The thing about this discussion in #Australia is that this material from the extreme right can not accurately be described as "cartoons", certainly not "satire". It is hate propaganda. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahu’s great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

This 19th c lady’s multitool was found in the pocket(!) of an antique (1872) garment donated to the historic clothing archive at my employer. It features a button hook for fitted gloves and a tiny corkscrew. The corkscrew is too small for wine & was probably intended to open apothecary bottles.

This is real wallet-inspector stuff. The MoD asked *Palantir* to tell them how to buy tech. And Palantir, which has done very well out of non-competitive procurement, said: ‘yes, more of that please’.

I’m into my second year of #WorkFromRoam. It’s started off with a colourful sunset. Yarrangobilly River, Snowy Mountains, NSW.

"How's your diet going?" "Fuck off"

Today’s Tingle. Too many western countries are silent on the far right government in Israel that is openly speaking about a ‘Greater Israel’ that involves invading and taking over several other countries, or parts of them. Like Germany in 1939 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

For decades we were told that this plant could exist because “carbon capture and storage” was going to sequester carbon in bedrock — Dear Reader, they told that lie so they could sell gas.

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

I’m in the Full Federal Court in 11 days seeking a precedent preventing secrecy on the performance of any publicly funded project and allowing the public to have near real time access to cost and schedule info. Who’s against me - every player in the Snowy 2.0 debacle #FOI #auspol

Zionism vs Judaism. Here is an image that should explain the difference, Jewish photojournalist Heidi Levine being punched, kicked, stamped on and robbed, by Zionists. #ZionismIsRacism

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

Off to the opera- Carmen- dressing up for a change...

"What is the book that will be written on #AnthonyAlbanese 's prime ministership?" #FranKelly, host of The #RadioNational Hour, recently put this question to veteran political journalist #KerryO'Brien. The former 7.30 host's response was characteristically blunt. #AUSPOL #Neoliberalism #Albo

after 1600km, a solar and battery powered refrigerated trailer was still 67% charge! No more diesel burning generators to keep truck trailer refrigerated! thedriven.io/2026/10/21/t...

Israel has killed 24% of Gaza's population, according to The Lancet. That is ONE QUARTER. stevendonziger.substack.com/p/update-isr...

David Warner holds an opinion on a test match in South Africa? Fuck off Dave. If anyone diminished test cricket . . . 🏏

The mental health situation in my town is worse recently just based on the fact that I much more often see people ranting angrily or in kind of paranoia episode in the CBD. It’s so infuriating. We are a society that can afford to care for people. We are just choosing not to do so.

Wild dromedary herds no longer roam the Sahara, while wild banteng are vanishingly rare in Southeast Asia. Should we protect their feral populations in Australia? 👉 Read the full story:

Or here in now unaffordable London how many revolutionary geniuses went to art school for free and lived on the dole or odd jobs while working on their art & music projects with their friends.

Go see Naza. Its a sobering insight into just how far gone that society is. To think that kids at King David School in Melbourne were encouraged to send letters of support to the IDF blows my f'n mind. But that's what we're all up against now - the most organised & best funded cult in the world

Brendan Larsen from Ngāmotu in Aotearoa and a member of the New Plymouth Astronomical Society took this stack over a couple of hours and estimates 14000 satellite trails. This is how bad it is now, it's set to get much much much worse - and then we lose Low […] [Original post on river.geek.nz]

Once again, a bunch of journalists who should absolutely know better thinking Tesla has real plans to put that Roadster into production with the jets as though the entire interior volume of that car was not made up of the gear required to make that stunt happen. I am begging etc.

The most moral army in the world

When olives are one of your last agricultural resources, how incredibly cruel to have them destroyed by “settlers” for no other reason than to make your life there unliveable. While beating up a foreign photo-journalist. Aided and abetted by Israeli soldiers.

The IDF is addicted to murdering children, aid workers, and journalists. Anyone with any links to the IDF or Israeli govt should be regarded as a war criminal.

“The Supreme Court ruled that the council should not have evicted the campers when they did not have anywhere else to go. None of the homeless campers involved in the court case had been offered social housing when they were threatened with fines and forced to move.” #homelessness
