Air pollutants move slowly but they also travel much further than you'd think, we're all in the same bubble of air ultimately, cooking off all that oil and gas is a disaster

Western Australian petrol stations have began rationing fuel - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-09/wholesalers-ration-fuel-customer-limits-in-regions/106433838

Some WA towns have begun restricting fuel sales to emergency service authorities only, closing petrol pumps to motorists.

It comes as fuel wholesalers ration their stock in response to the Iran war.

Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen said panic buying, not supply issues was contributing to shortages.

😈

also i cbf finding the 'article' burried in the live blog, but 5 members of of Iranian womens football team have been 'granted asylum' in australia. I wonder how many people are sitting in off shore immigration detention right now, gross political stunt, but at least they don't have to go home to be blown apart by the usa I guess

the headline does not mention how many people are on a football team, it's more than five

At the end of 'wwi' basically the first thing 'nationalist' govt in australia did was send ships to caputer german islands in the pacific for that sweet, sweet bird doo doo

let us all start bottling our piss, which we can all agree none of us have enaged in before without necessity

The coolest thing about the internet? I'm functionally non verbal if there's more than one other person in front of me, but i can and will say anything to anyone online. Yeah, yeh, reading is destroying society, duh kulture, so-ciety? So-what!

I really gotta practice speaking in front of a mirror, I'm in my 30s I shouldnt still be reverting to a child, and wanting to run and hide

anyway, protip, if you go to bed at 8pm, you might wake up at 2am, and not to latitude dox myself rn but it's 750am and I havent gotten anh more sleep. 6 hours is like, fine and 'normal' but I have a full day ahead, and my phone is flat and I cant charge it AND use my headphones because both those things need the usb-c port cause i'm a crumudgin and i wont buy new things

I want to go home, show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed, blahblahblah

have a nice day everyone

I accidentally followed your instructions and now have a paste made of tamarind, cloves, and ginger

actually, while joking, I bet that'd be good on roasted aloo (taters)

with the way things are going, now is a pretty good time to learn to make food from rice and dry beans, maybe snag a pressure cooker, they come in handy

I haven't popped out of the newsmega in a while, I'm glad to see you're still posting, and you're still around

this is a good write up, thanks, I really hope the targeted harrassment you're referencing didn't take place on hexbear. I've had a pretty similar thing happen within 'a community' (so-called), I did't really notice it was happening until I drew a diagram to explain it and my comrade said 'uh, why is everyone on this side trans?'

Anyway ~

I'm from transgender island, and I say kill 'em all, happy international working womens day

I couldn't have done it, well done

I can't decide if I want a 'working womens day' or 'womens day', i think the former, I wanna say 'well all women work' but also I definitely met at least a few exceptions, how nice for them

Recording of a seminar hosted last week by www.red-spark.org

VENEZUELA — EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS Popular power in the face of US attacks

Red Spark organised this public webinar to examine the current phase of US aggression against Venezuela through first-hand eyewitness accounts from those living and organising inside the process itself.

The discussion focuses on what has actually taken place on the ground, including the role of Venezuelan state institutions, communal organisation, and government responses to external pressure.

The speakers address how this risk-back operates in everyday life: from shortages and infrastructural strain to political destabilisation and militarised threats. The webinar also explores how communal institutions and popular organisation have emerged as collective mechanisms for managing, redistributing, and resisting this imposed risk, while continuing to defend popular power under siege.

The discussion situates these experiences within the broader geopolitical and military dimensions of US intervention, cutting through disinformation to provide grounded analysis rooted in lived political practice.

Speakers

Chris Gilbert is a professor of political studies at the Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela, a contributing editor at Monthly Review, and the author of Commune or Nothing!: Venezuela’s Communal Movement and Its Socialist Project (Monthly Review, 2023), among other books and articles.

Cira Pascual Marquina is a popular educator at the Pluriversidad, El Panal Commune’s educational initiative in the working-class barrio of 23 de Enero in Caracas. She is also a founder and member of the Communal Democracy Network.

Chair: Marley L (Sydney)

FAFO 😤

 

Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado says she has presented her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.

She did not say whether Mr Trump accepted it.

The pair met in Washington on Thursday, local time, for lunch before Ms Machado left to meet senators at the Capitol.

As she left that second meeting, she was swarmed by media and said she had presented Mr Trump with the esteemed medal in "recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom".

Ms Machado then referenced the 200-year-old gifting of a medal by the Marquis de Lafayette, a general who fought against the British in America's Revolutionary War, to South American revolutionary leader Simón Bolívar, to signify the pair's shared values.

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~ 2025

😱

This process was undertaken to determine if so-called "tankies" are conspiring to make you (yes, you) have a bad time on the internet!

vague or informal answers were interpreted by the central authority (me). Only top level comments were counted. I did not provide further instructions or clarifications.

spoilerA ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

^ wish I'd remembered to include that in the new "poll", there was a lot of confusion in the comments!

link to this same post but on lemmy.ml, because they will typically not be very nice about it, so I'm posting it here as well - because yes this is all very silly, but also it took me a couple of hours.

thanks for playing, see you next time 😎
