I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission.
In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here:

I’ve only got Delta Goodrem and Guy Sebastian left on my calling for a royal commission bingo card. Feeling pretty confident.

Michael Slater should be seriously pissed they didn't ask him to sign the letter
Ha! The “sports stars” petition for an Antisemitism Royal Commission was signed by Sam Newman.

Yes, this guy, who platformed Nazis.

On one hand, this is some spicy commentary from Greg Chappell

On the other, it's nice to know that we millennials, the oldest of us about to enter middle age, the youngest turning 30, are still ruining things: "these players—predominantly millennials—risk unravelling 148 years of Ashes tapestry"

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

Having killed hundreds of aid workers, Israel is now completely banning 37 aid orgs from entering Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam, Caritas, and World Vision. This is an obvious war crime and thousands will die.
Any comment from our government?
'Simply unprecedented': Israel banning dozens of charities from Gaza
The Israeli government says the organisations have not met new requirements, which include recognising Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and banning any so-called "de-legitimisation" of Israel.

Not surprising that Israel’s list of most “antisemitic” Australians is only a list of people against genocide and contains not one far-right/Nazi.

Utterly.
This is absolutely despicable.
You know what, I’m feeling marginally less flippant about this insanity now that I know I’m on a list in a dossier prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs as a “key influencer” of antisemitism. This is munted.

Incredible to have the view that being "forced" to make a cake for gay blokes is tyranny but Jazz musicians be must perform for the regime...........
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

Dealing with a parent confronted by the sudden necessity of residential care is a study in wilfully negligent fanciful obstinacy. But otherwise it seems a lovely day out.

I haaaaate when places are built for cars, instead of humans!

I also forgot how much I hate Gungahlin 😑 So many yank tanks. And just so impractical - for both cars and humans!

Like, look at this footpath in front of Spotlight!

The 2025 pod that has made me think the most about unexpected things has been @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social. Both @moiradonegan.bsky.social and @adriandaub.bsky.social are fierce smart, suitably learned and adorably weird. Smash all the buttons.

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.
