Stoked that A Rational Fear has once again been nominated for Best Comedy Podcast in the Independent category at the Australian Audio Awards!!!!!

Great speech, dude.

"I have seen very little evidence that US military doctrine has even tried to keep pace with battlefield developments in Ukraine, ... This is an enormous leadership failure of the first order, both in the training commands and in national leadership." – Jason Lambright via @birmo.bsky.social

"The National Press Club cannot claim to uphold journalistic integrity while platforming oppressors and silencing voices for the oppressed." – Nasser Mashni, APAN President. #FuckIsrael

Not one journalist at the #NPC called out the many mistruths presented by the Ambassador, but we found at least 12. There were many more. #AUSPOL www.newpolitics.com.au/p/the-12-big...

“There are catastrophic risks coming right now… but the insurance industry won’t help people in 20 years’ time with their flooded houses.” - Richard Denniss, co-Chief Executive Officer Support a climate disaster levy: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/climatedisasterlevy

'Queensland’s new laws have been said to echo those of the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era.' Here we Joh again! Queensland’s new speech bans and Police powers ~ Tyson Parker independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

I’ll be impressed about the innovation, ingenuity and courage of flying around the moon after we use those same qualities to to eradicate homelessness, poverty and oppressive capitalism.

We document fuckery in vain hope this changes something. The idea is if enough people know the truth, something will shift. As a motivation, this is becoming less powerful. The truth feels screamingly obvious, and yet the monsters persist and the masses clap and vote for them.

THIS IS FUCKING OBSCENE 35 countries urgently convening to reopen a trade route. The same 35 countries who did fuckall to stop a genocide. Our 'leaders' are monstrous. #FuckIsrael #FuckTheUSA

FINALLY #NotOurABC have started reporting what "Angus Taylor says ..." Thank goodness

A fascinating read.

"Australia is one of the few countries, possibly the only one, where there is no limit to the private income and wealth a school can amass without forfeiting public funding" Albo should STFU about 'social cohesion' while school funding directly undermines it. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

Israeli politicians wore golden NOOSE pins to celebrate the Israeli Govt's new death penalty law to hang any Palestinian convicted of killing an Israeli. The law does NOT apply to Israelis convicted of killing Palestinians. Let me guess: Penny Wong is "deeply concerned." 🙄 #Israel #racism #auspol

Was it just a really crap April Fool's joke?

Imagine if Labor had set up a national anti corruption commission tough enough to investigate things like this

Lidia Thorpe told to stop quoting the vile words of QLD cops who used a choke hold on Indigenous man Steven Nixon-McKellar who died in their custody. Cop: “choke this c*** out” Too vile for our parliament but not too vile for the standards of QLD police. #auspol

Growing Up Means Realizing That None Of The Worst Villains Are In Prison The law doesn’t exist to protect ordinary people from the most malignant members of our society, the law exists to protect the most malignant members of society from ordinary people. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/growing-up...

Here's me. "Only morons and ghouls could possibly believe the Israeli Ambassador’s Press Club narrative"

“I supported this war. And now you will have to suffer the consequences of it.”

So-called mutual obligations are counterproductive and legally dodgy. I asked Labor if they would pause MOs, given the fuel crisis triggered by the illegal war they support is going to harm people on poverty payments the most. Their answer? Mutual obligations are good actually.

Nothing says 'not a crisis, don't panic' like the prime minister deciding to hold a covid-style address at 7pm on the last day of parliament for a month, ahead of a hastily arranged press club address, just to prove that yes, this government does hold a (petrol) hose.

It's time for the government to give Australians a fair return for their resources. A 25% tax on gas exports could raise enough to completely cover the cost of FREE university and TAFE! @sophiescamps.bsky.social #auspol

Maybe Bluesky will get mad at me for saying this, but this is a bizarre headline because if you actually read the article it says the exact opposite. Please consider reading the whole article before doom-sharing the irresponsible headline.

Sarah Hanson-Young says her advice to the Australian women & children forced in detention in Syria is “form a soccer team” “Then maybe the PM might care about you.” “Who’s leading the charge on all of this?… Pauline Hanson, the chief racist of them all” 🔥 #auspol

National Press Club copping heavy criticism AGAIN I reported on the arms industry's infiltration of the NPC in Nov (after it cancelled Chris Hedges) More than a quarter of the NPC’s sponsors are part of the global arms industry or working on its behalf undueinfluence.substack.com/p/arms-indus...

The Psycho Oompah Loompah throws a wobbly after Europe FINALLY stops capitulating to his deranged bullshit. #FuckTrump

Some of the grossest shit I’ve ever seen on TV. Genocidal propaganda.

Nationalist politics aside, this only seems paradoxical (SCIENTISTS aren't excited about going to the MOON???) because so many of us have unwisely conflated the natural sublime that inspires scientists (wow the universe, how, why) from the technological sublime (wow big machine rumble bright loud)

GO ITALY 👊

GO SPAIN 👊

But will keep supporting the illegal wars of the U.S. and Israel, and their associated war crimes and genocide, right, @senatorwong.bsky.social? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Israel just passed a law mandating death by hanging for Palestinians in rigged military trials voting 62-48 in the Knesset. Netanyahu turned up in person to vote yes. Ben-Gvir wore a metal noose pin on his lapel while the chamber erupted in cheers at the prospect of killing more Palestinians.

Queensland went from a government that was using the revenue royalties from mining to build a renewable energy powered grid, to this…

The More Murderous Israel Gets, The More We Hear About "Antisemitism" Whenever Israel is killing tons of civilians the western media always start churning out articles about “antisemitism” and Jewish feelings. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-more-m...

Tim Wilson’s Q on LNP’s fuel policy is easy pickings for Jim Chalmers who explains why govt policy is better as didn’t exclude truckies that LNP left out💥 Tehan’s attempt to misquote the original Q also a flop as Speaker asks if he can start “listening to the question” #auspol

Well, this made me swear. I believe 600 dual citizen IDF soldiers have returned from Israel and nada. One guy goes to Myanmar. Where is the justice? #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Israel murders journalists for fun, so it makes sense the National Press Club would invite the Israeli ambassador to speak www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Tony Sheldon unloads on Bridget McKenzie’s “pile of absolute rubbish” after claims the FW amendment to Fairer Fuel Bill covers just ‘50%’ of workers, which the LNP is voting against. “Truth plucked out of thin air, and you know where it should be put”🔥 #auspol

Factcheck: Yes, Ed Husic is right. Australia exports gas so cheaply that Japanese companies profit from on-selling our gas thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Is it OK to say "from the sea to the river"? #ChrisafulliIsADick

Good riddance. Shithead.

“Trust in our government has been harmed forever by its support for the genocide of Palestinians, and the IHRA definition obstructs the process of truth-telling which is needed to recover from this,” #Auspol

Outrageous that an artist in Australia, who makes a living from his creative output, can be threatened with arrest and imprisonment for using a phrase with - at best - contested meaning. This is normal under authoritarian regimes.

Jim Chalmers rebukes Today’s Sarah Abo over her claim Tas & Vic are implementing “COVID-style measures” by offering free public transport during the fuel crisis. 🤦‍♂️ Chalmers “I commend the governments of Vic & Tas. That seems to us like a good, common-sense solution.”💥 #auspol
