A quick PSA, if you follow me and are a frothing bigot, you'll be blocked. If you're a nice conservative, you'll just be disappointed.

All the ON isn’t going to cut health . From their website. How good will it be paying $800 for insulin.

Maybe she was thinking of this?

Cardinal Zuppi read the names of every child who passed away in Gaza. It took him 7 hours.

Most of the obituaries and tributes to David Hockney will, I imagine, focus primarily on his extraordinary craft and brilliance as an artist. Perhaps they might also mention his brilliance as a communicator (he was such a fine writer and speaker). But there was something else rather unique about him too. He was also strikingly honest about the tricks/techniques artists use and used to paint. His book Secret Knowledge is a rather wonderful detective work into how renaissance and Dutch golden age painters used glass and mirrors to help them master perspective. It's a pretty compelling case (see this video clip from a BBC doc he made alongside the book👇) though I'm sure some art historians will raise their eyebrows. Many will be aghast at the notion that greats like Vermeer might have been using lenses and camera obscuras to help them draw and paint. As if it were in some way "cheating". But Hockney was so self-evidently brilliant he was one of the few people who could document this without anyone gainsaying his own talent. There are very few artists, living or dead, who have this degree of self-confidence. Not just to know their craft, but to be bracingly honest about how it works. One other who comes to mind is Paul Simon: not just an extraordinary musician but is also an extraordinary communicator about the tricks and techniques of how to write and perform music. For many great artists, the temptation is to cloak their crafts in mystery, like a member of the magic circle. Hockney wasn't having any of it. So yes, he was a legend in all the obvious ways. But also in a few other less obvious ways as well. RIP.

Yeah. Gotta make sure those minorities aren’t recognized for their contributions to the country.

Not only did Russell de Burgh conceal information but provided misleading advice 'designed to cover up the scheme's lack of legal foundation'. One of six individuals names for referral to NACC. And he gets a job in Social Policy? OMG @strangerous10 x.com/strangerous10/status/1…

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them. This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

Canberra is running a genoside protection racket. “Juliet Lamont came home from being raped and tortured by a foreign military.. “And her own country ransacked her luggage, seized her phone and laptop, and told her she was under arrest unless she surrendered her passcodes. “Her government did not protect her. Her government investigated her.” ‘Israeli soldiers raped her. Australian customs threatened her’ michaelwest.com.au/israeli-s… via @MichaelWestBiz

Paywall removed. Gift article from New York Times magazine about the VP, Chief of Staff, DOJ and FBI colluding to cover up Epstein by the White House. A long, but good read for those who would be interested. nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magaz…

If this were Jews locked in a Synagogue, it would be EVERYWHERE in the media by now (rightfully so). Suella Braverman, Kemi Badenoch et al would have already issued condemnation statements. But because it's Muslims, there's radio silence.

A long conversation needed on what this is really all about.

Exactly this.... 👇👇👇

Good to see @abc730 contextualising the Belfast riots in the wave of online racist activism that has been fanned by Farage. A pleasant contrast to @abcnews who basically remade his racist case without flagging that he is a key inciter of this violence. Wonderful interviewee!

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

That’s why they’re totally unmoved by the idea of children dying preventable deaths of preventable diseases. They want diseases to spread and take out “weak” people- Nazi eugenicist ideology. Same with Covid

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one. More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans. Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. nytimes.com/2026/06/03/opini…

Breaking: After Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s legal team appealed his arbitrary detention, Israeli authorities transferred him on 3 June 2026 from Naqab Prison to solitary confinement in Nafha as a punitive measure. The move comes amid harsh conditions and denial of medical treatment.

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it. More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months. And here’s the part that should make your blood boil. Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence. The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it. Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price. We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us. wapo.st/3QmJjSz
