So a sports star turned wealth manager can add a $13.M five bed Toorak mansion, 6-car garage, cinema, wine cellar, gym & pool to his property portfolio: & one rough sleeper has to choose between a dodgy rooming house for one night or risk physical & sexual assault on the streets again. #GrantHackett

So women deal with abuse, assault daily, lgbtiqa+ people deal with bullying & homophobia daily, trans people get murdered, disabled people get mocked and parodied, POC get hung, yet Israelis cry about anti-Israel graffiti whilst their government perpetuates war crimes. Cry me a fucking river.

#ChrissyAmphlett was an absolute force of nature. There are so many stunning divas, iconoclasts, rule breakers and rule makers but she literally broke the world and remade it in her image. She freed so many of us by showing us that the world was so much bigger and wilder than we ever realised.

Why do competitive reality tv shows always have to have, as a matter of course, one effete, overdressed peacock-y wanker judge? Especially one who has to wear pants that show the dubiously suggestive outline of his genitalia?

In my four years of living in Glasgow, orange marches were full of ostensibly thrilling pipes and drums & yet they were the most dour, joyless, funereal processions I have ever experienced, fraught with tension & the implicit threat of violence (I was warned to cross the road only after they passed)

Sigh. I don't get the point of this article. Are you saying your handful of anecdotal stories and a single personal experience somehow transcend the factual scientific evidence that there is faecal and microbial contamination? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sigh. The Australian War Memorial being funded by (to quote #MediaWatch “merchants of death”) considered to be okay. $1 below threshold for ministerial scrutiny. My grandfather died from a myocardial infarction, his heart weakened due to starvation as a POW. I can’t ask him his opinion.

Seriously: fuck me. The people who call themselves naturopaths these days. Charlatans, mentalists, snake oil sales people. There was a time when legit naturopaths almost had credibility but this “wellness” bullshit has broken us. That and still no formal training or registration. Some real but few.

Um @pink, your queer credibility is rescinded, your human rights activism badge is rescinded, your care for women, minorities, even children & babies - all rescinded. If you support the actions of the Israeli government in creating the largest cohort of child amputees - consider yourself rescinded.

Italo Calvino from If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler. Relevant discussion of gen Ai from 50 years ago… “What is the reading of a text, in fact, except the recording of certain thematic recurrences, certain insistences of forms and meanings?”

Text that reads:

I asked Lotaria if she has already read some books of mine that I lent her. She said no, because here she doesn't have a computer at her disposal.
She explained to me that a suitably programmed computer can read a novel in a few minutes and record the list of all the words contained in the text, in order of fre-quency. "That way I can have an already completed reading at hand," Lotaria says, "with an incalculable saving of time. What is the reading of a text, in fact, except the recording of certain thematic recurrences, certain insistences of forms and meanings? An electronic reading supplies me with a list of the frequencies, which I have only to glance at to form an idea of the problems the book suggests to my critical study. Naturally, at the highest frequencies the list records countless articles, pronouns, particles, but I don't pay them any attention. I head straight for the words richest in meaning; they can give me a fairly precise notion of the book."

The power and control Israel has over Palestinian lives and deaths. It's an incredible stance to take. Palestinians need saving from Israel, and nothing else matters in the meantime. They have the right to resist the apartheid and genocide.

A quote from Gabor Mate 'Nobody ever asks how should Palestinians respond to Israel’s daily brutal treatment for 75 years.'

In a #secular #nation I still fail to understand why any #independent or #faith-based schools still get state/federal funding. #PublicSchools should be the sole recipient of taxpayer funding. Freely teach your children faith on your own time, clutch your largesse if you wish: do not use my money.

Many Jews oppose Zionism. And there are more non-Jews who are Zionists than Jews. So, yes Pink. If you are a Zionist you should feel ashamed. Because it isn’t a “slur.” It is an admission of racism.

Wow. #Pink has shown her true colours. Which #Palestinians “deserve a future”? The tens of thousands of dead ones (children, families, whole generations) or millions displaced? You’re incredibly privileged & pretend you’re taking a hurt for Jewishness: you’re defending genocide. #israel #zionism

#Victorian #Labor are racing to the bottom in terms of leadership. #BenCarroll being the lowest rung on the ladder since the last one: fuelling the expansion of a police state through new stop and search laws. Why aren’t the free speech warriors complaining about a nanny state now?

I wonder if we stop treating elite sportspeople like tin gods, they’ll stop acting like they are? And if you follow the money they are not the people who truly benefit from being venerated. Corrupt orporations, betting companies and organised crime are the real winners.

Children in conflict zones. Sexual slavery violence and murder. Trying to map out a path between my studies and my experience and my understanding of being in the world, in order to find a point of inflection where I can make some kind of change.

So #ChipLeGrand has no hesitation calling Joanne Scott a junkie who tormented her children, quotes her son describing her as “a junkie, an alcoholic” (she now runs a gym) yet #WarrenPickering, who used pills, pot, meth, repeatedly cheated, etc is raw sad uplifting & redemptive #OneNation #TheAge

"People continue to be killed in Gaza, Palestinian families remain besieged in the West Bank, and the Israeli political right has been removing all doubt that these violations are intentional, by telling the world of its hopes and plans." Why has most of the world gone selectively deaf? #Auspol
