It’s cute here in Brisbane that the police have banned the Story Bridge walk for peace this weekend, but their ‘safety’ argument seems a little sketchy when it was perfectly fine to close the bridge to traffic for a cycling race and a marathon in recent months…

There used to be demand for arsenic as a colour dye too, what a weak argument from those Woodside sellouts

So @australianlabor.bsky.social is straight up approving Woodside like a good little LNP. A shameful start to this new govt, their legacy is looking woeful as the Minister for Gas Industry Interests sells out the environment and First Nations history for common corporate greed at the first hurdle 🤯

I might rewatch Loot instead, Maya Rudolph as a crazy billionaire but trying to make the world a better place in her own unique way, with a fabulous inclusive cast to boot. Rowling would hate it!

Pauline Hanson once again reminding us that the real election race is always for the vote last box

three panel cartoon by @emilyscartoons.bsky.social … in the first panel one person says "let's not talk about politics any more, I can't bear it" and the other person replies "same." in the second panel, they say nothing. in the third panel, the first person yells "THE THING IS THOUGH" and the second person yells back "THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS"

literally every time I talk to friends

Can you spare a minute to help Ali Saoirse? Demand Spotify Remove Andrew Tate’s Harmful Courses on How to Traffic Women

Spotify is cashing in on the exploitation of women. The platform is hosting courses by misogynist influencer and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate - courses that actively teach men how to manipulate, control, and profit by exploiting women. Please sign the petition thanks chng.it/vt2YRqLcgh

Where was the board’s conviction that the decision making process should hold up to scrutiny? Their job is to ensure governance is followed, so was that not the case here?

If you agree that medical decisions should be made between professionals and individuals rather than politicians, please sign this petition: www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-...

Not one journalist asked Dutton for examples of the greens 'spewing hate', nor why he feels they are on the same level as nazibois.

Media, it's your job to push back and get to the facts.

There are many examples of Dutton however, spewing hatred #auspol

Point taken, but if those nazi shitheads do get inspired to also jump into a billabong and remove themselves from the equation, I won’t be mad

Always astute, this is a sobering read from @amyremeikis.bsky.social and her assessment of Dutton is so on point it’s like micro needling for your brain

And if someone was to miraculously do it by accident, it helps to not be the type of person that people would assume did it on purpose… that move is not ‘on brand’ for most of the human race

I think everyone I follow, and many I don’t, shared the headline on Threads as well… you’re truly dominating the non-dominant platforms!

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Apparently my new Bluesky hobby is blocking follows from p*rnbots named Sarah 🙄

And that billionaire is most likely to be Mackenzie Scott

It would be great if media could stop reporting every brain fart from a billionaire and just cover the singular, slightly helpful point that one of them potentially makes every year… like Groundhog Day or something. We could have a parade!

Has anyone told them that breathing is for girls?

So true… but also don’t the MAGA folk not care about pandemics and the like? Sounds like a weird tactic for the anti-masker/vaxxer, pro-ivermectin/bleach crowd to really get behind

The question sending shockwaves through Hollywood: How did Blake Lively get those damaging texts? In a Dec. 24 lawsuit, the founder of a publicity firm that represented actor Justin Baldoni effectively outed herself as the source of texts. She disavows involvement.

What an absolutely bullshit headline and condemnation of Hollywood culture, that it’s the access to receipts sending the “shockwaves”, not the harassment.

I love that’s still a thing! Also makes me remember my Dad with his classic 80s moustache racing out some tallies to thank the garbage men doing the xmas day run

Who Trolled Amber? <p>What comes to mind when you think of Amber Heard? Liar? Survivor? Narcissist? Millions of us watched the celebrity trial of the century, Depp v Heard, in 2022. Amber Heard lost and Johnny Depp was ...

If you’re wondering how the social media campaign worked against Blake Lively so damn fast, I recommend bingeing this brilliant and quite chilling podcast from UK journalist Alexi Mostrous: www.tortoisemedia.com/listen/who-t...

The contrast being shutting down a domestic violence charity night and Steven Bradbury literally saving girls from drowning is sending me

Olympic hero's bravery award for ice-cool surf rescue Steven Bradbury has received a bravery award for saving four girls from rough surf, more than 20 years after his Olympic gold medal.

Sure, you can sue the venue raising money for a domestic violence charity during one of the worst years for women being murdered or you can be like Steven Bradbury saving girls from drowning — Raygun is the worst kind of accidental Olympian 🙄

Olympic hero's bravery award for ice-cool surf rescue Steven Bradbury has received a bravery award for saving four girls from rough surf, more than 20 years after his Olympic gold medal.

While some accidental Olympic celebrities threaten comedians and venues with legal action for presenting cute cabarets TO RAISE MONEY FOR A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARITY in a year where dozens of women have been murdered, others risk their lives to save girls from drowning – Steven Bradbury would never!

They’re fun in open plan offices too

If only governments could have a ‘not making things so shitty that people need to protest about often quite reasonable things like human rights and not cooking the planet’ pledge instead

So Trump’s legacy can be all the people who died when he let the the pandemic run free and… polio. The Felon in Chief/President Polio really is bad for your health!

Friend: What have you been up to this weekend?
Me: I went on a “non-personalised activation journey” with my superannuation company!
Friend: and your skin is absolutely glowing, your soul radiates life and joy!
