As someone who got on here for the first time in a week, said something, got into an argument with some arsehole who doesnโ€™t understand the value of human life, and still canโ€™t understand why people are so selfish and horrible, this is why I only get on here once a week. Love you all ๐Ÿ’œ

โ€ฆsitting at our table. I was next to them and heard them say:
โ€œDo you know this song?โ€
โ€œNo, but everybody else seems to know this songโ€
Then they danced in their seats and looked really happy. ๐Ÿ’œ

In 1993, my sister and I stayed at a youth hostel in Salzburgโ€ฆrun by expat Australians at the time. They made three kinds of schnitzel and served lots of beer then played music. One night Khe Sanh came on & everyone jumped on tables and chairs and sang alongโ€ฆexcept the American and Canadianโ€ฆ

Also, why yes I have had some wine, but I met Jimmy at the Hobart press conference during the Australian Made concert in 1986/87 and he was so lovely and incredibly polite and at the time I found that weird given his reputation but now I just think heโ€™s a nice bloke ๐Ÿ’œ

Jane, as an old gen Xer who watched your husband smash up the Countdown Awards like the worst โ€˜anarchistโ€™ weโ€™d ever known can I just say how lovely it is to see you, him and all your extended family being wonderful and loving alwaysโ€ฆanarchy at its bestโ€ฆ

We all know what is happening in Gaza. So both AUS PM Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong are also fully aware. Yet they choose NOT to use terms like "murder", "war crimes", "ethnic cleansing" or "genocide". They choose NOT to condemn or sanction Israel. #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Just War Theory and the Philosophers of Gaza Philosophers have long tried to develop clear moral principles to govern the conduct of warfare. Here's why they're engaged in a fierce debate over Gaza.

At some point you have to stop arguing abstract points and acknowledge the horrid reality. ๐Ÿ˜ช

The most cogent recent 'thing' I've seen discussing the abstract plus the reality of this horrid 'war' (it isn't one, really) is here:

Oh Lou I just canโ€™t with people who want to argue about degrees of genocide and Hamas and โ€˜human shieldsโ€™ bullshit when tens of thousands of babies are already dead and tens of thousands more are dying.

Your 3:1 ratio is bullshit dude. And citizenship doesnโ€™t matter when everyone in Gaza is being targeted even when theyโ€™re starving and trying to get food. Just because the genocide hasnโ€™t been completed yet doesnโ€™t make it not genocide. Ask the UN.

Yeah see I think itโ€™s an affront to victims of the Shoah that you donโ€™t. And the Jewish people who speak loudly against the genocide clearly happening right now agree.
And I canโ€™t believe you used a 3:1 ratio as somehow proof that youโ€™re right and everyone who cares about humanity is wrong.

And donโ€™t even get me started on convicted rapists who think they have the right to remain in parliament even though they are in jail bc they have been convicted of rape.

When everything Israel is doing to Palestinians is what Nazi Germany did to Jews, and everything Trumpโ€™s America is doing to everyone who isnโ€™t a rich straight white dude is based on Nazi Germanyโ€ฆI think we can agree that the world is fucked in the head.

Netanyahu aims to fully control Gaza despite warnings of mass death Israeli PM needs security cabinet to approve plan amid opposition from aid agencies and families of hostages

No one still supporting Israel deserves a role in public life.

Everyone still supporting Israel rejoices in the murder of children.

And to sum up, if you are actually going to deny people the right to protest on the basis that there may be a โ€œcrowd crushโ€ you have no idea what democracy means and therefore have no right to tell others how to do democracy. Seriously, this is like a cartoon.

I mean, I donโ€™t know, but if you canโ€™t protest against the deliberate starvation of an entire population of people, what is even the point of calling yourself a democracy?

A system that allows a convicted criminal rapist tyrannical traitor to gain full totalitarian control of the U.S. govt without so much as a guardrail in place to protect us from him and his deranged destructive immoral corrupt agenda is a highly flawed and broken system.

Approximately 250,000 people marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2003 to protest against Australia's involvement in the Iraq War.
