Not quite sure why Tasmanians are so up in arms about the unaffordable footy stadium - it's us mainland mugs that will end up paying for it.

No Barry, no place for violence in the USA. The remote drone strikes didn't occur in America, merely controlled from there.

My son just declared he wants to go to Kyrgyzstan for his gap year. What the fuck?

Ironically, that's the same lesson Labor takes for itself from its wins.

Speciation is giving the furries too much excitement.

Who says Muscovy is winning the propaganda war?

How many temporary or emergency police powers are ever wound back?

I know I've accidentally swiped onto the discover tab when I start hearing far too much about Bari Weiss and Olivia Nuzzi.

Much of what the US is experiencing they've been subjecting other parts of the world to for decades, with bipartisan support, so sympathy remains a little short. I hope that there's a lesson in this for all of them.

#OtD 26 Nov 1920 the Red Army attacked its allies, the Makhnovists in Ukraine, after the latter defeated the Whites. Russian troops attacked in Crimea and Huliaipole, and arrested and executed many. Rebel leader Nestor Makhno managed to escape. More: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

Auto-generated captions on all video is undoubtedly good for the hearing impaired, but it's otherwise rubbish. Misspellings, keeping the ums and ahs, generally distracting.

The original 40k creators would be flabbergasted by just how regularly the grimdark theocracy is misrepresented as something good.

George Monbiot was great at diagnosing this problem (in the UK). New industries have far more trouble getting government support than entrenched polluters who find it much cheaper and easier to invest in corrupting governments than moving with the times.

Have England Spent The Last Four Years Practising How To Lose Faster? Musings on the first Ashes Test from an anonymous former Australian Test cricketer #Ashes 🏏 newsletter.danliebke.com/p/have-engla...

Bazball is what England want to be. Travball is what Australia already is. And that is the end of it. 🏏 #Ashes

If we get free electricity 11-2, should we even get another 5kw of solar?

Did I get the format right?

#Victorians! Our State Library is being trashed by a series of executives with no experience or understanding of public collections. Many hired as 'temps' without full process, who then caused scandals & exodus of specialist & librarian staff: a full wreck looms. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Despite a lost decade under Abbott etc, Australia has done bloody well with the PV installs. Somebody needs to tell Susssan that the horse has bolted.

Cool how we (Bush, Blair, Howard, #notinmyname) killed a million+ Iraqis & did a whole bunch of war crimes to bring democracy to the Middle East.

There's so little going on in the world that we can read articles saying fans are good.

While varroa is definitely bad news, it's not the end of beekeeping or honey. It's been managed in the USA for many decades.

Apart from the racism, I genuinely don't know what ON stands for, couldn't name a single policy beyond stop brown immigration. And that's appealing to lots of Australians.

Latest piece out in @theatlantic.com . Trump's "peace" plan for Ukraine, which he at this very moment trying to force on the country with threats and intimidation, is grotesque. The US president is admitting what too many refused to admit, he wants Putin to win. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This man is sui generis

Is this a good thing? World unsure.

Why do record companies insist on including the remaster date in the track title? 99.9% of us don't care. #firstworldproblems

Electric planes aren't going to work without a radical battery breakthrough. So it's either dirigibles, biofuels or we all stop flying.

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no. This is quite something. metro.co.uk/2025/11/18/w...

If he's referencing Lord of the Flies that is the first literary allusion he's made in his life.

When we signed up to the F-35 contributor program, we got to be part of every F-35 operation from here till eternity. I bet enormous amounts that Defence procurement never raised these risks in their analysis.

No lessons to be learnt here.

I wonder if the USA can heal, and put itself back together after all this. Seems doubtful.

This is a bit bullshit. He's been solid, but Ikitau & Jorgensen have been better.

Disappointing news. The absolute garbage that they put through the mills these days though - I wouldn't build a house right now because of the quality of the softwood available.

Be a Dave

Look who am I to judge (proceeds to make judgement): amateur fight clubs, what the fuck, men.

This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen? TISM are shit.

Four of my boy's five VCE teachers are men. Interesting.

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

'protect farm land for farming'. For fucks sake, we're talking about broadacre cropping and transmission lines here. These dickheads need to visit Gippsland and see all the far more intensively farmed properties that have had transmission lines for a century.

Bold of Finland to remind everyone about WW2.

After the crash I'd like it if all crypto returned to its fundamental value (zero), and it was regulated out of existence.

Remember how everyone thought Hilary Clinton had overstepped the mark by calling Trump supporters deplorables and the media went on about it for weeks?

It's a bizarre statement about Australia that we have a cutting edge art gallery paid for by a professional gambler.

New happy clapper school just announced in my local town. Calling itself "AQUEOUS VITAE GRAMMAR" and I can't think of stupider name.

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

Federation Uni, once Ballarat School of Mines, to drop geology. Terrible decision.
