What if Darwinian evolution had built a human species in which the pig-ignorant actually realised they were indeed that and would all STFU in response.
That might allow their brains to actually consider, rationalise and learn.
What might we be as a species then!

Anyone else see Albo’s presser just now where he laughed off Pocock’s concerns re SportsBet access, dismissed news re Brereton secretly consulting 11 times whilst heading up the NACC, and tried to segue into how he had frozen beer excise?

We had a period in Australia when only men could vote.
That didn’t work.
So we’ve tried everyone having the vote for the last 58 years.
That hasn’t worked.

Maybe it’s time to try only women get to vote.

An ER medic reported injuries were grouped. Kids one day being shot in the middle of the forehead. Next day it might be the crotch, next day elesewhere.

These groupings could not be coincidental. He described it as "the gamification" of killing ie the IDF snipers did this for fun.

They wed amidst the bombs of war-torn Gaza. Now they're hoping for a new start

Mohammed Mustafa and Nour Dalloul got married while bombs exploded around them. Now their war-torn love, forged in the emergency rooms of a Gazan hospital, has found a home in Australia.

THIS.

How dare you lecture us about Hamas displaying a lack of humanity, in the face of Israel's blatant and constant barbarity and inhumanity. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

The bottom line is this. There is no disrespect in Australians hitting the streets today and using social media to ask our community to reflect on what October 7 means for two groups of people. @BarnsGreg #auspol #Oct7 #israel #Gaza #genocide

7 October not a day to abuse protesters

When it comes to the domestic political fallout from the Gaza conflict, there are no more reliable and uncritical friends of Israel than Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan and her New South Wales counterpart Chris Minns.

Today the governor of Texas has sent troops to invade and occupy Illinois against the wishes of the People of IL & its governor. This will be the first time since 1865 that troops from the former Confederacy make an incursion into a Northern state.

Are we really beginning the SECOND US Civil War?

While the world is witnessing a GENOCIDE, the only "G" word our prime minister @albomp.bsky.social can bring himself to condemn or even say out loud is "GRAFFITI."

What an incredibly sick joke. What an excruciating lack of leadership at such a barbaric time in history. #auspol #GazaGenocide

So - let me get this straight…

They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work

But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work

What? #4corners #auspol
