‘The politics of grievance that has emerged is instead being owned and operated by Pauline Hanson almost exclusively, and that needs to be challenged’ #auspol thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Community backlash kills WA data centre ia.acs.org.au/article/2026...

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

“Honesty is not a well Pauline Hanson drinks from. Never has Australian politics seen such an endless, shameless bullshitter.” #auspol

Just so you know: Australia is not the US. They are two different countries quite distant from each other.

This is the money paragraph for me.

I know you're all still a bit worried about the gas companies, so let's check on how they're going. Afterall the ASX200 fell today so much be carnage for the gas giants

End of Day 2! We'll be back next weekend to finish the carpets 💪🏠

Lol 😂😂😂 Might be a tad left, hey 💁‍♀️

"This budget is one of the most disastrous for social services in modern political memory. The cuts to the NDIS, only compounded by the ongoing uncertainty, will reverberate for years."

Omg I'm sooo sore today 😵 And I'm not unfit - I horseride once a weel and ride my bike four to five days a week! How do tradies do this every day?? 😂 Today will be fun as we do more of the same re: carpets 😂

This is brilliant...... “Tommy Robinson’s far right march has unwittingly raised over £100k for refugees. “Over 2,000 of you have chipped in to make tomorrow’s far right march the biggest sponsored walk for refugees EVER.”

Removing the headphone jack on phones was such a violation of the social contract

Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century) aeon.co/essays/young...

I teach Powell's speech in my Gender and Race after the Hitler class and students are visibly disgusted when they read it. I will continue to teach it because the need to know that postwar Europe was not antiracist or inclusive.

It's settlement day!!! 🎉🎉🎉 🏠🏠🏠 @alexburchmore.bsky.social

Israel is destroying homes in Lebanon, Syria and Iran as well as in Palestinian territories. Land grabs all over.

"MAGA IS THE LAST BREATH OF THE CONFEDERACY" made me catch my breath. God bless this man.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Where’s the fury about rightwing antisemitism? The newspapers that call out leftwing antisemitism publish antisemitic cartoons and champion politicians with a record of antisemitic statements. So who is holding *them* to account? This week’s column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges …”

😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭 Not my broke 20 yo ass!

Wrote a new article about how depressing and broken journalism is and how the devil wears prada sequel reminded me of this, for my pals at @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remember a few months ago when “AI uses too much water” was broadly derided as ignorant and false? They can literally steal water and not even pay a fine, while residents are told to cut back. It’s an industry built on lawlessness.

I fear we are underestimating the deskilling AI is forcing upon us all and young people in particular

The last three years of marking in particular make me extremely concerned about what this means not just for (higher) education but for democracy more generally as the work required for developing critical skills and learning become increasingly shunned and/or the guarded domain of the privilege few

madness

Trump Tower planned for Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia scrapped. Good. #USA #Australia

Coalition could cut the oxygen to One Nation by not making the racism Olympics a thing but for the small matter of the Coalition loving to do racisms at every opportunity

My daughter's pithy summation: "Covid reminded people they lived in a society; and they hated it."

This is not a podcast, this is just every random selfish asshole on Twitter who was whining about not being able to go to the bar, or restaurant because the thought of having to think about other people horrified them

This is actually true, imo. And also, COVID reminded people of their own vulnerability, the porosity of their own skins and bodies, their mortality and they HATED it. They still hate it. Thats why they scream about masks, about COVID and any reminder of that vulnerability.

sorry to add to the discourse but I think the "everyone should have stayed on twitter" mindset is at least partially based on the misapprehension that 1) arguing on the internet is praxis and 2) leftists are obligated to spend their time doing this

#pollshapedobject Daily Telegraph never learns - claiming an unscientific opt-in of its own wildly skewed readerbase is a "poll". It's time to ban this nonsense to save such papers from embarrassing themselves.

I’m loving all the rich people tears #auspol #budget

.... are the Daily Telegraph ok?? 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥 #AusPol #Budget2026

The budget contains no significant policy to move away from fossil fuel dependency. Between the lack of new support for electric transport and the apparent cut to DCCEEW, seems to be business as usual. Compare: the French announced €10bn euro a year to electrify the economy.
