Australia, if this man has to want for or worry about anything for the rest of his life, you have failed as a nation of “a fair go”
Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Let’s all enjoy the endless laughs and joy he brought to our lives rather the hideous takes
One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Dear NPR, why are you platforming a piece of sh&t extremist like Netanyahu over this? He barely represents all Jews in Israel, let alone those in other countries.
Hundreds had gathered for an event at Bondi Beach called Chanukah by the Sea, which was celebrating the start of the Hanukkah Jewish festival. n.pr/4afN0RN

I hope this lovely man recovers nicely. A true hero helping protect other humans who were celebrating their religion. We’re all people, we should be helping each other, whether Jewish, Muslim, Christian, atheist or whatever
A bystander named Ahmed al Ahmed --a 43-year-old Sydney local who owns a fruit shop in Sutherland.--tackled one of the gunmen. He was shot twice himself but is being praised in Australian media as saving lives: www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

Went and saw Billy Wayne Davis at Velveeta Room in Austin, and some boomer tourist who came over from Esther’s Follies started heckling him over Trump and easy Texas jokes. Like nearly started arguing with him during his set.
