Got my work Christmas party tonight. Can't wait to vulgar roast them with Grok AI.

"What sort of monster makes casinos pay tax and bans them from money laundering?" chaser.com.au/business/bil...

Times have been tough in this Afghani town ever since the woke mob shut down the old poppy seed factory. So when Vladimir Putin promised to pay everyone to create MAGA Twitter accounts, they finally had something to cheer about again. Then Twitter turned on its new public location feature.

Re X's new location and verification info: "But it’s important to keep in mind who you’re trusting when you cite X as a source. You’re putting your faith in the same guy who’s currently listed as being verified since 3000 BCE."

If RFK issued a rule forbidding surgeons from using antiseptic instrument cleaners... well yeah I guess that would be "challenging orthodoxy." Another phrase is "killing people."

Ahem, Australian reporters? This thread is a great story!

TFW you have a cockroach on your carse. #Ashes #TheAshes #Cricket 🏏

Much like Monty Panesar on Mastermind, England had no answers to Mitch Starc in that opening session. #Ashes 🏏

Millennials aren't lazy, Boomers aren't selfish, Gen Z aren't snowflakes. Turns out every generation acts roughly the same at each age. Who knew?

Extremely bold call, from old "Minty" Panasar, given he admitted to repeatedly cheating in his own autobiography. #TheAshes #Cricket 🏏

My keen knowledge of statistics tells me these feet are merely suffering from survivorship bias.

Inflation isn’t all the same. When prices rise because demand is strong, firms earn more and can raise wages. With tariff-driven inflation, firms face higher costs, not higher revenues—so prices go up but paychecks don’t. Same pain, less gain.

Oh so the Liberal party is going to 'target' Australia's fourth biggest export industry. How wonderful. #Auspol

The former Liberal prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says his party’s decision to dump a net zero emissions target shows it “does not take climate change seriously”, accusing the opposition of “a Trumpian campaign against renewables”.’ #auspol Libs Go Full NAT-light www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is a very good article on THAT study. www.bbc.com/news/article...

So introducing tariffs doesn't increase prices, but removing them decreases prices. Make it make sense.

We have shipwrecks in Iceland that are less brittle than Mark Wood.

Barnaby Joyce just went on television to congratulate the Liberals. That tells you all you need to know about the modern Liberal Party.

There is nothing more gutless on the entire planet than the remaining moderates in the Liberal Party of Australia. #Auspol

The Nobel committee should immediately announce a prize for soccer.

Today we announce Solar Sharer.  A plan to share the excess solar energy our nation generates to provide every Australia with free power for at least 3 hours during the day.

"Keeping the coalition together" is a more important objective than preventing bushfires, economic pain and environmental damage in Australia? #Auspol

Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

We live in the stupidest of times #auspol

Sussan Ley, whose modified name happens to contain the same letter combination as Hitler’s police force, has tried to make the tenuous case that the Prime Minister wearing a Joy Division t-shirt is antisemitic.

That’s no ballroom…

Lol Roy Morgan awarded YouTube the most trusted social media brand for Australians. It's the first time it's been awarded because it's the first time a social media brand has had a positive net trust score.

Donald Trump's wildly inappropriate reaction to this (quite impressive) piece of Reaganite advertising ought to cause so many people to view the ad he doesn't want them to see that we'll have to rename the Streisand Effect the Ontario Effect.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
