MAGA is essentially defined by its ideological incoherence. These people share very few common beliefs. But you can broadly categorize every action Trump 2.0 has taken as anti-civilizational. Not a single pro-human policy in the whole program.

Channel 7 morning show marks the passing of Brian Wilson by playing... Kokomo.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Scott Morrison will be given Australia’s highest award for service as part of the King’s Birthday honours. The awardee list is currently embargoed, but Crikey has obtained and is choosing to report on it.

The Fair Work Commission’s decision to increase the minimum wage from $24.10 to $24.94 an hour could have the unintended consequence of providing workers with the necessary money to buy food and water, business leaders have cautioned.

The pitch is never that AI will fold the laundry for us, it's always that AI will remove the good stuff from our lives. Picking a birthday present for my kid isn't a box I check, it's something I want to do, and six months later when that's the stuffy she sleeps with I get to feel good about that.

Oh yeah, right into my veins

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

⚡Transfer of Abrams tanks from Australia to Ukraine stalled due to US resistance, media reports. The U.S. has not granted the necessary formal permission to allow the transfer of Australia's retired tanks to another country, Australian defense officials told the ABC.

Fascinating and important (and depressing!) from @semaforben.bsky.social

Our secret plot has finally been revealed: Ariel Bogle and I have written a book: 'CONSPIRACY NATION: Exposing the dangerous world of Australian conspiracy theories' We have a lot to share about what we uncovered, but for now you can pre-order it here: bio.to/ConspiracyNation

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

A reminder that neither the LNP's nor the ALP's policies will touch the main problem

A comical response to a completely self-imposed crisis.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

What a duo of tweets.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Australians have a lot to be proud of, including our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). The US drug companies want to water it down, and we need our elected leaders to be brave in defending it. In an increasingly dangerous world, we will need leaders to be braver than they have been for decades

The best I can usually say for the music they play in this shared office is it's pretty forgettable, but now it's Nick Drake's "Pink Moon"

The worst people in the world are like "They must be getting paid to hate me" when in reality everyone is happy to hate them for free

Not being pedant guy hopefully; SP is correct that what Trump voters got was of no value based on any objective metric of value. The bitter pill for me is this inescapable proof that, for millions of Americans, bigotry and white supremacy is a coin whose value surpasses literally everything else.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Imagine: Making the debt servicing of an asset tax deductible, then not charging capital gains on that asset (that you've also just massively subsidised as an asset class and pumped up its tires). Good news for existing home owners, your house price will double.
