Damage control at CSIRO’s Geelong biosecurity facility The Geelong facility that stores some of the world’s most lethal diseases is long overdue an upgrade, with staff saying CSIRO funding shortages have delayed repairs planned a decade ago.

Australia’s highly complex scientific infrastructure – whether it’s Canberra’s super computer or the ACDP – is too often the casualty of political myopia, or short-termism, scientists say. satpa.pe/P1YEpOH

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

I despise him. There's another huge billboard from him on the Hume between Gundagai and Tarcutta. Looks like he hasn't given up yet.

Oh Annie, I love your review of his review! 💯

Absolutely! Not good shoes. What a waste that would be!

Or shoes? I hear throwing shoes at presidents is a thing.

I know right? It only ever seems to be about amusing the rich or finding "more efficient" ways to conduct a war.

Yeah, that's not disturbing at all! #skynet

The World Central Kitchen founder believes that the world is sleepwalking into a massive, multi-year famine, being slow-walked by the “silent” collapse of the global fertilizer trade as a byproduct of the war with Iran.

I wonder whether Australian farmer sentiments are similar. #AusPol

Please tell me I am not the only person who saw this and for a couple of seconds wondered "What's actor @christophermeloni.bsky.social been up to?"

Angus Taylor,
My mother is rapidly approaching the end of her life, in aged care. This awful time is being made easier by the tender, thoughtful care by people from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Australia. How dare you talk about ‘Australian Values’ & reboot One Nation/Trump bs about migrants.

SC Sen. Graham says pope isn’t taking threat of ‘religious Nazis’ in Iran seriously The South Carolina senator was in Rock Hill on Monday for an event with local pastors.

There are no words for Lindsey Graham. He took Trump's side against Pope Leo and then slandered our Church by claiming that Pope Leo's opposition to Trump is akin to the Church not taking the threat of Hitler seriously enough. Lindsey Graham is vile.

@jasperfforde.bsky.social is the guy to write this. Just read his Nursery Crimes series - he's all for the right to arm bears.

Me too. I pictured it as a "Muppets Take Manhattan" type of thing.

I was saying to a Catholic friend earlier today that at this point I reckon one could no longer be both a Catholic and a Republican.

I feel like people have been saying that for a year or so.

Tourists to Australia would have social media accounts vetted under Trumpian Coalition plan In hardline rhetoric, leader Angus Taylor also says ‘many’ prospective migrants would be a ‘net drain’ on the country

In case you were thinking that One Nation had cornered the racist vote in Australia. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until
they hear about this fellow called Jesus.

Does anyone have a Trump look-alike handy? We could "Dave" his arse.

War In the Middle East, Again w/ Christiane Amanpour & Amb. Wendy Sherman | The Weekly Show YouTube video by The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

@jonstewartdaily.bsky.social interviewed Ambassador Wendy Sherman on his podcast last month. She negotiated the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. It was an excellent interview, and demonstrates that there will be no quick fix here.

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

Statement from Epstein survivors in response to Melania Trump.

The man is an idiot!

I hope those tasked with committing these war crimes carefully consider their orders and their morals, and refuse. I am beyond heartbroken and exhausted by what has become of the US and her allies. The middle powers could have done more long before now. Don't you think @albomp.bsky.social? #auspol

🤢

Are @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social still drafting statements? Were people not awake last night, working on a response? Even #canavan has spoken this morning (though he didn't say a whole lot). #auspol

Not to be #itoldyouso here, but can everyone now agree that @mrkrudd.bsky.social was right about #Trump?
#auspol

I would love to see more than mfing concern from these people for once. How about some condemnation? How about consequences? Sanctions? At what point do they stand up and say "our interests are no longer aligned" or "we cannot support this"? FFS!

Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide. Article IV Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals.

Dump's post falls under Geneva Convention, articles III & IV:
a crime against humanity. And it's not only him, but the whole Trump Regime. It's what you get for not using the 25th Amendment sooner.
