Damn it's gotta be so much worse than we thought...

There goes the US tourist industry. Brace yourselves for a recession America.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

If you work in the American tourism industry be prepared to bring a book to work because the world has no plans on visiting you.

And the business these fuckers are in? Making people unhappy.

*clears throat* police say they have nothing to go on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Amazing that people are only just starting to notice this. It's been happening online for years. Fake attacks and antagonism by Russian backed provocateurs who's sole purpose is just to make as many people angry as possible. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

This is what pisses me off about all of this. The rise of the NSDAP came as a result of losing the bloodiest war fought in European history. The return of MAGA is the result of boobs in video games being too small and not being able to go to Applebee’s for a few months in 2020.

Been playing a lot of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and just thought of it as "Grand Theft Ottoman" and now I'm insufferably smug with myself...

A colloquial Turkish phrase about talking at cross-purposes is ben diyorum çanakkale boğazı, sen diyorsun yandı götümün ağzı. It means “I’m talking about the Dardanelles, you’re talking about your ass being on fire”

Fuck it. It's lunch time. Let's see your favorite Mitch Hedberg jokes. "My manager's cool, he gets concerned, he says, 'Mitch, don't use liquor as a crutch.' I can't use liquor as a crutch... because a crutch helps me walk."

As a 58yo male I'm frankly amused and ashamed of how fragile men have become. We've been (and still are) the dominant group in society's hierarchy yet we continue to whine and crywank about how unfair everything is. Every man subscribing to this theory of Dutton's is a pathetic mewling loser

Schumer is just embarrassing at this point. The Democrats need to empty out the old folks home and get some energy going.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

You honestly couldn't pay me to fly to the US right now. Which is slightly awkward because it's gonna come up at some point...

It's horrifying to watch but I'm still glad we've reached the 'find out' stage of Trump's second presidency so quickly.

The difference is, though, Hitler’s cars are still really popular.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”

Sure looks like genocide…

Would love someone with more knowledge to calculate how much CO² a wildfire releases. In the 2019 Sydney fires I did a back of the napkin calculation and came up with roughly 30 tonnes of CO² per hectare burned. It added 50% to Australia's emissions that year and it's never mentioned. #lafires

Oh no. This is horrifying. Thinking of all my LA ppl right now.

What a cracker of a test match. Superb from both sides. #AUSvIND

@mikecarlton01.bsky.social has recently release "Dive! Australian Submariners at War" - I was embarrassingly unaware of this until today, so sharing in case I'm not alone. Based on his previous work, it's likely to be well worth a read. #NavalHistory www.penguin.com.au/books/dive-9...

Happy Holidays from a very relaxed hound on a gorgeous summer Christmas Day.

This will end terribly. I try to use DAZN to watch NFL and it is almost completely useless. However it does come with the added bonus of forcing boxing content down your throat while it sits there chugging away trying to load what you actually want to watch. www.skynews.com.au/business/med...

At the GDCA and IGF awards earlier this year, winners and presenters slammed executives who laid off thousands of workers this year and pleaded for a ceasefire in Gaza. It was the most vocal developers have ever been at the annual award ceremony. #GDBestof2024

Is anybody else sick to death of reading about the bloody Americans ? If they’re stupid enough to allow two disgusting billionaires to run their country they deserve what’s coming. Yes, I know, if the US sneezes we catch cold, but fuck ‘em.

My column. Fire at will, see if I care. It's time to shut down greyhound racing, for good. It's being banned all over the world, but in NSW they are propping it up! Why are the politicians so weak-kneed on it? www.smh.com.au/sport/kiwis-...

Australia news live: people convicted of drug crime ‘aren’t national heroes’, Dutton says in wake of remaining Bali Nine release No shit mash-for-brains. Nobody is saying they are heroes, but they can still be victims punished far in excess of their crimes. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
