Distressed to hear Madeleine Habib’s boat has been intercepted & boarded by IDF. Yet another breach of int law by Israel. I’m in Canberra & liaising now with the PM’s office. Israel must immediately release all on board including our brave Tasmanian Madeleine #auspol #politas

To my American pals, next time you get this offer - get in the bloody car.

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries.

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

“It is also one of several countries involved in making parts for F-35 fighter jets, under a US-led programme, SIPRI added.

“Concerns about the potential use of the F-35 by Israel to carry out violations of international humanitarian law…”
Hey @albomp.bsky.social , how about them Italians, huh.

'SBS staff remain unable to use the word Palestine in news reporting despite federal recognition of the state last month as tensions over reporting on the conflict in Gaza remain high in newsrooms across the country two years after the October 7 massacre.'

"The results haven’t lived up to the hype."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Cory Doctorow off the long run-up with quality AI analysis: “So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?" pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and two cabinet ministers have been reported to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide on Gaza.

*Australian govt invited this lot into our Treasury Dept. And probably paid them.*

I'm not an economist but seems worrying that the whole US economy is seven companies in a trenchcoat, passing the same $20 up and down

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS

"A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

In the last hour, the brave humanitarians aboard the Freedom Flotilla, which includes at least one Australian, Madeleine Habib, have reported being surrounded and intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters.

This is direct contravention of international law.

With fucking treasury.
Welp, we should be broke by the end of the year.
I would like each govt member’s name, and each senior public servant’s name, of all who brokered and okayed this deal with known data scroungers and digital carpetbaggers regarding ALL OUR MONEY, displayed in foot high letters.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

For 2 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, not one Palestinian voice has been featured on NBC, ABC or CNN’s Sunday shows.

@ahjohnson.bsky.social writes about how the U.S. media has debated Palestinians’ annihilation without letting a single Palestinian speak.

A Tasmanian Government took gambling to an election up against the might of Federal Hotels and the might of the gambling lobby. Labor was destroyed over this.

The irony is, that Labor let them in and are now unable to control them, their combined advertising and donor power has been unleashed.

Joe Biden said without Israel, Jewish people wouldn't be safe.
Israeli officials just dragged an American Jewish man to his knees, made him take a photo op with the Israeli flag, and yelled in his face and called him a terrorist

Newsom is angling to be a unity VP pick for after Trump eats it he is the leader of the Democratic wing of the silicon fash mvmt and the only difference between he and JD Vance is it's less advantageous for Newsom to pretend to like DJT

i don't know the story here but most CSAM-prevention tools could be called "AI" and the way to use them is to feed all images thru them to be checked against a known (hashed) db of abuse images.

they're not generative.

maybe they're using generative and not this. but the above is SOP.
