Turned on yesterday and there was a piece on oil supply issues and it was phrased as though Iran was being attacked out of nowhere by nobody.
"Iran is being bombed..." like it's a natural fucking disaster or something.
I turned off instantly.
Have the courage to say, "We are bombing Iran..."
I've been saying for the last 20 years that if we don't do something about climate change then society would collapse by 2030.
You have no idea how much I was hoping to be wrong about this one thing.
Trying to point out to people the signs of societal collapse since 2020 and now it's finally here.
I was going to stop using my car and wait it out before I fill up but I ended up needing to use it today unexpectedly so decided to go to the servo and fill it up anyway even though the tank was well over half full. Three bowsers were out of fuel already. The others were not far behind.
This season of Hudson and Rex is so cringey. Just put this show out of its misery.
The Xmas two parter - where everybody delivered the worst dialogue about hope and not one person mentioned their first Xmas without Charlie. The main character. Who died offscreen - was painful to watch.

And they're owned by the same companies - and often how those companies make their money. This is because the "evil" pharmaceutical companies have convinced them to choose an expensive stream of lifelong supplements over cheap, one-off preventatives. Because it's more lucrative for them.
I have a cousin who was a surgical nurse who was anti-vax. The idea that a surgical nurse could have rejected germ theory blew me away.

Anthony Albanese called Grace Tame “difficult” in a News Corp word game. Donald Trump was merely “president”.
Throughout history women who fight to better society get punished and labelled problems
Men who are convicted criminals and whose policies kill are more likely to get a pat on the back
I love a Difficult Woman
Abbott Elementary was funnier and more heartwarming when it wasn't a documentary on the collapse of US society.

It is notable that some of the strongest voices opposing Israel’s actions in Palestine, like Adler, are Jewish, including the Jews Against the Occupation ’48 and the Jewish Council of Australia.

I was just watching the amazing gold medal performance of figure skater Mikhail Shaidorov and the commentator said something about his music being "controversial" but I can't find out why. I did find references to an earlier "music mishap" but can't find details either.
Anyone know?
I haven't heard this song in years. It's 20 years old now and still such a powerful and poignant discussion of hatred and intolerance.
References are to the Bali bombings but also to Children Overboard and the domestic campaign against immigration.

I thought the premise of #OurUniverse was lovely but everything about the show's execution annoys me.
Am I not over my burnout or is it really a parade of annoying tropes and useless cliches?

At least Australians can be proud of Grace Tame. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #HerzogNotWelcome
“The PM’s response to my question failed some basic tests of reality. Inviting the head of a state committing genocide to Australia does not advance the aims of peace, and has only made things worse."

My humanity doesn’t end at my countries borders.
I once spent four hours searching my house for my coffee.
Was genuinely willing to consider the idea that a parallel version of myself sucked it into a different reality as an explanation as to why it disapparated.
Only to find it when I went to reheat the cup I made to replace it.
The violent scenes that played out in central Sydney last night were deeply troubling, and entirely foreseeable.
We are Australians, first and foremost. Inviting a foreign head of state to Australia when the consequences for social cohesion are so obvious shows a serious failure of judgment.
Can you believe the bullshit the media outlets are running this morning?
Unbelievable.
As you should be, @albomp.bsky.social.
What about tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered by Netanyahu's genocidal regime, supported by alleged criminal & genocide supporter, President Herzog, whom you welcomed warmly! Devastating, @albomp.bsky.social?

See, what you have to understand is the context of that footage.
Yes, they were unarmed and engaged in peaceful protest.
But they said stuff the police didn't like.
The police response in this situation - to beat the living shit out of them - was clearly proportionate.

Israel’s president Isaac Herzog isn’t welcome in Australia.
The Greens join with the community across the country this evening to demand sanctions on Israel and to end the two-ways arms trade.
We will not be complicit in this genocide.
#Auspol
Go home Isaac Herzog. You’re not welcome in Australia.
Canberrans calling out Israel’s genocide on Gaza.
And shame on you @AlboMP. The Israeli President invite is not in our name.
I miss Taiwanese idol dramas.
Yes, they were kind of terrible.
But their terrible was wonderful as well.
Kudelka cartoon of the disciples pulling back the stone from the tomb and revealing a chocolate Easter bunny.
As great as Jon was a political cartoons, his calender ones were fabulous as well
I've been rewatching Early Edition (90s show) and I could swear there was an episode of this show where Gary Hobson was in a building collapse and the cat had to go for help. And it had people exclaiming, "That's Hobson's cat! Something's wrong!".
Did I just make this up?

Vale to one of Australia's greatest cartoonists and artists - Jon Kudelka
Ambience is good. I remember when this came out, I remember thinking I wasn't interested. I'll have another look.
