This should be very familiar to any alert Australians. Our governments were locking up children til they were losing their teeth due to lack of vitamin C. Dying of resignation syndrome. Never forget #Auspol www.theguardian.com/news/series/...

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

I truly do not know what to do with the feeling in my body when I read this

YES YES YES music and dance is so human, and it binds us together 👏🏻🎶🎺🎷 Protest can be joyful! Resistance is worth celebrating!!

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

Gregory Bovino looks like the type of lackey to go out in a "You have outlived your usefulness" kind of way

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... To be clear. This was an act of domestic terrorism. The reason it hasn't been declared as such, is that the intended victims are indigenous Australians. Welcome to Western Australia.

RIP Greg Bovino. Cried into his pink slip, threw it on the floor, tried to kick it, tripped, fell on a stove, backed into a shelf, knocked a bucket onto his head, reached for a wall, grabbed a rabid dog, and then fell out a window into the world’s largest outdoor red ant farm.

@netflix.com you just sent me an email with the subject "PODCASTS ARE HERE!" and I just want you to know I don't want that and I don't like it, I don't appreciate you doing it and I don't appreciating you emailing me about it. I don't appreciate the exclamation point.

The nuclear industry never managed to solve its waste issues. Cigarettes were always carcinogenic. Its increasingly clear that AI chatbots have structural hazards that the tech industry can’t or won’t solve www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

"testosterone will make you ugly" WRONG it will turn me into columbo

I'm glad the worst people on earth are on their back foot today but until the two murderers are arrested and prosecuted this is all fluff

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Shocking to me and no one else that work is easier when you're not burned out. I forgot what it was like to be able to think clearly, rather than having to manually make my brain to work through sheer force of will. I look forward to relearning this lesson in 6-12 months.

I've had two weeks off work for the first time in years, and I am not hyped to log on again. I've only just started to feel human again!!

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

hey what shoes should I wear to the goth club?

A considered assessment.

The highest temperature ever recorded in the State of Victoria was 48.8 degrees in Hopetoun on Feb 7 2009. The forecast maximums for tomorrow for Mildura, Ouyen, Hattah, Colignan and Nangiloc are 49 degrees.

thousands of love songs played and replayed and i never sang one to myself

Fascists love to harp back to the glory days of empire, the 18th and 19th centuries, wanting to make X great again, and forget that generally liberal democracy was not leftist elite over reach. It was a compromise to sustain capitalism after conditions led subject populations to revolt repeatedly.

My answer to the whole “Australia Day” question is; we get rid of it as a general public holiday and instead we give people a full week off for lunar new year. I fully believe this would make people less racist because even though Australians love being racist we love a holiday even more

It's a real problem in our community and we need to have an open and honest conversation

Aussie media do not represent fatal level heatwave with stories about people flocking to the beach challenge

Advocacy org Sweltering Cities wants you to send them pics of what extreme heat really looks like: you and your pets trying to keep cool; hot streets, bus or tram stops; closed businesses; or other visual markers of heat. DM them the pics on IG or email them to info at sweltering cities dot org

"Oh so you just call anyone you disagree with nazis?" is getting a lot of work out from people who attended a rally organised by self-described neo-nazis, had antisemitic speeches and chants demanding arrested self-declared neo-nazis be freed from prison

It’s pretty basic, capitalism depends on individualism & we interrupt it by practicing simple human collectivism. You can theorize it but theory’s not the point because it’s actually organic. The capitalist is astounded that people are willing to share & give. It must be bankrolled by a billionaire.

How embarrassing are libertarians right now?! Truly, this was meant to be your moment. We all knew it wasn't about tyranny; you're just racist dipshits that don't want to pay taxes. Your joke of an ideology is so convenient for the establishment, I'm half convinced it's a psyop.

nazis go 'undercover' at the nazi rally they helped organise

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress. Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes. #ChangeTheBloodyDateAlready

45 degrees C forecast for Melbourne tomorrow. Yuck. It’s worse elsewhere, but that’s 5 million-odd people in houses & workplaces – and some schools – that are utterly unprepared for such heat. At what point are community heat shelters set up by Councils & States?
