Conservative media is going to be so bloody tedious about Mamdani, aren’t they?

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

The thing about Mamdani that makes me happy is that he is ambitious. I would much rather we have ambitious politicians who don’t necessarily meet all their goals, than unambitious politicians who also almost always don’t meet all their goals, lol. Shoot for the moon, etc.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Every three or four years we publish an article titled “Are tiny homes the solution to Australia’s housing crisis?” and every time the answer is “No ❤️”

Can't believe we're already at the 'year in review' stage of the year. But the Shonky Awards are always a good reminder of why Choice is so great. www.choice.com.au/shonky-award...

If you can’t think of anything good to say about Dick Cheney then don’t worry as we’re all having trouble trying to

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Microsoft if I needed your help I would ask for it

I sometimes wonder if a single person has ever done more harm to global society than Rupert Murdoch.

I can't tell if the algorithm is just constantly feeding me rage-bait, or if the state of public discourse has actually gone down the drain. Maybe a bit of both...

"People like Merrick Garland think that they’re eschewing politics. The reality is the opposite: The careful avoidance of anything that appears political is itself a political act. It is a performance, intended to convey to your audience that you are neutral and unbiased. It’s institutional PR."

This makes me absolutely incandescent

perfect optics event to hold right as 40 million americans will increasingly struggle to get food with SNAP benefits expiring

Just cut my nails. Now we wait until I have to peel a label off something in the next 24hrs. It is inevitable.

I am just so curious as to how this happened! I think it's easy to blame the QCAA, but I had a look and all the communication/curriculum documents are pretty clear. So interesting from a school leadership/administration perspective. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Who knew witnessing a murder could make you laugh

I often think about how I didn't realise I had tinnitus until I saw Baby Driver, because I just thought that's what silence sounded like.

Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.

Changing sheets: Urgh, awful, the worst thing. Sleeping in a bed with fresh sheets: Mmmm yes, amazing, the best thing.

Experts predict that by 2026, 100% of US government spending will go towards the construction of visual metaphors for the US government

My favourite thing is when someone edits their Facebook comment to try and manufacture a 'gotcha' moment, but they're so tech-illiterate they don't realise that other people can see the edit history.

Wait, is it true that in the US you don't actually have to be a teacher to be a substitute teacher? They'll just, like, hire anyone?

Did you know that Emerge Australia has a range of position statements on critical matters that relate to various issues surrounding #MECFS and #longCOVID in Australia? You can find our more here: zurl.co/ms4si#MECFS#longCOVID#myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicfatiguesyndrome

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens. Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies. This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes. When govts want to do something, they do it. When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse. No one here should fall for it

Lmao

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Remember when they lost their minds at “deplorables”

Man what I wouldn’t give to see how historians contextualize this in a hundred years

My super modern regulatory plan is that any entity named for a thing from Tolkien has to publicly explain why Tolkien wouldn’t immediately throw it into Mount Doom

a good night's sleep in the Deadly Premonition bed could fix me

I have few online fears like the thought of accidentally upsetting Menswear Derek

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior. To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also. Sick.

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents? I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times. This code is both cruel and unworkable. Please write to your MP.

I beat Silksong, which I think is a pretty good achievement given how much brain fog has been going on in this skull lately.

Please keep making podcasts about how democrats need to stop being so condescending about red states

This is a real video of a journalist in Chicago being arrested.

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

This is AI.
