After the Harbour Bridge march showed Labor they might've misread the public mood on Palastine. Luke Hilakari was sent to speak at the march in Melbourne. Some people heckled him the entire time, and while some people were confused, I present this as evidence that they were very right to do it

Focussing on this from a pure security perspective, it’s wild that an IS-linked attack was just carried out in Australia and we’re barely talking about it - the focus is on protestors and universities.

I feel like I am losing my mind. The walls of repression and authoritarianism are closing in and it's all being pushed by the petty losers in the Labor Party. So I once again must ask, what is the point of them?

Probably just a coincidence that the list of Australia's new fossil fuel projects will come out on the Friday before Xmas.

From the article:
"KKR has faced widespread criticism for its reported connections to Israeli tech and data firms, weapons manufacturers and defence contractors"
So that's who Australia is giving taxpayer money to, while simultaneously ordering funding cuts to Australian hospitals.

And the Tories looked back along the beach and asked why sometimes there were only one set of prints, and the Labor Party replied, "That was when I carried you."
Sorry kids, believe us, we tried, really hard, to push our political leaders to do better.

I've been near just one US 1000 pound bomb explosion in my lifetime. We were about half a kilometre away. The noise, and pure gut-moving energy of the thing are deeply etched. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to have Israel rain US bombs on you, day after day, for weeks, months, years.
Here's what the US did for Laos, by personal experience -- a giant Yank UXO explosion, completely without warning, 30 years after Kissinger's war crime.
It used to be the most bombed place on earth yk, before Israel's Gaza. There's plenty still there.

Hello nerds. I have an iPod Classic 6th Gen that I’ve heard you can mod to upgrade with a larger SSD and even a Bluetooth transmitter. I do not have the time or skills to do this but would pay a fair price to have it done. Recommendations? Pitfalls? Advice?

Honestly, this is the simple truth underpinning politics across the world. The fossil fuel industry is funding the rise of fascism to prevent democratic action to stop climate change heated.world/p/charlie-ki...
Charlie Kirk was a fossil fuel industry plant
Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.
