I wonder how much food theft spikes with desperate people just trying to feed their families. I'm sure there will be a media panic about it.
It's an Italian word, you don't pronounce the same group of letters 5 different ways in Italian, you just read it how its written unlike english.
Thats not entirely true, it was a horribly racist federal campaign for a “voice” that failed but it hasn’t stopped Victoria from passing a treaty with First Nations at a state level although conservatives have vowed to repeal it if they form govt.
Australia have been sending refugee arrivals offshore for so long its now been normalised and no one even thinks about it and its barely even mentioned during election campaigns. The conservative UK govts refugee policy was advised by an Australian.
Was watching the emergency vic website and there was one reported every few seconds a few hours ago across Melbourne
Can't believe its one month until the ashes, year has gone by so freaking fast.
I reckon I get a pass on going outside today to exercise.
Tried hard not to watch the vid of Albo sucking up to Trump and get annoyed. Failed.
Thinking about it, people without many followers can easily just block and remove any quote tweets so its a lot better for smaller users then the other site. I'm sure being a big account must be horrible though, when it really gets bad maybe being able to private your account would be good?
For some reason I am watching a Japanese navy band perform the opening theme songs to "Space Battleship YAMATO" on youtube

its always projection with conservatives isnt it
Is there a fair bit of value in making the the government look ridiculous by calling people attending a family friendly march violent extremist terrorists?
Cant you turn a starter pack into a block list very easily anyway?
Actually went for a ride and got 0 magpie swoops, is it over? I am seeing a lot of magpie babies out of the nests doing the whiny little song asking to be fed.
There is no doubt there are some issues with crime right now and some horrific stuff has happened even in my local town but the media and opposition focuses on it 24/7. I don't feel unsafe at all personally and I don't think putting more kids in jail will help with anything.
So far the Victorian Liberals have as their platform for the 2026 election:

1. Crime (they did this in 2018 with a very racist campaign and got smashed)

2. Repealing the treaty with first nations that is being passed right now.

Do they even have anything to campaign on that isn't a culture war?
A bad narrator is pretty much an instant nope for me definitely couldnt get past ai garbage is there even a market for it?
I wonder if apple tv makes a deal for f1 coverage in Australia too, Kayo is so freaking bad man.
They are gonna set a new record for most blocked account on here I reckon, finally gonna beat jdvance
You don’t need to add an article as the first comment here the link wont be suppressed like on fb if you put in the first post, you should also add alt text to screenshots.
I wish i could say this was rare but there are so many gaps in shared paths like this around Melbourne, they care more about traffic calming the people on bikes and annoying them with bollards then actually making the path connections work and easy to navigate
Hmm apparently the alt txt reminder setting here just randomly switches itself off sometimes.
First run in a year, gotta start somewhere I guess.
Its still jarring to see how much the “Great Replacement” crap is just openly spouted and accepted as normal nowadays.
Republicans: we need to arrest and zip tie 13 year old immigrants without telling their parents they might be criminals.

Also Republicans: the 30 and 40 year old guys hitler posting are just irresponsible young kids being edgy
