I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I think Birdie is right, there are so many small L liberal women, business owners, fiscally conservative but socially progressive who joined then abandoned the Liberal Party, Julia Banks is a case in point, joined for her principles - railroaded by the likes of Abbott and Morrison pond scum.

For #FossilFriday some iguanodontian dorsal vertebrae with ossified tendons which would have formed a crisscross pattern. First appeared Late Jurassic associated with increased mass and quadrupedality. From #IsleofWight in the collections of @nhm-london.bsky.social.

I think the Federal Opposition should be renamed David Pocock because he’s the only one doing their job.

“Many questions remain about how the plan will be implemented, the exact boundaries of Palestinian territory, the timing and scope of Israeli withdrawals, the role of the International Stabilization Force, and the long-term implications for Palestinians across both Gaza and the occupied West Bank.”

9 October 2025 Al Jazeera article on the current ceasefire “peace” plan includes this map displaying the ‘yellow line’ Israel has agreed their troops withdraw to.
The Israel-Gaza Conflict:
Israel's withdrawal to the 'yellow line'
In the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire plan, Israel is set to withdraw its troops to the agreed 'yellow line' within 24 hours, after which a 72-hour period will begin for the handover of Israeli captives.

Couldn’t believe it myself. Peace prize to a woman who is open to violent insurrection to overthrow her countries govt. Supports sanctions that cripple her country. Will privatise govt owned assets incl oil. Has modelled her politics on Margaret Thatcher, is pro Trump and Netanyahu. 🤷🏻‍♀️
