My cousin’s shirt took me a second. He said “it’s great because anyone who would be offended by it couldn’t understand it anyway.”
A shirt with the following words in rainbow colors:
Fluorine
Uranium
Carbon
Potassium
Titanium
Rubidium

#Queensland women, you'll need to fight. Your govt is discarding your rights and choices. Demand no public funds for this hospital until it provides contraception & full range of care. Extremist religious activists cannot be allowed to hijack public health to force girls & women to give birth.

Travellers & tourists should be aware the #Hilton hotel chain just fired a franchisee who wouldn't rent a room to ICE thugs. If you stay at a Hilton/Doubletree (or affiliates) you might be next door to a trigger-happy goon squad, or supporting a brand that's made a choice to stand with them.

Let's break ABCTV's ratings at 7.30 tonight (or on iView). Don't miss Lorin Clarke's doco about John Clarke, which is, as he was, very clever, reflective, insightful, nuanced, surprising, funny and entirely necessary. #ClarkeFamilyProject
An ABC 'publicity department' tile featuring a black and white photo of satirist/writer/director/hat enthusiast John Clarke, and the frankly silly slogan 'An Aussie Icon' which is frankly a good deal less clever than the doco made by his daughter, writer/director/blue jumper enthusiast Lorin, or himself, and is possibly designed to ignite escalating tensions with NZ.

'World Literacy Foundation' issued NZ Press Release with at least half non-existent AI-invented titles; widely printed. Founded in Melbourne & 'reaching 115 million people', its website could be clearer on staff, board, offices. An inquiring reporter might find an interesting story here. #AIslop

The world sees Australia: an antisemitic atrocity; a zombie ex-PM lurches out of his Jason recliner to cancel out his previous, one-off moral stance for better gun laws; dull-witted racists plan to assemble, fomented by neo-Nazis & whingeing egotists Hanson & Joyce. All the would-be dividers.

THERE'S A REASON WHY REPUBLICANS KEEP LOSING IN ELECTION AFTER ELECTION: IT'S BECAUSE THEIR POLICIES FUCKING SUCK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY TREMENDOUS POST IN WHICH I DELVE INTO YESTERDAY'S DEM VICTORIES. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4pvACla
the lesson in all this for Donny and his Republican enablers is that none of their fuckery is popular.

We the People don’t want masked and armed Gestapo thugs terrorizing our neighborhoods and teargassing our children. We the People don’t want incoherent economic policies that send prices ever upwards. We the People don’t want a broken government that works only for billionaires.

We the People don’t want an unhinged and deteriorating 34-count narcoleptic fart factory ruling over us. yesterday’s election results made that clear.

Please check out the website saveslv.com and/or follow @save.our.library on Instagram. A series of rolling scandals, so-called 'restructuring', threats to staff & bizarre appointments have boiled over into a full-blown crisis threatening the whole purpose & future of the State Library of Victoria.
"While the library (management) has denied much of the reporting, this masthead has seen the restructure document detailing the proposed cuts." - quote from a news story by Kerrie O'Brien, The Age reporter.

Why has the State Library given over building space & marketing messages to 'entrepreneurs' using it to lobby for their own for-profit private business funding, from inside our premier public Library? What on earth does this have to do with the core functions of a State Library now in crisis?
Facebook page excerpt from 'Start Space' a network and support and to attract funding for private for-profit start-up companies and 'entrepreneurs' which has taken over space and resources of the State Library of Victoria

#Victorians! Our State Library is being trashed by a series of executives with no experience or understanding of public collections. Many hired as 'temps' without full process, who then caused scandals & exodus of specialist & librarian staff: a full wreck looms. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

State Library proposes major cuts to staff and services
The library plans halve the number of reference librarians it employs and reduce the number of computers available for public use in a move that has outraged staff.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

After Jacinta Price jumped from the National to Liberal party room, I am enjoying watching David Littleproud on 7:30 keep saying, "Price is not my problem, she's Ley's problem, ask Sussan."

Six months ago, the US economy was stable. NATO was united. Our personal data was secure. And our military bases weren’t under attack. Maybe Jake Tapper could write a book about that.

The Saturday Paper @thesaturdaypaper.com.au · 16/01/2025
“Peter Dutton’s passion and commitment in condemning anti-Semitism is laudable, yet a similar attitude is lacking in relation to Indigenous disadvantage. This is not the approach of a strong leader," writes John Hewson. "This is the work of a divisive opportunist.”

It’s an important day for journalists writing about Dutton’s nuclear costings 💩. Today is the day you show if you’re a: 👉🏻propagandist for fossil fuels 👉🏻a stenographer who platforms manipulative lies unchecked, or 👉🏻Ideally, a watchdog who fact-checks and holds power to account. 🧐 Which will it be?
