The point of politics isn't to just stay there, guys ... #auspol

Listening to @abcnews radio news on the release of "Israeli hostages" and "Palestinian prisoners" and the "end of the war" and I'm really sick to death of this whitewashed pro-Israel biased shit that is genocide denial and dehumanizes Palestinians. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

Good morning!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It's the topic everyone in Canberra is talking about and now thanks to ChaserBet, you can win big on this bizarre story!

I want to go back in time and box the ears of the GP who told my friend she was making up 'chronic fatigue syndrome' and just wanted attention. I wanted to do it then, too. I'll still want to do it in 10 years time.

This is where we're at in Australia, we truly are pathetic www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.

Portland never stops being Portland.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

I am just so fucking proud of her.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Cool cool cool. So... why do we bend over backwards for these disgusting eco-killing companies again?? 💁‍♀️ #AusPol #EatTheRich

“generals gathered in their masses to listen to gigantic asses“ headline is sitting right there, which outlet is going to step up

Rhetoric like this is dangerous and should be called out.  Climate change is real and it is having real effects on our farmers now.

The most Australian analogy ever. Shutting down a racist at the same time is just the cherry on top. #auspol #aupol

I just found out that these delightful little weirdos, the Red Handfish (small, shallow water angler fish!) are very close to extinct in the wild, but there's an organisation called the Foundation for Australia's Most Endangered who are working to save them: www.fame.org.au/projects/sav...

So exhausting..

My dearest wife, It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

Here are two minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more.

What a fucking mess... This is happening now, in Australia. Check your lease. Know your rights. #AusPol Alt text added.

FWIW the first time I ever saw the word it was in a graffito on a wall in Venice. I had to ask what it meant. Much like the Holy Roman Empire joke, it is neither domestic, nor terrorist, nor an organization.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

lot of people been posting this one but here’s my post of it with my name correct. okie doke

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath, nor motion; As idle as a cheesecake ship Upon a blueberry ocean.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“These people are full of shit.” Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social, who faced multiple death threats from people who've since been convicted, calls out Trump +allies for weaponizing Charlie Kirk’s killing against the left. Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's full interview: zeteo.com/p/full-of-sh...

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

More Spring flowers taken on my long walk yesterday. It was windy and a bit cold, but sunny and colourful. #CanberraSpring

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
