USA. JD Vance: Sending ICE Billions Is More Important Than Your Grandma’s Medicaid. The vice president would like people to see the bigger picture. You & your unphotogenic grandma aren't in it.

Here's me. "WMD 2.0 is so half-arsed, be embarrassed for people falling for it"
With two excellent new cartoons from @fionakatauskas.bsky.social. Peace.
Don't buy the trash. Over-rated and overpriced.
Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine
So I guess we shouldn’t make this go viral.
Morning. ☕️
This.

Classic. Walls protect private property, public beach access is lost.
Results of decades denying climate change and stupid debates where leaders fail to lead.
Like allowing buildings in flood zones or approving gas emission projects with few $ for Aust.
Fails public private benefit test.

I think there’s been a more recent bout of quiet quitting of X. It feels emptier and more boring now.
I’ve stayed on there because, well, I cover it. But without ever intending to, I’ve started only checking it once or twice a day, and barely posting, for no other reason than it feels pointless.
Will it take a first nations push back to save us from this? I hope so.

We must not let these things be forgotten. Along with Barnaby’s stated opinion that if you’re a Greens voter, it doesn’t matter if you burn to death in a bushfire. This is the moral vacuum of the climate deniers.
"A little over three years ago, in front of the full bench of the Federal Court, lawyers for Sussan Ley argued she had no responsibility to protect young people from the catastrophe of climate change."

Eurovision winner JJ calls for Israel's exclusion from song contest over war in Gaza

NEW: The UK Government sent a spy plane to surveil Gaza last night, just hours after Foreign Secretary David Lammy called Israel's actions in the region "monstrous"
The RAF has conducted hundreds of surveillance flights near Gaza since 2023

The Israeli government is committing genocide—one of the greatest evils known to humankind—in Gaza.
Executing unarmed non-combatants is evil.
Not only are both these statements true, they’re synergistic—part of the same humanist philosophy.
I condemn the Israeli government _and_ the DC assassin.
Husic’s exit should not be the end of the story. It should be the start of a long-overdue reckoning with how we fund, organise and govern innovation in a nation that likes to think of itself as clever – but too often chooses comfort over courage.

Great countries have great institutions but Australian universities are a mess.
@joshuablackjb.bsky.social & @jack-thrower.bsky.social discuss the huge cost of going to university & the serious governance concerns about the sector. #auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/failing...
Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.
Littleproud is an ingrate, who was handed the safest seat in the country because his Father Brian was a long serving State National Party MP (in the days of Joh). He has NEVER had to work to keep his seat. He is the quintessential useless Nepo-Baby.

More than 700K Americans died from COVID after he wrote this. We still have not achieved herd immunity.
"I have resisted going as far as you have done in your criticism of the Israeli government. I resist no more... we are in agreement."
Piers Morgan to me on his show today. I cited retired Israeli general Yair Golan saying Israel is now killing babies as a hobby.

Exactly.
The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites.
And it's being slowly destroyed.
If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga.
