I might be quiet for a bit because my social media accounts have been receiving increased hate for being so outspoken about Indigenous issues, and some of them, particularly on Instagram, have been threatening in nature.

I'm considering reporting them to the police.

Take care.

Don't be racist.

Let’s be fair, it’s also a platform for creating, distributing and selling child sexual abuse material.

I’d take the L.

Someone who lives in that part of the world is telling you how that part of the world works.

Centre Indigenous women, on International Women's Day, and every other day.

Calling for Zohran Mamdani to resign because Rama Duwaji liked posts saying "globalise the Intifada" and other calls for resistance on or around the 7th of October 2023. He also told him to file for divorce.

Israel's propaganda machine is claiming she "celebrated" the killings on the 7th.

The human race would probably achieve world peace if Michael Rapaport shut the fuck up.

Also, I’m not American, I don’t have my finger on the U.S. electorate opinion pulse and could be talking out of my backside, but it’s a gut feeling.

There’s no way of knowing because the primaries are so far away, but I get the feeling Gavin Newsom is peaking early (if he is thinking of running).

I suspect it isn’t going to be any of the names talked about by most pundits at the moment, I think it’ll be Jon Ossoff or someone like him.

Two people in custody after 'suspicious devices' found outside NYC mayor's official residence The anti-Islam protest was led by right-wing influencer Jake Lang. It's not clear whether New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was in Gracie Mansion at the time.

Happy to know that our Mayor and First Lady are safe, but horrified that there was such a disturbing threat of violence outside their residence.

Vile displays of Islamophobia will never be tolerated in our city.

Yackandandah Hotel The Yackandandah Hotel has been part of this town for well over 100 years. A classic country pub with plenty of stories, cold beer, and familiar faces.

If you’re having a look around regional Victoria, I can recommend the Yack Hotel.

Lovely venue, taste food, the outdoor dining is very nice.

Great small town pub.

Having dinner at the Yack Hotel and there’s a Ukrainian wedding (or the reception for it) happening at the same.

Beautiful display of love and culture.

I love this multicultural country of ours!

It is naive to think his expansionist desires would stop if he succeeded in claiming all of Ukraine, yes.

Israel blatantly has the same ambitions for the Middle East as Russia has for Europe: to expand its territory to create Greater Isreal, like Putin wants the USSR territories back under Russian control.

Israel is showing off about it, and the world is just letting them.

Good for Ed Miliband - who’s also doing far more than the Torygraph, the Tories or Farage to insulate the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices, lately driven up by Trump’s war with Iran

I'm assuming the Telegraph editors meant the headline to be deeply anti-Miliband even though almost everyone else is going to read it and think "Go Ed!"

Reports coming out of the UK confirming that Ed Miliband is still based.

I’ve overheard several conversations today about how much and how quickly petrol prices are going up in the area.

Inevitably someone in the conversation brings out the good old Australian sarcasm: β€œthanks Trump.”

Two of my favourite Kiwis are talking about the rumour that PM Chris Luxon is going to resign or be replaced due to poor polling.

When they said β€œliberate the people of Iran” they meant liberate them from life.

He’s so fun!

I’ve got his latest album, I’m after his first one. I’ve listened to it on steaming apps, but I like physical copies of music (and movies and shows) that I really like.

That’s exactly what happened.

The No campaign basically replicated Steve Bannon’s β€œflood the zone with shit” - and most of the shit was anti-Indigenous - and overwhelmed the Yes campaign.

Hopefully you don’t see the same there.
