This Sunday is the first anniversary of Janey Godley’s death. Hoping there’s a lot of #FuckTrump and #TrumpIsACunt posts in her memory @janeygodley.bsky.social

YouTube agrees to pay Trump $24.5m to settle lawsuit over account suspension Platform suspended the US president’s YouTube channel in 2021 after the January 6 Capitol riot

The corruption going on in plain sight is nothing short of astounding. This looks like a pay off for not using all the power of the US presidency to not destroy a business.

These women built their first homes for under $120k. Here’s how they did it A Facebook post offering women $55,000 to build their first home looked like a scam. But 15 women took the chance to go from homeless to home owner.

This is brilliant. Philanthropists really helping people end their homelessness.

Just being better than the previous guys is nowhere good enough. Start to think urgently and long term @jimchalmers.bsky.social @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social

Four frames. Title: “HOW TO BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY” 1. “Profits down? Workers slacking off? You need a productivity stick!” Be-suited chap whacking person at desk over the head with a stick. “Work harder!” (Whack!) Worker: “Ouch” 2.”Lack the imagination to innovate? You need an IP sucker, to monetise other people’s genius” Machine called OPEN AI like a vacuum cleaner attached to wall and to worker’s computer. Worker looks vacant. Machine goes “Chugga chugga”. 3.”Taxes eating a hole in your company profits after all that whacking and sucking? You need a tax break!” Boss in suit salutes tax man as he passes tax envelope over - while tugging string - “yoink!” - pulling bundle of cash out of envelope. 4. “Remember, productivity is all about making more from less. Just like when your workers have to water down their soup.” Scene man woman child at table with bowls, holding spoons and looking bleak.

This is exactly what Netanyahu has wanted all along - and he’s been allowed to do it all!

What an absolute disgrace.

The weakness of leaders around the world - who’ve enabled this - will be remembered for generations #auspol

Open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese MP from Australian former diplomats As pressure mounts on the Australian Government over Palestine, a group of highly respected Australians, who have represented our nation overseas, have gone straight to the top with a letter to the pr...

"We are distressed that Australia has done so little to prevent the progressive erosion of international law, the persistent armed assaults on Palestinian people, and the violation of their human rights in Gaza and the West Bank"

Step up now PM, say former diplomats.

Millionaire trophy hunter gored to death by 1.3 tonne bull on African safari Asher Watkins, 52, was tracking a 1.3 tonne Cape Buffalo bull, known as the Black Death, on Sunday when it suddenly charged at him at 35mph.

Ah that's lovely news.

University of Sydney removes Palestinian flag from academic’s window after accusing him of breaching policy Dr David Brophy claims new flag policy introduced in June was ‘precisely in response to people like me hanging Palestinian flags’

It's like we're living in 1930s Germany. And I blame you, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social. This appalling response from this uni to a sign of support for the victims of Israel's genocide of the Palestinians is on you. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

Single frame. News placard: “100000 MARCH FOR PEACE”. Grumpy man walking past in flat cap and puffy jacket, arms crossed, says, “It was a hateful, dangerous demonstration of extremists and terrorist sympathisers and I should know because I wasn’t there.”

The Morrison and then Albanese governments have provided next to no rationale for the huge #AUKUS commitment.

The strategic objectives, the cost-benefit, the likelihood of delivery...all are dodgy at best.

Yet there is ONE certainty; several ex-ministers are set to benefit personally. #auspol
