David Rayfield in The Shot today.

A great piece of writing contrasting the 2 hours it took Albanese to support a psychopath US President and the 24 hours it took to not-apologise to Grace Tame.

"Watching parents mourn their carpet-bombed children is difficult. Navigating societal systems that rely on misogyny is difficult. Reading about golden gifts being given to tyrants while struggling to pay your own bills is difficult. Teaching our kids to be responsible for their bad behaviour while grown men flaunt the exact opposite is difficult. On the other hand, recognising cowardice is the easiest thing in the world."

Remember when you #voteGreen, do your preferences any bloody way you like. If you can separate the attitudes of the LNP from the ALP, put one of them above the other. I am buggered if I can tell them apart.

Is there no #SundayShot this week?

Watching #TheShot / #TheSundayShot.

Great content, great guests.

The failures of internet connectivity between them all make viewing the show pretty unpleasant.

The failure to provide Australia with even quality late-20th century internet is on #TonyAbbott, #MalcolmTurnbull and their corrupt #LNP business-mates.

If this trash connectivity is normal on #Zoom etc then regular users have my commiserations.

For me, this Zoom-like format is currently too disjointed to watch for pleasure.

Free Palestine, is a political statement. Israel is committing genocide, is a political statement. From the river to the sea, is a political statement. Yet at every turn, the pro-Israel lobby reject rational thought, tightening the boundaries and continually herding any challenge or political pushback into an ever smaller circle until, as Orwell wrote in 1984, “Don’t you see the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

“Protest signs held aloft saying, End the Palestinian holocaust, are reported, written down and counted as ‘antisemitic incidents’.”

…

“This is how smoothly and cleanly pro-Israel propaganda manipulates reality. Tiny twists of the narrative, until it becomes something it isn’t and nobody notices or questions the unseen twists along the way.”
