🪑 Armchair activists, assemble! 😜

We need YOU to sign our petition to the Port to stop coal ships during the Blockade.

The Port calls itself “a global leader in sustainability” — let's pressure them to live up to that claim.

Congratulations! Well done!

The messenger somewhat dilutes the message.

Sure, we've been doing truly heinous stuff to innocent people whilst destroying democracy for decades, but these vampires over here are stealing our advertising money!!!!!

News Corp Australia chairman says social media platforms are monsters and torment kids but I guess hacking the phone of a murdered schoolgirl is ok though.

This is hilarious. Gold kissed bonkers from the Seppo. Anglo's! Bet that went down like a cup of warm sick.

This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.

Announcing this on a board where Americans are in the fight of their lives against a fascist takeover may be a pointer....

This is more serious than at first glance. Since when can affected individuals not provide govt agencies with hectares of personal data? For that to be farmed out to private sector without guards against abuse destroys trust. Trust in govt agencies ability to help

Breach? Sounds like people gave their data to the government on a promise of disaster support, the government gave their data and our money to a contractor on a promise of service provision, and the contractor gave their data to a tech business on a promise of slop.

Major data breach as up to 3,000 flood victims' details loaded to ChatGPT
The NSW Reconstruction Authority says the breach occurred in March and involved the personal data of applicants to the Northern Rivers Resilient Homes Program.

Excellent analysis. The NPC is committing a heinous betrayal of the very ethics they seek for their profession - speaking truth to power.

The highest obligation for a journalist in the field of war should be to veer towards truth, not neutrality, and Hedges said that we “cannot stand by while one people is exterminated and call it balance”. His address at the National Press Club was expected to explore this collapse of journalistic integrity – how the media’s complicity in Gaza reflects a broader decay in Western journalism, driven by corporate consolidation, political fear, the loss of moral courage, and a failure to hold power to account.

Day154 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution

Don't worry John(H. sapiens) those aren't sandworms, they are just bryozoans (PRI108377). Please make the #JohnOliverCoprolitasticShed a reality and #savePRI 🧪

Re Andrew Hastie
Since the creeps at Melbourne University are shutting down Meanjin, I am bringing my essay out from the paywall. It’s on how “Christian” is being used to bring together a ratty coalition against “woke” , here at ARC, Hastie on that Board. #auspol

Mind-numbing sleep-woking
The word 'woke' is tiresome. More though, it's a cliché that terminates our ability to debate. In Australian civic discourse, and internationally, the word is used to demarcate lines of battle. In 2025, Australian politicians are hoping it can turn a motley coalition of voters into the government's base.

Woke emerged as a concept in US Black culture in the 1920s to signal people who were aware of how the system trapped them in disadvantage. Later, progressives borrowed (stole?) the label to celebrate that awareness more broadly, with regard to varied subjects like human rights for minorities, women, workers and refugees. By 2020, the term had become established as the right's latest slur for the 'politically correct.

If you rearrange the letters of that mother of acronyms you get the secret to Brereton's success removing conflicts of interest from his high powered, high salaried, hifalutin anti-corruption role.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

*sort of worked. My sister insists it was the oxidation of the fructose or some such, I think it's just a really effective placebo. Whichever way, I swear by it and our kids all 'treated' this way also

I had this conversation with my sister just 3 days ago. Our mum, bless her, insisted on grating an apple (sweet or tart) to treat our nausea and it sorry if worked every time. If you can stomach a little, you've got something there and might even get hungry. If it bounces, the deed is done

I hate to bother you @cathywilcox.bsky.social but was hoping this could be made quicker by asking directly. I copyied this toon of yours from here without any context and want to cite it for use in my undergrad course. Can you remember when this was published? Was it July?

When Hastie's outburst about colleagues is immediately supported by Sen's Price and Canavan, you know who he really wants to lead inside the party and who will make that come to pass. Angus 'Cayman Is' Taylor to become the middle candidate a la #ScoMo? Ley already seems like toast

Classic from Bill McKibben:

'It was definitely the dumbest speech that delegates have ever had to listen to—as the shots of them looking on in stony disbelief as Trump vented about broken escalators, MAGA hats, & his general greatness for nearly an hour'.
