I would like to strongly urge anyone reading this to block the account linked by Amy. If possible, do so without reading his posts. If you don't already know why I'm recommending you block this person, finding out will not make you happy. Just block him before someone dunk-quotes him into your feed.

⚠️ "People receiving an income support including disability, unemployment or carers payments had an average mortality rate more than nine times higher than people who did not access the welfare system." What an epic waste of human life. Raise the rates. 7news.com.au/news/shockin...

Tampa was just a jolly jape, according to Alexander Downer who grinned stupidly during the ABC documentary like a schoolboy who had just found a stash of raunchy porn mags. Blind to the human misery and ignoring international law, it was merely a fun game of one-upmanship for the Libs.

this album remains a crushing masterclass in poignant beauty in unravelling bleakness

Two decades on from the week of its release, Kirsteen McNish reflects on how a rainy night in Hull connected her to a quiet, moving album from the Mid West rust belt The Low Culture Essay: Kirsteen McNish on Jason Molina’s Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go buff.ly/b1nyZ54

yes, this will kill people, along with many other devastating costs borne by disabled people, our carers and our communities

In 18 years of closely watching federal budgets, I've never seen a budget measure with this level of social spending cuts (not even in Joe Hockey's 2014 budget). $36b in NDIS cuts over the forward estimates

A lot of people in the media are acting like they’ve got a free pass to associate whoever they want with the Bondi massacre and I feel like it should go a little less unobserved

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Not one person has lost their job or been forced to apologise for supporting Israel’s genocide. You can support the mass murder of Muslims & you will never be in danger of losing your job in media or politics or the arts or business or education. Suggest Israel are wrong, & you will be targeted.

14 alleged OPM (Papuan freedom fighters) killed by the Indonesian military yesterday in Central Papua, as per Antara. This has got to be one of the deadliest clashes in recent years and militarisation of the provinces has increased since Prabowo became prez

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Blowing up your small-town writers festival because your local university needs to crack down on free speech because there’s a genocide we can’t talk about is so utterly on-brand for Australian culture. Cowards and fools 3-deep at the canapés tray

This is why I said the strike is about regime change. As late as May, DIA said Iran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program. When asked about that, Rubio said the intelligence was "irrelevant." It's only irrelevant if the problem is the regime, not the program. 16/17

Democrats' most consistent line against Trump is "He isn't as murderous and psychotic as we would be."

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov

If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it. No side deals.

APAN President Nasser Mashni says he welcomes today’s strong language by the PM on Israel but says it’s come too late, says Israel is “not a democracy, it’s a rogue apartheid genocidal state, headed up by a war criminal. It’s time for Australia to do more than just talk…” #Abc
