I think there's an irrefutable lesson here for the likes of our PM @albomp.bsky.social and the Premier of NSW Chris Minns, who call misogynistic twat Kyle Sandilands their mate, that difficult woman are here to hold people like Sandilands & Andrew Tate to account for their denigrating attitudes! 🀬πŸ₯°πŸ˜Ž

Israel’s β€˜Iron Beam’: why laser weapons are no longer science fiction β€˜Directed energy weapons’ are a cheap way to hit a lot of targets – and militaries around the world are taking notice.

"Where a missile destroys a drone, shell or rocket by crashing into it or exploding near it, Iron Beam destroys targets by burning them with an extremely powerful laser."

Why do some of us vividly remember dreams and others say they β€˜don’t dream’? Some people are naturally better at recalling their dreams. Others worry they’re not getting quality sleep if they can’t remember their dreams. Here’s the science.

The importance of dreams, or not, and what they may tell us about our sleep quality, general health and day-to-day stress levels.

This is truly crazy and a brazen misuse of taxpayer money ... let's have a referendum and let taxpayers themselves decide if they want their taxes spent on companies who pay virtually no tax at all on their multi-million dollar profits.

Stop subsidising fossil fuel companies with our money! 😑☹😎

Here in Australia, a strong and independent woman who stands up to the patriarchy is labled "difficult" by our leaders @albomp.bsky.social ... any wonder we have such high rates of domestic violence (femicide)!

Missiles and memes: White House turns war into entertainment A week into Trump’s war against Iran, the White House released a video featuring movie scenes spliced with real footage of strikes in Iran.

"What do these videos reveal about the way masculinity is still defined in 21st century America? In this script, restraint looks weak. Empathy looks soft. Diplomacy looks naΓ―ve. Real men strike back," opines Rob Okun.

MAGA makes a mockery of war! 😱😡😎

The Liberals are at it again, preferencing One Nation Lhe Liberals’ decision to preference One Nation in SA is taking it further to the extremes when we need to bring our nation together.

"It turns out that the Liberal Party’s position on One Nation is not moral but purely transactional – if it’s in the party’s political interest to recommend preferences for One Nation, it will do so," writes Craig Emerson.

More hilarity from hapless Libs! 🀣🀭😎

Of course this should have been a red flag for all American voters; Trump committed an act of treason & should have been banned (as per 14th Amendment of the American Constitution) from ever running for public office ever again ... did the system fail the people, or did the people just fail? πŸ€”πŸ™„πŸ˜Ž

New Nationals leader Canavan vows to 'fight back' for Australians With a populist economic message, the new Nationals leader said local manufacturing and higher birth rates were key as he rejected the labels of "left" and "right" politics.

The ongoing joke that is the Liberal-National coalition continues as the Nationals elects new leader, wait for it ... Matt Canavan! 🀣🀣🀣

Brimming with policy ideas, Canavan said: "All we need to do to revive our great nation is to have more Australia." ... MAGA? πŸ€”πŸ™„πŸ€­πŸ˜Ž

Docked boats, idle tractors β€” the Iran war fuel crisis is hurting Australia Dozens of fishing trawlers have been stranded as a result of Australia's worsening fuel shortages, which some have described as the worst they have ever seen.

"ACCC deputy chair Mick Keogh said he wanted to know if there had been any illegal activity, like price gouging, or anti-competitive behaviour."

Well hello! How can a 40 cent price increase overnight not constitute price gouging ... open your eyes Mick!

Not only do I agree with Mr Dibble, I'm still completely baffled why self-respecting people, companies and non-profit organisations continue to post on Herr Musk's evil-X platform ... humiliation is an understatement!

Migrant myth: Research pinpoints real housing crisis culprit Cutting migration is often touted as the solution to improving Australia's housing crisis but researchers say there are more effective ways.

β€œPopulation growth alone does not produce today’s housing shortage. The shortage appears when governments ration land use, delay approvals, cap density in high-demand areas, and then act surprised when prices rise.”

Anti-immigration sentiment is misguided! 🀨😎

True justice is to become a distant memory for consumers as Ticketmaster does a deal behind closed doors, usurping the powers of the courts.

Ticketmaster is the antithesis of what consumer choice means, scamming us all with their hidden fees and monopolistic practices! ... hard to boycott though.😎

Exclusive: Joyce on Rinehart’s support for One Nation The former Nationals leader has confirmed Gina Rinehart is among many β€˜substantial supporters’ he has brought to the far-right party.

Will One Nation become Gina Rinehart's political vehicle similar to Clive Palmer's illfated Trumpet of Patriot party? ... if Blowhard Barnaby has any say in the matter it certainly will as she uses Barnaby to get her messages out. πŸ€¨πŸ€‘πŸ˜Ž
