277 000 kids were added to the demographic of ' in poverty' but we are going to pay tto house troops for a foriegn power currently murdering its own citizens in the streets? They are taking the piss. We just gave them 3 billion dollars and we are NEVER getting those subs.

one of the less-obvious things you lose with book bans and censorship is how many kids bored by English class first fall in love with reading due to the sheer exhilaration of getting away with something dangerous by checking a Grown-Up Book out of the library and realizing books can be Like That™️

I could scarcely imagine a more cursed assortment of words

ICE agents think they look cool and tough but they actually look like this:

can you image an arts festival not guided by a real estate agent and an airport manager? makes me sick just to think about

I think we should all remember the Adelaide Festival fiasco next time white nationalists try to tell us that muslim and Asian migrants are trying to destroy our country’s institutions.

I say ‘hokay’ in that tone at least once a week.

The Adelaide Festival board's decision to cancel the appearance of Palestinian-Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah from this year's Adelaide Writers' Week has prompted further fallout, with three board members stepping down.

american liberals are fine with millions of deportations as long as they happen quietly and the police don't hurt any white people. proud of it, really

I am begging the Americans on TikTok yelling that ICE will be established in Australia next to please get a grip

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump. Keith Porter was a Black man killed by ICE on New Years Eve. Silverio Gonzalez was an undocumented immigrant killed in Franklin Park. Marimar Martinez was shot 5 times in Chicago & survived. No one is safe.

The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

it sucks to watch the votes for one nation ticking up to scarily competitive levels while the greens stay pretty much the same as always. are we really going to keep on making the same obvious mistakes forever?

There’s a reason it’s ACAB and not CAB Except Those Who Were Trained Better

A healthy cultural institution, that brings money to the state, employs people, fills hotels - detonated - because a small pressure group felt threatened. One really can't....well done everyone. What shall we ruin next?

The attackers were not even Palestinian. And even if they were, it still would not be grounds for removing Randa Abdel-Fattah from the Adelaide Writers Festival lineup.

Listening to the cricket while I’m working and fuck me are the ads for Juniper really fucking annoying! Miss me with this weight loss bullshit!

The gasp-laugh I made at this is something I couldn’t reproduce if I tried

Been a good day of cricket today. With good being, like you know, test cricket like cricket.

Cannot reiterate this strenuously enough: heatwaves are a public health crisis. They kill. Take action to protect yourself

Libraries. Libraries are the best places. Be nice and kind to everyone and you can stay all day out of the heat. Bring your laptop, phone and chargers, bring snacks and friends

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

I swear @albomp.bsky.social must be a jellyfish considering he never does anything requiring a spine.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

"They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor" - Tupac Shakur 1993

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

This is just embarrassing.

Gen AI isn’t a crystal ball. It’s not the word of god in a machine. It’s flawed code, creating ever more broken responses

NEW: For the first time since Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, Palestinian Christians at Gaza City's Holy Family Church lit their Christmas tree. Unicorn Riot heard from two young attendees of Christmas services in the nearly destroyed Old City of the Gaza Strip's Gaza City.

[watching final destination movies] “and tony todd, who did NOT die”

I cannot emphasise enough how Australia's political and media class are destined to enact the worst outcomes (authoritarianism, race hate, violent suppression) to the Bondi terror attacks, even as the broad population generally supports the least-bad outcomes (community-building, gun control etc)

Oh well at least we already retained the Ashes and won the series but I still don’t like losing to this mob no matter the situation. Message to Melburnians: stay away from the cbd and inner suburbs like Richmond tonight. The Poms will be out and about. Could get messy. 🏏 #Ashes

Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union could do HEAT, but Pacino and De Niro couldn't do BRING IT ON.

Nah that bounced. FMD #Ashes

FUCK #Ashes

I love cricket

just feeling more and more like it’s journalistic malpractice not to lead with the fact that the instructor in question is trans

"To celebrate on a factually inaccurate day would be ridiculous." From the archive: chaser.com.au/general-news...

you there boy, what bullshit is this

Liberals: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good Me: yeah fair ok, show me the good Liberals: this isn't the time for fucking purity tests you little shit

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

If you got a problem, yo, I'll solvent, check out the gunk, isopropyl dissolves it
