Timely thread on oil profiteering

Rheinmetall hat einen neuen Lobbyisten beim Bundestag registriert - mit besten Kontakten in den Verteidigungsausschuss: Jonas Pfähler war bis 9/2025 Büroleiter von CDU-MdB Jens Lehmann, Mitglied im Verteidigungsausschuss www.lobbyregister.bundestag.de/suche/R00201...

Also me. It was as wild a thing to edit as it was a thing to write.

For the second post on The Pendulum this week, I put out a very late article about incel slang, tracing a rough history of incel subcultures (and their memes), and presenting why all of this is the fault of the "lolcat" and the "RickRoll". It drove me crazy! pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/jestermaxx...

In case you missed it, we had a wild double-feature of posts at The Pendulum this week! First, @sarahrosina.bsky.social wrote up a piece about what "vandalism" Australian police seem to consider enough justification to raid your home and who supports that. pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/zelda-d-ap...

Sudan: „Die Konferenz in Berlin darf keine weitere Alibiveranstaltung bleiben, sondern muss die internationale Gemeinschaft endlich mobilisieren, um weitere Gräueltaten zu verhindern, Gerechtigkeit voranzubringen und die Zivilbevölkerung wirksam zu schützen.“ Weiterlesen⬇️ www.hrw.org/de/news/2026...

Capitalism will never provide a solution to anything because it wants to profit from everything. It's like leaving Serial Killers in charge of stopping Murder.

All the AFL players are in Adelaide, which is depressing for me. Usually I get to blame my weekend hijinks on them, meaning a really embarrassing apology on behalf of their club, their sponsors, their teammates, and their family. So I’m hacking their phones instead. ~Depot Cat

I have another piece out, still on the theme of police repression against protesters but this time looking at an incredibly local case that arose recently and fitting into the pattern of the other cases currently taking place. pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/zelda-d-ap...

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities..labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. And they’re replacing all of it..with fifteen political appointees” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

For the amount that News Corp goes ‘disabled people are wasting our tax money by staying alive’ you would assume the company would bother actually paying tax

Das ist das Bizarrste, Obszönste und Vertrauensschädigendste, das ich je über direkte politische Einflussnahme in Verwaltungshandeln gelesen habe. Eine Rechercheleistung von @fragdenstaat.de über die massive Drohkulisse bei der vergaberechtbeugenden Austeilung von Fördermitteln an Problemprojekte.

How did we get used to this that rapidly and easily

The problem with the NDIS - and there is a problem - is the same one Australia always faces. If you let small businesses exploit the public purse, they'll exploit it mercilessly (remember pink batts or any one of a 100 such programs). The key is in the system design, not the auditing of it.

NT jail cells are filled with First Nations young people facing extreme cruelty. Young people need support and care, not armed police on their school bus ride. We know what’s needed to keep communities safe. It's community services, safe housing, and access to school and healthcare, not armed cops.

2/ In other nazi news, local binfluencer Maram Susli shares a tweet from nazi zine The Noticer & laments the fact that Hitler fanboy Joel Davis spent months on remand & has had bail conditions & a non-association order imposed. 'This is Australia.' 🥹

Wir klagen um Mehmet Kubaşık, der heute vor 20 Jahren in seinem Kiosk in der Mallinckrodtstraße in #Dortmund vom NSU ermordet wurde. Der dreifache Familienvater wurde 39 Jahre alt. Unsere Gedanken und Solidarität sind bei der Familie. Kommt zum Tag der Solidarität um 15h in der Mallinckrodtstr. 190

And if you put money into the hat we're passing around you get an extra hour in the ballpit 🤸

Two years ago, my grandmother and I helped an elderly neighbour to his door when he collapsed. In thanks, he sent us chocolates for Easter. It wasn't long after that he passed away. That pink felt flower was around the wrapping. I've now crocheted it into this bag, busting as much yarn as I could.

Don’t be fooled. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t closed. It’s just blocked for ships linked to the U.S. and its proxies.

Die Kriminalisierung von Palästina-Solidarität lässt sich nicht mit antipalästinensischem Rassismus erklären. Denn ihre Beweggründe und ihre Folgen reichen weit über Hass und Ausschluss hinaus, schreiben Simin Jawabreh und Bafta Sarbo. 👇 jacobin.de/artikel/anti...

Wow shocking, girls 'identifying' as autistic or ADHD as they move into harder levels of schooling where social interactions become increasingly complicated and less and less of your life is scheduled and organised for you by parents and teachers (and when the pressure to socially conform increases)

The New York Times is a genocidal rag. They are framing Israel's ethnic cleansing of Shia Lebanese as simple "evacuation orders" from Israel. If you continue subscribing to the New York Times you are supportong this genocidal propaganda. Boycott the New York Times.

Hey, so I have... questions.

And now! Cis friends! Go check out these audio dramas!

Showed this picture to my cats in the hopes of convincing them it would be very cool to wear an astronaut outfit.

“Go get your own oil” says man who started war that has led to massive disruption to oil supplies apnews.com/live/iran-wa... says nations upset by high fuel prices should 'go get your own oil'

Trotz massiven Gewalt-Anstiegs gegen CSDs erklärt Regierung von #Sachsen Teil des Dresdner #CSD für unpolitisch, weshalb er für die Sicherheit dort selbst zahlen muss. Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung @sophiekochj.bsky.social u.a. kritisieren das @table.media scharf: table.media/berlin/analy...

Wer Solidarität mit Palästinensern zeigt, riskiert Ermittlungen, Förderverlust und öffentliche Ächtung. Ein neuer @amnesty.at-Bericht dokumentiert, wie Österreich Israel-Kritik mit Antisemitismus-Vorwürfen abwürgt – und dabei selbst Menschenrechte verletzt.

Diese Headlines sind auch schlicht falsch – die Todesstrafe würde nicht nur Palästinenser treffen, die Gewalt gegen Zivilisten einsetzen, sondern auch solche, die Soldaten der völkerrechtswidrigen Besatzungsmacht angreifen – also Angriffe, die mit Terrorismus nichts zu tun haben.

Outrageous that an artist in Australia, who makes a living from his creative output, can be threatened with arrest and imprisonment for using a phrase with - at best - contested meaning. This is normal under authoritarian regimes.

Fascinating that the JDL spinoff that tried to kill Nerdeen Kiswani blended Jewish fascism with the manosphere. Kahane’s original project was hyper-masculinist too of course, but it wasn’t therapeutic like this. The male loneliness crisis ranked pretty low on his concerns

Yesterday, 7 women were arrested and their homes raided for a feminist protest outside Vic Trades Hall involving the Zelda statue. Read the statement. Then look at the photos and tell me why so much effort was put into this. www.police.vic.gov.au/seven-charge... www.facebook.com/100064507967...
