Australia having a normal one, I see.

Nooooooo - climate catastrophe is totally not a thing 😉 it's very common to have catastrophic floods, bushfires, and a cyclone brewing in different parts of the country every single year now. Simultaneously. Nothing to see here. #AusPol

I know I shouldn’t be. But I am continually shocked at how much Eve Barlow has become (or always been?) a handmaiden for fascism. But I guess that’s the Zionist pipeline for you.

Well I’m sure Donald Trump appreciates that The Age is running cover and excuses for his illegal occupation of a country.

JFC, Australian media is truly gutless.

“Billionaire joins calls for Bondi probe.”

WELLLLLLL. If a billionaire wants it! 🙄 #AusPol

(Also, it’s this billionaire: “James Packer’s ties with Israeli PM and spy chief became ‘national risk’ – report”

Headline now changed but possibly too late. Now reads: “Australians want tougher visa screening, almost half in favour of royal commission”

But I just heard the previous wild interpretation of the data quoted in a radio news segment 🤦‍♀️

Despite that very misleading headline; “There is weaker support for a royal commission and a crackdown on protests … but the polling still shows more people are in favour of those measures than not.”

Love to know if the pollster called them “pro-Palestine” or “anti-genocide” protests too. #AusPol

Sussan Ley is giving us Erika Kirk-levels of histrionics, in a performance nobody asked for … how contemptible. #AusPol

Frankly, fuck off The Age.
This is pushing for some dangerous US-style “war on terror” dogma that only succeeded in ostracising, and vilifying entire communities. #auspol

UAE are actively committing war crimes in Sudan ….. maybe get a different advertiser, The Age?! How can the public expect you to write on Sudan and the RSF and who is funding them, when they’re funding you too. #AusPol

Sometimes it feels like The Age editors are also sick and tired of having to pander to the Domain advertising too …

JFC these people don’t even know to be embarrassed at their behaviour. How absolutely viiiiile.

People peeved at the Lord Byron quote at the end of Frankenstein, instead of something written by Mary Shelley … Look - the two are just inexorably linked. That in itself is such a profound commentary to mirror the story!

Even ‘Byron: a Life in Letters’ begins with a Mary Shelley epigraph!

Checking in on the worst Zionists who’ve been pumping out hysterical Islamophobia in the lead up to the NYC mayoral race for *months* and fear-mongering around voting Mamdani.

The post-win cope is sublime (and by that I mean deeply disturbed and racist)

Jtilch and Eve Fartlow …

KFC Australia now making a “zinger banh mi” and GOOD. GOD. NO!

This is un-Australian. I guarantee you can Google “your suburb + best bánh mì” and get recommend a small, local joint that’ll make you want to start loudly & proudly declaring; “NAH mate, *we* have the best bánh mì near us!”

The Guardian has images of the No Kings protest in Times Square and if you zoom in on one of the billboards, you can see images of IOF soldiers and presumably other Israelis … projected down on an anti-authoritarianism protest 😕

The call is indeed coming from inside the White House, patriots.

Google “Global Sumud Flotilla” and it’s all sponsored posts “exposing” the “truth” behind funding the Flotilla. But it’s all Hasbara bullshit planted by Israel to paint these peace-activists as terrorists. This is Israel’s strategy now - probably to commit more atrocities against civilians.

I don’t think Emerald Fennell has a distinctive style yet - all her films look so different - “Wuthering Heights” looks very inspired by del Toro’s ‘Crimson Peak’ aesthetic (interesting they’re both adapting gothic romance source material, and cast Jacob Elordi as their “monster” too)

‘Discipline’ by Randa Abdel-Fattah is out today — Silence is complicity, but how do we confront the cost of speaking up?

‘PM says some good people marched on Sunday, blames exploitation by neo-Nazis’

Albo is an embarrassment. He’s giving Trump after Charlottesville “very fine people on both sides.”

Um, I think the Sydney harbour bridge protest was specifically against Israel’s ongoing genocide and extensive war crimes being committed in Gaza. Not that you’d know it from The Guardian and The Age tepid headlines. #NSWpol #AUSpol
