The scenes of international activists being assaulted and humiliated by Israel demonstrate how little respect the genocidal state has for international law. Imagine what Israel is capable of doing to Palestinians when the cameras are off. Everybody with a conscience must stand against this BARBARISM

Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

The demonstration saw dozens of distressed millionaires waving handmade signs reading “HOW MANY INVESTMENT PROPERTIES IS ENOUGH? LET THE MARKET DECIDE” and “FIRST THEY CAME FOR OUR DISCRETIONARY TRUSTS”. theshovel.com.au/2026/05/21/f...

As wrong as ridiculous as it should be, it needs the people responsible for preventing it happen to live up to their responsibility

Trump’s theft of nearly $2 billion from the Treasury raises eyebrows in some liberal circles

BREAKING: Thomas Massie loses his primary election. Massie was the staunchest GOP advocate to release the Epstein Files & to stop funding Netanyahu. Now he’s out of Congress. GOP declares itself a pro PDFile pro Genocide and anti campaign finance reform party. We all suffer from this corruption.

The fact that UTS is even considering defunding 2SER-FM, & contemplating its demise, looks even more absurd when you read about community radio's massive benefits. theconversation.com/community-ra...

EnergyAustralia has formally withdrawn from the Climate Active carbon neutral certification program. They were, by far, the largest participant in the scheme, representing something like 25% of offsets claimed under the scheme.

Everything is fine.

There’s a glaring historical inaccuracy in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film of The Odyssey: they didn’t have cameras back then. Theatres should have a blank screen and an old man reading out the script

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

Budget 2026 begins shifting Australia’s tax system away from rewarding leveraged property investment and toward greater intergenerational fairness, Aruna Sathanapally and Matthew Bowes write. #auspol #Budget2026 #housing

As a migrant with permanent residency who has lived, studied, worked, paid taxes, & contributed to Australia for ~30 years, I say fuck you very much, Angus Taylor (long-time PRs have reasons for not being able to take up citizenship—painting PRs as somehow lesser or 2nd class is odious)

I think we need more supporters of Northern Premier League football teams in positions of power and influence. I'd also like to coincidentally point out that Lancaster City did the double over Ashton United last season...

More than 29 million gallons of unbilled water flowed to Quality Technology Services’ data center campus under development in Fayetteville, Georgia, after two industrial-scale hookups went unaccounted for. ground.news/article/data...

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

Labour will die if there isn’t a radical change in direction. That means standing up to markets, investing in our hospitals & schools not weapons, and ending the attacks on migrants. My Guardian piece ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Radio host: This is why you're the greatest president of all time and the most interesting human being that God ever created. I swear to God you're a genius. I love you. Trump: Yeah, you mentioned AM radio, and I guess they want to take it off cars or something? Why are they doing that? Tell me.

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.

In 18 years of closely watching federal budgets, I've never seen a budget measure with this level of social spending cuts (not even in Joe Hockey's 2014 budget). $36b in NDIS cuts over the forward estimates

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Sorry Gianni but this lack of regulation of ticket re-sales is yet another reason why the USA should never have been allowed to host the FIFA World Cup www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Kakistocracy at its kakiest

cheat codes for the normies (cheeky soda refills, “service” pets on airplanes, sharing netflix logins) must be strangled for the moral fiber of the country. cheat codes for the rich (no taxes on a billion dollars; buying a policy, a judge, a whole supreme court) is an immutable part of the system.

Marco Rubio explains that the Trump administration's goal now is merely to reopen the Strait of Hormuz -- the prevailing state of affairs before Trump launched his pointless war

This is catastrophic and absurd, but what else can we possibly expect when the project of protecting life and future generation from climate impacts has been actively discarded, including by organisations that have the word "climate" in their name? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Elon Musk settled the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's civil lawsuit accusing the world's richest person of waiting too long in 2022 to disclose his initial purchases of Twitter, now known as X.

Trump is shitposting slop while his guests wait for him to show up. He's not waylaid in meetings or trying to solve some problem, he's just self-soothing by posting brainrot. Imagine the lack of dignity it takes to just sit there and wait for him to get offline.
