With the orange FELON in office, I'm staying anonymous.
Trying hard to avoid rage and profanity, but f*ck, it's hard.

So called "Australia Day" 2025 has gone.
Many aborigines call this INVASION DAY. On January 26 1788, the 1st fleet landed, opposed by aborigines, at Sydney Cove.
That day aboriginal sovereignty ended. Choose any day OTHER than January 26. NEVER celebrate it! Observe INVASION DAY.

Great news! The govt will finally introduce local content rules for streaming platforms. This is a huge win for Aussie stories, jobs and our screen industry. Proud to have stood alongside actors, creators and so many others who helped push for this outcome. It’s a great day for Australian stories.

Like the old argument. If we tax our resources, the companies will go elsewhere? Do they know that the resources are here right? And not elsewhere? Where will they go?

A survey of Israeli Jews revealed:

• 56% support the forced expulsion of Arab Israelis to other countries
• 47% agreed with the proposal that the IDF should kill everyone when entering an enemy city. 👇 #Israel #FreePalestine

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.
Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.
This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
