I bet they’re consuming Indian MSM. There is a huge fascist bent to both Indian politics and Indian media at the moment.

I don’t suppose any of the stories about their experiences of racism included a part where the racism was being directed at them by Muslims?

Wow. Even at this point in time the Guardian are still intent on remaining genocide denialists.

ICYMI, tonight's #abc730 was even worse [from 9:25].

The genocidal rogue state's Dep Foreign Minister gets questions seemingly scripted in Tel Aviv.

Not *one* attempt to hold Israel to account.
For anything.

Zionists must be well pleased. It's #TheirABC. #auspol

I am pleased he mentioned this. On occasion I have mentioned Israel being an undeclared nuclear power, not allowing UN weapons inspectors in, to view facilities. It doesn’t follow IAEA guidelines nor the Non proliferation guidelines. Iran complies with each and every one.

I guess Mark Martinaj never got that gag order on his name and everyone knows he’s a psychopath who trapped a tiny dog and bashed it to death 😐 Maybe if the laws were adequate, people would Social Cohesion better and not go the vigilante route?

What makes it worse is that the Victorian Labor government committed to fixing our state’s broken animal protection laws 10 years ago. And they still haven’t done it.

Mark my words – because of Jacinta Allan’s inaction, there will be more outcomes like this.

MORE πŸ‘‡

FFS why has there been zero movement on animal cruelty laws in decades? Wherever people have the option they should at least give their second preference to the AJP. We need to let the major parties know that people actually care that sentencing is so out of step with community expectations.

Australian energy bills could surge as Iran conflict drives up global gas prices Experts warn of similarities with 2022, when electricity prices went up by more than 40% due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Gas companies that export πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί gas are about to make windfall profits after strikes on Iran & we have no plan to capture that value for πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

To fix this, we need a 25% tax on gas exports that would raise billions ofπŸ’²of revenue & ensure that when prices rise, πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί benefits

Why hasn’t the government condemned Israel for bombing a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, and killing hundreds of schoolgirls?

Surely they can at least stop pretending that this was what β€˜the Iranian people wanted’ πŸ™„ #auspol #IranWar

Jokes about Hasbara aside, I don’t think I’m very good at telling what’s AI unless it’s so crudely done that about 75% of people also find it obvious, so I always appreciate pointers like this!

Tsunamigenic rockslide on your desktop?

This is a scaled and simplified model of the 2017 Karrat landslide.

I think it captures the dynamics of the tsunami generation quite well, though it is of course, very simplified.

Labor talk out both sides of their face on environmental issues. Anyone- *anyone*- who believes that they have a sound environmental record is either (inexcusably?) ignorant or a gigantic ALP shill.

Reframing Dyslexia: Ancient Genes, Modern Skill Study argues to move beyond β€˜reading genes’ β€” focus on conserved neural-development networks in humans to improve early screening and identify therapeutic leads.

β€œReading is a uniquely human skill, whereas SRD genes are ancient and conserved across species”

We buy a lot less ice cream now, but there’s a few good alternatives (most are a bit more expensive and/or harder to obtain so good to check what local options you have).

Mungalli Creek
Lick Ice Cream
Pana Organic (not dairy but seriously good, esp the 🍫 )

UN chief warns of Israeli-made humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid war on Iran Crossings have been shut since Saturday as the displaced population of Gaza remains dependent on humanitarian aid.

Israel, which was already only allowing in about 50% of the necessary food supplies for Palestinians, shut the crossings to aid on Saturday (the day it started bombing Iran).
