It is probably not helpful for the Iranian women soccer players -or, more to the point, their families back in Iran - for there to be this level of media coverage around them.

Don't make them a cause célèbre which the regime feels it must respond to.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

Families Deserve to Thrive | ASRC February Appeal Your donation empowers people seeking asylum to build independent lives through education, training and employment pathways. Give today to help families move from surviving to thriving.

Just reading about how the ASRC was robbed over the weekend and their power shut off, meaning they have had to throw out a dumpster's-worth of food. If people could chip in a buck or two to help them recover, it would be good:

The working class pay the price when political β€œ leaders” abandon principles, and fail to call out the madness consuming the US and Israeli regimes.
The political elite will not bear the brunt of rising prices, unaffordable petrol, food and electricity embattled Aussies will!

Screenshot of a news article from The Post titled β€œRepeatedly getting Covid doesn’t build immunity, β€˜it’s more like accumulating damage’,” written by Melanie Earley of RNZ and dated March 10, 2026. Below the headline is a portrait of leading vaccinologist and associate professor Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, shown facing the camera against a dark background. The article discusses how repeated COVID-19 infections may cause cumulative harm rather than building lasting immunity.

If you run a drug treatment service, why not include some help for smokers to quit? So many people struggling with problems from drugs also smoke. Shown that get better results from drug treatment if quit smoking at same time @ianamossyd.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social

Five Iranian women footballers granted asylum by Australia, Donald Trump says US president says Australian PM Anthony Albanese has given police protection to the players amid fears they could be punished on their return home

Giving asylum to Iranian women’s football team members is the right thing to do. But raises questions:

- why didn't the govt move as fast to assist Australian citizens, including children, stuck in Syria?

- why is Trump again running Australian policy? #auspol

Five Iranian women football players are being protected by Qld police after making a daring escape from their handlers to avoid being sent back to their home country. I hope the AUS Govt does the right thing by these women. Sadly, I don't trust Albo or Wong at all. #auspol #WAC2026

There's footage been released of crowds running alongside the Iranian women's team bus in Australia and they're chanting "save our girls" I'm really a fucking state over this now.
