Growing up in a heteronormative, homophobic time, it took me a long time to realise who I am, even longer to eventually come out. Feeling isolated and different shapes what you believe, your music and reading preferences…and I could go on. That’s why I’m a progressive and feel passionately…1/2

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

Just to be clear, US tech companies lobbied hard to prevent data related to their water and energy-intensive data centres being made publicly available in the EU. These are not just environmentally damaging facilities, they are US geo-strategic infrastructure. euobserver.com/217580/meps-...

Most news articles over the last week: 1. 47% tax bad 2. struggling mum and dad investors 3. AI generated Albo 4. Won't anyone think of the investors? 5. LNP talk points - Timmy time 6. Labor in trouble 7. What does this mean to Albo's popularity? 8. Oh, by the way it's all fake

This headline is a disgusting lie Special Disability Trusts are not affected *AT ALL* The article even makes it clear the concerns of the bloke (a solicitor with expertise in wills and estates) in this story are not about his disabled son but his other children being able to minimize their tax!

NEWS: The Epstein files are now bound into 3,437 physical volumes in a new exhibition space in Tribeca. Millions of pages. Two stories tall. And yet only two people have ever faced accountability. Katie Phang discusses the rage she felt walking through the space.

Despite the BS spread by Murdock gutter trash media around renewables, and especially #solar, the federal government is rolling out 100 Solar panel recycling sites across the country, because solar panels actually CAN be recycled. and to suggest they are toxic is plain lies.

reneweconomy.com.au"This is a $6.5 billion opportunity:" Industry claps back at toxic political fear-mongering on solar wastePV industry hits back at Coalition claims solar panels are made up of toxic materials that "will not recycle" and that reusing and recycling panels is an economic dead end.

It was David McBride who blew the whistle, triggering the Brereton report & laying the groundwork for Ben Roberts‑Smith’s charges. The thanks he got was jail, while war criminals roamed free. It’s about time Roberts-Smith is put away for good, but McBride must be released.

PLANET OF THE APES was released 58 years ago today. Regarded as one of the great science fiction films and a movie with one of the great plot twists, the behind the scenes story is like talking a walk through The Forbidden Zone… 1/50

Qld youth crime nightly news reporting has changed significantly in 2026 from 2024. This incident occuring under David Crisafulli's youth justice changes was given about 20secs, late in the bulletin & without the "youth crime crisis" banner. #qldpol

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

THIS is horrific! Conversion Therapy does NOT change one's sexuality! It does NOT change one's perception of being a male in a female body or vice versa! ALL is does is condition your to GET NAUSEOUS AND SICK if you act on your feelings. It's nothing more than NEGATIVE behavioral conditioning!

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Between your Grace Tame "difficult" comment and your "contempt" for the mothers in Syria refugee camps...you've had a rough week @albomp.bsky.social Time to get into the Hall of Mirrors and have a long, hard look at yourself. Do you recognise the person you are now ?

Combatting Antisemitism Czar™️, Jillian Segal's, hand-picked University Report card independent assessor - Greg Craven - brings novel views and thoughts to the position.

Been watching ’The History of Sound’. I loved the short story and was looking forward to the film. It’s beautiful in its own way but it’s exceptionally coy with the gay sex which results in little opportunity for the two leads to develop any chemistry. The hetero sex (of course) is more explicit.

I think the movie is an example of why ‘Heated Rivalry’ has been so successful by comparison. It normalises (gay) sex - even as a way into intimacy - and the frequent scenes in early episodes really allowed the two leads to develop chemistry. IMAO.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Netflix cancelling Boots after one season is depressingly on-brand. Even ‘hit show’ now just means ‘didn’t explode instantly enough.’ Hard to get invested when everything feels disposable.
