The Australian, demonstrating how you bring the temperature down

This brought new tears to my eyes, as I had not even thought of this. This is cruelly cynical. #healHaines

Just back from doing the rounds at events for the Sydney, Newcastle and Canberra writers' festivals. So many people turned out! A reminder that more Australians attend live arts& cultural events than sports: (22 million v. 8.25 million ABS stats.) More Govt. support for the arts please!!

You are at point to lose your liberties.

⁨GET THE FACTS: The Coalition doubled Australia's gross debt even before COVID, and racked up almost two thirds of total gross debt. Between 2013-2022 the Coalition racked up more than $600bn of gross debt, and debt went from $257bn in 2013/14 to $542bn in 2018/19.⁩

I feel so ashamed as a proud Greek Australian to see Greeks booing a Welcome To Country last night. Shame on us. The First Nations community of Melbourne deserves a formal apology for the behaviour of Greek Australians last night. #australiacup #Hellas #SouthMelbourne #MelbourneVictory

Find yourself saying “f*** fossil fuels” & “I love 🐨🐨” more frequently as you age? You’re in luck cause we’re recruiting! Arts & craft peeps, tree huggers, all ages! Only rule is you wear the t-shirt at all our “events” (for the kiddies). 👀 knittingnannas.org/join/ ? in comments welcome.

David Pocock’s Commonwealth Land (Affordable Housing) Bill would require affordable housing to be built into residential development on Commonwealth land. It deserves support because public land should deliver lasting public value, not simply the highest possible sale price.

Finally, a government committed to rent control

Made it around #Uluru on my 95th birthday. So many friends helped me walk the 11kms. And so far we have raised 105000 dollars for @DorcasACTS. My grateful thanks.

One thing that becomes clear reading the latest intergenerational report is how central immigration is to this country’s future – even if only considered from an economic perspective. The number of Australians aged 85 and over is projected to triple by 2066. trib.al/0rJMD64

“Most LLMs (including those from OpenAI) are built on millions of scraped webpages and other large text datasets, and almost none of this content has been obtained with its owners’ knowledge or consent.” This is how tech executives talk when no one thinks they’re listening.

You taught me language, and my profit on’t Is, I know how to curse.

Nothing to worry about here.... just a bunch of tech billionaires colluding to control the raw materials needed to power the global AI boom.

The dog playing dead on command is the funniest thing you'll see today. Original post

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

For those who keep calling Liberals Communists, please note, banning news you don't like is Communism.

I love Iceland! 🇮🇸 Neither wild nor feral, almost all Icelandic horses are owned by farms or stables who release many of their herds into the rugged highlands to feed on rich, natural vegetation. #icelandichorses #icelandicfarmlife www.instagram.com/xlelesophiei...

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture, Tell them that God bids us do good for evil: And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ, And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

How shall we beguile The lazy time, if not with some delight?

Come, come, no more of this unprofitable chat.

@albomp.bsky.social very sad to see immigrants & immigration being used as political footballs, again:-(

Best watched on youtube so you don't get the crappy Ai words with all the mistakes:-)

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.
