Here's me. "When Murdoch’s tabloid failed Liverpool the people kicked it out of town for good. What’s stopping Melbourne?" theshot.net.au/general-news/…

Melbourne should do to the Herald Sun, as the people of Liverpool did to Murdoch's The Sun. Ban the cesspit of a paper from our city. During this second wave they have been hugely divisive & dangerous. They're against the public health of all Victorians. #COVID19Vic

Witches! This week’s challenge for our #NewsCorpse campaign. Have a polite convo with the owner/manager of a cafe stocking a Murdoch paper for patrons, and ask why they’re helping #ClimateCriminals. Ask them to consider providing an alternative. Report back here. #ToYourBrooms

Morning, Australia. I have some questions about this article in the @Australian that claims "fire bugs" are fuelling the scale of the country's bushfire disaster. Something smells very, very off about the numbers. drive.google.com/file/d/1Fn5…

The darkest orange is the area that had its hottest daytime temperatures on record (data back to 1910) for December just gone. I’ve never seen anything like it. bom.gov.au/jsp/awap/temp/ind…

I thought you forcing a woman to shake your hand & turning your back was bad. Now you do this, forcing a firefighter to shake your hand. @ScottMorrisonMP WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? #auspol #NSWbushfires #nswfires #ScottyFomMarketing #dismisstheprimeminister #NotMyPM #Ausfires

Scott Morrison forcing this woman to shake his hand, then ignoring her and walking away when she tells him she doesn’t want a handshake unless he gives more funding to the RFS, is fucking disgusting - even by his low standards. #bushfiresAustralia #auspol – at Sydney, New South Wales

IF THE TOWNS OF BEGA, MALLACOOTA AND/OR LAKES ENTRANCE ARE LOST TO FIRE TODAY AND THEY FIND DEAD BODIES STILL IN THEIR HOUSES, WILL WE STILL HAVE A PM TRAVELLING TO INDIA TO SPRUIK FOR COAL IN A COUPLE OF DAYS? ASKING FOR A DISGUSTED, OUTRAGED AUSTRALIA. #vicfires #NSWfires

THREAD: Friends, Romans, Mutuals, I come to bury Thinkspot (Jordan Petersons new social media platform) not to praise it. After months of waiting I have finally received my invite to the beta version and (predictably) it's a flaming mess. It's also ripe for memeing or takeover.

This is the moment Senator Fraser Anning was egged by a protestor who snuck into a small meeting where he spoke about "fake refugees" and the "threat of immigration." @10NewsFirstMelb @10NewsFirst #Christchurch

I remember being 13 and parroting 4chan jokes I'd heard from friends without understanding what they fed into. You're under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago. You can just stop being part of the problem right now. You can just stop.

Screw your apologies. You’re the ones who created the environment for this performative act. Time and time again, you refuse to do anything about hate and violence on your platform. All in the name of more views, more engagement and more ad dollars. You have blood on your hands.

You’ve done it, you’ve read all of Twitter! No, don’t keep scrolling, this is the end. Congratulations! Now that you’ve completed Twitter, we’d recommend “books,” “cooking food,” “calling your mom” or any number of other more enriching experiences. Enjoy!

Some cyclists wear hi-vis clothing so speeding drivers on their phones can spot them better through that line of illegally parked cars blocking the view of a junction.
