It seems northern Tasmania is about to host its first naval weapons manufacturer. And why? Because of lax testing regulations. I'm disappointed that the Maritime College and UTAS have made the decision to allow them access to their facilities at Beauty Point. pulsetasmania.com.au/news/underwa...

Even on an overcast day, George Town can charm. I paused in my walk to town to get to the chemist. My left arm is broken and in a sling, and my car is a manual so no driving for a few months yet.

Because what better excuse to start a genocide than taking part in the action themselves and killing hundreds of their own people so they could then incite the Israeli population into hatred?

Doesn't surprise me. When I worked in Ashley from 89-93 the general attitude from the staff there was that they were all grifters and just needed a boot up the arse. I can think of just 4 of us who understood where those kids came from and just myself & 1 other had professional qualifications.

This is the first I've heard of this, though I'm not much of a Mindfulness person. "In Buddhist tradition there are a range of terms used to describe meditation-related adverse effects, including meditation sickness, Zen sickness and wind disorder." www.abc.net.au/news/health/...

In recent years, there has been a huge uptake in meditation, promoted to improve mental and physical health. But it can be harmful for some people.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

The Shot @theshot.net.au · 02/09/2026
Editorial statement regarding the recent Crikey piece.
In Crikey, Sami Shah stated that The Shot is anti-Semitic, describing our masthead as “an attempt at a satirical site for people who found Facebook comments insufficiently moderated” and our work as “Practically demonstrations of antisemitism". Embarrassingly, in the same week, The Australian more accurately described us as “left-wing” and “probing the limits of law and language”.  
 
Sami singled out two article headlines, The royal commission into the hurt feelings of genocidal psychopaths and Updates from the royal commission into the selective outrage of Zionists, which he clearly didn’t read before accusing us of sloppy “media criticism”. The headlines were mine, the body copy written by Joel Jenkins. They were no-bullshit, reality based tear downs of the fascistic assaults on our democracy, which all of us can see so plainly with our own eyes. Even liberal Zionist cowards like Shah. 
During a mass slaughter that our government is supporting materially and diplomatically, it's not good enough to have segments of the indie media community trying to un-stretch the Overton Window back inside the borders set by decades of hasbara, horrifically biased and supremacist mass media, and the whims of the genocidal psychopaths. We don’t know how many Australians love milquetoast fence-sitting during atrocity, but Pew research shows that 80% of us despise Israeli atrocity and fascistic overreach into our democracies.

As a credo, I try to treat people with the same level of respect I am shown. We have done more serious analysis and investigative reporting on this depravity than Crikey has, a much larger outlet with more staff and resources. Over the years, The Sunday Shot has also platformed many Crikey writers. Needless to say, that moment has passed us by.To make such petty remarks at some of the few unvarnished truth-tellers in Australian journalism on this subject, in this moment of abject moral failure, of cowardice and of complicity, speaks to the hollow pettiness of Shah’s analysis. Focus on what really matters, please. 

There is enough genocide apologia in the corporate press already. It's pathetic to see it in the indie space, too. Do better, Crikey, your readers expect more. 

Fuck fascism. Free Palestine.
