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...

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

David Cross folks.

A Legend

People will still deny that the US has already slipped into fascism.

Just a reminder that no politician or bureaucrat has ever faced any charges for Robodebt

A lot of people worked for years to expose the scandal of Robodebt. But the big lie of ‘mutual obligation’ is still official policy in Australia. Until we treat people seeking help with respect, this stuff will continue

This quote is 10x better if you read it in Trump’s voice

Sometimes you need to take a step back and let yourself really see how fucking batshit this is. Like try telling yourself from 10 years ago that this was going to happen.

Abjectly Surrendered: the ABC Story

"In a strongly worded judgment the court found the broadcaster had “abjectly surrendered” to pro-Israel lobbyists and “let down the Australian public badly”. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Somehow made even worse by the agent being (surprise surprise) semi-literate.

I for one think it's good that he's going to return Tuesday. He never should have taken it in the first place. How do you even take a day??

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

great that the majority of the British media has decided that they want these people in power.

Turns out, committing genocide has some unwanted diplomatic consequences. Eventually. After a couple years of daily atrocities.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Happy Dependence Day everyone 🎉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Who knows what economic and societal decay we would have been facing by now if we hadn't made the wise decision to stay with the strong, stable, sensible family of nations.

The complete jellybacked complicity by elites around the world in appeasing Trump's fascism is really something to be behold. It will never not be shocking, even if completely unsurprising.

Maybe today will be the day that pointing out right-wingers' hypocrisy will make them change course. It hasn't worked for the last few hundred years but that doesn't mean it won't magically happen with jist the right post.

Morning. ☕️

yeah

Anyone surprised at the horrendous takes from centrists like Klein should read Orwell’s 1940 review of the Mein Kampf reprint - where he makes the point that the original version, printed one year before, was greeted sympathetically and cast Hitler as ‘kindly a light as possible’

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue. You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist

I think you'll find that this isn't true.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

This is so obvious it shouldn't need to be said, but most of the media seem it be incapable of grasping it.

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Israeli and Palestinian activists staged a soccer match with a replica of Benjamin Netanyahu's head in front of the UN headquarters in New York on Sunday. 👇

the rightwing loves to be like “this is the moment we become the nazi party”

On this day in Scottish football: 2003

very well

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

The cops brutally bashed her then pressed spurious charges on her, to intimidate all of us out of our rights to protest

you know you live in a great country when the police can punch a woman's eyeball out of her socket and your constant thought is 'no cop will lose their job here' www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

There should be consequences for the kind of prosecution mischief that leads to *all* of the charges for Hannah Thomas being dropped. Everyone could see what was going on. Some prosecutor for the NSW Police needs to be reminded they've got obligations to the Courts.

I hate all whinges about international breaks, but this might be the worst.

Don't worry though the guy who held up a photo of a man wanted for murder was arrested. At least the nazi finally has been now as well.

Sending an Indigenous woman to hospital is one thing, but interrupting the Premier's presser? Heads will roll. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The first story I did for Crikey back in 2021 was reporting on a leaked neo-nazi manual showing how "media baiting" — aka tricking journalists into writing about them — was a major strategy for them. www.crikey.com.au/20...

Where is Anthony Albanese in calling the attack on the First Nations Camp Sovereignty a hate crime, a terrorist act? There could not be a more blatant attack that is motivated by racial hatred and white supremacy and yet First Nations communities are again failed by this Government.

Thomas Sewell is a very dangerous man. That he can turn up threatening the premier two days after being filmed attacking Camp Sovereignty and he still isn't arrested is quite something.

If you're disgusted by Trumps attempts to establish foreign gulags and forced deportations, you should be disgusted at this too. Australia has been pioneering these assaults on human rights and decency for decades. We are the model for the authoritarian far right.

unbelievable weasel of a man, a failed government barely a year after being elected, and a disgrace to Labour's heritage. the cabinet should commit collective seppuku to erase their dishonor.

Two of the IDF’s favourite things at once

why is no one talking about how much Aaron Eckhart looks like Richard Gough

As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo put it: "A city where you can get let go of your child's hand"

Bad news days for AI and everyone who slops it. 'If your incredible business idea – key word here, business – is to bake cakes for sale and then you complain that you have to pay for eggs and flour then I have some terrible news about your business idea and also quite possibly your soul and brain.'
