We have a system that tackles inflation by suppressing the household income of workers while protecting housing wealth & corporate profits. Until the concentration of wealth in the country is confronted, working people will keep paying the price.

I’m assuming that a calculation was made about the implications of starting development sans permit versus delay and risk coming under new regulations. This is a good example of why any regulations need to cover both new and exisiting AI data centres. #politas #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

People keep talking about how you know how beloved Dolly Parton was because of how she’s being remembered. Spare a thought for how she was loved & hated while still alive. Tell the people who are doing good shit that you appreciate them now. Dolly fought thru a lot of hate. Not everyone can!

"Parton explained that as well as improving child literacy, “it’s the fact they get recognised. They get this little book with their little name on it in the mail, and they feel special. They start taking pride in themselves, and they know that somebody out there is thinking of [them].” I mean, OMG

🚨 Israeli strike hits near journalists' gathering spot, outside hospital gate

An Israeli strike hit outside the gate of Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital compound in central Gaza, next to a public workspace where journalists routinely gather. 

Footage captured by Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed shows the bloody aftermath of the attack, with several wounded rushed into the hospital.

"I found blood on the ground, the wounded, and martyrs. I even carried one of the injured people inside Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital," eyewitness Mohammed Ibrahim told Drop Site.

"There is no safe place—not a street, not a shop, not a hospital, not a house."

Journalist Amer Al-Farra, who was working in the public workspace when the strike hit, said they had been "carrying out journalistic and professional duties" when the explosion sent glass and shrapnel into their midst.

"We were sitting here because we believed this was a safe place in front of a hospital," he said. "There is no safe place in the Gaza Strip." 

At least six Palestinians have been killed and more than 20 wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza since this morning, according to Al Jazeera.

Yo, Jillian ... Gaza over-represented, the media painting Israel 'constantly' in a negative light? When there's no other 'light' - than 'negative'- with which to view the circumstances that Israel has placed Palestine in, & Gaza specifically, what exactly do you expect the 'painting' to look like?
