This is such a great piece of writing.

History has many painful lessons.

Good. Throw the book at him. I'm sure "Oh, your Honour, the authorisation being left off was just an error, despite it also saying 'Produced by the people of Wentworth for the people of Wentworth'" will go well.

In my area we have free book exchange cabinets - take a book, leave a book, up to you. I check the one near mine most days, and if there's any books on "woo woo" New Age bollocks like astrology, crystals, reiki and tarot, I take those books and get them shredded at the local tip.

Probably only a small thing in the big scheme of things, but being nickel and dimed by #Microsoft and these criminal #GamePass price hikes is utter rubbish. Time to reconsider. I hope gamers cancel en masse and make the C-Suite types sweat a bit. #gaming

Geez, if your show even fails Sky News standards, then you've got a serious problem. Excellent news that this garbage has been thrown in the bin. #Murdoch #skynews #garbagejournalism

Thanks Shannon, I’ve always said that a male real estate agent should be the voice of Australian women.

Olympics and World Cup I'm the US very soon. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong ... US fan ugliness at the Ryder Cup was merely a reflection of Trump’s all-caps America www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

The People vs Robodebt is in equal parts heartbreaking and infuriating. Again, watch it. Watch it. Just watch it. #auspol

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Awful news that Kaleb Horton died. A talented writer who in another time would've been getting $5 a word with an expense account. Read his skilled filleting of the Entourage movie web.archive.org/web/20150605...

That is how to write a headline in the Trump era

This only happens to you once

Make him famous.

If anyone knows anything about this ICE agent, you can reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Domestic terrorists. Brown shirts.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

A thing of utter beauty.

We do truly have to rethink our relationship with the US.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep: 1. Growth, care and maintenance of cacti and succulents, particularly echeveria and agave. 2. The state of contemporary Australian journalism. 3. Dutch tulipmania in the 16th century.

Dead set, how many people does he want to kill.

People are going to die because of this.

She is SO CLOSE to getting it.

What an utter village idiot this guy is. Trump makes him sound like Einstein, but let's be serious, Trump makes a wire door sound like Einstein, so it's a low bar. Farage is pure unadulterated idiocy jammed into a suit and pointed in the direction of a microphone and TV camera.

…And in this example we have a major corporation pulling a show because it might too overtly criticize self-avowed white supremacist terror networks.

It's almost as if, before the Gaza famine was officially recognised, it was a story, as media organisations could generate controversy by hosting Israeli government spokespeople and our own rightwing blowhards, insisting it was all a fabrication. Now that it can no longer be denied ... no story.

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

This is a hell of a read, to put it mildly.

First Amendment Cliffs Notes:

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."

Watch it. Just watch it.

Despite the late-night host's return, several US ABC affiliates did not air the episode, excluding an estimated one-quarter of American households.

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

This is quality, proper journalism. Proper fact checking, context and relevant comments/responses. Proper journalism.

We deserve better.

Some of us do.

A quick measles numbers update for Australia (eliminated mealses as of 2014), as we receive travellers from all over the world (see WHO link below). Many locations fuel infection that hitches a ride to Australia as visitors or returning citizens and residents view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx...

As Australia's unvaccinated child base grows larger, the likelihood that imported infections will spread - because we don't have endemic measles in Australia - will also rise. This is not an opinion, it's a truth. Rising cases will also lead to an increase in severe outcomes. ➡️⬆️harms ➡️⬆️costs

Yes! Thankyou! "Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

Will pro Israel lobby groups pay for this? Will Ita Buttrose pay for this? No, we will pay for this. The already stretched ABC budget will fund less local content this year due to political interference and terrible management. #OurABC #AusPol
