Wow! Just wow!

Hundreds of Chicagoans flooded the streets after ICE agents stormed a daycare and violently detained a teacher in front of children and parents. How can any child feel safe after watching their educator dragged away? stand with this community demanding dignity and decency!

Unpaid air traffic controllers are quitting their jobs altogether as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues.

Graham Richardson, hard-nosed former Labor minister and numbers man – obituary

"I wrote back and said, 'Yeah, well, there will be no more inappropriate roster or any sort of roster because within an hour and a half of calling, David was dead.'"

So tackling climate change is an ‘environmental imperative’ but Labor has specifically ruled out putting a climate trigger in their proposed changes to our environmental laws… Checks out

Pat Conroy is fading away - potentially trying to distance himself from allegations of being Murray Watt’s twin

Thinking about chucking it all in to become a royal commentator. Put the feet up for 330 days per year. Take the occasional call and make up some jaunty little anecdotes on the spot. Job done ✅

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... My unpopular opinion? Tiny homes are expensive trailer homes which avoids the problem. They are a bandage solution to a systemic problem - our collective failure to build solid, high-density, multi-story homes.

Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways …

This weekend, the Texas Book Festival, which will gather some 250 authors in a bibliophilic tent city out front of the state Capitol, ironically the launching pad of myriad political attacks on supposedly intolerable tomes and sinful librarians.

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

"why don't Australians care about local council as much as a NYC mayoral election?" Australian local government: jade.io/article/1162...

This photo will remind Australians of our former Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, who responded to criticism of him being on vacation in Hawaii while major bushfires raged across Australia with the words “I don’t hold a hose, mate”. Rightly, he was never allowed to forget it

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Little known fact about Jesus: he was also very close to the gambling lobby, and fought hard to shut down freedom of information requests

The data breaches and law suits to come are simply going to be titanic. A fucking donkey could see this ban is a nightmare waiting to happen but our greedy, malevolently incompetent politicians have yet to see a failure too daunting for them to embrace wholeheartedly.

Probably because the ban has absolutely nothing to do with child safety whatsoever, it is about limiting and controlling access to information for young people, as well as slowly forcing everyone to adopt a digital ID. The whole thing is an absurd farce that’s going to fail in spectacular fashion.

The bombardment of southern Lebanon continues without pause.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission inspector is actively examining several complaints, including one from a former NACC employee, relating to Paul Brereton and potential conflicts of interest arising from his ongoing defence ties.

VOICEOVER: in the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet entirely opposite, groups: the police, who are afraid of sandwiches, and sandwich wielders, armed with food consisting of two pieces of bread filled with meat, cheese, and vegetables. these are their stories.

It would seem that the ACCC lawsuit against Microsoft worked! Emailed this morning with the offer of a return to the old Microsoft365 suite without AI Co-pilot and a refund on the charges. In the bin!

The bad news: when I follow the link to downgrade to Family Classic, I am offered instead only my current expensive Copilot-containing Family plan or a single person Classic plan. Where is the promised Family Classic plan? Microsoft still appears to be making this unreasonably difficult.

The good news: this legal action appears to have precipitated an apology and and offer to convert to “Microsoft 365 Family Classic” with a refund, according to this email I received today.

I know it’s Microsoft but I genuinely cannot believe it took this long.

The bloke losing by 63% in a two-horse race is JD Vance’s half-brother.

And now I’m watching this idiot gloat on TV about his Mamdani’s win. Get in the bin.

Apart from anything else, "Abigail Spanberger" is a great name. If you're lucky enough to have a surname that's a dactyl and you don't give your children a first name that's also a dactyl you're wasting everybody's time. Hats off in particular to Mr & Mrs Roosevelt for coming up with "Franklin D".

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush has again been forced to defend his travel in the police helicopter after revealing he has used the police air wing on a second occasion and his wife has also flown in it.
