One of the most famous graphs in the world - the hockey-stick graph - is looking more and more like something else - something that this guy carries.

"Despite extensive evidence, media investigations, & reports issued by Israeli & int'l orgs documenting torture in Israeli prisons, the int'l community continues to stand by & allow Israel to commit crimes against Palestinian people."
Why won't you act against Israel, @AlboMP?
The resurgence of measles, whooping cough, rotavirus, bacterial meningitis, and severe pneumonia is an abject failure of health policy.
We are relearning the lessons we have already paid the price for.
One Nation’s Pauline Hanson is speaking at the National Press Club Tuesday.
This isn’t a test for Hanson, we know she’ll talk BS.
This is a test for Canberra’s journos.
They'll be intimidated.
They won't go hard.
They'll fail.
The Gish Gallop.

Be appalled and scared of One Nation's ascent all you want. I am. But don't let it convince you that Australia doesn't already have a right-wing racist billionaire-controlled government. That's our resting heart rate as a nation, we've just normalised a specific variety of it.
In the past seven days, we lost four Australian women and girls to femicide.
This year, a total of 32 women and 12 children have been killed. Last year 79 women were lost to violence, the year before 204 women were killed.
In the past 24 hours, the media have run more articles about shark attacks than they have collectively run on the femicide epidemic.
There's no doubt, shark attacks should be covered and the victims should be spoken about.
But the collective political and media response to shark attacks compared to killed women and children is appalling.
On average, we lose THREE Australians to shark attacks EACH YEAR.
We lose one woman or girl EVERY FOUR DAYS to an act of male violence.
The same voices calling for the cull of sharks are the same voices who stay silent on the slaughter of women and children.
In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.
Don't ever let the racists convince you they are the majority. They are not. They are just morally bankrupt and willing to try to seize power with their hate. We are stronger than fascism when we come together.
Seeking to "influence the government", in a putative democracy, is considered TERRORISM. Got that, peasants? The only acceptable way to influence the government is with MONEY.
Leading medical journal The Lancet publishes call to expel Israeli Medical Association over Gaza genocide
——
Medical journal The Lancet has published a petition calling for the Israeli Medical Association to be boycotted and expelled from the World Medical Association over its failure to condemn what the petition describes as Israel's genocide against Palestinians and the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system.
The campaign, launched by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, and Doctors for Gaza, has so far received support from more than 1,150 healthcare professionals and medical organizations. The call for expulsion is expected to be raised at the World Medical Association's general assembly in October.
The Israeli Medical Association opposed the move, arguing that its expulsion would not advance peace, healthcare, or human rights, and would instead create a precedent for using political pressure campaigns to isolate healthcare workers based on their nationality.
Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol
Three members of the @Socceroos squad were born in refugee camps.
There is no one keener to work hard and build a good life for themselves and their new nation, than those who have nearly had their lives taken away.
Refugees are not criminals. They do not deserve to be locked away in overseas camps, behind barbed wire, handcuffed and herded like animals.
Mandatory detention needs to be legislated into the dustbin of history where it can decompose next to the laws that made Auschwitz & Gaza perfectly legal too.
Australia needs to dispense with the cruel fiction that these refugees must suffer so people smugglers are deterred.
Yes, we project that 2026 will be the warmest year. If others will provide the physical basis for their projections, we have an opportunity to learn something from this natural “experiment.”

The hardest working person in the world likely lives in poverty. Hard work almost never translates to wealth. But exploitation of labor often does. The hard work myth needs to dıė
@ShereleMoody But if you get attacked by a shark they give acres of airtime to it.
