it is useful not to lose sight of how, underneath everything else, hollow all of this noise is. portland and chicago are warzones, so i am dispatching a couple hundred best buy assistant managers there to quell the insurrections. potemkin stuff, paper thin

The way this made me laugh! 🤣

Big congrats to Santos Ltd!! 10 years. $46.7 billion in sales. ZERO TAX New ATO data out today. @markogge.bsky.social @australiainstitute.org.au data.gov.au/data/dataset...

Higher overall taxes in red states like Texas avoiding wealth income tax! And "Liberal policies keep blue-state residents living longer" "Republican-controlled states have higher murder rates" Crimes per 1M trips * NYC: 1.3 * Dallas: 38.0 "Texans 17% more likely to be murdered than Californians"

This is what hate and division create. Total chaos. All from one man who like all Authoritarians, blame the other side for their actions. Beware Australia, we have like minded people in this country who would run us into the ground for their own personal gains. #auspol

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

What really annoys me about these Right Wing Nut jobs is that they, like Trump, hide behind a false allegiance to the flag pretending to be patriotic to the few. I used to fly the Oz flag proudly, but not any more, why? Because I do not want people thinking I am one of these. #auspol

We live in a system… Making the planet hotter than it’s been in 125,000 years. Making CO2 levels higher than they’ve been in about 12 MILLION years. Distracting us with so much inanity & ignorance most people have no idea this means we’re on track to lose absolutely everything.

what a big, manly conservative should REALLY be afraid of

So frustrating hearing & seeing fruit & seed bearing hedges being cut ahead of winter. We have lost 50% of our hedgerows since the 1950’s, no wonder we are in a “”#BiodiversityEmergency in the UK.

"Perhaps prison would have persisted this way forever. Perhaps our granite hearts and iron wills would have never crumbled. Perhaps the prison mentality, that we be cold and heartless, would have endured. Perhaps. But then there were kittens."

Beating up a vulnerable person is ultimate “beta male“ behaviour. Nothing says “I’m afraid and have poor coping skills” louder. What a loser.

If you are still in denial, wake up. It’s truly deteriorated to this level

This story is from today, but the crash actually happened on September 7 in Germany. Don't buy a Tesla.

Colbert had a pretty good one too

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

America: the actual definition of kakistocracy right now. For the Trumpers it means: government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

@sarahschwartz.bsky.social on ABC talking about our ad featuring Jews calling to sanction Israel NOW for the genocide in Gaza. The ad comes as the UN has released an authoritative report stating that Israel is committing a genocide. We need this message to be heard by ALL Australians.

Another cis woman harmed by #LaboursTransBan and the Prime Minister’s weaponised transphobia Told to use the men's toilets bcos strangers refuse to believe she's a woman - she’s just tall A direct result of the government legitimising narrow, sexist beauty standards and giving cover to harassment

Approving new coal and gas projects means rejecting climate science. Approving new gas and coal projects means rejecting the pleas of our Pacific neighbours The fact that we give half of our gas exports away for free just rubs economic salt into the the scientific and diplomatic wounds

People ask why so many asylum seekers are young men. 🧵 Because in war & persecution, young men are the first to be rounded up, conscripted, silenced or killed. Families often send a son first. He’s the one most at risk & the one strong enough to attempt the journey then hope to bring others later.

It makes perfect sense to an Australian trust me on that! And it’s probably not what you’re thinking if you’re not Australian.

Does anybody else remember this or IS IT JUST ME?

Still the best explanation of Russian tactics and the difficulty of deterrence. From: Yes, Prime Minister.

What GROK has to say about violence

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @Rattoons1776)

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

JD’s mom was not getting drugs from cartels, she was a nurse who was stealing painkillers from her patients. Her patients suffered and she got high. As a medical professional, I will tell you the lowest life form is someone who steals drugs from their patients. Zero sympathy for JD or his mom.

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP

This part.

An OSU who they let into Yale Law School and treated like a shaved ape that they taught to drink sparkling water and later paid for a senate seat for. relaxed admissions criteria for geographically diverse candidates at Yale bsky.app/profile/hell...

Inadvertently, this is an incredible illustration of how (a) the infrastructure required for fossil fuel extraction is bonkers and (b) how we don't consider our oil and gas to be 'destroying nature' like wind turbines simply bc it's undersea
