Pro-Palestine 🍉🍉🍉, anti-Murdoch Australian greenie. A lifelong leftie who thinks billionaires should be fired into the sun and that Israel's committing genocide. 'Retired' by Covid-19 before my time.
Getting a good background on evangelical Christian support for Israel in this book. A "Really?" on just about every page. And of course they're the very worst people - and barking mad to boot.
Lots of info too on the surprisingly long history and perpetual disparagement of Muslims in the US.

Every smartphone, EV, e-bike and tablet relies on cobalt. The majority is mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo under appallingly exploitative conditions. Companies like Apple, Samsung, Glencore and Tesla spread the fiction that their supply lines are ethical. They are not. A shocking read.

Australia has closely copied Britain in its demonisation of Muslims and its tolerance of Islamophobia. The book explains the why and the how.

"Big it up", "Go for gold", "Make it marble" and "Have yourself everywhere" were some of key recommendations for those chasing dictator style in this satirical book. With Trump's frightful golden kitsch, we probably need an update.

This Orwellian doublethink 👇👇 published in @theguardian.com.
Note to authors: a so-called 'ceasefire' where one side (Israel) hits the other side daily with airstrikes IS NOT A CEASEFIRE.
It is aggression.
The media must stop these mad contortions.
Israel is a violent, genocidal land thief.

I'll think I'll have to grow into it but I was excited to get my Truth, Lies and Media T-shirt today. Thanks @nicolechvastek.bsky.social
If you want one of your own, become a supporter at buymeacoffee.com/truthliesand....
We need more eyes on media as mainstream media are failing us badly.

This book is handy for the world we live in now. Boris was a serial liar as is Trump. But Labor here are catching up, especially their lies about Israel/Gaza, the environment, FOI and more. Lying destroys democracy because democracy relies on shared truths.

Wow, a BIG storm in Brisbane. The thunder and lightning shook the ground here. Hail on the roof sounded like a giant trying to break in. Golf ball hailstones. Thick tree branches down. Just cleared the road.

Revolting double standards in reporting on Gaza by Michael Koziol in today's SMH. This is racist bias

Serial liar Netanyahu on the news laughably claiming that Hamas has torpedoed all ceasefire deals.
This from the murderous sh1tgibbon who has rejected ALL DEALS & who just tried to murder Hamas mediators in Qatar.
Why is this crazed maniac still allowed air time?
He is a wanted war criminal.

I am with @fionakatauskas.bsky.social on this. I always have a bit of cash for emergencies. Some shops actually prefer it. But finding an ATM is increasingly a challenge. ATMs everywhere in London but almost no one accepts cash there. Here you can use cash but good luck getting hold of any ...

88% of Israel's so-called 'investigations' into its relentless killing of civilians, aid and medical workers and journalists in Gaza are either shut down completely with no action taken or are left unresolved.
They have a culture of total impunity.
SO WRONG.

More evidence of Israeli bastardry. They had a whole unit to try to smear and discredit Palestinian journalists like Anas al-Sharif.
Israeli cries of 'Hamas, Hamas' about these brave reporters are AS USUAL absolute LIES.
