See also UK Labour as a nominally center left party with a leadership firmly to the right of their own voters, and who have absolutely no intention to change. Baffling.

Actually @patrickstokes.com @grugstan.bsky.social I thought of a current example of story telling about an Australian suburb. Bluey.

No matter how much the ABC wants us in Australia to follow this story, even in the US not that many folks do.

I had to rewatch Jim Henson's memorial service to see how people remember a life well lived. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeEz...

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

STEPHEN MILLER: you have no idea what you have awakened. we will save the West. we will turn darkness into light. we will rise like a phoenix from the pit of fire and EVERYONE ELSE AT THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME TABLE: ROLL THE FUCKING DIE ALREADY

someone should edit a video of this with the noise of the squeaky tank from Trump's birthday parade.

Hahahaha incredible

he's spent the last 18 months claiming trans women are a serious risk on women's wards i don't believe a single word he says this is a man who spent the election calling for segregation and who has almost entirely replaced our healthcare with conversion practices based on christian pseudoscience

Something that isn’t clear to me from this story — did he just keep the $50,000?

Well that explains why they had Homan working with Eric Adams. Shared understanding of being excused from corruption. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Damn @carolleonnig.bsky.social with a barn burner of a scoop www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Gotta be hard to do a documentary about a free speech hero where there's none of his speech you want to show.

Thomas Homan, on TV: I'm a big strong guy, roar roar. Also Thomas Homan: I'm a little boy with glasses and it's my birthday and you wouldn't file a lawsuit against a little guy on his birthday? These people are fucking pathetic failures at being a human being.

I don't recall in my reading about 1930s era fascism that they were such whiny little bitches. Fascist clowns only do press releases like this when they're *very* distressed. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...

A press release to beg people to stop criticizing Trump and DHS & ICE agents who are attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping people off the streets, operating concentration camps where members of Congress are not allowed in, and rendering people to foreign lands they've never been to 🤔

Hot news from the festival of incel fascist losers. Cpac is like someone took up the challenge of "it's absolutely not possible to put on something worse than FODI" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Remember not so long ago when too many folks were oooh Abundance what an interesting book. Lol

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Yoda: yeah hi sorry but I didn’t even like this guy before he was evil and the last time I saw him he was killing children Luke: thank you for your wisdom Master Yoda Yoda: no I’m saying it’s bullshit I have to sit on a log with this guy Obi: yeah I wasn’t going to say anything but he murdered me

What a photo

Man I miss The Colbert Report youtu.be/ATxL1dLkPnY?...

This 1934 NYT article about a group of 75 Nazis in New Jersey getting the crap kicked out of them by 1000 “anti-Nazis” is no laughing matter and the writing is not highly entertaining. Please do not laugh or smile while reading this as it is a very serious matter and violence is not funny.

Colbert tells Disney to get fucked in a very Colbert kinda way. youtu.be/HMGD1KCYFOw?...

If you spent even one second of the last decade indulging the free speech claims made by the American right in earnest, I genuinely think you're lacking in intelligence. I do not think you have what it takes to deliver sound commentary on American politics.

I'm trying to remember if the Australian media's coverage of other countries has always been this bad, or it's gotten a lot worse. The ABC's US staff is full of folks who take what's trending on Twitter as a guide. There's a handful of other folks in a few other countries, otherwise nothing

I feel like if you bought an internet connected refrigerator with screens, you deserve this

There are almost no words for how absurd this is. While the Oz Spectator has been a fucking joke for many years ("My Bill" was so stupid that even they unpublished it to give it a massive haircut) the UK version has tried to not be obviously insane.

Richard Marles and the rest of the ALP are continuing to provide billions in payment for this fascist project. Literally this week another $25b

Well. That's a thing.

The recent "we can create AI podcasts for $1, you only need 20 listeners to make the money back from ads" is a fantastic business opportunity for someone. Podcast app that excludes the AI sludge is going to be attractive to consumers and also to folks wanting to buy ads.

I don't think this is right. It's not "don't scare the horses". It's laziness. Nothing Albanese has done has ever shown he's willing to make any effort for anything.

man, i know there are plenty of serious and sober types on here who are skeptical of the great khan, but i think he has some of the best instincts of the entire party right now

Show me "failing to recognise the moment" more perfectly than this collection of stupidity. What if think tank that doesn't think?

Man, that Harper's Letter idiocy has aged like warmed up cat vomit, huh.

Fucking incredible.

The Late Show with Eric Trump.

Enjoy your Trump-approved humor.

"It is unusual for a civics initiative to not include liberals, experts said." It is impossible for the Post to assert anything, no matter how obvious, as fact.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

"comedy is legal again"

Remember that "Abundance" hustler @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social went on the demagogue's show in April to hawk his book. When he says "Can't we all get along" what he means is "Can't rich dudes keep scratching each others' backs as the country burns to the ground?"

that Demsas piece about GOP affirmative action is exactly as bad as you'd think. this is Chait-level shit. this is Conor Friedersdorf quality.

Bill Ackman just posted a huge thing to Twitter about funding a conference for Charlie Kirk and young conservative influencers in the Hamptons and it's all funny but legit lmao at this agenda, he's so fucking obsessed

Lol Tesla's fake robotaxi is asking riders to tip. Comical shit. sfstandard.com/2025/09/15/t...

don jr.'s day just got worse lol

I mean I have better things to do in my life than read his work, but has Ezra Klein any purpose at all? Like, what value does he offer to someone reading his words? "Abundance" was vapid idiocy *at best* Who the fuck pays money to read this bullshit?

Even by the incredibly low standards of Trump's lawsuits the new one against the NYT is fucking hot garbage. Like "refer every one of the lawyers who put their name on this trash to their local bar" level bullshit.
