The idea that we need to deport 100 million people - almost one out of every three Americans! - was, a year ago, a deranged claim you’d hear from neo-Nazis to give themselves permission for limitless mass violence. Now it’s coming directly from this horrific agency’s horrific press office

Ron Asheton celebrates the new year.

I was doing a good job of looking after myself better, then the flu wiped out my entire Xmas break and now I’m comfort eating a packet of biscuits before going back to work

Buyer - makes me an offer on marketplace Me - accepts, asks when they’d like to pick up Buyer - … … …

This is the greatest Xmas cover I’ve ever heard or seen m.youtube.com/watch?v=22O8...

The fact that This Is Spinal Tap and its sequel, The End Continues, were the first and last films Rob Reiner made is enough to make me cry by itself. The first was revolutionary, the last merely excellent, but they both had the enormous heart and nub of truth that characterised all his best films

No problem unfollowing a few people who opened their mouths before engaging their brains last night

Now here is a man with no friends.

State funeral. My @smh cartoon.

It's not even New Year and the scoldings have begun www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Forgot to post this yesterday, a review of Life in One Chord, a new doco on the brilliant Shayne Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer, DoubleHappys and more). Hopefully more Oz screenings TBC; Shayne's in the country for a couple of dates www.theguardian.com/music/2025/d...

This is a terrible, terrible shock to hear. Graeme was an influential teacher and mentor at the University of Queensland and a giant in his field. He left a huge imprint on me

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

On par with @birmo.bsky.social’s legendary obituary for Joh Bjelke-Petersen

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

I remember back in the late '90s -- when magazine writers were still getting big book and movie deals -- an editor of mine who'd worked with a bunch of them sighing and saying, "The story no one will ever publish is the exposé of which famous writers can't actually write at all."

This should be a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social headline

I saw Deliver Me From Nowhere and Jeremy Allen White’s head was tilted to one side so far I kept waiting for it to fall off #Bruce

The Albanese government’s nature reforms would change biodiversity offsets policy, including by setting up a “restoration contributions” fund. Guardian Australia reporting exposed major failures with a similar scheme in NSW. Experts are warning the federal plan could repeat those mistakes

It's written like "post-liberalism" has the momentum of a runaway freight train, when all that's happened is a fracturing of the vote to One Nation and a few sooks quitting or being sacked from the opposition front bench whiteanting a weak leader. No sign of a Labor voter anywhere falling for this.

Without grievance, they are nothing

Giving the Nazis days of nation-wide headline media coverage every time they do a ten minute photo op is not a good way to get them to stop doing photo ops.

How much more Goth could Mothica be? The answer is none. None more Goth www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8c0...

Since Nazis now feel normel enough to show their faces, how about all media editors instruct snappers to zoom in on them instead of depicting looking scawy in their all blacks

There’s only one piece of writing you need to read on the 50th anniversary of Horses, and it’s this one by the incredible jennpelly.bsky.social 🐎 pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Please do not encourage the PM to wear a 30-Odd Foot of Grunts t-shirt

Me (no byline) with one of my favourite, albeit saddest Queensland stories. Would really love an extra few thousand words to do full justice to it while the main players are still around to tell the tale. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The words “pusillanimous” and “captured” come to mind “Norway has imposed a 56% "special tax" for oil & gas companies, alongside a 22% corporate tax rate. The proceeds..have been reinvested in its sovereign wealth fund, which is now the largest in the world” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

These days, you can't even speak in support of white nationalism at a Nazi-organised rally and later urge support for a neo-Nazi political party without the politically-correct woke brigade siezing the opportunity to portray you as a Nazi sympathiser.

Thought I’d re-up my piece on this perfect day as the Saints (73-78) prepare to embark on a national, then international tour. I’m dead proud of it, if I do say so myself www.patreon.com/posts/saints...

opening a new front in the (ahem) Sub-culture wars I’ll see myself out

Anyway, I look forward to the PM wearing a Hard-Ons T-shirt for Ausmusic T-shirt day on 27 November. I believe he's a fan.

The tightly contained (and no doubt legally constrained) rage in this piece by @chriswallace.bsky.social is something to behold, especially the last two pars ($) www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

If at first you don’t succeed … fail, fail again

I had an attack of oversharing and wrote about how I came to be with @elsiegee.bsky.social - hopefully not TMI www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

This place needs to increase the ratio of shitposting to doomposting.
