Ugh... The Internet is such a depressing and terrible place right now (because the WORLD is a depressing and terrible place). Gonna try and stay offline for a while. Everyone take care.

ABC Australia just reported that there is a lot of dispute about who should control Greenland NO THERE FUCKING ISN’T Akin to reporting that there is a dispute about control of Ukraine because one psychopathic murder / war criminal says so Normalisation of fascism in Australia is at crisis levels

Crackdown. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Statement: Jewish Council Condemns Adelaide Festival Removal of Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah

A small human (3?) dressed in bright pink mermaid togs* has just carefully constructed a sandcastle using a special shaped bucket. She pats it all over to make sure it's smooth, stands to inspects it, then makes the mighty ROAR of her mermaid people and STOMPS IT INTO THE GROUND. (5)

A lot of writers withdrawing from the Adelaide Writers’ Festival. Here’s a few… (thread)

sorry ladies, no Royal Commission into Domestic Violence maybe in the third term

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

Oh hi, AUKUS. #Auspol

How will @albomp.bsky.social react when Greenland is annexed and the president is arrested? #auspol Where is the actual bridge too far?

Hmm, seems the wheels of justice turn quickly in the US when the criminal president is from another country.

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard. Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist. Repeat until the sun explodes.

The 193 member countries of the United Nations mostly appear to have leaders who are neither serial killers nor mass murderers. Why is it that we pay most attention to, laud, those few who are?

WTAF is wrong with people?

These arrows over the top of images are pretty annoying. (In browser on iPhone) @support.bsky.team

AUS schoolchildren should be taught both the US & Israeli national anthems. School flagpoles should be increased in number to fly the Australian, US & Israeli flags. If we're going to be a vassal state to a US dictatorship and a genocidal Israel, it's important we embrace our subservience. #auspol

I so want to hear from the athletes and business leaders who declined the invitation to join those demanding a RC. Who made the approach? What inducements, if any, were offered? Who is coordinating this entitled shitshow?

Donald Trump just kidnapped another country's leader so you'd forget he raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein. This is fucking insane.

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

“If Australia tried to say no to the US, would that be safe?” A question I’ve been asking myself since last night. Puts AUKUS and our almost-free natural resources into perspective… #auspol

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

Has China invaded Taiwan yet?

Way too many anti-Trump Americans are still framing Trump's actions in terms of the threat that they pose to US power and authority. That's not the point, and it's very annoying for the rest of us.

Don't bother reading the article, but DO read the comments. Then maybe mute @reuters.com #muted

Australians, hit the streets tomorrow and Monday in solidarity with Venezuela

“HOW MANY COUNTRIES DO I HAVE TO BOMB TO GET MY PEACE PRIZE?!”

So it’s abundantly clear he raped a ton of children now, right?

If another country flew choppers into Mar-a-Lago and dragged Trump out... wouldn't anyone try to stop them?

Canadians feeling pretty nervous rn.

FIFA hurriedly cobbling together a Best Kidnapping Prize.

The US just attacked another country, entirely unprovoked, and abducted its leader. Most likely so they can steal that country's natural resources (and also as a distraction over Trump's personal drama, i.e. Epstein). You paying attention @albomp.bsky.social ? #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social

We live in an era where the world learns that the United States has kidnapped the leader of another country in a social media post that’s sandwiched between advertisements for pillows.

Three days. Three days. 2026 you fucking arsehole. #Venezuela #Maduro

Dark fucking times.

Missed this at the time… but convicted fraud, antivaxxer and general loon Jamie McIntyre made up some “free speech and independent media awards“ to hand out in July last year. Some of the categories, and recipients, are… curious. #auspol 1/3

140 call for a royal commission into the Bondi shooting & it makes headlines; 30 sign a letter and the iconography projected onto the bridge changes from a message of peace for all to a menorah. But 100,000+ ppl march across the same bridge to protest genocide and what happens? Protest is banned.

A man (40s?) in bare feet, a black punk band T-shirt and shorts is saying to friends: "So I gave the house a good clean before we drove up here to Mum and Dad's, so if anyone breaks in, at least they'll say 'Oh, that's a nice clean house eh!'" (2)

Delighted my article on Australia’s shameful education system (stealing resources from children of the poor to further advantage children of the better off) features in The Saturday Paper’s list of its best in 2025. Hope it also helps drives change. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

The fix is in, folks. Maybe they could teach us how to murder 380,000 children under the age of five in a two year period as well?

With every day that passes, Trump looks more like a cane toad.

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Business people and ‘prominent’ Zionists don’t have to get off their rich arses and walk down a street in Australia to protest. They just sign a letter somebody else wrote and get the media to do the rest
