ABC once again letting us know the news that is crucial to understanding Australia today

I rode my bike for 5 hours on the weekend. Went to the gym for 1 hour today. I also bobbed down to look at something on a low shelf. Guess which one hurt my knee

Hate capital and capitalism all you want but if you try to extol the virtues of the USSR, I'm going to write you off as a crank.

My thought when I watch any US sport

Is this TPUSA thing being carried by any mainstream network? If not, why is it being boosted?

If I had the talent to write fiction, I would give it a go. I don't though. That's why I leaned towards researching and writing history.

What gets me is that, considering its reputation as the weird murder capital, how has Adelaide not had more genre stories (Snowtown aside)?

I conducted an experiment on what Tiktok and YouTube recommends when not logged in on the app. Given the social media ban only covers accounts, hard not to see this could be the experience for teens in Australia come December. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Is this an everywhere, all at once thing or will it start in Kiribati and roll around from there?

What under-16s may see under Australia's social media ban - scrolling shortform videos while logged out of YouTube and TikTok quickly leads to gambling, violent and far-right content, reports @joshtaylor.bsky.social

Just saw someone advocate for the return of 20-24 episode series. Putting aside the possibility they are a TV writer or director, it is such an American complaint. The rest of us have had more limited series for a long time.

Aaron’s summary does not do justice to the word salad here

I don’t think Ben realises how funny this quote is

So, it seems there are some pleading rules in the US

they're going to keep moving closer to their webcams until something is done

Even framing what Kimmel did as a mistake is accepting Trump's propaganda

Ezra Klein justifying his position to Ross Douthat. This is all about hate clicks. It's a double-down. I need to make a sign to tap about hate clicks.

As a white guy, white guy solidarity shouldn't surprise me but it does.

“Hey Waleed, can you write something so stupidly centrist that we get hate clicks from all sides?” “I’ve got you, ed.”

I was early to the Waleed Aly sceptic society. I welcome new members

You can't be a centrist under a fascist regime. You're either fighting, or facilitating. There's no secret third thing. Except dead, I suppose.

Remember folks, hate clicks are still clicks

I love how the government decided we won't go above 70% emission reduction. It always helps to put a ceiling on ambition, I find.

It looks like we need to pirate Andor if we want to watch it. Luthen would approve.

4 hours later and I almost (but not quite) have full feeling back.

Who knew the next step would be a step backwards?

excited for this trend to continue when 30 years from now Nick Fuentes takes a principled stance against the policies of President Triple Hitler, a clone containing the souls of three Hitlers in a single body

That's enough internet for today. What are you waiting for? escapecollective.com/you-should-g...

Someone just sent me a YouTube which YT automatically translated. The translation sucks. There is no intonation. Sentences run-on. It is so very distracting.

Over 2 hours later and I still have no feeling in one half of my chin

The 'you couldn't make that movie/show today' claims just took a wild turn, didn't they?

You will be shocked to learn that not one of the free speech warriors involved in the Twitter Files nonsense has tweeted about the Kimmel story. Taibbi takes the cake, though. After the Kimmel story broke, he tweeted about the dire government threat to free speech outlined in the ... Twitter Files.

Yeah, the WiFi, that's it

Having to eat lunch with a numb lower mouth due to dental appointment and needing to leave time for lunch to settle before riding home is not ideal. Related: my dentist uses way too much anaesthesia.

Every day something new happens in the US that is a direct example of a dictator suppressing free speech and then... life just continues... Every day a historian is like "Y'all should really look into how Hitler came into power", lol

One thing is certain: All those mergers have increased the efficiency of censorship and authoritarian control. #Satire

We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of this Tweet. I feel like I should buy it a birthday cake.

This should be a lesson that capital will not be your ally in any fight against fascism

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

soo... how long do we figure until folks start wearing armbands? gotta show your loyalty to the regime somehow!

What region of the US does it have to be to be ‘cancel culture’? It has to be somewhere in New England or the PNW, right?

"The US government is murdering people, ha ha ha!" This is the only legal joke now

How is free speech going in the US?

It is wild to be on this site to see Kirby (the video game character, not the former HCA judge) arguing the case for Stalin

Drew has outdone himself

Reading (parts of) this reinforces the merits of Australian-style pleading

Yeah, I’m not gonna spend three minutes watching some guy tint a window. …three minutes later… “Whoa”
