What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I hope you realize you're watching Nazi Germany in this century.

Vale, Patricia Routeledge and thank you for the laughs! www.youtube.com/shorts/O9QqU...

My latest article in The Shot "The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club" #pffft theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

This week marks 40 years since The Handmaid’s Tale was published. Still chilling. Still relevant. Still a phenomenon. Here’s why → thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l...

Here’s a fun one @erinbiba.bsky.social

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Agree with brother Paul…… Exclusive: Reintroducing tribunal fees would be ‘a gift for bad bosses’, says TUC chief Paul Nowak @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

At least 13 boats from the Flotilla have been intercepted and boarded by Israel in International waters (this is a crime). Greta Thunberg and other humanitarian advocates have been taken into custody. (It's actually kidnapping). The remaining boats sail on. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

A leaked email shows a plan for Gaza to be managed, as an investment holding, by a board of billionaires. The proposal was drafted by the Tony Blair institute for global change, a think tank headed up by the former (war-criminal) PM of the UK. I have no words. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Vale and thank you, Jane Goodall. Her observations and subsequent magazine and documentary appearances in the 60s transformed how the world perceived not only humans' closest living biological relatives but also the emotional and social complexity of all animals... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

If you haven't read Eric's book yet, you should. And definitely follow @ericmgarcia.bsky.social for incisive coverage of national politics:

All eyes on the flotilla.

Australia’s poor disclosure practices mean we don’t know how much money industry groups are paying PR companies in Australia But we do know PR companies are creating misinformation campaigns and astroturfing groups such as Australians for Natural Gas, self described as a non-government organisation

Will be interesting to see if this leads to a test case for new doxxing laws. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

For the people of Tuvalu, climate change isn't a distant threat. The whole country could disappear below rising sea levels within decades. But its people are fighting to save their home and their future. @stephenlongaus.bsky.social #auspol

We've launched a new documentary highlighting the devastating impact of climate change on the Pacific Island nation of Tuvalu. Save Tuvalu, Save the World is presented by Walkley Award-winning journalist and former ABC Four Corners reporter @stephenlongaus.bsky.social. #auspol Watch ⤵️

Oh, thank Dog we're getting more "deeply concerned" from our failed "leaders." We have a navy, don't we @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social? Which you could have sent MONTHS AGO to END THE SEIGE? Which Francesca Albanese BEGGED YOU TO DO? #auspol #FFS #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

The “defective” payment cancellations have renewed calls for the government to end mutual obligation requirements for welfare recipients.

Once again, this perfect @zeboydgames.bsky.social post comes to mind:

No stars- my cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Babet identified the charity, VMIAC, as the potential workplace of Grace*, who was accused of celebrating Kirk’s death. The senator urged his followers to contact the organisation and push for Grace to be sacked. Grace had left the charity a year ago. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

More than just a site, it’s a graveyard. 😡🖤💛💔

Newly released documents, finally brought to light after a four-year Freedom of Information (FOI) battle, reveal that Scott Morrison was, according to the Remuneration Tribunal, overpaid by up to $212,000 in a “handshake” severance deal designed to facilitate his swift and quiet exit.

"in a bitter twist of irony, the architect of the pernicious #Robodebt scheme was himself the beneficiary of a massive, secret overpayment when sacked as managing director of Tourism Australia in 2006." Great investigative work from @jommytee.bsky.social. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/brawl-over-s...

"Woodside responded this was “not technically feasible”. It said the conditions were an “effective refusal” of the development that would lead to the “cessation of business as usual operations” at the end of 2030" If you're WoodCIDE & throw tantrums the @albomp.bsky.social govt will give in

Australia has used the money of all taxpayers to further advantage some of their children, and further disadvantage others …this country has used that money to create the very thing public education was originally designed to break down: a class system www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21678/...

All the key economic data supported another interest rate cut, which would have given them much-needed relief after three years of pain. @grogsgamut.bsky.social describes the decision as “very cruel”, ensuring more pain for those struggling with high mortgage repayments and more job losses. #auspol

Some TBI staff – including a number who left in recent years because of Ellison’s influence – say the cash injection has produced a culture that is dominated by a form of AI boosterism, and which, as they see it, amounts to lobbying for Oracle.

Fascinating and important piece from @petergeoghegan.bsky.social & @maybulman.bsky.social on the Tony Blair Institute. "while ... Policy Exchange and the Institute of Public Policy Research had incomes of £4.3m in 2023-24, TBI’s turnover in 2023 was $145.3m." (!) www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

For those who don’t get the level of fuckery please google Shoalhaven Council and then google Andrew Constance. This is pure chaos.

Ehsan Dehghan wrote his phD thesis on how antagonistic communities reposted each other during the Twitter campaign against Robodebt: the left and right formed a star-shaped network, working together to fight Robodebt. See page 197 eprints.qut.edu.au/174604/1/Ehs...
