PRESS SECRETARY: In view of the stock market being in free-fall, the loss of lives and property from storms, and actions taken against Yemen, the President would like to say a few words. PRESIDENT: I won a golf tournament! The trophy is shiny! PRESS SECRETARY: We will not be taking any questions.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

Oh my God. Donald Trump and JD Vance are attacking Zelensky in the Oval Office. This is a complete fucking embarrassment.

In The Age today. If you can't get the editorial parts of the paper to acknowledge this reality, at least you can buy an ad.

Oof. Reminded today that it wasn’t really all that long ago when mouthy women were sectioned and lobotomised. Idaho seems a real nice place for mediocre, conservative white men with a bad dose of the patriarchy and a lot of small dick energy.

New Zealand’s description has me gobsmacked in Kiwi.

"The constitutional question of whether the president can delegate authority to a billionaire campaign donor to shut down federal agencies is not one Republicans are very interested in answering."

David Hogg is running for DNC Vice Chair. "I’ve been impacted by that failed political system far too much, and I want to fucking fix it.”

Such a good piece. I cannot really come to terms with how rare it is in journalism that Musk's action are being recognised for what they are. Few things have scared me more than seeing widespread active efforts to rationalise and deny Musk's expression of Nazi bigotry, in mainstream media

Bottom trawling, dragging a heavy net across the seafloor, has been compared to burning down a forest to catch rabbits. Sweden starting to ban this in sensitive habitats is my #EarthOptimism #OceanOptimism for today. 🦑🧪🌎🐠 (I’m not anti-trawl but there are some places we shouldn’t do it)

Good morning to everyone except the people trying to claim that Musk's Nazi salute wasn't a Nazi salute

The most actually Christian thing I've seen a Christian do in years. More of this please #auspol

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

My first glimpse of the inauguration is Elon Musk grabbing his chest and throwing a seig heil. Not encouraging.

Yep, the problem definitely is that we don’t have enough men in charge. 🫠🤬 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Please, for your sanity, spend some time setting up an RSS reader with sources you trust. Social media was never a good way to get the news, and it's only going to get worse. I recommend Readwise, Inoreader, NetNewsWire, Reeder, and Feedly. I also use @flipboard.com as a supplementary algo feed.

Throwing tomato soup on a painting seems like an under-reaction, to be honest

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

If you were going to collect sensitive intel, a Canberra mum’s and bub’s group would be a useful haunt www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

I don’t go hiking because I don’t want to find a dead body and then have to talk to the police.

My god, he actually had to do a did-I-do-good-daddy live check-in after announcing a slew of changes at Meta intended to appease fascism

So rather than address medical misogyny, and the poor way most doctors deal with women’s pain issues, we’re going to Nanny state it. Again. Not the answer here, Labor but sure - it looks like some kinda action.🙄

Good morning!☕️✌️

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. "I'm with stupid". theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Amnesty International has found, on the evidence, that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Palestine. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...
