Eavesdropping on the guy a table away moaning about how everyone never gives him the time of the day, after witnessing the same guy be a sarcastic prick to the 18 year old bartender about the cans of coke in their fridge not being at freezing point not ten minutes earlier, has strangely made my day.

I’ve gotta say that the last six or so months has given me a new respect for those who recognise how utterly fucked things are, yet still have the patience, the willpower and the perseverance to just keep plugging away. To keep trying to make people care about the things they should be caring about.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

A petition from Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission calling on parliament to investigate the Daily Telegraph's actions at Cairo Takeaway. The Murdoch media has thus far been allowed to divide and provoke with impunity, and this can't go on. www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/pe...

This has become so utterly absurd. McCarthyism ft. 2025. There is not a single other county - not one - that would be afforded this bizarre protection racket. Not even this one. And it’s only possible because of supine, sellout pissant politicians like this. Nothing is too ridiculous anymore.

You want to know who was actually 'cancelled'? Sinead O'Connor. For the crime of being completely and absolutely right about the Catholic Church.

Yeah marathons are a sweaty business and all, but have you ever swapped over car seats between your two cars after they’ve been sitting all day in 35 degree heat?

But not Australia. A truly shameful moment. The Albanese govt is an integrity vacuum.

Let’s be clear. That Dutton is any chance to be elected - let alone the good chance he now is - is absolutely nothing to do with anything he’s done. He’s still the dumb, thick as pig shit, pillock he’s always been. He’s only a chance because of what a supine flake Albanese has turned out to be.

Every time I see anything Joe Hildebrand says, the only thing I come away thinking is, “the absolute state of this fucking pillock”.

As Trump moves the Overton window of mainstream opinion into the fucking gutter, it will be journalists that do the heavy lifting, normalising this moral rot. You'll see it in their language, in their framing and focus, in their unchallenged repetition of his cruelty. They will try to kill your soul

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

the fucken resistance lib centrists are doing the same shit they did last time, with exactly the same amount of effect - zero. Only one side learned anything from Trump 1.0 and it was Trump.

Just a reminder that “forcible transfer” of a civilian population is a crime against humanity www.law.cornell.edu/wex/forcible....

One consequence of Trump's approach, that the left should seriously think about, is that you can *just do things*. Liberalism led to him and now it's been blasted away. Ditch the traditions people hate anyway, and do what you want. Jail billionaires, nationalise things, build stuff.

The media stop need to using the term “staffers” - doge isn’t a govt department it’s a musk fever dream. These cunts are digital brown shirts and need to be treated like it.

FFS, show some spine.

All this because @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social posted **NEWS** about what Human Rights Watch was saying. The ABC board and management involved in this are contemptible and deserve to no longer have any role with the ABC. Go be paid by news.corp. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

If you’ve ever wondered what occurs when a country is fatigued beyond all breaking points by endless culture warring and confected moral panics… …look at how easily Musk is illegally dismantling entire institutions with almost none of the blowback or explosive reaction that his actions warrant.

Unbelievable. Except it's not, though, is it? In fact, it happens all the fucking time. Zionists don't like it when you mention the fact Israel is committing genocide in Palestine, and everyone's petrified of upsetting them. Because this sort of thing happens. Solidarity, Peter

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... Musk is the most dangerous person in the world. And it’s not close anymore either. Also…never before has AUKUS been a more dangerous prospect for Australia than right now. And this was so foreseeable…and yet here we are. Stumbling blindly into disaster.

You just know that someone, somewhere, at the New York Times is going to pen an article soon where they find random Mexicans and Cubans who support Trump trying to change its name and title it ‘Most Think Trump’s Gulf Name Change Is Silly. At One Guadalajara Tacqueria, Two Men Feel Differently’.

My little girl starts school tomorrow. Nope. Can’t be so. I swear she’s still only a few months old. *sniffs*
