If you’ve ever been curious about my music but didn’t know where to start, I put together this youtube playlist of 15 songs that people tend to especially dig and/or put in their theatre shows or videogames or movies or whatever.

Tell you what, this whole (amazing) movement makes that video of the Nazi getting punched while talking about Pepe the frog badge even funnier

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Her honest answer is almost certainly ‘because they helped kill all the terrorists’. There’s a non-zero possibility she’ll actually say that out loud, given her trajectory of late.

Please explain to me, @senatorwong.bsky.social, exactly how a GENOCIDE committed with impunity by Israel with mostly weapons and bombs and other artillery provided by the USA "has been the greatest contribution to peace in the Middle East."

I'll fucking wait. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

The thing about the concept of a PMC is that premature menstruation skills and collection skills are extremely dissimilar. Equally valuable. But very much not the same.

i was wondering where puddle of mudd got their name from and apparently it was because they used to have to walk through “a pile of shit” to get their stuff out of a flood and now i’m imagining a dj saying “coming up, here’s a pile of shit with she fucking hates me”

A whole album out of one kind of sound? Sounds a bit weird man

Yeah, that’s probably truer than any of us would like

We can’t know that for sure, just because all the research and prior implementation overwhelmingly emphasises that exact conclusion

A young person died just days after the LNP make pill testing illegal.

There’s a good chance that if they could have had these pills tested, they’d be with us all today.

Highly potent synthetic opioids found in teddy bear-shaped pills linked to a death in Queensland

Public health warning issued after drugs known as nitazenes detected amid move to ban pill testing * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Teddy bear-shaped pills laced with synthetic opioids have been linked to a death in Queensland, triggering a public health warning about a group of highly potent illicit drugs called nitazenes. N-pyrrolidino-protonitazene and protonitazene were detected in toxicology and samples taken from pale yellow pills marked with the letter “Y” in the state’s south-east. Continue reading...

Yeah, me neither, tbh. I saw a joke the other day that the reconstruction of the mystery body from 2012 they uncovered recently looked remarkably like Albanese and was like ‘yeah, fuck it, he was replaced by a body snatcher, why not’

MJ O’Neill 🏳️‍⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 15h

I think that’s a charitable read, tbh. I think she, like Albanese, just don’t care about Palestine or Australians and simply want to be praised by the LNP for adopting all their stances.

MJ O’Neill 🏳️‍⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 15h

Ah.

MJ O’Neill 🏳️‍⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 17h

It’s a drastic reaction but I think it’s almost certainly justified by this and this alone

It’s gonna be interesting when ICE goes from trying to kick people out of America to having to stop people from leaving America. Interesting and tragic.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Come on, mate. It’s not like Israel masterminded some kind of nefarious graffiti plot from afar. It’s just kidnapping and imprisonment. Why would the ambassador be kicked out for that?

Tom Quinn @tomquinn.bsky.social · 18h

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

Dave Earley @earleyedition.bsky.social · 18h

An Australian woman who has not agreed to sign a waiver acknowledging she sought to 'illegally break Israel’s naval blockade' on Gaza will be “indefinitely detained” in Israel’s Ketziot prison unless she agrees to sign the waiver.

AM I LOSING MY MIND???!!!

Gilbert: In relation to the United States and its approach to this, Donald Trump, there's some talk of him getting the Nobel Peace Prize. Would you support that? Do you think that would be a good move?
Foreign Minister: Well, certainly this peace plan is historically unprecedented. And, you know, this has been the biggest contribution to peace that we have seen in a very long time.
Gilbert: So, you wouldn't be opposed to that idea?
Foreign Minister: Obviously, it's a matter for the committee. But this has been the greatest contribution to peace in the Middle East for a generation or more.
And, you know, I think if we see the hostages, when we see the hostages returned and aid flowing into Gaza, what peace enables, I think will come home to all of us.

The other reason the Defence Force is targeting young people is that there’s a talent shortage - nobody’s signing up. Their hope is that young people won’t know why nobody is signing up.

FYI, cops have the same problem. Governments want to fund cops, nobody wants to be one.

Travis Johnson @travisjj.bsky.social · 20h

Yeah, that tracks. There's been a steady marketing build up over the past 2-3 years that I've noticed. World's even more unstable, gotta fill those boots. The military has *always* targeted the younger demographic, by the way - only the vector has changed. We saw recruiting ads in comics and...

Crikey @crikey.com.au · 20h

The military’s target audience are in two demographics: 16-to-24-year olds, and 24-to-35-year-olds.

MJ O’Neill 🏳️‍⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 20h

What’s crazy is they COULD buy their way out of it. All HRW said was ‘just ask the Saudi government to set the activists free’. They didn’t even ask the comedians to boycott it. But, for some reason, that price of ‘try and help’ was too high.
