Abuse culture is an ideology. It is not a mistake or a personal flaw. It is an intentional agenda repeatedly, deliberately carried out, especially by those in power. Even those who disagree on other fronts will often unite to preserve it. Only inflicting consequences on a massive scale will stop it

Man. :( Genuinely heart breaking. Fuck Microsoft

The 5th hearing of the Greens-led housing inquiry held today in Sydney, demonstrated, overwhelmingly, that Australia needs rent caps. Renters face runaway rents, deep insecurity & an impenetrable housing market - they need the financial relief that rent caps can deliver.

if you didn't already have a reason to hate Rockstar well now playing GTA6 is approaching Hogwarts levels of socially unacceptable. if you play it I hope you feel guilty and also get reincarnated as an autistic with zero freedom or love in your life.

Countries sending arms and military assistance to genocidal war mongering nations to kill children and babies to colonise someone else's home should shut the fuck up about one missile test #auspol #ABCSufferingSeriousSinophobia www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

The thing about poverty is it forces you to stay where you are. Theres no money for new bonds, two weeks rent, moving vans… To evict people in a homeless camp is to take away rge only form of shelter they could access

FUCK YEAH I LOVE GRAVITY BATTERIES

The Greens campaigns are so chock-a-block because there's so much to do in the world, much less just Australia. Meanwhile the duopoly + Gina's ON are just fighting for lobby money and who can be the most inhumane with things like human rights and fossil fuels. #auspol

Powerful read from Amy McQuire #NAIDOCWeek

What's this? The Authoritarians becoming more authoritarian? Never would've thunk it of an authoritarian party. #Auspol

Saul Kavonic: "The reservation policy announcement was done purely to distract from the gas tax debate at the time, and the reservation policy was and still is nowhere near ready" Government doing everything they can not to make $17billion a year #auspol www.energynewsbulletin.net/policy/news-...

🙂 - And i mean, even before this, there was Albanese's response to Piers Morgan's anti-trans dog-whistle, which should have raised alarms about Albanese when it comes to gender-related issues.

Imagine if Labor had implemented a 25% tax on obscene profits made by the gas industry, just imagine #auspol #TaxTheGas

Imagine if Labor had #raisedtherate by $12k per year. #Auspol.

It’s hard to take seriously the Govt’s claim it’s interested in protecting children when their gambling 'reform' still allows 3 gambling ads/hr on TV and virtually unlimited ads online. We must stop letting these companies groom kids to gamble. #auspol

There is a point where deliberate intentional ignorance becomes evil, & One Nation has passed that point #auspol

Had a lovely cathartic chat with First Dog on the Moon about finding humour in the miserable state of the world. He's a national treasure. Thx @3rrrfm.bsky.social @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social

Australian police, business as usual I have seen this happen in Victoria, 5 police holding one person down, with one of them repeatedly punching him in the back of the head. The people I told about it, all said he probably deserved it. #humanity #uncivilisation #humanity #auspol #australia

What if the PM was asked to rank his sexual interest in Larissa Waters, Monique Ryan and Jane Hume and he then actually answered that one of them was "all of the above"? A lot of people could do with reflecting on how ok they are with sexual objectification of some women & not others. #auspol #vaw

Just a reminder that @albomp.bsky.social and Richard Marles have allowed this man’s fascist tech company into our national systems. Apparently these are our shared values now. #auspol

"Housing affordability is a bullshit, made-up term that was invented to help politicians avoid answering hard questions." Co-CEO Richard Denniss unpacks the government's recent changes to investor tax breaks on the latest episode of 'What's the Point?' 🏡🏡🏡 #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social

Just noting that Labor and Albanese will go even quieter about climate change and reducing emissions due to fears of losing votes to One Nation, because the fate of the planet is a lesser priority to them then keeping their majority

Is "bleed 'em dry until they die" the business model in the aged care sector? We check out the fees-for-no-service class action #auspol #AgedCare #NDIS youtu.be/GaLI1SmfZDg?...

microsoft's plan, Lay Off Everybody Who Makes Games & Then Find 1 Billion People Per Day To Play The Games They Aren't Making... it's bold. i will give them that

Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

Whatever Platner did or didn’t do, pay attention to how quickly conversations about sexual and physical violence against women turn into “aw shucks” meditations on second chances in a way almost no other harms do. What you frame as deserving of grace tells me who you believe should absorb the cost.

imagine if they fired every band member every time an album came out

You will all die horribly under the duopolies plans.

Executives say unhinged things because they serve an unhinged system that promises impossibly unhinged results. You can’t propagate a fantasy as ridiculous as infinite profits and eternal company growth without your words eventually detaching from reality. Capitalism’s a mass delusion.

I usually don't repost images without alt-text but I went to alt-text this one and I'm like well it's... well, it's a crab-fishing boat, and there's a door, and the door is Full Of Crab????????

the fact that a lot of people would rather complain that I used the word "leftish" to describe Platner than address the fact that racists and misogynists are a nonpartisan problem is a huge reason why we're here.

Gosh, could it possibly be because of all the shows they cancel after one season, so nobody thinks to bother looking for a second? Or could it be because we now have to wait 2-3 years between seasons? It's a ✨ mystery ✨

This is genuinely dope as hell.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

just one more layoff bro. i promise pro just one more layoff and it'll fix everything bro. bro. just one more layoff. please just one more. one more layoff and we can fix this whole problem bro

You don’t hate billionaires and corporations enough.

I guess I'm happy a few studios get to survive the Microsoft summary execution and go independent again but jeeeeesus fucking christ this industry owned by vampires and fuckwits

Xbox and PlayStation in a race the past few weeks to see who can fuck up harder, meanwhile Nintendo is just sitting back and eating popcorn—and hopefully not thinking about how to one-up this idiocy.

Some aged care providers are gouging residents for services they don't provide or telling them that opt-in fees are mandatory. Labor's letting the market rip and older people are paying the price. Is it any wonder American private equity vultures are circling the sector?
