One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

I can’t find the CPG narrative about Gina’s money following Joyce. They know, right?

Get involved!

Happy Earth Day 🌱

Individually, our actions feel small. But when we organize our friends, families, and neighbors, we can build something powerful.

Here are 5 ways from @SierraClub that you can help build a more livable future this #EarthDay! share.sierraclub.org/s/oqEdqDLy

Palantir is evil.

Destroy it and everyone who works for it, protects it, supports it and uses it.

I've been a fiction writer for a long time. Yes, I'm old.

I've also spent years studying emotional intelligence. Yes, I was (once?) emotionally dumb. A stoic.

Emoti-dumb.

The question that keeps coming up: When a scene feels wrong, and you know it without being able to say why, what is that?

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.

This dog rescue had a slumber party night where volunteers got to sleep with a dog up for adoption!

This is the kind of place I’d donate my time and money to.

This is a very good article on the devastation that is already locked in. The Mad Mango man and his conservative cohorts of grifting billionaires are responsible. Never forget it.

A few more photos of Adelaide's grey-headed flying-foxes for International Bat Appreciation Day (17 April).
The last photo shows one drinking water off its chest after dipping into the river.

Israeli Chief of Staff allows soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian detainee to return to duty.

On 5 July 2024, five Israeli soldiers at the Sde Teiman military facility raped a handcuffed, blindfolded Palestinian detainee from Gaza with a sharp object inserted into his anus, resulting in broken ribs, a punctured lung, and internal rectal tears.

The IDF has allowed 5 Israeli soldiers who raped a Palestinian detainee from #Gaza at Sde Teiman military facility to resume duty. The rape was filmed. Israeli PM Netanyahu described the IDF soldiers as "heroes". The charges against them were dropped on "procedural" grounds. #IsraeliTerrorism

Yes indeed. The poor form of some leaders in tbe world just now.

Yes… so did Anthony Albanese.

I agree with the sentiment. For a promise of open and accountable government, it’s a fail.

ABC lost it a few years ago. Too late to change, the culture of independence has gone. Sell it. At least get some return for the taxpayer. It is failing its charter on every level.

Media thing from years ago when some people in the media tried to come up with a theory that Dan Andrews was somehow responsible for a car accident and a bike

BREAKING
Daily Telegraph and SkyNews Australia team investigating how Dan Andrews caused Viktor Orban to lose the election in Hungary

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

The text says: Orban was also a source of lavish grants and speaking gigs, ultimately paid for by long-suffering EU taxpayers. That’s all over now. Those who have taken those gigs will come under a lot more scrutiny. In Australia they include Tony Abbott, Alexander Downer, Brian Loughnane (former Liberal national director), Greg Sheridan and many less prominent but highly influential figures.

Good piece by John Quiggin on the ousting of Orban, including this observation:

Dear Viktor,
I hope this fax finds you well.
Sorry to hear about your loss in the Hungarian election, but as they say ‘shit happens’.
I have spoken to Peta Credlin and we both agree that the best strategy for future elections is for your party to become even more right wing.

Chris Bowen reminds the media it was Labor in 2023 who put the law in place for fuel reserves to be kept in Australia after “4 refineries closed” under the Coalition.
“It hadn’t happened until then”
“If I was the Liberal Party, I’d stay pretty quiet about these matters.”🔥 #auspol
