I've just come from looking in on X. It is under a huge barrage of Israeli propaganda right now. All complaining that Iran attacked an Israeli hospital. As if Israel had not spent the last couple of years bombing hospitals in Gaza and other countries.

A handful of awful old men are destroying the lives of millions. What a stupid world.

Couldn’t they have fallen out before a couple hundred thousand poor people died?

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

The Night of the Long Tweets

BREAKING: Bill Clinton just said the courts might not hold as Trump tries to become a king. This is a former president telling you the system is this close to collapse. If you’re still playing politics, you’re not ready for what’s coming.

‘Can I write that these scenes are reminiscent of Europe 80 years ago when my own people faced extinction? Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, perhaps not.’ A must-read article by David Leser in The Sydney Morning Herald: www.smh.com.au/world/middle... #antisemitism #ihradefinition

How the fuck do we live in a country where Malcolm Turnbull’s Liberal-NATIONAL Party completely fucked up the NBN yet now that very same National Party are whining about a lack of internet connectivity in the bush? #NewsCorpse

The evidence that this is a bald lie and delusion is that the white population of South Africa is only 7.3% and yet they are still alive.

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

So with the crossbench (including the Nationals) possibly matching the Liberal Party total, the crossbench could become the Opposition, and a crossbencher the Opposition Leader. Would make for an interesting leadership contest. #auspol #politas #ausvotes2025

Morning. ☕️

Oh my lord

What's next? That's a question for how Labor chooses to handle the senate

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

There are not enough adjectives to describe this exquisite, superlative piece of art. Extraordinary talent !

It was always only a marriage of convenience. At least the RWNJs may stop filling the zone demanding first past the post voting.

I cannot English I cannot American I cannot Daily Mail I cannot stop sniggering

Why didn't they move the white South Africans to Libya?

Also time for the head of the Climate Change Authority, Matt Kean, to talk about his role working for Wollemi capital, who are major carbon offsets investors...

Lol NSW Police is facing a class action by 3,000 people relating to their strip searches. This week they admitted to unlawfully strip-searching Raya Meredith and withdrew all their witnesses. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

On Lion's Den Day, we commemorate all the brave Australian men and women who have scarificed whatever is left of their reputation so that defamation lawyers will live very comfortably. (bugle plays forlornly)

This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)

Always telling on himself.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Suggesting that Angus has the best credentials to get the Coalition focussed on economy 🙄 Wasn't he the shadow treasurer that literally just went to the election with no economic policy - no tax policy, no policies on cost of living other than petrol excise. #qanda #auspol

Aaaand there it is.

For 3 years, most of our mainstream media, Press, Radio and TV cheered on Peter Dutton and the LNP. Including the ABC, which parroted "Peter Dutton says" 24/7. This result is a BIG FU to all of those media outlets who failed to brainwash Australian voters.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
