Back when I was young, we used to leave a couple of long necks* on the bins for the garbos** at Christmas. Since the introduction of wheelie bins we can't do that any more. ...not everything is progress.

Hey, Albo @albomp.bsky.social and Penny @senatorwong.bsky.social given that you won't criticise or challenge the USA because of our "shared values", does your lack of criticism and support for Israel also reflect your belief that we have "shared values"? ...because I can't think of a single one.

Why is it that Jewish people boo @albomp.bsky.social when he arrives for #Bondi vigil but support #Netanyahu who allowed 1200 Israelis to be slaughtered by Hamas then murdered 70000 innocent people in Gaza. It reeks of hypocrisy.

Its 38°c outside, air-con on max. I have to bake bread and my oven vents into the kitchen. A sensible oven designer would allow for venting internally or externally, and switching during summer and winter. ...A sensible buyer would look for that as a feature and buy accordingly. ...The naked baker.

This is a terrible mistake, borne of laziness and cowardice, and will be one of Anthony Albanese's longest lasting and most destructive legacies.

Considering how we teach the Holocaust is one thing; entrenching pro-Israel ideology in our education system is a whole other thing.

🎶 What have they done to the earth, yeah?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

We want the world and we want it Now 🎶

Climate instability will again force migration, but unlike in the past, peoples will not welcome the introduction of new cultures, workers, practices and ideas, but rather pull up the drawbridge and scream "No room! No room! We don't want to change, we'd rather go back to some mythic "Golden Age""

Hey! @albomp.bsky.social!
How about not just a Royal Commission into the Bondi attack (ASIO failings), but the Media coverage and political exploitation as well? Half a million and more Australians signed a petition asking for a media RC years ago. Remember ??? ...if not, this is a reminder.

Why the flock are we diving headlong into AI, when a common spiel-chucker (spellchecker) changes -correctly spelt- words it doesn't recognise (f* give it a dictionary database), or can't understand the context of the sentence.

And as for "journalism graduates" who ignorantly use malapropisms. 🫣

You can throw in more funding, create new laws & establish as many taskforces as you like to tackle antisemitism, but until Israel stops slaughtering innocent Palestinian men, women & children, and stops stealing land, the underlying problem will always remain.

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.

Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊
“Let's make Together for Palestine's record this year's Christmas No 1.” Musician and activist Brian Eno explains why one song in particular matters this Christmas.

Control the universities and you shape and control the future thinkers, and leaders of industry and politics. This has worked very well sp far, and that is why those in power in Israel continue to push for it globally. University protests helped bring down SA apartheid, that's why Zionists fear it.

From Hollywood to the mass media to AI, we're increasingly moving into an unreality where the people, sounds, images, news, and facts are whatever the AI owners programme into the system. Resist the temptation to become a rhinoceros. Keep taking those red pills.

Fair warning. If i hear another 🎶 Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer 🎶, I'm applying for a hunting licence and there'll be venison on the table for Christmas.

Our thoughts are with the victims of last night's terror attack in Bondi, as well as their communities.

If you can, please help out by giving blood which is desperately needed right now: app.lifeblood.com.au/XW3k/d9wncrn5

For me at least, the key part of the footage of the man disarming the attacker was when he takes possession of the rifle and points it at the shooter but does not fire. This is also very Australian: he removed the threat but did not take the next step into aggression or murder.
