Nicki Minaj was never a favourite - and least we forget her COVID opinions - but kerripes.

I find it incredibly difficult to write about my Jewishness. I didn't want to write this, but I did. We need to re-embrace complexity and nuance in thinking about and discussing the Jewish future.

So fucking help us all if the Murdoch press's insidious shit makes me start defending Albanese. But this confected bullshit is going to make me start if anything will.

Wouldn’t want to politicise this tragedy. That would be terribly crass.

New baseline studies to be conducted in southern Tasmanian waterways. Absolutely astounding that baseline studies were not part of salmon pen establishment permits & that philanthropy not the industry or state government is paying for them. Look like standard environmental management practices awol🤷🏻‍♀️

It wasn’t the year of evil Nazi broligarchs after all, 2025 was the year of our true overlords (especially if we keep carrying on like this): THE KRAKEN 🐙 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It has been hard for me to write this year, and I’ve struggled with why that is. But tonight I realised that writing for me is fundamentally about hope, and I don’t have any at the moment. I’ve stopped recognising the world, and I can’t have hope for something i don’t know. Therefore, no writing.

I ordered the online kit. I don't feel great about it.

Narrator: His critics can't be satisfied. The criticism is the ends, not the means, where ghouls compete to see who can climb atop a pile of dead bodies to shout the loudest.

Christ this is just gallery bullshit: "Much has been said of Albanese's inability to assume the natural role of a prime minister as "national mourner in chief" in the wake of a crisis" Much has been said by us in the gallery, therefore it must be important.

Excuse me why is anyone asking Mike Pezzullo anything?

I just opened Facebook and the very first post in my feed was boosted content from Tasmanian senator Claire Chandler stating that she's "not afraid" to say that a woman is an "adult human female" with XX chromosomes. So that platform is going fine.*

Has anybody got experience with ceiling fan rebalancing kits? I need them for a couple of our fans and I don't remotely trust any of the ones I have seen online to be spun around the ceiling at high speed for years on end without killing a family member. I would love high quality recommendations.

Chris Minns’ ban on protests calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza does not foster “community harmony". These protests oppose anti-Semitism and call for peace. Taking our democratic rights away is only sowing more division.

Extremely evocative of stealing jpgs from the NFT people

It's only a ceasefire when Hamas stops firing. Otherwise it's just sparking settler-terrorism.

Your tax dollars at work.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Do you trust me?

Tonight's adventure in home maintenance was a blocked overflow relief gully (👇). After an hour and a half of pissing about I pulled a clump of aggregate the size of my fist out of the pipe, which had been the nucleus of the blockage. I sure hope that wasn't from something important. 😬

Minns is a disgrace

Incredibly craven stuff by the AFR in their editorial. Happy to crackdown on all speech except don’t take away our right to be anti-immigration.

Seeing the adverts for "StandUpToHate" with Kyle Sandilands being front and centre really was an insane choice that undermines the entire campaign

Tom Sewell's #nazi gang is assembling in Sydney from January 24--26 & participating in the March for White Australia on #InvasionDay. I reckon several hundred nazis leading a larger contingent of c00kers & flagwits to promote white nationalism is 👎. slackbastard.anarchobase.com?p=53822

The Global Carbon Project has just published the most comprehensive Global Hydrogen Budget to date. H2, although not a GHG, has an indirect Global Warming Potential 37 times more potent than CO2. Carbon Brief: www.carbonbrief.org/hydrogen-emi... Research paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Focussing on this from a pure security perspective, it’s wild that an IS-linked attack was just carried out in Australia and we’re barely talking about it - the focus is on protestors and universities. www.afr.com/policy/forei...

Sharri Markson from Sky News Australia directly blamed Senator Mehreen Faruqi for the mass murder at Bondi - at a memorial Faruqi was visiting to pay respects to **one of her family friends who was killed** The same news station that hosted a neo-nazi for an interview youtu.be/GlY7UYavX2Q?...

Matt Yglesias gets a guest essay in The NY Times to push oil industry propaganda. And he is no different from the likes of Stephen Miller in his approach to the facts. But let's start with his big idea! "Liberals should support America’s oil and gas industry."

Australia is definitely rushing towards a UK model - criminalising anti-genocide protest as terrorism and arresting those opposing mass genocidal actions Those hoping for strict new gun control laws overestimated Aus centrists and underestimated Aus racists

Australia's democratic institutions are already absolutely fucking cooked. They are basically a bad parody. All signs are pointing toward the reality that things are about to get so much worse - permanently - so fast over the coming months. We're in deep shit, and I don't know what to do.

For his heroics, the asylum seeker was shot, kicked in the head, and now faces deportation. Today, the government also announced they are implementing Zionist lobbyist Jillian Segal’s plan to oversee Australian public life from education through to arts orgs and immigration. It’s completely fucked.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate. Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.

Last weekend's terror attacks will fundamentally change Australia for many reasons, but a big one will be this is a multi-decade pressure release for Australia's conservative infrastructure.

Every train station bin had a clear exterior so you could see bombs placed inside them. The police would do perfomative raids on muslim families, in one memorable case removing a plastic toy sword in an evidence bag. As time went on things just got weirder and more desperate.

Something I can't really stop thinking about is how after Sep 11, in Australia right-wingers basically spent 2.5 decades fantasising about and warning that a mass broad civilian-targeted terror attack on Australian soil was imminent, and the fact it never happened made them lose their minds

It did stink but the exciting bit is that it sounds like a victim of a Powerful Owl!

You won't know this until paragraphs 13 and 14, but Victoria made a new crime, then the number of people charged with crimes went up as people who mightn't have been charged for the previously non-existent crime started being charged for it. That's why the numbers are up.

Our political establishment - every person who imagines that they sit above us - routinely fails when we need them. Whener we are weakened by circumstance, they choose to dig their nails into the infected wound. I wouldn't want to let my anarchism show but maybe that's a problem with a solution.

Coke admitted they had to generate 70,000 video clips for their latest Christmas slopvertising BY MY CALCS: - 4x the CO2 impact of a normal ad project - 1 day of 2-5 medium hospitals - 1 month of 250 households - 44 years of continuous Netflix viewing futurism.com/artificial-i...

It's almost like our rulers - and there's increasingly little doubt that these gronks think of themselves as our rulers - are exploiting the Bondi disaster to limit democratic participation in precisely the way that they have been saying publicly that they wished they could for two years.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

Can someone ask Chris Minns how to avoid undercooking pasta? I wanna know if his solution is to ban protest for that too. It's his solution for literally every other problem.

Ah yes, that's where a recently unemployed 24-year-old bricklayer, who spent years hanging around Australia's pro-IS network, and his 50-year-old migrant father were radicalised: university anti-genocide protests 🙄 Be fucking serious for a moment.

PRRT - the main tax the gas giants are supposed to pay - is down nearly a quarter in MYEFO. The oil and gas industry pays less PRRT than beer drinkers pay tax on their schooies. Insane.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

How has your morning been so far? I just removed a massive rigor mortised beheaded brushtail possum corpse from a tree in our backyard.

The libertarians have stuck corflutes up in the neighbourhood spruiking CASTLE LAW and the very real need to DEFEND YOUR HOME with guns. Just in case you are wondering how they are taking Bondi.

Pack it up folks, we’re done, the worst take has been found

If only the government had acted earlier to let an unqualified, politically appointed anti-semitism Czar police the thoughts of university campuses, the government could have .. <checks notes> .. persuaded a father/son IS terrorist cell from terroristing. <blink blink> Are we really going there?

I'm on annual leave until early Jan. Lots of jobs around the house to do, but I deserve a little treat. What video game should I buy? Some games from the past decade that I like are Hades I and II, Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight and Silksong, Splatoon, the recent Zeldas and Cult of the Lamb.
