The AFR Rich List shows a grotesque accumulation of wealth while millions of Australians struggle with the cost of living. There are now 178 billionaires in Australia, 17 more than a year ago. Australia doesn't have a wealth problem. Australia has a wealth distribution problem.

Peter Thiel is heading to his spiritual homeland of Argentina, following in the historical footsteps of thousands of other deeply problematic men with the exact same haircut.

Oh sure… we’re supposed to believe these massive AI data centers are being built to “help humanity”…not centralize power, monitor behavior, and quietly erode personal freedom at industrial scale. Totally normal.

This is nicely put. The machine that subordinates all life to its own algorithm of self-expansion is already operating: It’s called capital. www.newyorker.com/science/anna...

I hope everybody is dressing up for Vincent Price's birthday. #FilmSky

Sickening... 🤮

He needed to find something else to wreck... 🙄

Not even the slightest care for plausibility. PHON and their junior partner The Liberal Party will try the same shit here... 🙄

Having thoroughly trashed the reputation of the organisation by refusing to resign when it first became obvious that he should, Brereton has managed to do even more damage. He lasted until just after the Robodebt findings, too. Shocked I say.

About fkn time... 🙄

The International Court of Justice has decided that the right to strike is protected in a key international Convention, settling a long-running global dispute. But what does this decision mean for Australian workers? Dr Lisa Heap explains. futurework.org.au/news/top-int...

Why are we holding the football world cup in a failed state run by gangsters? Oh yes I forgot, its because FIFA are totally corrupt.

Brilliant! 🤘

#LongRangeSanctions ✊

Absolute fkn scientific vandalism... 🙄

If enacted, the policy would require everyone to align with 'mainstream values', triggering the deportation of the Liberal Party. chaser.com.au/national/mig...

The rise of the machines is not going how the movies made us expect it to...

This gave me chills. Watch.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

...by the quality of their character.

Waiter! Can we have some steak knives? ⚔️

I love and respect this scientist. Carl Sagan answers a question about creation vs evolution.

This is an excellent profile of a Christian nationalist sociopath.

these guys deserve a repost surely youtu.be/VsbUzvuVx-8?...

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone...

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

Here's @boganintel.bsky.social. "The royal commission into the hurt feelings of genocidal psychopaths"

“Gas that is exported from this country should be paid for by the gas companies that export it. "And a 25% gas export tax is the way to go. "Australians deserve a fair return." – Senator David Pocock ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax ➡️ https://theaus.in/4dkPcsp

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Same...

I nominate @nordacious.bsky.social

Albo 'grew up in public housing' Labor govt with a 94-seat super-majority, fails people on Jobkeeper & other income support, AGAIN Choosing to keep people in poverty will result in "avoidable excess mortality"👇 It is social murder. Cruel and unacceptable.

But they kept The Birds away...

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Sourdough Starter = Bread Tamagotchi

This is Zionism #zionism #israel #palestine #arab #occupation #brutality

One wonders at the intelligence of the Australian electorate when they vote for the hatchet-faced woman’s party of grifters as an expression of the interests of the ‘underdog’ when she’s getting flown the world around by a fascist billionaire masquerading as a poet.

JobSeeker is nearly $300 a week below the poverty line. Immiserating people on welfare is utterly immoral and makes it even harder for those who can work to find a job. We're sick of Labor crying poor when the 1% grow their wealth in their sleep. Tax the rich. Raise the rate.

QRP with the doctor you’d trust leading the hantavirus response...

She was appalling, but had some, low, standards... 🙄

Hej @albomp.bsky.social! #RaiseTheFknRate! 🙄

"The Labor government continues to behave as if Trump can be waited out, as if the world can weather this storm and return to normal. The government debases itself on our behalf." @emmashortis.bsky.social #AUKUS #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/u...

The government's vandalism of the Defence, Australian and Labor heritage embodied by Victoria Barracks Melbourne is appalling. Albanese and Marles might want to remember that this was where the Curtain led War Cabinet worked. Philistines...

I have two last wishes: 1: I want my remains scattered around Disneyland 2: I don’t want to be cremated THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Thanks to all the people who said its fine for your pets to sleep on the bed, now my goldfish is fuckn' dead!
