Foreign Minister Wong. What do you say about this? Foreign Relations are in your wheelhouse

Jewish fundamentalists increase attempts to smuggle animals into Al-Aqsa Mosque for sacrifice Extremist Jewish leaders, including several government ministers, aim to demolish Islam's third-holiest site and build a temple there to prepare for the messiah's arrival

This would *almost* be funny if it wasn't so unutterably grotesque.

They are fundamentalist conservatives in that they have adopted a time honored device as a weapon of war.

I wonder what The Messiah thinks of rape.

And yet they are platformed daily as though anything they think or do is relevant to anything at all.

The United States has vetoed Palestine’s bid for full UN membership, stating the UN is not the venue for recognition of a Palestinian state.

Their representative clarified that Palestinian statehood is something that can only be ratified unilaterally by Palestine's mortal enemy:

Israel.

“Apartheid Israel has created a torturous environment for millions of people” Francesca Albanese YouTube video by UN Palestinian Rights Committee

"On 24 March 2026, addressing the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Francesca Albanese frames the statement as both a moral indictment and an appeal for urgent action."

The real difficulty is that they have to hide the fact that a few drones will be far more effective than the submarines they are committed to.

We are investing in horse and cart technology when we need an EV.

Never-mind, Anus will fix all this up by stopping immigrants from posting shit on Facebook.

Coral reefs are nearing extinction. 2026 must mark a turning point | Jason Momoa At 1.5C of global warming, up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost. The next few months could be a defining moment

This is a nice (by which I mean awful) example of performative environmentalism from Mamoa. An impassioned lament about a preventable ecological catastrophe that fails to mention the main cause or solution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Pic shows a drawing of Diogenes an ancient Greek philosopher.

@nickydebolt.bsky.social I just saw your reference to Stoicism and thought you might like this, if you have not already read it;

Cynicism a precursor to Stoicism.

'Antisemitism' directive exposes Australia to Israeli interference, public servants warn Public service adoption of IHRA definition may endanger national security

It’s Segal who is the anti-Semite.

In her attempt to godwash Israel's perverted, murderous geopolitical ambitions she desecrates the religion she purports to defend.

She provides an opportunity for real anti-Semites and is thus herself an anti-Semite, a Nazi.

Meghan and Harry smile and wave. "See ya suckers" they say.

Could be worse. Given how often Harry seemed to turn up in Australia, I thought at one point that we might again become the dumping ground for English toffs too embarrassing to keep at home, and he'd end up here permanently. Luckily, the US seems to have received that particular "honour".

I was also a teacher - more than 40 years.

When I had almost been driven to despair I was headhunted by an ex student, then a manager, to teach adolescents who were all victims of abuse. Mostly indigenous and all of whom had been expelled by the mainstream.

This was my best and last position.

And stay away.

Is there anywhere in Sydney they didn't go for a photo/flogging their wares opportunity 🤔🤔 Am so delighted that I missed them & they can go away.

Ahh, the triple joy.

Youth, celebrity and very very wealthy indeed.

The US is a very profitable military industrial complex that employs a two dimensional, papier mache facade that looks quite a bit like a government if you squint and turn sideways

This facade is useful for propoganda and amusement but little else.

In the next political cycle it will be removed

Scum

I was allowed to chose whatever I wanted to study and chose a classical education that one could not get now.

I was very lucky to have teachers who used the Socratic method and taught me how to learn not what to learn.

Fifteen or sixteen so probably years eleven and twelve.

I barely remember my own birthday but my head is full of Latin and Greek.

You are exactly right.

One law for the poor, no laws for the rich.

I know that feeling.

When it strikes me I have a nice cup of sulphuric acid (with milk and two) and amputate several limbs.

This always sets a positive note for a new day.

There is one 'leader' lounging in a gilded palace but that, apparently, is ok.
