They should consider filing a police complaint too
He shoved his fist into the journalist's face along with verbally threatening to punch him - absolutely actionable
I've had enough of people dismissing this violent old bastard as some sort of quirky character. He's an ugly, angry old bastard

When can we expect our Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism to show up and combat these antisemites?
Will she be combating them in person or will she be fighting through the courts to stop their antisemitic march from going ahead?

Eugenics in action.

In Australia, 2024 was a big #flu year in terms of hospitalisation numbers during the season's peak, but for mortality, #COVID19 (8.4 deaths per 100,000) resoundingly surpassed #flu (1.9/per 100k; in 2017, rate was 4.2/100k) overall*
*numbers from the FluCAN sentinel hospital sample
Very clever by Betoota!

Mark Dreyfuss perplexes me - I thought he was for transparency?
Why did it take so long?
Rex Patrick persisted in his FOI requests and as a result, we have insights into Morrison and Porter’s roles in Sports Rorts.

The great Marcia Langton rips into Dutton for his overt racism, esp for his dismal attacks on our First Nations people.
A man with hatred but no policies, prejudice but a track record of failure as Minister, divisive even within his own party- remember he spilled on Turnbull…& we got Morrison.
Congratulations to @profmdavis.bsky.social Prof. Megan Davis, recognised today with a Companion of the Order of Australia, which she is joyfully receives.

They detained a US citizen in a warrantless raid of brown people. This is for my relatives who told me they were only going after the "criminals". These were working people. Paying taxes. Even US citizens getting arrested for not showing their papers. www.axios.com/2025/01/24/i...

The video discusses an example of disinfo that allegedly spread from the hard-right to the left.
Disinfo isn’t opinions.
Disinfo isn’t behaviours.
Disinfo isn’t bad people.
Disinfo is [typically reassuring] falsehoods – anti-facts – and some people need a reminder to hold a better standard.

There’s a conversation that needs to happen on the left about disinformation.
Too many are willing to hold the right accountable for it, but let it slide around on the left.
Pingers has a new TikTok exemplifying its pervasiveness. (too long to post & not my story to share, but link at bottom).

Tweet reads: This thing is a radical left hardline anti American witch. An anti-Christ. She should be cast out like the demon she is.
Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Not enough attention is being paid to this issue; we are moving closer to a future in which the antibiotics we take for granted may simply stop working. As I have said before, war itself is a biological risk.
