Scrooged

Vultures (Rough)

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Hands down the funniest thing anyone has ever typed in mastodon

2025 The definitive list of Australian made video games. 🎮 We've recorded games all year for our seventh annual collection of local titles, across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and more! FEATURE by @gdig.bsky.social + @juiceboxcat.bsky.social www.sifter.com.au/post/2025-th... #videogames

What I find so infuriating about all this is that those who want to pretend to act on antisemitism just to deteriorate the rights of those who have long stood against ALL fascist violence are the ones doing the most damage since they end up doing nothing to combat real antisemitism.

Deceptive headlines

"EXCLUSIVE" I hope everyone involved in this story is rightfully ashamed of themselves

People have had enough of Labour. They can change leader but the problem is the hundreds of corporate lobbyists who are Labour MPs. More and more people joining the Green Party every day! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable

I just want things to get better, for once I am so fucking tired

Without doubt the best the year's 'new media' podcasts. There's the #SundayShot followed by daylight. Warm, respectful, user friendly centre-left, you can't go wrong.

Linda Reynolds has bankrupted Brittany Higgins - the woman who was raped in Reynolds’ office. This outcome tells you everything you need to know about the character of Reynolds, and the Liberal Party. Reynolds never had to take this action. This was her choice www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2025/12...

I am a new senior academic in a long established British university. Upon taking charge of 'my' premises, I found dozens of decent students sleeping in our 24-hour study spaces: they are homeless. I don't know how to tackle this without rigid management just changing the locks.

I've included this as a reply to yesterday's post about the Rockstar comment, but here's IWGB's full response this morning.

Stop fining companies minuscule amounts for environmental crimes and chuck their executives in prison instead www.bordermail.com.au/story/912886...

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal is refusing to tell the Senate if she disclosed she was an official at pro-Israel lobby group ECAJ before taking the role. Comes as we reveal the lobby group has quietly changed Segal's bio on its website. Explosive... theklaxon.com.au/cabp

we really do exist.

The ALP designed the NACC with the assistance of the LNP to ensure everyone remained very, very safe and comfortable

A report card on the performance of the @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social government in 2025. A few observations that coalesce around a common theme: 'Labor 2025: Censorship Over Courage' #auspol #AUKUS #Sovereignty www.boganintel.com/p/labor-2025...

Some thoughts on One Nation, middle-aged men, and Barnaby, that only had to be *slightly* reviewed by legal:

Because everyone is talking about it: politicalgadgets.com/indexpenses/...

Albanese's Labor hasn’t just abandoned its values, it has sold off the last scraps of hope people had in them. They talk like Whitlam and govern like Chevron. The real tragedy? Millions still cling to them because the alternative is even worse. #auspol

A Melbourne council is under fire for scrubbing a teenager from its magazine and website after receiving complaints about the child's Palestine-flag necklace www.deepcutnews.com/p/melbourne-...

Spain is coming through. Bravo.

Known as the 'oh don't fucking put that in writing you idiot' directive. #auspol

"Educate and work towards a world where we collectively tax/eat this violent depraved class of sick fuck overlord out of existence. Only then will we all be free, from every river to every sea." Dave-motherfucking-Milner, harnessing the rage of the zeitgeist. #auspol

I understand that Australia once had a national anti-corruption body that might have been able to deal with this. But they got too preoccupied with being investigated themselves for the Commissioner's questionable behaviour. #Nauru #auspol

This is quite an investigation into ARC’s proposed restructure & job cuts by @jennaprice.bsky.social. You know you’ve botched your “review” when several staff complain to a Senator! ARC also ran a witch hunt to find people who might’ve “leaked”. Ugly stuff.

Agreed.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

What the actual fuck?! #auspol

Dear Lord. Centrelink says 144 different parts of its system have been operating unlawfully or erroneously. This scandal of 44k overpaid debts is just ONE of the 144 issues they say they've identified. The welfare system is in complete crisis & disarray

Nesting offences. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Jeremy Corbyn calls Zarah Sultana

These are the sorts of demands aren't utopian. They're realist survivalist minimalism. #auspol #SundayShot

The Age and Sydney Morning Herald have scrubbed references to Gaza and Palestine from their version of a Walkleys speech given by Kerry O’Brien last week.

A well-deserved third #Walkleys Award for cartoons to David Pope. #GazaGenocide

I’ve noticed Super funds have pivoted from “you can grow your retirement fund” to “how will you manage your retirement”. They know no one under sixty has funds to grow. They know this because they have managed the economy to do this. They’ll steal profits where they can and move on. #auspol

The age of generative AI is truly the age of people just casually, with zero shame, discussing on public forums how thinkie hurtie bwainie.

If you weren't already convinced of what complict scum our entire political class is

Just thinking about the profound impact on our lives that the craven, selfish, petty choices made by ‘access journalists’ has had. Never working again is the bare minimum of accountability.
