Recognising a Palestinian state is one thing, but how can there -be- a Palestinian state without forcing the Israelis out of all the illegal settlements and reuniting Palestinian territory? ...does anyone believe that The West is likely to put together a UN force to oversee that?
"Rocket City", "Big Beautiful Bill", MAGA, ...why does everything in the Trump era America sound like it's coming out of a 1950s comic book?
Why do people of a religious mindset assume that their creator/God is good, rather than some evil demiurge? All evidence would point to the latter.
Since the beginning, humans have been a singularly evil species. From Cain & Abel to the extermination of the Neanderthals, Denisovans and other branches of the human tree, no other species has so consistently raped, tortured and murdered its fellows, and devastated flora, fauna and nature itself.
Only between the ears so far.
"Speaking of retirement, that’s what Albanese should do if he wants to run a government but can’t bring himself to govern. No shame in being past it." Gittens on Albanese's do-nothing government. A govt led by middle managers with a do-nothing attitude. #auspol www.smh.com.au/business/the...
Australian Gov't ministers collectively place their fingers in their ears and sing in unison: "La la la, la la lala, la la la, la la lala, la la la, la la lala!" ...while they await instructions from Jillian Segal and her confidential and secret advisers as to their response.
Jellyback Albanese claims that "some good people" joined the white supremacist marches on Sunday. No they didn't. They went along knowing full well the agenda was hijacked by the neo-nazis & the extreme right. They went anyway because below their exterior "decency", they are racists and fascists.
I think you meant: a Lebanese Thesbian. ...for the jury...
Only to be expected. Easier to shepherd compliant sheep than corral wild bulls. Besides, many of them are mates and gym buddies.
Beyond the Israeli theft of Palestinian land, is the theft of their identity. Destruction of land, birth death and marriage records, even graves; of their ancient wells and olive trees. Destruction of their schools, universities, hospitals, museums, mosques, churches, and libraries. Of their history
Looks like death warmed over. ...So if Trump becomes (is) incapable of doing his job, how long can they keep it a secret?
"...prepared to become president..." isn't exactly as reassuring as he thinks it is.
They are downloading his brain onto a 2.25" floppy disk so that they can have an AI version of their cult leader even after he's finished rotting out from the inside.
Perfect. Dumbshitification of the masses has been a human goal for kings, emperors, dictators, and religions since "civilization" began.
Yes; Victoria, but I'd bet London to a brick it goes for all states and territories. It's farcical.
Local trade was telling me that in our town he's been in several homes where there were at least 8-10 unsecured firearms around the place. The police never check licenses and gun-safe storage compliance, but will raid and bust kids for a joint of ganja.
About time. Hopefully others will follow.
I'm cringing with embarrassment already.

The indonesian government has blocked VPN access "Indonesia is currently in chaos. Earlier today, the government blocked access to Twitter & Discord knowing news spread mainly through those channels. Usually we can use Cloudflare's WARP to avoid it, but just today they blocked the access as well"
OK. My bad. Learned something new. Thanks.
I should have thought that the stars should be top right, as they appear on the flagpole without wind.
Hard decision. Nobel Peace Prize or Mediterranean waterfront property with a Trump Tower. Hmmmm! I think i know what his family is pushing for.
Trump as "Big Brother" on every screen, enabled by the tech oligarchs surely can't be long away. ...at least they hung the US flag next to his in distress mode. Nice touch. ...and it hasn't even been 200 days.
Apart from the toll taken on his health, wealth and relationships, but yes, at least the uncertainty is at an end. We need whistleblowers protected, not prosecuted!
#breaking Greens just set up an inquiry into Labor's secret climate risk report. People have leaked that this report is "dire”, “diabolical” & “extremely confronting”. We deserve to know the truth about what climate change will do to Australia.
Is Linda Reynolds donating her defamation payout to a charity working to end violence against women? We are all asking this question, I’m sure.
Now if I were an operative for a foreign power wanting to stir trouble so there'd be sympathy for my country, I'd pretend to be an operative of my enemy country when hiring the troublemakers, and leave clues incriminating them. Win, win. I get sympathy for us and blame on them. ...just saying...
...and there's worse. Truly vomitous. How do these people sleep at night and look at themselves in the mirror in the morning? What sort of person do you have to be to suck up all that faux adulation?
It's literally terrorism. They are making people afraid to get food or water, afraid to go to school, afraid to seek medical aid, and afraid to offer help to others! And they aren't even trying to hide it!
#palestine
Fuck "future generations"! We're currently complicit in the extermination of current and future generations of the Palastinian peoples, culture and history. The guilt is on us and now, not passed on to some future history when we're long gone.
We're not just living in a new world of AI, but of alternate reality, and have been for some considerable time.
It truly beggars all belief. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
??? I have -never- said any such thing, and to the best of my recollection, I've never yet deleted a post on BlueSky.
I would have no issue if Lorraine Finlay, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner, was attending the summit to put the record straight, call out the conflation of anti-zionism and anti-genocide with antisemitism, and the human rights of Palestinians, but I highly doubt she is intending to do that.
@albomp.bsky.social twists himself into a pretzel to yet again appease the Zionists. ...what the hell do they have on that man/mouse?
Well done @albomp.bsky.social You fell for the trap Hook line and sinker
Even the cameras are Hamas.
I leave that as a problem to be solved by the reader.
I want to believe in the Tooth Fairy while I still gave a few teeth left. ...just saying...
Time we stopped calling it "Climate change". Climate change has always been with us. What we have now is accelerated climate -instability-. You can adapt to climate change, plant earlier or later, change crops, change from cropping to herding etc... what you can't deal with is climate instability.
Demented, delusional narcissist. There are saner men in padded rooms.
OK @albomp.bsky.social I'll play, but I want to see some real evidence. Seems to me to be a little to convenient a scapegoat and too little motive, whereas I can see huge motivation for such provocative actions from another actor.
So when does Australia designate Mossad as a terrorist organisaton?
Extinction is an option.
If the Buddha saw the universe in a single grain of rice, image what he would have seen in this dandelion.
Well they got the "We want to mine" bit right, but the rest, and phantom job creation is pure BS.
Next up: Trump: "What's the point of having a Dept of War if we don't have a war? I'd like to see that. We should win a war again and then I can get the Nobel Peace Prize. It will be a beautiful thing." ...parody (...I hope...)
Australia beware! Are you watching @albomp.bsky.social ?
Bwahahaha! Piss in his pocket, shower on his ego, and promise him a Trump erection in North Korea. Trump era diplomacy in the Oval Office.
How long will the United States of America, remain united? ...just wondering...
Time to revive the old Banana Republic cry: "Yankees Go Home!"
Are you reading this @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social ?
"Whether we can come back from this moment is a story yet unknown. But it’s clear today America is different and, even if we fight our way back, it will never be the same again." The whole world is wondering the same thing. It's clear that our relationships with the USA need to change as well.
I'm sure that the "tragic mishap" in Netanyahu's eye is that they didn't manage to totally eliminate the negative media coverage.
America still thinks the shit they are in is Hollywood.
What a wonderful story about how we all benefit when people are given the opportunity to explore their full potential without restrictions.
Sorry to say that the 'Holocost' card and the "anti-semetism" cards no longer hold sway with me. They were, decades ago, devalued to the point of pointless debate. Those who disagree and want to argue the point are welcome to consider themselves as collateral damage of the Zionist propaganda.
Excellent result. May all such landlord actions result in similar results.
So sad, and so true.
"Where is the world in all of this? How can an entire planet watch two million people be starved, bombed, and stripped of dignity, and still do nothing?" #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
TOO MUCH INFORMATION !!!
What if hundreds of thousands of citizens held a rally in support of the lives of Palestinians, an end to the genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and land theft, ...and no politician gave a f**k? ... welcome to 2025.
...Sadly, if each had put a dollar into a brown paper bag for their local politicians' lunch tomorrow, they stiĺl wouldn't outweigh the Zionist lobbies influence. ...why is that?
Good on all those Australians who marched in support of Palastinians and an end to the genocides, as well as all those who couldn't attend but supported in spirit.
"We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan. "Before the year is out." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Said_Ha...
Yes; yes it is! 1/3rd + of you voted for it, and another 1/3rd couldn't be bothered to vote against it. To this day the vast majority of you keep a low profile in the vein hope that the ICE Gestapo or DOGE won't come after you. You either actively act or disappear into the void. No 3rd way.
Sorry to tell you, but this *is* the United States. Vote for Nazi dictators?! Get Nazi dictators and thugs in the streets enforcing “laws” and keeping “peace”.
Oh; for the good old days, when societies would elect a king, and sacrifice him at the end of the year to ensure a bountiful economy/crop.
Any sycophantic Trump insider and associate who doesn't think that Trump will sooner or later eventually shit on them is as delusional as Trump is himself.
I'll never be able to unsee this now, will I?
Given that she has the morality of an alley cat, what she considers - appropriate - behaviour is what should lead all who associated with her to their eventual conviction.
Probably a fair call considering that she considered Epstein Island an appropriate setting for the rape of children.
Absence makes the fond heart wander. ...just saying...
I find it risible that we think of ourselves as a democracy when mo matter who we elect they succumb to the pressures/inducements of the same (mostly secret) minority groups.
The tax is always on the individual (the low-hanging fruit) and never on the multinationals, corporations, trusts.
Today, tomorrow and for as long as Israel’s appalling assault on the people of Gaza continues, every world leader will be asked this question: ”What are you doing to stop the killing?” Sanctions, end the two way arms trade and act like Palestinian lives matter.
What I don't understand, is why Zionists in the diaspora who have absolutely no intention of living in Israel, are such fifth columnists, undermining their resident country's, government, media and educational institutions to protect and enable Israel's genocide and expansion.
"Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity" youtu.be/ww47bR86wSc?...
Given Trump's recent statements, I see this as a not unlikely scenario. Trump starts a war. Declares that the mid-term and presidential elections can't be held due to it. He later halts the war and declares that he should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war. ...you think?
"Christopher Zionist" ? F*ing stupid spiel chucker. ...and you want to be AI...
Unlike. Sisyphus who only had the one rock to contend with, I feel like we're pushing back against an avalanche of rocks, each one threatening to crush us should we look away or weaken. MAGA, Zionist, racist, fascist, corporate, sov-cit, oligarchy, Christo-facist, Christopher Zionist, and on and on.
🎯 bullseye!
In the future, you won't actually "own" anything. Instead, you'll be renting it by subscription, and any maintenance, feature, and upgrade will be an additional cost. If you decline, you will lose the ability to use the product. ...Just like software where you also lose access to your data.
While not "on the ground", my overriding impression is that Just as 1/3rd of eligible Americans couldn't be bothered to vote, the vast majority of Americans and politicians, aren't taking their political situation seriously, as it's not happening to me (yet), and the Mid Terms will cure everything.
But, but, but, ...but they are in Israel on a paid junket, so they can't be in DC too.
I think the correct term is: "Drive Palastinians into southern Gaza and ethnically cleanse the north.".
Can't be long now before the National Guard, police and military start killing fellow citizens. They are escalating by predictable degrees at an alarming rate. By the time of the Mid Terms it will have been long too late.
Assuming that these images haven't been altered, aside from looking like Putin told Trump what's what, and put him right back in his place, Trump looks like actual shite. You'd be forgiven for thinking that he won't survive 'till Christmas.
Have they sent him to Coventry yet?
Tas salmon industry wants to fast track new antibiotic - fish you buy is full of colouring and anti biotics- don’t feed your family with this product. So far from ‘clean and green’. #Toxic
While colonial division and maps are to blame, it's not -just- up to The West to stop them. The peoples of the ME need to stop fighting amongst themselves in their sectarian and tribal wars and unite against a common enemy. The West's role should be to stop arming the genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Sheer brilliance!
Bwahahaha! ...and only the other day I posted: bsky.app/profile/quot... ...got to stop giving Trump ideas...
Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social, ICYMI: Israeli PM Netanyahu says he's on an "historical, spiritual mission" to establish #GreaterIsrael, extending Israel's territory to incl. parts of Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and all of #Gaza and the #WestBank Thoughts? #auspol
Well then, he's obviously in no doubt as to who is killing civilians and children then is he?
