it's the UK but change a couple of names and it could easily be AUS. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yeah, nah. Sorry Madame Governor General but I don't need to be religious to do kind things or be a good person. And I certainly don't require a government commitment to do so. As usual, religion gets special privilege. We are a secular nation. #Auspol

how about "political wet dreams for all our media and billionares?" www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

want to know what is happening and why? it's a bit grim but that is how the Western World's sausage is made. bettbeat.substack.com/p/a-second-w...

This is haunting... It's the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the notes. A song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, it was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered in the 1950s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8tf...

it's not often we get to celebrate a hero. but this man must be seen. Renfrew Christie, a South African scholar whose undercover work for the African National Congress was critical in hobbling the apartheid government’s secret nuclear weapons program in the 1980s, died on Dec. 21 archive.md/TZ2Hs

it's not that hard to see now? surely? open.substack.com/pub/aliensid...

read this, no matter the title of the article, it says things that our media will never dare. bettbeat.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

I’m not taking any notice of the calls for a Royal Commission into Bondi until hear from at least 40 people that I’ve never heard of who’ve been on Dancing With The Stars

I frequently wonder how on earth the man fits himself and ego into the Ford Ranger or Dodge Ram or other bloat-mobile. "..Cars, after all, often have only one occupant. You’re expending a lot of energy to transport yourself." arstechnica.com/cars/2023/11...

le sigh..

Demonising the term ‘Democratic Socialism’ and misleading the public into believing that it’s a form of oppression rather than empowerment is the most evil lie spun by corporate capitalists Buying into this lie made the nightmares of Brexit and MAGA a reality

this is not very exciting for most people but me living in Melbourne (after the usual Winter and Spring, then La Nina came with rain. too much for me) this is just the other side of the back fence now. blue sky. sunlight. warm. no rain. no grey skies at last. @mspraxis.bsky.social

hmm “If you’re still commenting and convinced he’s innocent, you are the reason survivors are too scared to report these people.” yes, this is correct. but he will be OK since there is zero chance his application for parole will be denied at 3 and a bit years. www.smh.com.au/national/vic...

Not sure if it should be titled “the continuing crisis in the Liberal Party” or “the end of the Liberal Party” but, either way, it’s bad news for the LNP. And they don’t deserve to be anywhere near government. Latest New Politics analysis. #AUSPOL open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

Under Albanese, Labor is "a party that is increasingly conflict averse ...and if it's not willing to go into battle with entrenched interests, then what exactly does it care about?" - Sean Kelly. The result is a government enabling powerful entrenched interests to run public policy. #auspol

“Why did the Palestinians initiate this on Oct 7?” Max Blumenthal (Jew): “They didn’t. This war has been going on for 75 years. Israel initiated it in 1948 by ethnically cleansing 750,000 people.”

Truer words never been spoken (or written as the case may be)

There is a rather large elephant in the Coalition’s lounge room. #auspol #netzero

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad. Which is also why you should share it.

some good things are still happening in the world. here is one: Why Solarpunk is already happening in Africa open.substack.com/pub/climated...

We're going to get Coalition environment policy because Labor hates the Greens, aren't we

Time for your regular reminder that A) the Coaltion’s feelings about climate are irrelevant for the next 3-6 yrs B) how much you worry about the Coalition is up to you C) the more you worry about the Coaltion’s irrelevant opinions the less pressure is on the ALP to stop approving new gas & coal

so great that rich people are being heard with their concerns about staying rich #antipovertyweek www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

This Is Fascism

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

We may be about to find out that it is not possible to run the most advanced civilisation in the history of the planet with the intellectual apparatus of a pre-literate society. jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o... ungated: archive.ph/wkSPL

well, it's got something to do with who runs the government. oh, it's those "elected officials". no. it's who pays the money. big fucking money and it brings returns beyond anyone's comprehension. it's rigged and we are played like a violin. every day.

Shitting bull

Amy is again showing us what is real and what is not. we need help with this, as a matter of fact.. Coalition loves a 'cruel hoax' – and now it is one www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

It’s all SO fascist……..

Here’s a photo of #PatriciaKarvelas hosting a Liberal Party event last night. Explain to me, #ABC, how this fits into your claim of ‘independence.’ I’ll wait. ⏰ #AusPol

"And that’s before you get to the awkward truth that a young to middle-aged worker pays far more income tax on the same income than if it’s earned by a retiree with loads of superannuation or other investment income" we are a great nation. www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Fools 😁😁😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

1989. So tell me again how it started on “October 7th”

End SUVS * Tax them by weight * Insist that pass pedestrian impact tests * Impose fines for exceeding allocated parking spaces * Charge them higher for ULEZ entry * Charge them higher for residential parking permits * Stop them from entering narrow roads * Ban them from outside schools

Mr Fish knows how it is.

The Productivity Commission talks a big about living standards… talk is all it has, tbh
