The National Media Section of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) condemns the shooting of journalist Lauren Tomasi with a rubber bullet, while reporting on the protests in Los Angeles for 9News. #MEAAmedia

You see, once wealthy people have started exploiting a tax minimisation strategy, it is forever immoral to tighten the rules.

ExxonMobil is pleased to announce accelerated progress in its ongoing science experiment, entitled "How long will it take us to kill the ocean with our pollution and how long can humanity survive once the ocean is dead?"

So I got real mad and went to town in somebody else's comments last night (not at them) but I think it's a topic that deserves more attention so here we go: Why I talk so much shit about cops in general but LA-area cops in particular and openly cast doubt on their claims every chance I get

It's so wild seeing the cop spot the reporter doing her job, pause to consider it, then raise his gun and shoot her from behind. Totally premeditated and targeted. And ppl wonder why we don't wanna travel to this lawless shithole anymore!

You may be gangsta. You may be anti fascist. But you will never be as gangsta antifa as this guy.

Ever since BLM in 2020 Trump has been just itching to shoot some protestors. Looks like they're escalating in order to bring things to that point...

Greta Thunberg: "It's so weird to me that people are separating caring about the environment and the climate to caring about humans... There can be no climate justice without social justice."

The taco thing is funny because it is passive aggressive, the only thing libs and dems are good at. Being passive aggressive and not actually doing anything.

“This is not the leadership we want to see from Australia, if they are to be the host of COP at the same time,” said Vanuatu’s minister for climate adaptation Ralph Regenvanu. Vanuatu criticises Australia for extending gas project while making Cop31 bid - @australia.theguardian.com #climate

Don't be fooled by Elon suddenly pivoting away from maga and criticizing the budget bill. He's gone into full public relations repair mode. Same as his statements about solar the other day. He's hired some new brand managers and they're coaching him how to make ppl hate him less.

When Anthony Albanese appointed Peter Khalil as special envoy for social cohesion, the PM said Khalil would "report directly to him". A FOI request to the PM's office uncovered zero reports (and just an email and a calendar entry) from the now-eliminated role. www.crikey.com.au/20...

"How valuable is that gas off the coast of WA? To Woodside’s foreign partners – BP, Shell & Chevron – hugely so. To us, not so much. The foreign companies pay a fraction of their earnings in royalties. They pay as little as possible in company tax & next to nothing in PRRT. @rossgittins.bsky.social

Chat is it bad if we wipe out an entire pillar of the food chain?

Just a reminder that increases in Minimum Wages/Awards have no impact on inflation

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

“Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy & psychedelic mushrooms. He traveled with a daily medication box that held 20 pills, including Adderall.”

Enjoying how the AFR says you can't tax unrealised capital gains in super balances over $3m because it is not real money, and yet boasts about all the unrealised gains of the richest 200

The NACC is doing exactly what it was set up to do. Fail. #Auspol

The Fed Gov needs to put a stop to the Americanisation of the health system. If Healthscope has shown us one thing, it’s that corporate self-interest is fundamentally at odds with the sustainable delivery of quality health care for the majority of Australians. #auspol #politas

Yes, anti-Jewish harassment is an increasingly large part of America's landscape. But anti-Muslim attacks are as well... with barely a whisper of outrage from the great and the good.

England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water. The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive. England has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.

Our new report is one of those where I was... wait... you sure??? Maybe re-check those numbers... wait WTUF?? That can't be real... alas. It is.

ICYMI- yesterday's cartoon on the proposed super changes for @australia.theguardian.com

Holy shit stop reposting that orange cretin's ramblings. If I wanted to read his brain farts I'd join Truth Social.

I’m sure this will all be fine….🦖☄️

Australia won't ever tackle its transport emissions until it puts road tanks in a vice - instead the gov't actively incentivises oversized vehicles. theconversation.com/drivers-of-s...

I'd bet President Trump has not been made aware of the fact that Russian fascists murdered around 100,000 Ukrainian civilians in Mariupol and dumped most of the corpses into mass graves.

“It’s a lot easier to destroy a thing than to build a thing.”

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Commiserations to all those facing flood devastation. While you’re sandbagging, Labor is clearing the way for even more climate chaos.

Right now, communities on the NSW coast are underwater while others across the country are deep in drought. Emergency crews have scrambled to rescue people trapped by floodwaters while parts of SA, Victoria, WA and Tasmania face some of the driest conditions on record.

At risk of being rude, have others noticed the extreme irony of the National Party (self declared ‘friend of farmers’) breaking up the coalition because they oppose Net Zero while Australia languishes under extreme floods in NSW and extreme drought everywhere else? No? Just me, then?

SAG-AFTRA has filed an unfair labor practice charge against Epic Games for its use of A.I. for Darth Vader’s voice in Fortnite.

All I'm saying is, if Biden's dementia was as bad as everyone says, and the country was economically surging with an expanding manufacturing sector and recovery from covid inflation, then maybe it should be run by unaccountable deep state types more often.

Since our legacy media couldn’t care less, and our current President is a galactic piece of shit: we have to remind ourselves that Putin has been committing war crimes, including the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children. So, you know, this is that reminder.

Here’s the long-missing explanation about what ties together university defunding, the kidnapping of students, and definition of “antisemitism” that consists of “opposing genocide of Palestinians”: this is all a Heritage Foundation plan, Project Esther.

Russia: Putin planted a Russian spy posing as a translator sent by the US embassy in Moscow for Witkoff's latest meeting in the Kremlin in April. She is from SVR - Russia's foreign intelligence.
