I think there are many problems in media that can be traced back to a death or drought of sincerity in mass media, a fear of discussing love or solidarity, or unabashedly loving your friends. It’s “vulnerable” if you talk about feeling bad or sad. Doesn’t feel vulnerable to me, I feel stronger now

Murray Watt is a perfect model of the modern Labor politician. President of Young Labor. Chief of staff for a Premier. Boss of the Qld Left. Now he’s the Environment Minister with responsibility for a critical decision. He chose to destroy the environment. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/29/m...

I've been playing with sankey charts to see how seats in the lower house have been changing over time. It's interesting to see the double defeat of the Coalition over two cycles and how big a mountain it is for them to return to power caseybriggs.substack.com/p/australias...

Incredible this is the Teal line. Surely the environment is the one issue they theoretically shouldn’t compromise on?

The good news is that it seems like, literally in the last hour, we’ve stepped back in time to the Trump 1.0 era, where his administration was a dumpster fire and everyone inside leaked their petty bullshit to the press. This is good, it slows down their assault on America.

if the musk-trump coalition continues to fray i suspect we will see a lot of "i was at DOGE" tell-alls and i think a useful heuristic for understanding them will be "anything that makes elon look like a freak is true" coupled with "anything that makes DOGE employees look like lesser freaks is a lie"

We're all pretty used to the idea that our phones are listening to us, that algos know our preferences, and that ad companies have a very good idea of who we are and what we like Right now, they mostly use this to sell us stuff. We are on the cusp of them using it to do something very different

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

For @spitfirenews.com members, I wrote about what it means that people are increasingly gravitating toward short-form video content over short-form text content—but why I also think Bluesky will be fine, because of what it offers to the people who are already here spitfirenews.com/p/is-microbl...
