"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

This is genuinely a terrifying quote from Hastie's email to supporters

You could fund the entire site if you could pay $100 to mute someone site-wide for an hour

It ain’t perfect but the way you can do feeds/lists on here is pretty neat

my most unpopular opinion is that it's a sign of defective moral character if you point blank refuse to answer phone calls from unknown numbers. it's not that hard to hang up on spam/scammers, and you are probably missing important calls!

Not saying things aren’t worse now than 10 or more years ago but from 9/11 to the Iraq War there very much was an implication that anyone opposed to the push for war was in the least aiding and abetting Osama and Saddam. Definitely not stated as loudly as now but it was there.

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"

This is a bizarre thing to publish on the day the federal court awarded a journalist $220,000 for being unfairly dismissed from an on-air role for their political views. In Australia it isn't just private companies that cave to pressure, it's the public broadcaster www.smh.com.au/national/why...

I get why Albo’s office would want to tick that box/wouldn’t want the larger fight(s), but I can’t imagine the Canberra gallery will let the matter go just because these two got a selfie together.

Over on Twitter, Israel telegraphing that they are going to kill those on the Sumud Flotilla. They are unarmed yet Israel is claiming they are pursuing "violent" action because they intend to break the siege by sailing a boat to gaza.

dear train stations, what is preventing you from looking like this?

A government will only stop/you getting what you can/it just distorts the market/if you help your fellow man

With everyone on the healthcare yarn, time to bump one of the classics youtu.be/avUBca6bExc?... #the90sareback

230 years of vaccine practice tossed out because a dementia patient made up some numbers with a heroine addict. Cool country, enjoy polio you stupid cunts.

Perversely I’m actually looking forward to the spanked-the-shit-out-of-the-Swans bowl. #AFLGF

Everyone knows the man they call The Punisher, @benhr.bsky.social, was the king of blocks on twitter. We need a nickname for @kels316.bsky.social inducing this response on here.

Me when I’m doing 90 in a 40 with a BAC of 0.21

I always assumed the implication of “We have always been at war with Eurasia” is that the forces of evil are deliberately changing who we’re at war with essentially as a form of gaslighting. Who knew it was actually about dementia?

Every single criticism of BlueSky is valid except somehow the one the pundits stumbled upon, which is roughly equivalent to kicking down the door of a KFC and incredulously asking everyone if they are aware they are eating fried chicken.

Starting a chapter. DM for details.

Personally I prefer it when the Swans are winning. But each to their own I guess. #AFLWSwansGiants #battleofStanmoreMaccas

Pretty wild to have a take that you should want the FBI to take you in for questioning. Even at the best of times that’s insane but in this political economy?

At this moment Australia has no political opposition, we have a centrist government that can carry it, no one cares what the Murdoch press say, and Australian's like the idea of taxing multinational corporations more than Qlders like the idea of closing the NSW border.

Australia has a climate change leadership problem, in that we should be showing the world how to do it because we are in the best position to do so. Our fossil fuel industry brings nothing to the national table. They are serial tax evaders, employ next to nobody, and suck up large tax expenditures.

Trump take NCIS

I really appreciate Danger for being a socks up guy. I had hoped Brodie would inherit that spot from Buddy when he came to the Swans but he only does the one over his shin guard. #AFLCatsHawks

Donald Trump is a stopped clock but it’s a digital clock stopped at 5:05pm on a Friday

Leftists in not even trying to beat the allegations shock

Not for the first time the Letterman Youtube channel is timely and on point. youtu.be/RFrktJ6_X_M?...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

First: ANTIFA not an actual organisation. Second: It simply stands for ‘anti-fascism’. As such, it is difficult to characterise this as anything other than a pro-fascist declaration.

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.

Voters everywhere are doing wild stuff because they *just want things to change*. They may not have a good sense of *how* they want things to change, just that things need to be different somehow. In part it's probably because we've been deprived of a future we can look forward to.

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

Gentle reminder that Labor’s targets are bullshit because their emissions reduction policies are bullshit - real emissions aren’t falling at all, they’re flat, but the govt employs land-use accounting tricks and dodgy offsets to sell their lies

The Age Green Guide TV reviewer excoriates ABC reality series. #auspol

this is legit scary but it’s also the product of a paper thin administration that’s going to collapse under its own vanity

On the one hand you have the Ezra Kleins of the world saying we have to learn to live with the MAGA right, on the other they’re literally cancelling late night comedians.

In honour of Robert Redford I think it's every Australian's duty today to get on the blower and sort something out, even if it's only on deep background.
