2026 may or may not become the hottest year on record, but it’s already a contender for the stupidest

Two states of bullshit - The Shot The broken logic, morality and impracticalness of the Hasbaric “two-state solution” should be apparent to anyone cursed to own a phone.

Here's me. "Two states of bullshit"

Live: Thousands march in nationwide action against war in Gaza Thousands of protesters are taking part in a nationwide day of action against the ongoing war in Gaza. Follow live.

'Organisers have told us today's demonstration marks the 97th consecutive rally held for Palestine in the city' of Melbourne/Naarm.

Aussie unions don’t beat around the bush.

Some photos of the massive crowd marching today in #Canberra for a #FreePalestine. End the occupation, End the starvation. End the genocide.

Several of the speakers are reminding us that the Australian govt would not have changed its positions without pressure from the public. Keep pushing in whatever way you can.

Huge turnout for Palestine at Civic Square in Canberra. The people stand against genocide even if the fly-in crowd at Parliament House won't #FreePalestine

Non lethal f35 parts my ass

Bit of a weird thing to post but I'm now a Justice of the Peace for the ACT. So if you're trans & you have to get docs certified that have the wrong name/gender on them (or you don't wanna go to the cop shop) - message me. I can't change it, but I won't judge. #Canberra #queer #trans #lgbtqia

‘Cruel joke’: tax concession drives donations to Australia’s richest private schools and must stop, critics argue Eleven private schools received more than $3m from donors in 2023, topped by St Aloysius’ College in Sydney with $9.1m

Plenty of public schools in Canberra have demountables instead of permanent buildings, but Canberra Girls Grammar received nearly $4m in tax-deductible donations in 2023.

Why are we subsidising swimming pools for private schools instead of fully funding education for every student?

‘I asked chat gpt’ ‘I asked grok’ ok well I asked a group of autistic people assuming one of them would have it in their special interest

Which root vegetable do we put out for the death of the coalition? I want to pay the appropriate disrespect #auspol

PowerPoint slide that says: “does America do it, if yes, then no”

Just passing along some friendly advice on how to approach potential changes to the Australian health care system @drruthmitchell.bsky.social

Combative NDIA’s ‘appalling’ impacts In its efforts to cut costs, the agency running the NDIS has taken an adversarial approach that has left participants exhausted and independent reviewers appalled.

National Disability Insurance Agency's legal brinkmanship is back with a cost-saving fervour and emboldened by significant legislative changes. But tribunal has accused them of ignoring potential harm, belligerence and an adversarial approach against duty. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/economy...

Nice speech by Albo, would be good if Labor actually followed through - stop funding new fossil fuels, restructure Medicare and the NDIS to make sure we all have the care we need, and ensure a roof over everyone's head.

You've got a majority, show some courage and get reforming. #AusVotes2025

BREAKING: The Liberal Party chaser.com.au/national/spu...

The ABC panel feels like some sort of elaborate public humiliation ritual for the Libs. Beautiful. #BinNight #AusVotes2025

HELL YEAH JESSIE PRICE IN BEAAAANNNNN #AusVotes2025

Get fried, potato. #AusVotes2025

Watching the ABC coverage with a bunch of mates and James McGrath's hilarious total denial is completely making up the entertainment factor now the graphics have failed. #AusVotes2025

This is devastating for so many people. IHCO was one of the few remaining bulk billing clinics in CBR with long appointments and complex care expertise (+gender affirming care!). We need Medicare reform so models like this are actually viable. @davidpocock.bsky.social

Oh look. Equality Australia, an Australian LGBTQIA+ advocacy organisation, have published a travel advisory for the US. equalityaustralia.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/...

Had to say goodbye to sweet Alaska a couple of weeks ago among a bunch of other rotten shit going in my life. Her last days were spent harassing the cats, eating treats and watching real housewives of an evening, which is a pretty chill way to go.

Awesome, keen for the official launch. I was just asking Jessie Price in Bean to clarify her stance on trans and intersex rights and she's supportive on both counts.

This time, I'm thinking of making little pickle nuclear rods for something...

My trick to enjoying election season is to spend it devising awful politics themed cocktails for election night. Last election, I ended up surprisingly enjoying the Engadine Macca's - a corona with a shot of pickle juice and vodka.

Devastating to see hundreds more Palestinian civilians killed overnight.

We can’t stand silent in the face of so many women and children continuing to be murdered like this.
