pla...

The title to the cleared land should be confiscated as proceeds of crime. That might smarten them up. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yep, that's right, we are at a point where Jacqui Lambie is defending higher education and Arts degrees against the party that likes to claim that it's the party of education. This Labor government has been nothing but disappointment, weakness & gutlessness hiding under the cover of incrementalism.

Albanese “has personally intervened to scupper a deal” with the Greens over an environmental reform promised last election… circumventing his own environment minister, Tanya Plibersek, who had been negotiating “for months and was close to striking a deal”. Yikes. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

A friend of mine is over for dinner- a refugee who spent 6 years on Manus and nearly 2 in a medevac hotel and who has been living, working and building a successful life in Sydney on 6 month visas for three years. He is afraid. Fuck you to hell, Labor you gutless, careless, immoral arseholes

Social media is why we are so bad at cricket now

Albanese told parliament that he want to make sure "children have a childhood and parents have peace of mind"... and so he is raising the rate of govt assistance to ensure children will not live in pover...oh wait, sorry I am being handed a note...

The energy I'm bringing to 2025

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

This is DESPICABLE. It will cut people off from the world- their families, friends and legal advice- and will lead to suicides. Absolutely fucking shameful.

I will vote for whichever party bans VB from social media

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It took FIFA 5 seconds to suspend Russia after the 2nd invasion of Ukraine, and yet Israel is still a member. In addition to maiming or murdering *multiple* Palestinian footballers over the years, they just put Celine Haidar, a 19yo player for the Lebanon woman's team, in a coma after a strike.

New life goal unlocked: become the dry old man, become Old Dry Keith.

To chairmen you say? To a department of efficiency you say?

The move from Twitter to Bluesky is an exercise in social change that political campaigners should pay attention to and let into your thought orbits. It appeared to happen suddenly, but it was filling people's disapproval buckets over a longer time that caused it. 1/3

Feeling reassured that engagement farming is a thing here too

I joined up here a few months back and it was sadly dead. Happy to start seeing more of the familiar faces I enjoyed seeing on the other site here. Not sure if I'll lurk and share or do more posting here yet. Will see
