...and Australia. #auspol

‘Trumpet of Parrots’ 😂. When party as personal brand doesn’t work, try someone else’s brand. Clive Palmer so wants to be Australia’s Trump, but changing his party name to mimic his idol seems to me to undermine his whole intent. #auspol

‘Right now (Elon Musk) is helping Trump dismantle the architecture of American democracy and global stability that Rupert Murdoch, silly old man, thought he was defending.’ www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/media/2... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

proposal to rename the US dollar to the dunning-krugerrand

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Really thought the neural implant would be smaller and less noticeable

Peter Dutton’s $20,000 business lunch promise really was an own goal. #auspol The visuals it's given Labor: fat cats enjoying long lunches with white tablecloths & overpriced food. "We want to cut student debt, they want students to pay for their boss' steak tartare"

If you look closely you’ll see Coco in her natural habitat #dogs

There is more to come. The High Court dealt with ONE criminal matter it did not exonerate Pell from many other cases either dealt with or pending. Nor did it negate the findings of the Royal Commission .

Naarm/Melbourne yesterday afternoon

Straw policy. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Simon Schama unable to ‘find words adequate to the moral abyss from which such a response at such a time could possibly come.’ That about sums it up.

Right on cue #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Saw Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings last night (Hamer Hall, Melbourne). Incredible concert. #musicsky

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I've kept a lot of brilliant @cathywilcox.bsky.social 'toons over the years. This one on university deregulation travels exceptionally well

How to punch a Nazi .. This is a classic .. 🤣🤣 #auspol #FuckTrump #FuckMurdoch #FuckMusk #FuckthoseNazi’sRightOff youtu.be/HSExpmrDogU

The level of racism required to liken the first fleet to the first missions going to Mars - a plant with no life whatsoever- is off the charts

Musk is eyeing off Wikipedia and may attempt to buy it if it runs low on funds. We know he would adulterate the information and insert RW Trumpist propaganda into articles so that nothing in Wikipedia could be relied upon as factual. If you haven't yet donated, NOW might be your last chance. #auspol

The fastest potato you'll ever see! Whilst #wombats might look cuddly and slow, when needed they can hit speeds of 40km/h. While they can’t sustain it for long, these bursts of speed are truly impressive for such stocky little legends. Happy #WombatWednesday! 📷: Bowles Wildlife Photography

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Its not a gaffe. It's back to back, clear as day Nazi salutes. And how does this not make sense? Did we not just watch the campaign Trump ran? Have we all not seen the antisemitism in MAGA? Feels like this is all we should be talking about tomorrow.

The US has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement (again), joining Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only non-signatory countries. Axis of something.

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today? I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites" I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now

Every issue we’re facing is due to major parties being literally incapable of putting our needs & interests first. It doesn’t have to be this way. 20 electorates across Aust now have credible choice on their ballots & can vote for representation which is focused only on community #auspol

Homemade pizza for dinner tonight

Nuclear generation isn't 100% reliable. Analysis of European nuclear data suggests weekly fleet output during peak season can drop below 60% of average levels. This is comparable to the effect of a bad renewable drought on wind+solar generation in Australia. /1

Truly terrified of the hyper-conservative, tradwife cultural vibe shift being turbocharged by these giga misogynist, birthrates conspiracist neocon tech oligarchs. Nightmare timeline. This morning’s Fin…

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’. using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

"Just as significant is what Musk is not saying. As he bombards Germany and the UK with abuse, Musk’s silence on Russia and China speaks even louder." www.ft.com/content/ff7b...

The world is in desperate need of true leaders—so desperate that it begins to mistake loud-mouthed bullies for visionaries.

What an extraordinary, devastating essay. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
