The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

How the Murdoch Shitigraph tried to whip up social hatred and division, only to have it blow up in their faces. What a disgusting stunt, but typical Murdoch shit.

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

This is pretty outrageous. Ending violence against women must be a priority, that means proper funding. We need real investment in all parts of the prevention & response system. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/889191...

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?

Peter Dutton is not 'introducing' himself. He is 'rebranding' himself after years of thuggery and racism. #auspol

You might have seen reports of the Liberal Party whining that I, as your community independent, spend too much time "opposing the opposition." Here’s what the major parties don’t get: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THEM. IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THEM. IT’S ABOUT YOU. 🧵

Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Children, women, men, journalists, doctors; 100s of thousands slaughtered. Nearly all Western journalists are lying to you about this. Australia is allied with both the genocidal state and its American funders. Free Palestine. Melbourne. 29 Dec, 2024.

LMAO, Chris Rock on President Biden pardoning his son, Hunter: "He don't move as fast as he used to, he don't talk as fast as he used to, but that middle finger still works!" 😂

The LNP's latest non-plan is nothing more than a re-election tactic & to extend the life of coal and gas on behalf of their large fossil fuel donors. Don't fall for it. They are knowingly lying to the Australian people - and putting all our futures at great risk. #auspol
