Oh I just thought they were gonna scrape the copper out of the walls until it burned down, but they're gonna toss gasoline everywhere before they can even do that.

Not only is the hunger for new data centres already impacting Australia's energy demands, it's even driving down our ambitions for reducing our emissions, Ketan Joshi reports in Crikey. www.crikey.com.au/20...

not enough attention is paid to javier milei's belief that his dog was basically the god emperor of dogkind and milei's project to create a gene seed clone army of perfect dogs

Recently got to 102kg squats but can't yet play a single Primus song, can see I still have a long way to go at the gym.

Classic "dudes rock" scenario here

lenin vindicated yet again

Not great overall, but I look forward to Americans giving up on 'nyah nyah you have a monarch' as quality banter. Expect they'll be even ruder towards baked beans to make up the difference.

It's good to see that Zach Woods has only become more powerful and based with time.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

it is both true that the typical swing voter would lick the elephant’s foot at chernobyl if a girl with big tits told them to on instagram and that you should demand better of that person in their voting habits

the prophecy is coming true: someday, everyone will claim they were always against this

CHOTINER: So You created us right GOD: Yes CHOTINER: In Your image GOD: Yes CHOTINER: And sometimes we do bad things GOD: Oh Yes CHOTINER: And then you send plagues and floods GOD: OK I think I see where you are going with this

just found a bullet casing with the entire bee movie script on it

I was willing to give Kamala the benefit of the doubt when she started talking about how Biden's team micromanaged her but everything she's said since is just her coming out as having even worse political instincts lmao

Chotiner: and then you didn't send him to jail, and he ran again? USA: I mean yes but we do have pretty robust institutions, you know, the supreme court and so on Chotiner: I see. So they were able to stop the worst of it? USA: Well now it um the thing you have to understand

Bluntly, I'd be more willing to listen to the liberal hawks talk about American hegemony if those exact same people, when running an Actual Existing Liberal Hawk government, didn't say to my face "do not mention international humanitarian law to the Israelis" because it "shuts down the conversation"

Liberals scrambling to justify why the us should have hegemony after killing like 60 million people since ww2

Chotiner getting to the whole "semi-clone of your dead wife that's 14 and which you have a suspiciously close relationship with" part would make Gendo truly crash out

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

Sussan Ley advertising her opposition to Australia's recognition of Palestine today will go down like Dutton walking out of Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations in the long run. Fingers crossed she also gets to take the LNP to a brutal election loss.

I could never be an atheist, it's simply too cringe

I believe in the all encompassing divine, imparting all I do and see with sacred meaning, and if slightly questioned about it I will immediately shit my pants on the playground and call you a doody-head

i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

It's black swans all over again, the philosophy faculty is in shambles.

I’ve been training my whole life for this moment

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

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

In a single attack Israel murdered nearly three times as many journalists as were killed in the Charlie Hebdo massacre. This is a state terror attack. They have now killed nearly 250 journalists in two years. More than Putin has killed in 20 years. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Albanese had a once-in-a-generation opportunity to do a moonshot. The Coalition's a rump, Murdoch has lost most of his local influence, people want action, and hell Albanese's got basically five years left for legacy shopping. Instead Labor defaults to don't-scare-the-horses yet again.

I regret nothing, I don't apologize, kiss my ass.

i would have guessed that playing footsie with reactionaries would have gotten you some kind of exemption -- guess not

congrats to joe brandon and all the purported defenders of democracy who normalized cracking heads on student protestors in order to cover for israeli genocide. you really greased the skids for ol donnie trump to formally submarine the first amendment

the average american political assassin is like “i have 10,000 hours at the range. i love mein kampf and the stalin ddr constitution. im killing a neoconfederate in the name of harry turtledove. my ideal country is rhodesia but woke (they have the nfl this time)”

Ed Husic calls out Andrew Hastie’s hypocrisy after he threatened to resign from the front bench bcoz of “the cost of Net Zero”, but didn’t say zip about Peter Dutton’s $600bill Nuclear plan which was “dressed up as Net Zero” “He never had a problem with that.”🔥 #Abc

ma’am please stop bothering that baked potato😭

Let the record show that @bsky.app suspended me for saying Mashalla at the news of his death

a republican was literally in the middle of blaming Black and trans people for gun violence when a white right winger shot him that perfectly sums up the american conversation about gun violence

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal. This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer. #MedievalMonday

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that
