Which is why we're going to use police powers to stop a person’s welfare payment before any court process. Just like Jesus would have wanted.

There's a headline: "Israeli forces surround Palestinian hospital and refugee camp in West Bank" in @australia.theguardian.com this morning, going on to report the Israeli defense minister saying this is “a shift in … security strategy.” Weak as piss. #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

How the Israel lobby tries to silence criticism of Israel - Pearls and Irritations There’s a long history of the Zionist lobby pressuring, bullying and cajoling critics of Israel and they’re now upping their tactics.

"The Australian mainstream media have failed abysmally to heed the call to arms that the persecution of Mary Kostakidis represents, exactly as they did in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange."

Too often, they are power's megaphone.

The US war on terror strikes home - Pearls and Irritations Two fatal events in the US shocked on 1 Jan, one quickly called ‘Islamist terrorism’ while US supports Muslim terrorist groups in Syria.

Australia and our allies should decide who are the real terrorists, stop arming Israel, support the International Court and stop supporting the ‘forever war’ on terrorism too. #auspol

SMH right to criticise previous Govts selling off precious public land, but it’s a far more widespread failing than just school land.
As cities change & inevitably increase in density, crucial to retain public land for flexibility & future public use

How to Watch the Spectacular Quadrantids Meteor Shower Tonight

Typical of their biased reporting.
Areas being drier than average and wetter than average are in line with predictions of climate change and good journalism would require they talk about that.
Climate change is a major issue and should be in all climate related stories.

Food producers battle as parts of South Australia record driest year Some regions in South Australia have had the lowest rainfall since records began, according to a preliminary Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) report.

Yet another story about climate records broken with disastrous consequences
...with ZERO mention of human-induced global heating.

Is Australia's public broadcaster sponsored by the fossil fuel lobby?
Or just incompetent? #auspol

How many crimes are committed by people wearing hoodies to hide their identity?
Where's the ban on hoodies?
This is just a populist rant.

The Arctic Tundra’s Tragic Transformation On carbon sinks, the Malibu fire, and monarch butterflies

The Arctic tundra is now emitting more carbon dioxide than it is absorbing thanks to thawing permafrost and wildfires, per NOAA.

This means the tundra is no longer a carbon sink, as it has been for thousands of years, but a carbon source.

Done, dusted, after a grotesque pantomime. We'll be discussing this scandal in detail next week in a special edition @theguardian.com's Football Weekly podcast.

Colorful layered, water sculpted sandstone in the Nevada desert taken back in 2011.

In specific, Jesse Singal has distributed private medical information on Bluesky without the consent of the patient [5]. It is plainly obvious that Singal’s decision to use this platform to share private medical information is in violation of the first rule of Bluesky’s Community Guidelines: “Don’t use Bluesky Social to break the law or cause harm to others,” further clarified as “For example, do not: Steal or distribute others’ private personal information without their permission” [6]. Although the legality of Singal’s involvement in obtaining this private medical information has been debated, the information Singal uploaded in an image directly to Bluesky on December 8th is nonetheless private personal information that was distributed over Bluesky without the express permission of the owner of that information [7]. This is not denied by Singal, as he claims the information is not identifying (although this claim was made by himself and not by a reputable news organization), but he acknowledges that the information was obtained from medical records without consent of that patient [8]. In light of the repeated flagrant violations of Bluesky Community Guidelines by a user who has already been correctly suspended twice for separate Terms of Service violations, we ask Bluesky to permanently enforce its Community Guidelines against Jesse Singal. This is necessary to preserve public and professional trust in Bluesky going forward and to protect the privacy of members of the general public who have been harmed by actions that were conducted through abuse of this platform.

Just signed this petition - If Bluesky doesn't enforce its community guidelines then it's on a straight line pathway to becoming just as bad as X.

Please sign too if you don't think cracking open the door to hate here is a desirable thing. Transphobia isn't welcome

The other reason Dutton hates the other two flags, apart from his racism, is that they were raised to official status under Keating. The LNP *burns* with an eternal flame to undo every progressive initiative, to the beginning of time.
