Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.

Just in! On Wednesday the Federal Court will determine whether or not the ABC should pay a pecuniary penalty over its firing of Antoinette Lattouf Judgment will be delivered at 10.15 am

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

politics aside, the reason climate targets is because the massive-scale dumping of greenhouse gases into the sky and oceans is causing a severe and faster-than-expected collection of acute catastrophic impacts, and technology only stops that in certain conditions aka: climate still matters

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

I did not "miss" this.

what do you mean he was a grifter, they're all grifters. are you saying funerals don't usually have a number you can text to order merch

If you are in Canberra, get along to this. Have seen some of the clips and it is amazing/shattering

Chris Uhlmann in The Oz on Friday in his climate change denial screed suggested that "No one can model the future". And err what??? Chris seems to think that because he is ignorant of how something is done, that must mean it isn't real.

‘The philosopher Judith Butler and the Middle East historian Ussama Makdisi are perhaps the only two notified people who have spoken publicly about the email they received. Butler sees the silence of the others as a sign of fear.’ @mashagessen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/o...

"Labor can pretend it is “following the science” (it’s not – if it were, it would stop new coal and gas projects) ... because the Coalition is stuck somewhere in 2012 pretending beta-Tony Abbott politics is all it needs to get back in," – @amyremeikis.bsky.social in @thenewdaily.bsky.social ⤵️

Great piece from @rossgittins.bsky.social in the SMH today. It references a new report from @richarddenniss.bsky.social on how Australian governments game their climate targets to conceal their lack of climate action. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/report/targe...

apparently the crazies on FB found this and did not quite agree :-)

Not sure I have regretted anything less than cancelling my @washingtonpost.com sub

I fully support the UK, Canada and Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state. It is not a 'reward' for Hamas. It is rightful attempt to preserve the only model that could achieve long-term peace amidst Israel's inexcusable colonisation of the West Bank and destruction of civilian life in Gaza.

Minutes before Trump bragged that he "HATES" his opponents, Charlie Kirk's grieving widow said she forgives her husband's killer and called for love for his opponents. Unfathomably grotesque for Trump to deliberately and explicitly contradict her at her own husband's memorial service.

Narrator's voice: Kirk actually hated his opponents, he devoted himself to getting them fired from their jobs.

"And of course, we'll need your most solemn sparkler display. Ideally something that would pair well with the Village People?"

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Trump: "I hate my opponents and I don't want the best for them" So glad all his supporters have spent the past week talking about how the left are so uncivil. So glad all the shitty centrists of the world have spent the past week saying the left needs to reach out and be kind.

Welcome to the Theocracy.

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

And yet never actually mentioned anything Jesus Christ said once.

And by the way, almost every single Neo-Nazi I track on a daily basis believes strongly that Tucker was talking about Jews. Message received.

JFC, this is balls out insane. Not least because it is antisemitic AF, but because Jesus was attacked because he was preaching to give up your possessions, love one another and show mercy, which are all antithetical to everything Carlson, Trump *and Kirk* stand for.

Oh god even worse. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Big day for Di Minaur at #lavercup

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

"Google has allowed [.] Israel to purchase sponsored content spots so that online users searching on the Global Sumud Flotilla will be shown inaccurate, propagandized content accusing the flotilla participants as being allied with violent, terrorist elements." #USA #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide

ICE denies using excessive force in Broadview, Illinois. Never mind the videos…

The Global Sumud Flotilla sails toward Gaza because governments have failed — but the people have not. Humanity is on board, breaking the siege

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Hot damn, Taylor Harry Fritz. Fritz, smothering the net, gets his first ever win over a #1, thrashing Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2. Europe picked all three singles match-ups today and lost them all. World leads Europe 7-3 in Laver Cup.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Watched the latest Superman last night. Heard it was good, so decided to give it a go. Cripes it was dull. Poorly acted, awful CGI and an incoherent script. Nothing has a lower bar than superhero movies.

Think of an economy as like baking a cake. H1-B visas exist so that if you're out of a specific ingredient, you can Instacart it and keep baking. Add a $100k delivery charge and you'll choose to: 1. Quit baking; or 2. Use an inferior recipe; or 3. Import cake instead of making it

“We’re fine with corruption if comes with terrorizing brown people.” Really sums up the MAGA punditocracy.
