This disgusting stunt was described by ASIO as ‘mind-blowingly stupid’ and yet the only person to face consequences for it is the person who blew the whistle and exposed it. Hmmmm....

I struggle to understand what Jack's point is in this piece. He appears to be claiming that gay men are victims of trans activists. I found it intellectually feeble. Activism has been a spectrum of views and approaches to strategy since the beginning of time. www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-aust...

Trans and gender-diverse children are loved and deserve to thrive. Making them the target of political attacks, here in Australia just as in the US, are contemptible

It strikes me that these 'you couldn't make this stuff up' type stories about con artists doing astonishingly brazen things are almost always about a man. Why is that?

Rather than this week gifting $800m to US defence companies, a smart govt would be using that money to entice as many US scientists and researchers to come here as we can www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What is the best approach for world leaders to take in responding to Trump’s “flood the zone with sh*t” strategy? 🧵

USAID probably did more to keep Americans safe from conflict than any other organisation including the military, but I guess the CIA et al will be far more efficient under DOGE 😵‍💫

"...Trump is provoking a US constitutional crisis ... if he succeeds, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman warns, it would be a 21st-century coup – with power slipping from elected officials’ hands. The real story hidden behind the president’s trade war, he says, is the hijacking of government..."

Unfortunately the schadenfreude from Trump voters realising what tariffs and cuts to public service mean is not kicking in and instead I just feel extremely sad for America.

We are rescinding a memo, not a freeze, and we are doing it to avoid confusion about a court injunction. What % of Americans do you reckon would have a clue what she is talking about?

Thank you for saying this Zoe. It means a lot. I would like to hear from the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader to reassure us also.

Is it just because I'm in my own comfort bubble, or do Bluesky users seem to skew to older generations? Gen Z doesn't appear to be here.

Crossposting from other place as this thread may be of interest here too: Some right-wing accounts there spreading false claims about the electoral history of Adam Bandt (claiming he is only in parliament because of Labor preferences) so here's the facts on that.

Many use term 'clickbait' yet few understand it. Headlines are no longer headlines. They are not chosen to summarise, highlight, emphasise or educate: the sole purpose is to capture attention & traffic. If you throw rocks at a writer before you've read the article, you're not safe on the internet.

In mid-2023, the national mood (as measured by our right track/wrong track monitor) shifted from positive to negative territory. This week's result is the most positive since. In fact, those under 35 are now in net positive. Women and older voters are more likely to be pessimistic.

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country
