Picture of a news headline: Littleproud says Iranian footballers shouldn’t bring the values of tyranny into the country. Not pictured, the gigantic flaccid penis, emerging from his head while he spoke.

Could this guy be any more of a fuckwit?

Yeah, but Tim "AtlasNetwork" Wilson is back, now shadow treasurer & James "AtlasNetwork" Paterson is shadow defence minister? The Liberal Party (est 1944) is doing what it was founded to do, represent the mostly foreign owned mining & oil corporations that fund and also founded the IPA (est 1943).

Magnificent Arashiyama Bamboo Forest!

Many thanks I’ll check it out.

I am so tired of this classless, clueless embarrassment of a president.

Looking forward to Albanese explaining his support for the war when petrol hits $3/l

This is genius stuff! And soon we’ll have shopping trolleys with a privacy policies. Fuck I love the future, @juliadassin.bsky.social!

Media release from Henderson Labor must establish independent inquiry into ABC’s impartiality failures The Albanese government must establish an urgent independent inquiry into the ABC’s impartiality failures following its deeply offensive, one-sided coverage of the Iran war. The ABC’s statutory obligation to disseminate news and information impartially and accurately is critical to public trust in the national broadcaster. Senior America’s reporter, John Lyons, has shockingly failed that test. In response to a government statement that "Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression,” Mr Lyons labelled this as ‘political propaganda’ claiming if the Prime Minister was telling the truth, he should have said 'Australia stands with Israel and the US in their new war on Iran’.

Failed MP, and pity hire in the Senate, Sarah Henderson, is upset that John Lyons is doing journalism.

Great work from Knitting Nannas.
The more exposure the #AtlasNetwork and its affiliates get, the better. #auspol

ffs fuck off with this shit

🙇 I have been circling this theme for awhile. I’m pretty happy with this piece. Thanks for your kind comments.

Surely Ukraine and Iran makes it obvious to the Australian Military establishment that we don’t need to be extorted through billion dollar submarines that we will never get.

🙇 Thanks for noticing. Trying to put some of Roberta Beary’s thoughts into practice.

And everyone knows that you only notice errors after you hit publish — it’s like a law of social media or some such 😁

Seems that’s not on streaming yet. 😭

I see that I can watch Sounds of Winter on Australian Netflix, thanks for the heads up. Only just now realising Hana isn’t actually blind. I really have enjoyed Mone Kamishiraishi’s joyful exuberance. Haruka Ayase is great too.

Currently watching Love in Sight on Prime, a romcom with great Disability focus.

petty sure that the makers of autocorrect have got a deal going with Bluesky to never enable an edit button.

American the land of contrasts, it gives us walking cancer that is Trump but also the A class human, Brendan Fraser.

Diabetic woman arrested by ICE almost died after being refused insulin Hanne Daguman said she "genuinely feared for [her] health" after being denied insulin, causing her to lose vision and collapse.

Hanne Daguman is a Type 1 diabetic who was denied proper medical care in ICE custody.

She lost 10lbs in 9 days.

She experienced severe infections.

She was denied her continuous glucose monitor.

She was given too much insulin & another detainee gave her crackers and saved her life:

🙇 When ever I feel down I remember that in some respects I am lucky to still be here.

Trump dodged the draft.

He’s disparaged men and women in the armed forces.

He casually says “people will die”.

He refused to remove his baseball hat at a ceremony honouring six members of the military who lost their lives in Iran.

He doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

The following haibun is presented on faded yellow background and illustrated with a sumi-e painting of a fig bonsai with meandering trunk. It reads: Contingent When I first became ill - then disabled - I was angry at the pain, the betrayal of my body. More than that, I grieved the futures: hiking the Nakasendo, being a backup dancer in Bridgerton (I was a good ballroom dancer), a thousand other fancies that flit through a reasonably imaginative mind. With time, I see how many were only pleasant ideas. Most lives hinge on smaller chances than we imagine. fifty seeds - only one bodhi tree

Contingent, a haibun

British female athletes forced to pay for sex tests to compete British female track and field athletes are being forced to pay out of pocket for their own sex tests to prove they are not trans or intersex.

Cis women can fail this test.
Numerous studies have proven trans women don't have an unfair advantage.
Genetics affect sporting performance - it's usually people with genetic advantage that win, regardless of gender.
And why aren't the men doing similar tests to prove they're not trans men?
