Today the total profits and labour costs etc for Australian industry sectors for 2023-24 was released. It is quite revealing which sectors get the favourable treatment such as $215bn gift from the govt of free gas to sell....

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

At the end of the day, construction worker shortages are gonna determine what if anything gets built in the US. There's no amount of deregulation that can overcome a shortage of 750k construction workers - a third of whom are foreign born, roughly 13% undocumented - and oppressive ICE crackdowns.

@steveklabnik.com the AI hate on bsky is strong. For some reason AI hate has been sort of rolled into progressive politics. Just mute the thread and ignore the replies I say. FWIW I think that the subjectivity is based on the fact that LLMs do some stuff really well, and sucks at other things....

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

Leavitt is genuinely Goebbels. A wholehearted and full throated Nazi propagandist.

I wonder did Steve Bannon read A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth? The author actually describes "Flooding the zone with shit". More eloquently of course.

In 2022, I actually interviewed the moderator of the Daily Mail comments boards: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...

Does she know that public schools often also have trade schools embedded in them? The same public schools they defund. And now gay folks shouldn’t be getting degrees? This entire interview is a disaster.

“I voted for Donald Trump, and so did practically everyone here,” said Vanessa Cowart, a friend of Ms. Hui from church. “But no one voted to deport moms. We were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who came here in droves.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Haaretz’s Yaniv Kubovich reports that Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza and relocate more than 1,3 million Palestinians in the upcoming offensive, ultimately forcing the entire population into three military zones with food supplies strictly controlled by GHF/Israel. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Japan has such an oversupply of Australian fossil methane gas slushing about that they on-sell it to other countries for a greater profit than Australians receive. #MethaneMurray Watt. #Woodside sociopaths.

It’s now Marxist to understand that the Constitution only authorizes Congress to impose tariffs.

If you live in a community with 98% vaccination rates, you can afford to be the 2%. You can post wellness memes about "natural immunity" and still get herd immunity as a side effect. Another word for that: privilege. www.theindex.media/the-herd-imm...

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

Beyond parody.
