Progressive, tea slurping, book thumbing, humanist. Here for the views & news. Against Genocide. Against the bastardry of the Oligarchs & their puppets. Immigrant from Twitter.

Hmmm...I've found it challenging to make a first Blue Sky post and to break a twitter habit that has gone on daily for years.

Any journey begins with a first step. Thanks for the welcome good luck everyone, let's do this! 👊

What we learned from that caravan hoax is that division in this country comes far more from media and populist politics than it does from ordinary people. Anti semitism has been weaponised by media and the right to still protest and wedge the left. That’s the true evil.

A shame AUS media refuses to repeat this instead of repeating "Peter Dutton says"...

64.5% of AUS population now have jobs.
The HIGHEST on record.

Or, if journos find words to difficult,
just publish the graph.
It's worth more than a thousand of their words.

A poll has found Donald Trump is ranked the greatest threat to world peace by Australians, an even greater threat than Trump’s puppet master Putin. I hope Aussies are putting two and two together and recognising Dutton is Temu-Trump who risks bringing Trump chaos to Australia #DontRiskDutton

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way"

Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated...

Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

When planning my next explosive attack I often leave my gear in an old caravan with a note about my intentions in order to stop the brilliant NSW Police from finding out about what I am up to…

The caravan wasn't even parked on the property.

It was parked up the road.

As in most suburbs, caravans, boats & trailers are parked wherever people can find a spot.

Are we set for mass panic about 'suspect' caravans now? 🙄

Are caravans now Antisemitic?

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Interestingly, I have lost 60,000 followers on Twitter since Election Day - presumably, mostly, from people deactivating their accounts and heading over here - but over here on Bluesky I have picked up 400,000 new followers since Election Day.

This graph explains the motives behind Dutton’s nuclear “plan”. He is trying to disrupt the rise of renewables to keep coal in business. Why isn’t this the frame through which media report about his plan? Instead they give it legitimacy by characterising it as well meaning.

This genuinely scares me, as an Australian Jew

The refusal to accept legitimate criticism, and the awful accusation that legitimate criticism is antisemitic, is, imho, among the leading drivers of antisemitism, and paints our community in a very negative light.

It’s what I feared from the envoy

Our ABC Radio news & discussion is repeating Dutton’s false claims about nuclear power.

They turn coverage into a popularity contest from uninformed non experts.

Stick to experts on energy types , energy financing, climate science. Stick to facts & not feel-pinions of uninformed vested interests.
