Sick to the back teeth of this fake “antisemite” crisis. The REAL crisis is women being murdered by their “loving partners,” FNP and TSI peoples being left to die in prison cells; the homeless.. if the Zionist child killing fuckwits feel scared they can just FUCK off we are full

Australia now has Michelin-starred restaurants. Every single one of them is right here in South Australia. We’ve always known our food, wine and produce are among the best in the world. And that’s thanks to the extraordinary people we have who make it all possible. Now we have the stars to prove it.

"Grass roots" was her final SMH cartoon. It depicted the gutless media & political figures marching to a drum beaten by Netanyahu regarding calls for a Royal Commission into antisemitism. This was the truth they couldn't handle. We should make this Aust's best all time cartoon

My first boss when I started in the Periodicals Section at the State Library. Her “White Gloves Tours” were legendary. Vale Valmai
Oh wow! Valmai has been a colossus in our State. So sad to hear this news. Valmai was a such a wonderful champion of the State Library, our history & with an amazing wine joy, knowledge & promotion. Such a privilege to have been even a small connection in her rich amazing life.

The greats of the 1963 SA team that toppled the Vics on the MCG - Brian Sawley, John Cahill, Lindsay Head and John Halbert. Thanks for launching the book about your deeds. It was a joy to write about how you did it and what it meant to us. sportswords.com.au

Stand with Grace, yea!
Grace Tame being called 'problematic' by a bloke who happily did an interview with another bloke who was convicted of beating a woman is breathtaking. Dunno about you, but #IStandWithGraceTame on this one.

Sickening.
One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

Fuck me people are stupid, badly informed and racist. The women and children returning from Syria are Australian. They have a right to return here. It’s not a government conspiracy nor incompetence. Those who are alleged to have committed crimes will face the law. Just like BRS

This expert blows away the whole “baseload” thing. Really worth watching @DeanChill
Smart Energy Council’s John Grimes calls out Peter Dutton’s “utter rubbish” claims that Renewables do not have enough “base load power” & slams the LNP for trying to deceive the public with the use of the term “Base Load Power is a 1950s concept that has been utterly debunked”🔥

Keeping me out, a regular visitor for 50+ years.
It makes me sad when friends who are not American decide not to visit or are curbing travel here because they don’t think they’re wanted.

Whenever l am slightly disrespected by a man, I remember my favorite Michelle Obama lore. There's a story about them dining at a restaurant when they learned the chef used to be Michelle's high school boyfriend Barack joked, lf you were still with him, you could have been the owner of this nice restaurant." Michelle replied, "No. If I were still with him, he would have been President of the United States." And that's the energy every woman should have about her own worth.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As the propsed note by 'quotable shoreline condor' states, the Michelle Obama story is an urban legend. Here is the Snopes post snopes.com/fact-check/spo… which cites, with links, the Clinton and Bush examples, as well as others including a 1994 version about NYC mayor David Dinkins.

Doesn’t bode well for future television of sanfl
Channel Seven has decided to walk away from its Saturday night VFL commitments in a significant setback for the state league competition. Why Seven made the call and the fallback coverage plan for the VFL. With the great @PaulAmy375 heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/c…
