Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

lol she got his ass and he knows it

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Joe Biden pooped in a toilet like a total cuck. Diarrhea Don puts on his crown and shits all over the American people just like we like. So glamorous, so elite.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

What the fuck, European Parliament

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla. Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained. The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester. Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

slightly ominous mailer from the Red Cross

If Penny Wong is serious about the Australian govt wanting to *do something* to stop the #GazaGenocide, Francesca Albanese provided a handy list a couple of months ago. #auspol

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Look at academia giving me a little hope

So what you do is, you just scroll. With your thumb. Yeah, like that. And then your brain lives 8 very stressful lifetimes in the span of 30 minutes. I do it like 10 times a day. I’ve lost the ability to make eye contact with my loved ones.

There’s so much evil in the world right now. So much in your face obvious evil that this unforgivable omnicidal act by Murray Watt and the ALP probably slides below the surface. But the impact of this on countless people and species, and First Nations culture, outweighs much of the rest. Despicable.

I am not usually excited about podcasts but I love the concept of this one (helps that I am currently obsessed with revolutions, particularly the French one). Ep 1 was great!

Once there was a new lady at the dog park and when I started talking to her she was like “I’m actually just dog-sitting for this German Shepherd because the owner is at Burning Man. The dog’s name is Hegemony.” This is the story I tell when people ask me what San Francisco is like.

It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

tyrants, butchers, murderers!

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

I’m still waiting for an explanation of the three times that Mr Bean is seen walking across frame in the Epstein jail video. What was he doing there?

From the ABS sats this article cites, there is no statistically significant difference in male and female readers in any generation except gen X. www.theage.com.au/culture/book...

"SLOPPER" I'm losing my mind

Just in case you missed this, this was the first week back in Parliament. It’s revealing to see what motivates @albomp.bsky.social’s government to act. The PM has released yet another statement today about Israel, but again no actual sanctions. The last panel was harrowing to draw. #auspol

One Nation Senators turn their back on First Nations people by refusing to respect Welcome to Country, and there's zero consequences. But speak out for starving Palestinians and that results in punishment? What kind of Parliament is this?

A tipping point has been reached. Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world. Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months. You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.

reposting with alt text bc lmao tag yourself im 'doctrine of retreat not applicable to'

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Look, fox, books! Books in a nook! Fox in a nook with a book, look!

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

In recent years, half a dozen young Aboriginal men have vanished in the north of the state in mysterious circumstances, in cases that have triggered a fraction of the public interest. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

i can’t remember anything that has felt more foisted upon us than AI. repeatedly telling us why we actually need is like thinking a joke will get funnier the more you explain it.
