When I was a younger man I wondered what diseases would be cured in my lifetime, now that I am older and wiser, I wonder what previously eradicated diseases will come back in time to kill me.

"If you are serious...You will accept the consensus of scholars that Israel has committed genocide - and abide by legal obligations that flow from that. Total arms embargo and sweeping sanctions." Owen's advice to Burnham applies to Australia's PM. Who won't even go as far as Burnham's tokenism.

Is there any point playing anymore World Cup games? If reality and the truth don’t matter anymore why not just give the cup to Trump?

Of course he’s good but of course he’s scored more World Cup goals than anyone else. He’s still playing in his 40’s and he’s played way more games. So not a very meaningful statistic.

🚨Today marks 1,000 days of genocide in Gaza. In this video we show ten of Israel’s most well-documented crimes

They're far from the worst atrocities they committed, but together they paint a clear picture of the brutality, deception & impunity that have allowed them to continue

Iran, during its strikes, did not hit a single hospital or school, not even accidentally, while Israel and the United States, both claiming to possess some of the most advanced and precise military technology in the world, have repeatedly been linked to attacks on civilian infrastructure.

Today we grieve 1,000 days of genocide perpetrated by the Israeli and US governments against Palestinians in Gaza. For 1,000 days, the Israeli military has systematically flattened Gaza — and now Lebanon — to make it impossible for Palestinians and Lebanese to return to their homes.

Albonese saying he’s “not against someone having a punt” is simply craven subservience to the gambling industry. No one is trying to ban gambling. It’s state capture - again.

Crammed with big ideas, era-defining structural changes to the way the country is run. Hugely ambitious, but deliverable. Expressed with compelling emotional language, which side-steps culture war divisions.
