Charlie Kirk one week after three children and three adults were killed at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee:

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”.

He never thought it included him.

The SA Energy Minister is worried that 'demonising' gas could lead to shortages and affect manufacturing.

🤔Doesn't make much sense when
❌ 80% of Australia's gas is exported
❌ More gas is used JUST to run the export terminals than by our ENTIRE manufacturing industry

“In the face of an unfolding tragedy such as Gaza, people feel powerless. Turning up and marching in a place that can accommodate huge numbers while garnering international attention is a legal and effective option to tell politicians they are tone deaf.”

"For the first time in two years, I felt like I was in the majority. It also gave the majority a picture of what these maligned and villainised protests really are: peaceful, powerful, loving declarations of freedom and democracy in action." #MarchForHumanity

The Harbour Bridge march felt different. The whole city turned up, not just students and activists but grandmothers and parents with prams. I felt like I was in the majority

Solidarity with everyone protesting in Sydney and Melbourne today. Thank you for standing up to prove to our government that this is not a fringe issue. Australians do not accept being forced to be complicit with this genocide.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Land-based sources contribute 70–80% of ocean plastics. Marine-based sources (mainly fishing gear) account for the remaining 20–30%. Microplastics (<5 mm) make up 90% of ocean plastic particles (mainly clothing fibers) and are detected in 60% of seafood. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Hi World, this is the utter contempt @albomp.bsky.social shows for ancient culture and our international obligations. Why? Because Woodside...because Labor.
"The Albanese government will launch a lobbying campaign in a bid to reverse a Unesco recommendation that an ancient rock art site in Western Australia can’t go on the world heritage list until damaging industrial emissions linked to a controversial Woodside gas development are stopped."

I installed a VPN because i read an article about airlines gouging you if they can identify you as you look for flights
The unintended positive is that now when i listen to Spotify the ads are in Japanese and are much less annoying than the Aussie blokey gambling ads I've been putting up with:)
