it’s hard to talk politics anymore because the natural response to everything is “oh they should be killed” but you’re not allowed to say it. it’s more illegal than open pedophilia

not be outdone, disgraced smh journalist Matthew Knott gives zionist Jeremy Liebler a right of reply to Jews Against the Occupation 48 whose Jewish members are not only not quoted on the event they actually organised but antisemitically erased from the story completely.
The third anniversary of October 7 will be marked not only by Jewish community commemorations in Australian capital cities but several pro-Palestinian vigils.
Zionist Federation of Australia president Jeremy Leibler decried the vigils as "an attempt to erase what happened on October 7"

nobody owns October 7 or September 11 or 26 January. Colonising a date is a disgusting thing to do. It is not up to the colonial white class in Israel or the USA or Australia to dictate how anniversaries are commemorated by subjugated Peoples.

the ABC has also chosen to erase the Jewishness of the Jewish group Jews Against the Occupation 48 and imply that only zionist organisations represent Australian Jews, an antisemitic lie. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

@aussiastronomer.bsky.social Sorry to bother you while you're at a conference, but I am wondering if, after the night's science and festivities are done, you would be willing to point me in the direction of a planetary scientist who specializes in exogeophysics.

wiping out the very jobs where they were supposed to launch their careers. Hiring for entry-level positions has collapsed since 2024. You can't tell an entire generation to 'work hard' when the first rung of the ladder has vanished. The streets are the only place left.

Both I and whichever Lego designer made the Women of NASA set appear to have had the same thought.
Closeup photo of the Lego set honoring Margaret Hamilton. An uneven stack of blue and white tiles echoes the stack of source code binders in the photo in OP’s post. A minifig of a young white woman with straight brown hair faces the stack, wearing the closest thing to a monochrome polyester outfit you can get when you’re a minifig. A board with formulas of some sort is in the background (i can’t see it very well, sorry).

What does the inequality crisis look like? This 👇 98% of public schools are underfunded – that’s 2.6 million kids without the resources they need for the education they deserve. Yet the richest private schools are charging massive fees while banking billions of public dollars.
