The beauty of meditation is that you can find peace and know that people like Ezra Klein who publicly talk about their meditation practice are doing to to convince themselves that being an apologist for genocide is OK. Thanks asshole.

At least 51 killed in Gaza in over past 24 hours - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/least-51-killed-gaza-over-past-24-hours

One type of think piece I’m really starting to hate is “after Gaza” in political terms. Like the slaughter going on right now isn’t the most urgent and apparent crisis going on in HD reality.

This uber has 2GB on and it’s just so insane and infuriating. Even just the tone of this flog sound like a near death gravel voiced version of the parrot. The only redeeming feature is that the original version will see justice.

Need this poster (probably not possible to remove from current location)

Gadigal country (Sydney) can you turn down the glorious a bit (don’t). 27 and fine. I was 27 and drunk when I lived round these parts.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

Me as peak boomer. What I have never understood is how ppl “get their news” from TikTok or even YouTube. Yes these are probably a web 2.0 of OG twitter where you might get quick, non pier reviewed, unedited, pure vibes based response to events. But I really did try w TikTok to train the algorithm

How do you know someone is vegan? They are constantly harassed into taking about it at every meal for not eating the remains of the killing floor wrapped in plastic (sausages) at the social event.

I love pre tour fridge clean out improv salad/soup/stir fry day. Just got left over vegan sausages, leaves, mushrooms & tomatoes hanging around. Mixed very awesome mrscs.com.au OG chilli oil w dash of soy sauce and boom one of those Asian “beef” salads omni’s pay themselves on the back about

the hit new single from torn hawk "Trump & Epstein Enjoy The Music And Talk Deli Sandwiches" is tearing up the airwaves

ABC Aust News’ fascination with US politics is driving me nuts…today we learn in breathless detail about James Comey indictment. Who cares? This material pushes out local news. It’s funded from general funds. It distorts Australian story telling. It’s also boring. #auspol #makeitstop

The people's game: I look out the window it's a sea of affluent gronks in this confusing corporate box members' attire I've never understood (because I was in the music room at school not down the oval) pre-loading on $15 beers.

Elon Musk went to Pedophile Island www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

This fuckin app. I have to click the three options which don’t seem to relate to their name to see anything (or more importantly anyone) I was looking for or (I am sure) following.

They solved the problem of paying Patrick by not making any movies worth watching or reading about.

Another night of Collingwood misery emerges. Usually, before (a pointless) the public holiday there is a *buzz* on Gertrude street and if the Pies were in the final it would be going off. Now its empty chairs at the Builder's Arms & saw a Brisbane Lioins scarf on Smith Street.

This is the mainstream press posting that "American" means "Anglo-Saxon"!!!

socialism doesn't work, that's why we had to sanction venezuela's economy. but libertarian capitalism works just fine, that's why we had to bail out argentina 👍

Sept drop is absolute bliss and one of the rare and legitimate playlists I never miss. Ref to playlist culture is because I am long suffering Gen X who still believes in Albums.

Donald Trump rode the escalator in the right way. by Ezra Klein

When is a head cold hayfever, whose fault is this (those damn plane trees outside my door)

On disagreement www.deepcutnews.com/p/from-charl...

I turned off the emotion manipulation app for one day & some kind of update emerged making it somehow worse (at least on iPad still deleted off phone). One day MySpace moment will come and it will be a relief. It’s not that hard to find good books, music, live events without being stuck on 📲

The only reddit people I know are well meaning millennials who would talk about the virtues of niche communities and special interest knowledge but when it comes to collective actions offline or someone not in their Pokémon circle, it’s too hard for them.

man he’s still got it

Beyond stealing East Timors resources which isn’t even a secret the only real conspiracy about Canberra is why there isn’t a fast train to the other capitals. Low energy conspiracy.

This is weird, but maybe helpful for other folks: I've been struggling with a persistent ringing in my ears for months, and finally scheduled an appointment to get it checked out. The doctor found a tiny experimental noise band in there. Little table full of gear, bunch of cables and everything

A trickle then a flood. Once upon a time South African apartheid was assumed to be unbreakable. The final colonial white ethno-nationalist outpost is pushing on with genocide but at some point people will use whatever leverage they have to hand to push back.

The centrist takes are getting more hollow and their big hitters (eg Ezra Klein) more out of touch with evey op ed no one except concerned boomers read over brunch.

This is amazing.

Might head out and soak up some of atmosphere in Collingwood tonight.

I’m reliably informed Labubu share price is tanking. I haven’t even finished the essays about its cultural significance!

you need cold, salt and a meal at the same time

TGIF

You worried about the funny guy lost his job. Me, when the internet is out in Gaza war crimes and the most horrific atrocities are being committed in the dark as intended by the perpetrators.

People like Waleed who objectively have no values get things wrong consistently because they live in a world of detached thought experiments.

American Freedom: You have a car and the radiator is playing up, instead of fixing it you keep stopping on the freeway every few hrs to top up the water and tell ppl nothing is wrong. This is gun control, a conversation completely absent from the past week.

America is such a dangerous but deeply unserious country

Jimmy who? Srsly tho centrist comedians and all the celebrity class coastal elites also have themselves to blame for hedging their bets on hoping genocide Joe would be forgotten long enough and the exact same policy was presented as viable future. Voters stayed home like no one watches network TV.

Across the room with ambient noise “darling there is a race [F1] on this weekend” wife “this is Australia it’s racist every weekend”

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Conversations with dear Abd. Please help there is 23 in his displaced family in Gaza www.gofundme.com/f/help-abdel...

Gentle reminder that Labor’s targets are bullshit because their emissions reduction policies are bullshit - real emissions aren’t falling at all, they’re flat, but the govt employs land-use accounting tricks and dodgy offsets to sell their lies

Honestly I don’t even know the guy but to signify potential conversation with an idiot “getting my Charlie Kirk table out” is a now a verb.

It’s quite clear that the rules based liberal order has been well and truly extinguished by Israel. Of course it follows that the response to confirm of genocide being committed is to argue that the UN body watching has to be shit down.

Israeli forces assault Fatah secretary, detain family in Salfit - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/sraeli-forces-assault-fatah-secretary-detain-family-salfit-raids

So many Australian institutions have capitulated to foreign interference from Israel and its proxies over the last two years. We've seen suppression of peaceful protests, people losing their jobs and being cancelled. I trust that ASIO is rigorously investigating this threat to our way of life.

"I knew that someday, years or perhaps decades down the line, when half of Gaza was still rubble and the other half Israeli skyscrapers, the magazine would offer a mea culpa. Maybe someone involved would end up considering it the biggest mistake of their career."
