AFR headline: AMZ's cash profit slumps 14pc to $5.8b, warns of intense competition

"*warns* of intense competition"

Your regular reminder that those who cheer capitalism actually hate a free market, and want a rigged one.

Gorgeous!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Come on now, don’t you know that only Israel has the right to defend themselves?

OMG @willdalrymple.bsky.social you are on Australian TV talking about Palestinians and Gaza ❤️

In order to protect & care for the places & wildlife we love we must have stronger environmental laws, far stronger than what @australianlabor.bsky.social has proposed.

Well done, @ausconservation.bsky.social! Proud to be joining the voices calling for the @albomp.bsky.social government to do more!

Any election anywhere in the world that makes Very Serious People eat a gigantic shit sandwich, is a good day for humanity.

Fucking marvellous

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 104 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants

A ceasefire is not “fragile” when 104 people are murdered. It is over.

Do yourself a favour & read @timhollo.bsky.social's brilliant piece. He's articulated, with humour, concerns & feelings many of us share.

"It's like a 14 year old boy who's read a few meme-quotes from Sun Tzu's The Art of War and played some Dungeons and Dragons and thinks he's a strategic genius."

The three core myths driving Israel’s war on Palestine Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, one of the most outspoken moral critics within Israel itself, once summarised what he called the “three core values of Israeli society”: the belief that Jews are the ch...

Real peace would require dismantling these myths. It would mean acknowledging that no people are chosen, that no nation owns perpetual victimhood, and that every human life, Israeli or Palestinian, is of equal worth. #auspol #Israel

Raise the double standard high There is a famous quote with many attributions but no firm source – “Sincerity is the most important thing in politics: once you can fake that, you’ve got it made!”

When the killing goes on regardless of who is in power – Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Labor, Liberal – what exactly is it that democracy means? #israel #palestine

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Protect healthcare workers in conflict zones Across the world, including in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and other war-torn regions, healthcare facilities are being deliberately targeted, Nurses, midwives, doctors and aid workers risk their lives daily to deliver lifesaving care, yet they are being bombed, abducted, or killed simply for doing their jobs. These attacks violate international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, which clearly mandate the protection of civilians, medical staff, the wounded and sick, and humanitarian...

In every conflict, health workers, their patients and health infrastructure and facilities must be off limits. Stand with us to ensure health workers and their patients are #NeverATarget
