So sorry, so sad. 💔

Saying that chatgpt can be used as a disability aid for ADHD is pretty much saying you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about, and don't particularly give a shit whether people get harmed.

Why should Australia (or the EU) have its hand forces to spend millions of taxpayer dollars better used on fixing issues at home, and risk ADF lives, to defend against current aggression that could likely be halted by the US and Israeli initiators simply stopping all attacks right now?

..are considered at the time? We're seeing is that the US can't protect its bases/allies.

2. What does this mean for Australia & its US bases? Can they/we expect to be a target, but not expect a well prepared defence in the case of attack on a US base?

Lots of risk associated with this pairing

The advantage of using sarcasm to implicitly criticise Trump is that he won't notice.

Me too. Super poor parents. Lived and grew up in the poorest suburbs in Sydney. Until they got that free education that is. A real success story, brought to you by #PublicServices in #Australia before #Neoliberalism.

Let's do that again, #auspol

I am always flabbergasteed that my generation allowed someone like me to get the greatest education though poor and living with a mentally ill single mother...and then my generation got every advantage and raised the ladder on our children...completely sociopathic

There was a time. My mum’s generation. She went to uni for free and even received a stipend to study. Both my parents were broke poor and they both got free uni education in Australia in the 70’s before I was born

Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Angela Macdonald-Smith Angela Macdonald-Smith Senior resources writer Mar 6, 2026 – 1.38pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 7 min Australia’s biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates. Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader on Wednesday for the sale of an LNG cargo at about $US25 ($35) per million British thermal units (MMBtu), according to market sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly.

Not a single soul on the planet happier about bloodshed, conflict, uncertainty, rising energy bills, fuel shortages and cost of living collapse than the CEO of a fossil fuel company

Bloody hell.
Another Labor disappointment.

Didn't think I could have a lower opinion of the Liberal Party but their party Review has revealed:

1️⃣ how deeply racist they are towards Indigenous people

- racism is one of the Party's "enduring principles" (left)
- their idea of "values-based arguments" (right) 1/

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

From @peterfitz1.bsky.social column this morning, take a bow @mfwitches.bsky.social 👏

After what Trump has done in the past 12 months, there is zero reason for any nation to ever agree to another deal with the USA.

You would have to be Australian Govt level of stupid to do so.

This was earlier today.

Ilhan Omar: “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability—

Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions & push the region further into chaos — every time we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction”

The IDF killed 41 people in Lebanon while trying (unsuccessfully) to recover the remains of an airman shot down 40 years ago.

Everyone losing their mind asking where is Beijing while the US & Israel are bombing a major chinese energy partner and the answer is so brutal in its simplicity that most analysts miss it completely, the empire is eating itself alive and China is already building the replacement. America just dragged the entire Middle East into a war for Israel & now Saudi arabia, UAE, kuwait & qatar are sitting in a room discussing pulling out of US contracts & canceling investment commitments. The Gulf states, the literal foundation of the petrodollar, the system that has kept the US dollar as world reserve currency since 1974 actively discussing the exit and Beijing did absolutely nothing to make that happen…Washington did it to itself. But here's what people miss: China saw this coming years ago and already laid the tracks, literally the belt & road Initiative has quietly wired 150 countries into c’hinese infrastructure, ports, railways, highways, fiber optic cables, power grids…while the western media barely covered it. Saudi Arabia started selling oil to China in yuan in 2023, that alone should have been front page news for a month, the BRICS just expanded to include Saudi arabia UAE and Iran in the same bloc, China built CIPS as a direct alternative to SWIFT so the entire non western world can settle trade without ever touching the dollar, every single one of these moves was made before a single bomb fell on Iran.

And then there's Africa…the youngest continent on earth, median age 19, projected to reach 2.5 billion people by 2050, the largest workforce the planet has ever seen & China understood 20y ago that whoever builds Africa's infrastructure owns the 21st century, while the US was spending 4 trillion dollars destroying Iraq & Afghanistan China was building railways in Kenya, dams in Ethiopia, ports in Djibouti, highways in Nigeria, tech hubs in Rwanda, stadiums, hospitals, government buildings, telecom networks powered by Huawei across the entire continent.. & they did it without firing a single bullet, no regime change, no sanctions, no lectures on democracy, just concrete steel, fiber optic and longterm contracts. So when people ask why China stays silent on Iran the answer is that silence is the strategy, every war America fights for Israel costs trillions, destabilizes energy markets, alienates Gulf partners and pushes the entire Global South closer to a system Beijing spent two decades building. The gulf states pivoting right now has zero to do with ideology, Washington turned their entire neighborhood into a warzone to serve Tel Aviv's regional strategy & then asked them to keep buying treasury bonds with a straight face….the math just stopped working and when the math stops working loyalty stops too. Beijing's silencee on Iran is the most patient & most devastating move on the board, China is watching america dismantle its own hegemony in real time while quietly inheriting every alliance washington burns, it just has to keep building & keep quiet. Napoleon said never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake, Xi turned that into a 50 year doctrine & right now it's paying off faster than even beijing expected.

This is wildly common in chronic illness because doctors are taught to cure and not treat. So they’re not flexible or imaginative and if it doesn’t work the way they were taught or expect they can’t just mark it in their win column so it’s not worth their time and now you’re making them work

Amy Remeikis was 🎯 yesterday in this piece.

With Penny Wong just flagging Australian direct military involvement in the Trump-Netanyahu illegal war against Iran, now even more relevant. #auspol

I knew immediately that this hadn't been written today.

It would be far too insightful—and honest—for Donald.

Today on #IWD I’m thinking of how a woman is murdered every 5 days by male violence. Of First Nations women being imprisoned at 25 times the rate. Of women seeking asylum in Australia being forced in poverty & homelessness.
