Irish literature is taking over the world.

Yep

Loved the #SundayShot this morning. Hmm. Should I now watch ABC's #Insiders on iview? 👇 Oh hell no! They need to rebrand this as "Sky News on Sunday" or "The Liberal Party Promotional Video Show". #auspol

I love it when irony bites people on the bum.🤣🤣🤣

A constituent asks Senator Roger Marshall (R, Kansas) why DOGE is firing so many veterans and the man just runs away. I’ve seen some pathetic behavior in my life but this might get first prize.

Eat The Rich

It's not really "fuck you bitch," it's more a "bitch, for fucks sake"

If you don’t already like Zelenskyy enough: He said "fuck you bitch (suka, blyat)" to JD Vance during their argument.

This, from The Atlantic's Tom Nichol, is also well worth reading. And remember that, although The Atlantic is what Americans would call a "liberal"-leaning magazine, Tom Nichol is (I think) a conservative: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Today (Feb 22) in 1943, three courageous young people in the group White Rose were executed for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany. Sophie Scholl: "The greatest damage is caused by the silent majority that just wants to survive, submit and go along with everything."

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

All this accidental Hitler saluting, it’s such a funny coincidence

Very telling that last week Labor, Liberals & Nationals voted together FOR more public money but AGAINST banning donations from gambling, alcohol & tobacco companies 🤯🤦‍♂️ www.canberratimes.com.au/story/889404...

The NSW Govt wants to criminalise protest in or near “places of worship.” New offences are punishable by 2 years jail&/or $22,000 fine & police will be given new move on powers. The Bill is incompatible with #HumanRights & includes provisions that may be unconstitutional. more: shorturl.at/sg3XV

#auspol Just saying.

My antidepressants are great, thanks, and no amount of exercise, organics, yoga, or nature have changed my depression and anxiety. The meds have saved my life twice. So this idea can once again get in the sea.

I wish this were a bad joke, but no…

🇺🇦 With ongoing discussions and even suggestions about conceding territory to Russia for peace, it’s crucial to revisit the historical lessons from the Munich Agreement of 1938. 🧵Let's explore the parallels and implications for Ukraine. #Ukraine #Russia #History 🇷🇺📜 1/25

Talk about unfair competition...

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths

Hancock fortune heir and Australia’s biggest welfare recipient has realised she can make windfall profits charging Australian customers high global gas prices for our own gas. Never one to miss an opportunity for rent-seeking. www.hancockprospecting.com.au/australian-b...

The LNP can smell money at 20 paces and are desperately crying for Herr Musk to throw cash at them. Shameless, disgraceful, and lacking any tangible policy. Grossly corrupt and incompetent people.

"Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young," the group's reading list says. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/ja...

Yep, when you hear that mining is huge, remember they mean the profits are huge... The Hospitality industry pays more wages to Australians than does mining.

The road to fascism is paved with centrists screaming “he can’t do that because of the law”

Australia is one of the biggest exporters of gas in the world. So why are our energy bills so high? "Our govts gave control of gas resources to a bunch of mainly foreign-owned gas corps & let them export as much as they want." @markogge.bsky.social explains how big gas is ripping us off. #auspol

The cupboard is so bare that Dutton is spruiking tax deductible long lunches. Anything for aged care, public education, the unemployed or the NDIS ?

Labor talk a big game on protecting Nature but consistently end up bowing to vested interests. From supporting native forest logging that costs taxpayers $$ to backing salmon farming that is sending the Maugean skate to extinction. It's a gutless approach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Beginning this New Era with a plea to journalists, commentators, watchdogs and advocacy groups to Use The Proper Words It's not "divisive" or "controversial". It was a Nazi salute. It is White Supremacy. It is ethnic cleansing. Call. It. What. It. Is. theconversation.com/the-word-pop...

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n

finished this last night - unbelievable banger, 10/10, remarkable reporting
