Beth Rigby: "Has the US violated international law?" Keir Starmer: "Intl law is really important..." "You're not going to say whether they have or they havn't?" "I'm going to be clear that I believe in intl law, I've long been an advocate of intl law"

New Chris Lilley character looks shit.

Every major free speech org has said the IHRA definition suppresses constitutionally protected speech. Every major human rights group has said it suppresses legitimate advocacy. The scandal is that Adams adopted the definition, not that Mamdani rejected it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/n...

Fascinated by dipshits lining up to call for a Royal Commission into Bondi before the criminal case has even made it through the courts. Just a startling misunderstanding of how anything works.

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

When I said I wanted to see John Howard in a box, I didn't mean commentary box.

Starmer is happy to let anti genocide protesters who are detained without charge die of starvation and you think he gives a shit that our special relationship partners commited a war crime?

I best get myself to sleep before this fucked-up day gets any worse. I'll just do a quick scan of The Age, though I'm sure nothing else could possibly - oh, there's another open letter calling for a Royal Commission into Bondi, and this one is by sports people, and... Clarko's a signatory. Oh boyyyy

The US attack on Venezuela is rampantly and shamelessly illegal. Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that the US wants to steal Venezuela's resources. This gangsterism, trashing anything left of the 'international order', will pave the way for global violent mayhem.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Chip Le Grand: Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is proof that the Suburban Rail Loop is a disaster.

I assume 130 prominent business people are signing letters as we speak insisting that the US flag be projected on the Sydney Opera House as a sign of solidarity #Caracas

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

Far be it from me to weigh into the murky depths of the Lachie Neale situation, but my interest was piqued by the alleged affair partner having a Mormon background. Some of my extended family are LDS and oh boy, the stories I could tell. I have seen the sexual repression of the church fuck people up

This is a great piece about the right spreading misinformation about London being unsafe, dirty, etc because it's a diverse city that represents many things they hate. You can replace most of the mentions of 'London' with 'Melbourne' and can see the same agenda at play in those that trash our city

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Seether & Chortle —coming this Fall on ABC! One’s a disgraced, comically corrupt ex-Mayor, the other’s a gruff and disgruntled Democratic Socialist Senator, together they make the wackiest buddy cop tandem this side of Tango and Cash.

I finally tried out the Metro Tunnel today. What a game changer! The trip from State Library to Parkville took less than 3 mins, quite different to all the mornings I spent waiting at the tram stop at Melb Central, fighting my way onto a packed tram to crawl up Swanston St to be late to Melb Uni

others: "oh well we can't reverse everything the previous admin did so we have to manage them" Z: "FIRST OF ALL FUCK YOUR EXECUTIVE ORDERS - SECOND OF ALL FUCK LANDLORDS"

My message of hope for 2026: Abolish the monarchy.

With 6.5 hours of this year remaining, I am coming equal first in Celebrity Death Bingo in the group chat. However I have a lot of issues with the person I'm tied with, so I'd really like Netanyahu, Fred Nile or Dave Coulier to die today so I can take my crown.

The dream of a road trip: Me, my partner and my kid listening to sweet tunes and making fun plans for 2026. The reality of a road trip: Me doing an extended soliloquy on why my partner is wrong to have low expectations of the North Melb men in 2026 with detailed critiques of his thoughtcrime.

I've accidentally become hyper-focused on finishing a 1000-piece puzzle of a map of Melbourne. I am so locked on that yesterday I went to the beach and a carnival with my partner, kid and extended family and I kept thinking about the puzzle and talking about the puzzle. I am incredibly uncool.

One of my favourite things about the end of year is watching Mitch McTaggart brutally but very fairly recapping the year on Aus TV. I've just watched the 2025 edition and it might be the best one yet. His critique of Aus TV news covering nazis is flawless. Do yourself a favour!

“He was killed by an Israeli sniper whilst he ate a watermelon in the backyard of his Marrickville home. Premier Minns told media that such extremist behaviour would always be met with lethal force.”

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

If First Nations peoples don’t deserve a special voice, neither do Zionist lobby groups.

Chris Minns doing fascism in the week between Christmas and new years is very unbecoming. Way to harsh our quietest week of the year buzz. I'm just trying to binge a TV series and do a puzzle here and this cunt's only gone and armed a religious "security group". What the fuck man

It’s not a good idea for state governments to arm private militias

Sydney media types gleefully calling Dan Andrews an authoritarian tyrant, and then calmly acquiescing to *whatever this is*

Sydney political media class (2020): "Victoria is overreacting, they've lost all sense of perspective!" Sydney political media class (2025): "Yes, we're establishing state sanctioned sectarian death squads."

I hope you're all having a lovely, relaxing Christmas Eve. My partner and I have wrapped all the presents and now we're watching A Moody Christmas which we do pretty much every year. I love Christmas Eve 😊

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine. They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care. Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression. We know colonialism. Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸

I have just received the best news ever from my partner: our cat is home after two weeks at large!!! She was picked up at Penders Park in Thornbury by the Council which surprised us as this is blocks from us! I never thought I'd see her again. I'm so happy. It's a Christmas miracle

Ah yes Albanese should have done more about hate speech say the LNP. Hold on. I’m being show a video..

obsessed with channel 9 not noticing that their ai slop got their own logo wrong

This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

I'm out of #whamageddon for another year. I got stitched up by the absolute cunts running the joint at Woolworths Radio.

Same bloke who said nothing when neo-Nazis were marching up and down Melbourne during the lockdown protests.

Once we accepted the politicisation of a pandemic to try and knock off a popular Premier ...

I must have a very bad memory b/c I cannot for the life me remember any of these self-serving playactors calling for Scott Morrison's resignation after an Australian man groomed by years of blatant Islamophobia from political and media arenas flew to NZ to murder 51 Muslims. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #auspol #BondiBeach

Our beautiful floofy girl cat is still missing 😞 It's been five days now, which feels like ages, but I've been told this is not a long time for a cat to be missing. She's an indoor cat so I guess she is hiding somewhere scared, although she's also a rescue cat so I hope she still has street smarts 🤞

Alarm set for 3am to go out and look for our beloved cat who has got outside somehow and gone missing like the silly gronk that she is. I'm pretty distraught but hanging in there. Please keep me sane with your hope stories of lost cats coming home and best hacks for finding missing cats

We are *ALL* Tiffany & Nicholas #bbau

I appreciated the range of representations of neurodivergency on this year's #bbau. We saw Conor who was a proud Tourette's advocate, Colin and Vinnie who spoke occasionally about their ADHD, and Holly who only disclosed her ADHD, APD and dyslexia afterwards. All realistic and all valid experiences.

I just had a flashback to the finale of #bbau season 1 in 2001. My sister and I cheered loudly when Ben won. My dad came in from watering the garden and said he heard us cheering, but also heard simultaneous cheering and yelling from houses up and down our suburban street. What a time to be alive.

Wow, this series has been surprising. I wanted Emily to win but I'm ok with Coco winning. I'm happy that we had two women finalists as I think Australian publics of the past have favoured the cheeky young lad archetype over interesting women. Also still love that the right wing dick went first #bbau

Tiffany and Nicholas from the ride get a second shout out from Colin 😆 I have strong feelings about how the OG #bbau would not have been ok with all the contact with members of the public, and yet the ride has provided so many moments of hilarity
