If the VPN I'm using fails to circumvent this, I just want to say that it's been nice, here, for the last couple of years but I'm not going to comply. I will NOT be submitting my face, or any form of ID, to a third party verification system that will sell it to all the bidders.
At last there is a REDcycle replacement in Australia! It can take soft plastic items [that] are "scrunchable" and don't spring back into their original shape after being crushed.

Common items include plastic bags, snack wrappers and cling or shrink film.

Your soft plastic bags can once again be recycled. Here's how
Australia's first large-scale soft plastics recycling facility is processing huge loads each day, turning waste into a useful raw material.

This sounds like a blueprint for Trump and now endorsed by most conservative parties the world over and now also being picked up by so-called 'progressive' parties like the Labor party. Divide, conquer, control. It just works.
Keeper of the Flame (1942), starring Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy.

Since the ABC's Macdonald says Israel's mass murder in Gaza doesn't matter 'because Sudan', maybe should again look at that horrendous place. According to the BBC's Lyse Doucet, who, unlike Macdonald, might know, the Sudanese Civil War is a proxy war between the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.

Al Jazeera has an excellent article, illustrated with clear maps, on how the Israelis have shrunk the Palestinian areas over generations since the 1930’s . I encourage anyone to read it. It is titled ‘Israel-Palestine conflict: A brief history in maps and charts’ on www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11...

This! Absolutely spot on.
I really do not want to be offensive here and I do understand you went through an event that has irrevocably changed your lives, but you can not ask for a royal commission into antisemitism without including the actions of the Israeli govt in the last 80 years. #auspol

Nuclear SMRs were never really meant to work. For the companies it's a pump-and-dump fraud and for the offtakers it's perpetually-around-the-corner greenwashing so they can build filthy fossil gas for data centres today and tomorrow

Mini nuclear reactors are already losing their glow
Several studies suggest SMRs will produce higher levels of nuclear waste than traditional plants

Jewish Voices for Peace on the IOF using spent missile casings to represent a menorah on the ruins of Indonesian Hospital - which they blew up - at Beit Lahia, Gaza. Minns and Moore align us with this racist supremacist genocidal campaign (sic) by capitulating to zionist demands.

Breaking up the EU creates separate - and vulnerable - countries that can more easily be invaded/infiltrated and exploited for its resources. EU is not a 'liberal stronghold' it's an entity that has resisted US/Russian/Middle Eastern plunder and must be destroyed for that reason alone.
BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

Black father kills a man who tried to rape his daughter & media posts his solo mug shot.

White father murders his wife, shoots step child, kills himself, & media posts his smiling picture with family.

Make no mistake, this is how media normalizes white supremacy & extremism. We must reject it.

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine
A new study finds that men who are anxious about their masculinity are less likely to care about climate change. They may view environmental concern as a feminine trait that threatens their image.
