The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

#BREAKING : The Australian Parliament Sports Club has just DE-REGISTERED itself as a lobby group... despite still being run by the Australian gambling lobby.
The change relieves our PM from having to explain why he's the PRESIDENT of an organisation designed to lobby HIS OWN GOVERNMENT.

I've staked some money on the latest surefire bet from Canberra.

I'm genuinely irked by the AUS Labor Govt MPs posting cringeworthy TikToks boasting about the Albanese Labor Govt. They're giving such strong ScoMo empty announcement vibes. Plus they're noticeably silent on all the things Labor ISN'T doing. Ugh. 😔 #auspol

Watching today's #HamOnt Public Works meeting and Clr. @nrindernann.bsky.social's (Thank you) motion for speed cameras it seems at least 1 councillor needs this reminder. Graphic from @tomflood.bsky.social

just a fyi lol

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41.

Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

headline in my inbox: "The War on Tylenol". Except that it isn't? It's a eugenicist war on pregnant people, blaming them and their medical caregivers for autism, which the eugenicists regard as a fate worse than death. Focusing on Tylenol hides that fact.

What was respected ABC Four Corners investigative journalist, John Lyons, doing?
Seeking truth from Trump, from the ground up.

And to the Americans on here (I know most Yanks on here aren't MAGA).

He asked questions that the Yankee journalists are now too scared to ask.

Journalism 101.

Today, 16th September 2025, will go down in history, as the day the United Nations concluded there is a GENOCIDE.

People will remember those who supported, the corrupted leaders of the west who funded this genocide in the eyes of the entire world.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.

His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

So gross 🤢
I had the displeasure of having BRS on my plane and thus had the opportunity to observe him and his interactions with people, and what I can only describe as pure arrogance and being an ‘untouchable’. I felt very sad when I realised he has two daughters who were accompanying him. 😭

Brilliant.

Two frames. 1. Man opening door marked “LIB PARTY ROOM” and looking in. Colleague holding coffees looks on. SFX: POW! OOF! APOLOGISE! WILL NOT! THUD! 2. Same place, man closes door, says to colleague, “Surprisingly, the politics of division hasn’t united them.”

Divided we stand.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Once again a @liberalaus.bsky.social failing to take responsibility for themselves. It's apparently the ABC's fault that Price parroted American conspiracy theories and attacked Australian Indian community. #auspol

Meanwhile… the rest of us are here in Parliament doing what we were elected to do

Love it. Hooked.

Bob’s choices have filled his life with joy.

Labor plans to make it harder to access government information A new proposal would introduce a fee for Freedom of Information requests and tighten the rules around the release of documents related to government deliberations.

Minister for protecting gambling is now minister for wrecking FOI

This is a very good move.
On their regular beach cleans, Surfrider Foundation (Aus, report this as one of the most collected pieces of rubbish!

Extreme weather needs proper infrastructure.
Climate Change is transforming all seasons.

BUS STOPS: key element to get people into public transit.
Cars are very expensive, over 20% personal income US/Canada.
Car to public transit? Connected • Fast • Frequent • Convenient!

You speak my language.

He was at a strip club when he met the complainant?
Way to keep your nose clean.
