YouTube doesn't even moderate its own "for kids" side of the platform. If THEY are saying this ban isn't going to work as intended, then it's way worse than you probably think.

When your premier things the word Toxic refers to being intoxicated…. No mate. It means its poisonous/kills cells. I dont think all the dead fish are dead because the algae is suffocating them and no other effects. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Adam Parsons tells us Palestinians "feel" that Palestinians held in Israeli prisons are hostages too

Feel?

People are seized from their homes & locked up indefinitely without trial or charge, with no evidence against them & not even told why they've been locked up!

"Feel".

This report from ACOSS & UNSW reveals a shocking reality. Since 2020, hundreds of thousands more have fallen below the poverty line. 3.5 million Australians now struggle to pay rent, put food on the table, and cover basic living costs. This is unacceptable.

This image shows a large, realistic mural of a cat painted on a brick wall. The cat appears to be peeking out from under an archway. A person is standing to the left, looking at the mural. The ground is covered with leaves, indicating an outdoor setting. The mural is very detailed and gives the illusion that the cat is coming out of the wall.

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

It’s so funny how every time Jared Leto does his method acting in a film, the director and crew have to go out of their way to be like “woah it was so intense, he was so in character, it added so much depth” and then you watch the film and he’s giving the most lazy, no-thought performance possible

"I do address him as Ares when we're filming and everybody goes, we get a little bit up. He's the general walking onto set, which is fine," Ares director Joachim Ronning recently told Screenrant. "And it's not
uncommon for actors to do it like that.
And it works for him. And I think you can feel it in any movie he makes. He's completely into the character."

Before it won the 2022 federal election, the Labor Party promised stronger action to curb climate change. Since then, it has approved coal and gas projects that will emit a cumulative 6.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. satpa.pe/lzpWeLc

Labor’s slate for fossil fuel approvals

The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.
