See every Western gov everywhere in recent memory.

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

"The simple fact is that Israeli actions endanger all of us, including Jews. Because what Israel is doing claims to in our name, in my name. And believe me when I say it is not in my name."

Thank you to advisory committee member, Antony Loewenstein for speaking out at last night's rally

Just because you use caps doesn't mean it's true. The data on social media is messier than that. It also doesn't follow that a blanket ban is workable or the solution even then.

I can't speak to ease of getting around it etc, but it's really only been frustrating for our fam. It's meant a reshuffle of music streaming services and being unable to decide what our daughter can listen to.

Absolute banger of a video. Gets dark. But well worth the time.

Is it a substack style thing? Assuming it's so far doing things better than that, hence you're trying?

Like I don't understand the maths/business case if it's not more viable for small artists to be able sell digital DLs themselves if physical media is prohibitive.

I have no answer as to why but occasionally find similar things with music. Different albums from the same artist coming and going from diff streaming service, and more strangely in some cases no way to buy direct from artist.

Thank you! Was ringing bells and I couldnt nail it.

ffs.

Nba app showing who advances when hide scores is on

@nba.com why the heck does the league pass app show "x advances" while I'm hiding scores? What's the point of hiding the score without hiding that? #huh

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, world’s top scholars on the crime say Almost 90% of leading academics on subject back resolution stating that Israel’s actions meet legal definition An overwhelming majority of members of the world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has backed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime. Eighty-six percent of those who voted in the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) supported the motion. The resolution states that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948).” Continue reading...

I would also say that its pretty easy to get a decent sense of browsers pretty quick, even without signing in etc. So just spend an arvo and download and try a bunch.

I've been browser hopping and trying stuff on windows and linux. Vivaldi has some stuff I really liked. The dash/email integration was potentially cool, but not quite there. otherwise, it was fine, good looking, some good options.

It's easily intelligible, but still mildly perturbing, that Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism has said nothing about the National Socialist Network & the March for (White) Australia.

(I don't think this silence is a good way to Advance combating antisemitism, racism or xenophobia.)

Thanks(?) 😉

I'm not familiar with either, but my spidey sense is telling me I won't like what I find if I become familiar.

I didn't think it was possible to get kicked off twitter anymore? well well.

Ffs. Etc.

So many tabs.

This is Amnesty International, the most reputable human rights group in the world. No one can say they didn’t know.

If I'm not mistaken, it was the family home in Transparent. Not 100% sure.

Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-Prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

“The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence.”

Lol, I was all like why is Michael Hobbes in my Bball list, and there it is.. @sethpartnow.bsky.social and Howard beck consistently cross pollinating my feeds. 😂😉👍

It is a political open goal to go after these companies. They’re unsympathetic, disconnected from humanity, their leaders are charmless and bland pseudo-people with a flimsy attachment to reality and nothing to lose. Run them into the ground - people love technology, but they hate the tech industry.
