This is just our country now? Every single day it’s like “Today the Nazi laid off everyone who makes sure there aren’t shards of glass in your ice cream” and we’re all just supposed to shrug and keep going to work and paying our taxes? Pretty fucking bleak imho!!

To celebrate wildly over-estimating how much coffee I'd need to stay up for @theshot.net.au's (very enjoyable) Sunday Shot session, here's a thread on the latest emissions update for Aus As @pollyjhemming.bsky.social pointed out: Labor's tenure have been a continuation of Coalition policies....

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

So much shade. So much shade. ABC News Director Justin Stevens on inquiries from “The Australian”, at yesterday’s Senate Estimates. “We’re flooded with their interest, but, despite the very small readership, we do engage and respond to a lot of their queries, quite regularly.”

I originally dug these up to show @glengyron.bsky.social but the idea was to show up in Singapore one day and spend “old” money and see if anyone noticed it was coins from 40-50 years ago. 😃 Deja vu? The same guy who designed Australia’s coins (1966) did Singapore’s (1967) too. Stuart Devlin.

Last year taught me that life is far too short to be arguing with people who are determined not to listen, so I am adopting a no-exceptions immediate block policy if you sound like any of these squares because quite frankly if you’re going to snap out of it you’ll do it yourself.

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.

I don’t think a DOJ official has ever been fragged by his own people but we might just see that here?

I really wish the Australian media would stop calling any weapon bigger than a potato gun "high-powered". By today's standards the M72 won't do much against a modern tank. This hyperbole/ignorance is something pro gun rights groups go on about a lot, and is an easy fix.

What explains the unanimously sycophant coverage of Buttrose’s, frankly incoherent, testimony yesterday? Class solidarity? Journalists confusing her with Asher Keddie? It’s so all the same note and disconnected from reality that there must be some rational explanation.

"The Trump tariffs on our aluminium are a major test for the Albanese govt, could determine the election." FMD. Aluminium articles account for a bit over 1% of all our exports and just 13% of that goes to the USA. We really need to stop acting like pleasing Trump is vital to our economy
