Long shot.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Four frames. 1. Hands holding invitation “You’re invited to join my Board of Peace” - Trump signature. Richard Marles says “It’s like the UN but without all the Human Rights and Rule of Law palaver…” 2. Albo now in pic, Marles continues, “So far it includes various peace-loving luminaries, like Tony Blair, Viktor Orbán, Netanyahu…” 3. “…plus Trump’s son-in-law and a bunch of property developers…” Albo says “Should we join it?” 4. Marles: “Perhaps we could appeal to their better angels…”

The hate groups provisions in the hate speech bill are deeply flawed. They still exclude advocating genocide from the definition of hate crimes, and they will be open to misuse to target peaceful activist groups because of political influence. They shouldn't be passed into law in their current form.

Related, I need an artist who:

1) is open to creating fuckable monster / alien art
2) needs paid work
3) would rather eat a shoe than use AI

If you're intrigued and wish to know more, @ me a link to some fuckable monsters you've designed. If chosen, I'll DM & we'll go from there.

(pls share)

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

The fact that we all saw the video is exactly why it needs to be investigated.

We watched a man shoot a woman 3 times.

We watched ICE deny her medical care.

We watched the shooter walk away.

We didn’t see a threat. We saw a killer.

Investigate the shooting.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Trump is trying to sell Palestinian sovereignty for $1 billion per seat while Palestinians are still being bombed and starved under the so-called “ceasefire.”

This isn’t diplomacy, it’s profiteering off genocide. Australia better not touch this with a 10-foot pole.

And starting next month is a new exclusive Elis O'Connor novella in which patrons get to help choose what direction the story will take (like who Elis will kill).

That's our Elis, always bringing the power fantasy catharsis we need. patreon.com/skyladawncameron
A woman in a black hoodie with blonde and pink hair looks over her shoulder at the viewer. Her hand is outstretched with blue electric light in her palm and behind her is a city alleyway at night. The text says "Throw the Whole Man Out: An Elis O'Connor Choose-Your-Own-Murder Novella only at Patreon" When touching grass is not enough and you need consequences to happen to bad men…there’s serial killer witch Elis O’Connor to the rescue, happy to throw the whole man out. Elis has been stalking some awful men on a dating forum and has decided one (or more) of them must die. Will it be Luke, recently divorced God-fearing homesteader whose tradwife left him after he seemed to plan for her to die in childbirth? Will it be self-described "woke feminist" Hunter, who praised his ex-girlfriend as the best thing that ever happened to him but destroyed all her beloved plants in a late-night fit of rage? Or will it be Andy, who kept pressuring his former girlfriend to euthanize her pet because she spent more time with it than with him? Where will they go on their date? How will she kill him? Can she avoid witnesses? Patreon supporters decide how the story will go!

This bill is truly awful, an embarrassment
The hate speech bill is an omnibus disaster — and there's a glaring exclusion
The argument the government is putting forward for excluding 'advocating genocide' from this bill's list of hate crimes is nonsensical.

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", when uttered by the holders of political and social power and privilege, means simply the maintenance of the dominant culture and silencing of any challenge to it.

Statement from our client Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. It is a tragedy that Adelaide Writers' Week has been destroyed, for nothing. However, this is a massive win for artistic freedom and hopefully a turning point in this time of unhinged McCarthyist witch-hunting. Randa is a hero and we love her.

100%. We’ve seen the dossiers on individual targets that get compiled and sent to institutions in coordinated assaults. They’re incredibly detailed. The intended effect is overwhelm, and most institutions are not equipped to understand or resist it.

I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned

open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...
On the other hand, the organised pro-Israel groups backgrounding journalists or haranguing ministers or board members have faced no consequences, despite the chaos they’ve caused. They haven’t been named or called to account in any way. It’s a perverse effect of the pressure-campaign tactics: only the victims of these attacks (the pro-Palestinian artists, writers, presenters) are put on public trial. More significantly, the damage to the institutions – the damage they have done to themselves in wronging these individuals – is not being discussed. There is a common fallacy that these institutions are protecting themselves when they hang individuals out to dry. Pressure campaigns rely on this notion when in fact the opposite is true: board members and chief executives made knee-jerk decisions under the pressure of a news deadline, thinking they’d dampen the threat, only to find the repercussions were much greater. Catastrophic, in fact.
