It's really easy to make Twitter a nicer place.
Secret formula I've followed since the days of Fidonet, newsgroups, IRC, mailing lists and forums:
Follow kind people.
People who contribute to conversation and share joy, fallibility and mischief.
It'll rub off on you.
Tony Abbott raises his head to say we should be playing a greater role in Iran. If the LNP were still in power we’d have boots on the ground by now. Thank goodness they’re obsolete.
John Chapman was 57 years old.
He served his country as a British special forces soldier.
In his final years, he chose to feed starving children.
The IDF killed him.
The media ignored it.
Remember his name.
Lol!!!
An old Maori farmer writes to his son in prison; Kia ora my son, this year i wont be able to plant the kumara and potatoes because i can't dig the field by myself, i know if you were here, you would help me son.
The son writes back; Kia ora dad don't even think of digging the field because thats where i buried all the money i stole.
The police read what the Son wrote in the letter and the next day the whole field was dug up and the Police were looking for the money but nothing was found.
The following day the son wrote again.... Now plant the potatoes and kumara dad.. Its the best i can do from here..
This is gobsmacking. Not only did Melania Trump suddenly decide to give a televised address about Jeffrey Epstein, she's calling on Congress to "act," because Epstein was "not alone." So she just threw a giant stick of political dynamite on the issue her husband despises!
🚨 The Pentagon summoned the Pope’s ambassador to a closed-door meeting and threatened him.
Named official. On record.
Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby called Cardinal Christophe Pierre to the Pentagon and delivered this message:
“The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”
Then a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy — the 14th century moment when the French monarchy used military force to physically remove the Pope from Rome and bend the Church to its will.
The Vatican understood the reference immediately.
The Pope’s planned visit to America for the 250th anniversary celebration was cancelled.
And then something remarkable happened.
The Pope didn’t retreat. He pressed harder. He called the war unjust. He called Trump’s threats unacceptable. He told Americans to call Congress.
my Dad said , "Forcing the Artemis crew to speak with Donald Trump was part of a NASA training exercise to prepare future astronauts for encounters with less intelligent life forms.."
i couldn't agree more....
Speak it loud.
WOW🔥: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor publicly HUMILIATED Brett Kavanaugh in front of an entire university audience — and she didn't hold back for a single second.
Sotomayor, who grew up in a Bronx housing project, raised by a single mother after losing her father at age 9, called out Kavanaugh by name at the University of Kansas for having absolutely no clue what it means to live paycheck to paycheck.
The issue? Kavanaugh signed off on emergency orders allowing immigration agents to detain workers at bus stops, car washes, and street corners — then had the nerve to write that these detentions are "typically brief" and that most people "promptly go free."
Sotomayor wasn't having it.
"This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn't really know any person who works by the hour," she said. "Those hours that they took you away, nobody's paying that person. And that makes a difference between a meal for him and his kids that night and maybe just cold supper."
Read that again. A missing hour of work means a child goes hungry that night. And Brett Kavanaugh — son of a lawyer, son of a judge, product of elite private schools, buddy of the man who appointed him — doesn't understand that. Can't understand that. Because he never had to.
This is what happens when you stack the nation's highest court with people who have never stood in a line at a food bank. Who have never skipped a meal so their kid didn't have to. Who have never been snatched off a street corner on the way to a job that feeds their family.
Sotomayor earned her seat the hard way. Kavanaugh was handed his amid credible allegations of sexual misconduct that his patron in the White House bulldozed through anyway.
One justice knows what poverty looks like. The other can't even imagine it. And yet they have equal votes on the future of millions of working Americans.
That's not justice. That's a rigged system wearing robes.
LIKE AND SHARE if you stand with Sonia Sotomayor — a woman who never forgot where she came from.
FB comment: ‘They teach our soldiers to kill. That’s what they did!!!!’
Comment from a former Infantry BN CO & CI Battle COMD Wing, Combat Training Centre:
‘We train our soldiers to abide by LOAC & ROE. That has NEVER included killing unarmed people offering no resistance.’
Now that they've finally arrested Ben Roberts- Smith for war crimes, it's time they investigate Australian citizens in the IDF who return to Australia as if they hadn’t committed genocide.
I liked to see these IDF murderers tracked down & arrested too.
Who else does?
look, I may not approve of Donald Trump bombing Iran's civilian infrastructure, but he is our president and I will defend to the death his right to be removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and chucked straight the fuck into prison
