Seems weird that in the past week The Australian successfully got Grace Tame, a former Australian of the Year, dropped from her Nike ambassadorship and the rest of the media said… nothing? How is this not a story? Too hard for The Guardian/SMH/etc to grapple with the McCarthyism going on?

People who say things like "we achieved racial equality through MLK doing peaceful protests" tend to ignore three major facts: 1. We never achieved racial equality. 2. There were literally hundreds of violent race riots in the 60s. 3. They killed MLK. They fucking shot that dude anyway. Come on.

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!

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

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

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.
