Honestly, moderate Libs, what on earth do you think you can salvage out of the burning wreck that is your old party? www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

lord, give me the strength to endure another week where the media discuss the CGT changes with the intensity of a terrorist attack while a third of the country struggle to afford food

New version of the Australian Democrats about to drop……

This was 1970s Australia. My family would've probably thought of themselves as 'christian', but not in any practising sense, certainly not such that I had any idea what a protestant or catholic was. But, there was no third category according to the education system.

Five-year-old me had an RI teacher demand, "Catholic or protestant?" I said, "I don't know". Their response was, "Protestant!". There were only two groups for RI, and if you were catholic, you would definitely know.

Roger Waters' drag act "Pink Floyd".

It looks like the parasite that I cleaned out of the innards of a fish that I speared once.

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

Did they have the matching Syd Barrett plate there too?

but let's do more articles about rich folks having to pay a tiny bit more of their fair share '‘They’ve taken all my stuff’: councils across Australia threaten homeless people with fines and confiscation of belongings' www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Trump is paying Iran $25,000,000,000 to return things back to the way they were before he started his pointless, lost war to distract from the Epstein inconvenience. He's an "Art of the Deal" genius that way.

It's a cold Sunday in Geelong and we are cooking. I would really like a glass of red wine to go with this activity, but the cooking is only cupcakes.

Always thought that you would need an intellect involved (both the captive and the captor) for anyone to be "intellectually captured".

lol 5yos panicking about climate change and they* want to stop teaching kids science. Dear reader, kids start school at about 5. Schools aren’t indoctrinating kids w/ climate dread, it’s happening way before that. PS closing your eyes doesn’t make climate change go away. *IPA

tell me again about asset owner feelings for their massive subsidies we give them to accumulate yet more wealth. What other priorities could there possibly be. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Each detail somehow more perfect. $1.4 million in. The bank account down to 21 cents. A gold bullion firm getting stiffed. Bankruptcies and liquidations. Nigel Farage. No insurance. Links to an ex-Liberal staffer / pornographer.

this racism party content is remarkably well timed for the Sunday politics show. You know the one where corporate journalists breathlessly speculate and effortlessly build a sense of relatability and excitement and legitimacy around the racism party. And blame anti-racists for their efforts, natch.

Griftception - all the way down 🤣 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Public Increasingly Unsure Which Ongoing Disaster They’re Supposed To Be Ignoring

No, he really, really doesn't.

Still yet to hear any commentary how the government’s tax changes are going to affect my investment strategy (smelting aluminium in my backyard because the solar feed-in tariff dropped to 5c/kWh)

SBS interviewing an octopus.

I love how the internet just gives you 24/7 access to the worst possible opinions

Got given a bottle of sparkling white. Looked it up online and one review calls it "bubbly goon". Google thinks it's a red wine. Can't wait.

Nordacious nailed it. #auspol #zionism = #racism

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

Remembering time as an undergrad when we had a heatsink prac. Had to estimate sink temperature using theory, and measure it in practice and compare. Box full of all sorts of complicated extruded aluminium sections with a heater transistor in the centre. I reached in a pulled out a flat square plate.

Chris Minns is not very bright. As Jim Chalmers helpfully pointed out this week, old mate Chris doesn’t understand progressive taxation and prefers reciting dumb RW memes and Newscorp editorial lines. Read and weep 👇🏼 theconversation.com/do-australia...

My favourite Static Inductions song.

Media again bravely asking “how much tax do / will Australians pay when they die?” Zero. Zilch. Naught. Nil. Nada. Here or anywhere else, ever. Because they are dead. Hope this helps.
