As an eye doctor:

All of this is correct

Yes, you can neutralize an acid in a lab with an alkaline substance. Alkalines are WORSE for the eyes than acids.

Organics such as milk have a chance to facilitate infection as the bio protective processes are compromised

I wonder if any Australian journalists will ask Herzog about the use of thermobaric weapons against Palestinians?

It is a irredeemable mark of shame that @albomp.bsky.social has brought Herzog and his retinue to Australia.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

It brings me no joy seeing the cops treating people like they have always been allowed to treat us. Old ladies with smashed spines, young guys have thier jaws wired up, broken bones, traumatised. Broken and misplaced trust .

Extraordinary footage. Police pulling off people engaged in peaceful prayer.

It fills my heart to see the footage from all the demonstrations against Herzog & the ongoing genocide. I dearly wanted to be there, unfortunately my disability did its thing today, so solidarity at a distance is what I have.

End the genocide. Prosecute the war criminals.

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.

It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

"significant animosity" cos "They invite someone accused of war crimes & then accuse us of being the ones breaching social cohesion when we're the ones just trying to uphold the basic tenets of morality & humanity & international law"

@albomp.bsky.social's "unity" & "social cohesion" is a mockery
The NSW police commissioner admits that the Herzog visit will cause so much animosity that it could hurt communities. That's one of the criteria for cancelling visas under the character test. Instead, he bans protests. Our democracy means nothing. #auspol

Opinion | This demonstration of national apathy towards Indigenous lives shows that, if anything, we must stand stronger and get louder, writes Celeste Liddle.
As a rally organiser, the Boorloo bombing has triggered a series of 'what ifs'
It should not have taken community outcry to have escalated this threat beyond a mere 'hostile attack' charge.
