Given that the article is about how the official rejected the bribe and reported it, this is incredibly badly framed headline. It should be about alleged attempted bribes by construction.companies.

OTD in 2022 we had to promise @caitoz.bsky.social that we would completely revise our worldview and media consumption habits when Russia doesn't invade Ukraine.

Who are the 22 athletes Russia killed — and the IOC disqualified Heraskevych for honoring on his Olympic helmet? Children, Olympians, soldiers — the youngest was 9, the oldest 41. Read all 22 stories in our article: euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/13/a...

This is just terrible, but also classic, reporting by ABC. Working people always deserve above inflation wage increases. As a side note, increased purchasing power helps businesses as they get to sell shit to those same working people. search.app/Lw9eC

Ley's general competency and mastery of negation skills are truly on display.

Of all the "why the fuck would you think that, let alone, write it down and get it published?" that get published constantly, this has up to be up there as one of the most "why the fuck?" pieces ever.

Former federal minister and current senator says "I don't trust governments", says something about the bat shit state of Australian politics.

The Worst Australian out there showing just how much Australia's billionaires care about social cohesion.

Of all the lazy inflammatory garbage published by The Australian the past couple of weeks, this has to be up there for the worst. But, you know, something something about social cohesion being important.

Seeing the Adelaide Advertiser's attack on Randa Abdel-Fattah really highlights how mainstream Australian legacy media has zero shame. Happily their influence on Australian politics is in decline.

We strongly condemn the military raid by Israeli forces on the campus of Birzeit University in Palestine. Attacks on education communities are violations of human rights and international law. Education International stands in solidarity with Birzeit University. ➡️ https://eiie.io/3LsV6MF

For a supposed serious paper of record The Australian is a deeply unserious publication.

It’s telling that in the prominent Australian legacy media coverage of Netanyahu’s criticisms of Anthony Albanese, they never mention either the ICC warrant issued for Netanyahu last year or the fraud and corruption charges that Netanyahu faces in Israel.

This came up as sponsored content on YouTube. If we want a serious discussion about the causes of social division, it needs to encompass the impact of this type of garbage. #auspol

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

Not sure how you can call a person who has had regular gigs on commercial TV as an outsider.

NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won. Read @garnethenderson.com in @autonomynews.co

Getting ads to go to Bali reminds me of the conversation with my sister re her 50th in Bali. Her: would you like to come to Bali for my birthday? Me: Are you forgetting the whole arrested at the national parliament and being banned thing? Her: oh yeah Me: could a really short trip, so no.

@thenightly.bsky.social is a truly awful publication

Herald Sun making it clear they are proud to always be on the wrong side of history.

Rather than the collective and thoughtful thinking through of key issues by the collective to get a line, this is much more likely to just be hot takes by individuals, although in reality that’s how most left groups develop party lines, the elevated few deliver their hot takes and that is the line.

Good evening zelensky called assad a douchebag

Good for Prime/Kaylee Hartung for both mentioning the investigation into Hill and actually saying what it’s about

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise. That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump. My latest

💯 this. It’s cumulative and iterative, and guys like Yglesias and Klein absolutely know it, but it suits them to pretend otherwise.

These sentences - “we are going to have to live here with each other believing what we believe. Disagreeing in the ways we disagree." - do nothing to reckon w/ how one side is EXPLICIT abt not wanting to “live here with each other.” They’re trying to eradicate whole categories of people!

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

“When university presidents have little choice but to dismiss faculty members’ expertise and enforce ideological edicts, the space for free speech and open inquiry on our campuses is undeniably being suffocated.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

This is from a display in the German Resistance Memorial Center in Berlin. It tracks political violence by the left and the right during the Weimar Republic. The important thing to note is that while the right carried out more violence, violence by the left was more likely to be criminally punished.

"If you don’t like my tone, it’s called 'tough love,' America. You need to change yourself or this will keep happening, and it will get worse."

Saying it like the demise of the Liberals is a bad thing. An ongoing single party state would be a problem, but it’s much more likely we’ll see some realignment in Australian politics.

I shouldn’t question anyone else’s career choices but if I knew a border collie could do my job better and four times faster I’d look in the mirror and have a long talk with myself

Just bald faced lies from Vance - because he and the administration know they can lie and the media will not just say “this is a lie”.

Never let a lack of understanding of how something actually works to get in the way of a media beat up. Quality financial journalism from The Oz.

Apart from it generally being generally amazing, my favourite thing about it being canon that people in the Star Trek universes listen to classical music of the Beastie Boys. It is that that means that Spock can listen to an ancient song by said band about him pinching people in the neck.
