Chris Hedges: The Last Days of Gaza consortiumnews.com/2025/06/10/c...

When even Thomas Friedman calls out the atrocities perpetrated in Gaza by the Israeli govt one has to wonder why the Australian Zionist lobby has not expressed any criticism in 20 months of slaughter & destruction. Israeli Government Is a Danger to Jews Everywhere www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/o...

The evidence that China currently presents a direct military threat to Australia amounts to precisely zero. However, to the extent to which we treat China as an enemy state, it will surely become one. #auspol #chinathreat

Boy multimillionaires are good at getting media when they feel sad about government tax policy Imagine if we reported on the feelings of young people who are worried coal and gas expansion will cause catastrophic climate change the way we reported on the crocodile tears of the wealthiest 0.5%…

As the Canadian government pushes AI adoption at virtually any cost, this recent report out of Australia comes to mind, where public servants are wary because they’ve seen first hand the consequences of poorly considered AI rollout.

STUDY found that “the growing number of SUVs reduced the vehicle capacity of freeway lanes in Minnesota’s Twin Cities by 9.5% between 1995-2019. Their findings suggest yet another way in which ‘car bloat’ exacerbates problems that affect everyone, regardless of how they travel.” Plus more deaths…

The People vs. The Abyss: The Sarajevo Declaration of the Gaza Tribunal mondoweiss.net/2025/06/the-...

When two friends started a campaign to stop Tesla from building a battery recycling factory in their small Australian city, they suspected that strong views about the company’s billionaire boss might help sway opinion. But they had no idea how far anti-Elon Musk sentiment had spread beyond the US

On this day in 1975, Syd Barrett made a surprise visit to Abbey Road as Pink Floyd played back “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”—the tribute written about him. Shaved head, no eyebrows, and nearly unrecognizable, he appeared like a ghost from their past... and quietly vanished again.
