One of the most joyous examples of schadenfreude that I can recall.

An Australian conservative Christmas: John Howard - “We will decide which Santas come to Australia and the manner in which they do so” Tony Abbott- “We will stop the sleighs” Pauline Hanson- “Australia is in danger of being swamped by reindeer”

This Christmas Eve, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

Top ten names that would make a decent baby name if it wasn’t already the name of a medical condition or medication… 10. Amnesia 9. Rubella 8. Codeine 7. Malaria 6. Paxil 5. Alopecia 4. Bonjela 3. Aphasia 2. Typhus 1. Chlamydia

As we watch the capitulation of the Australian media, it’s worth remembering that Israel has murdered almost 300 journalists

Today’s whining and lying to the country speaks quite loudly to this amazing reflection. You’ve possibly seen it. If not, welcome to hell.

I don’t know what making it harder to protest or sanctioning public institutions would have done to prevent the massacre. But I know if the Akram’s didn’t have access to firearms ppl would be alive now. Gun reform is an obvious & popular policy lever that can pulled now before further blood is shed.

Josh Frydenberg said that Albanese should put in place a ‘more rigorous and strong immigration system. "On your watch, thousands of people have come from a terrorist hot spot without sufficient security checks.” The older terrorist came in Australia in 1998. When John Howard was PM.

Ah yes, that's where a recently unemployed 24-year-old bricklayer, who spent years hanging around Australia's pro-IS network, and his 50-year-old migrant father were radicalised: university anti-genocide protests 🙄 Be fucking serious for a moment.

I've never been more curious to know how gun licensing works in Australia. If you live in the inner suburbs of Sydney, what is the need for a high-powered rifle, leave alone 6 of them? I assume there's a form in which the anticipated use is stated? 1/

Ahmed the Fruiterer being the everyday hero that saved multiple lives of mostly Jewish people today is the only politics worth a pinch of shit in this act of terrorism

New Yorkers have the mayor we all deserve.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Because when I think I peace, I think FIFA. And Trump. A peace-a-palooza.

What does a Trump presidency look like when he goes into it knowing he has immunity from prosecution for pretty much anything he does? It looks like this one.

"How could someone be so twisted?" said the media regarding the person making nursery rhyme videos. From the archive: chaser.com.au/entertainmen...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Let's everyone have a cup of tea and a lie down over this.

And in “upside down world” today….

Watching as peak industry bodies and governments somehow team up to potentially foul some of the mots pristine waters on earth. FFS.

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

Never thought I'd see the priests rocking the Tik-Tok - but here they are. And articulate they are too. Well done lads.

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power. No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality. The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

So here's the favour I want to ask: if this post crosses your feed, please take this chance to support the Gitxsan and Gitanyow by watching our latest HGA and passing it on. Help us put Ksi Lisims and PRGT on the map 🙏

Another uniquely Australian oddity - the lesser spotted utterly unproductive "Envoy". Approach with caution.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

May as well have a good time processing this garbage!

🧵 Happy Halloween — and Happy Reformation Day! Today is the anniversary of the day Martin Luther challenged Roman Catholic doctrine by posting his 95 Theses on a church door.

How is it possible that plain clothes men can kidnap a woman - under the unfussed gaze of a policeman??

Things are so bad on the veldt of Australian politics that we have a new category: "stupid-stupid".

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

Derek has a sixth sense about this stuff.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Updating my LEGO White House

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Historians will judge the moment of demolition of the East Wing portico of the White House to accommodate more floor space over a garden was when Donald Trump truly became an Australian

Please help Brent out. The prescience here is toppermost shelf.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Huddling in a way my family could only dream of....

A little extra quality in your life. Enjoy.

No better trolls on earth than the Norwegians. Hell, didn’t they invent them?

Barbs is boss. We are blessed with an abundance of Pococks (no relation) at present.

Just staggering that a young person has this much guts. True American hero.

Alexa, what happens when you put a fracking executive in charge of the Department of Energy?

Helicoptering bird. Bless.

Gotta keep loving Italy.
