I guess we should thank Donald Trump for making the relationship between fossil fuels and fascism explicit.

This is an excellent article on the idiocy of Australia continuing to be the third biggest petrostate and how this is not even a positive in bald economic terms. A great myth buster michaelwest.com.au/climate-risk...

Hang on… The Albanese Labor Govt is saying that elderly Australians have to pay more for basic at home care - as spending needs to be reigned in. But - they give over $200b of our public money to the US & UK for submarines we’ll never see. What a betrayal #auspol

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

Barbara Pocock asks what is ASIC’s max penalty, after they slugged ANZ with $240mill? Sarah Court says it’s in the “many billions of dollars” but ASIC chose not go for such a big fine bcoz it’s “sooo high”🙄 ANZ makes billions in profit each year. No wonder they never learn.

odd choice to call out core coalition constituencies like landlords, franking boomers, agribusiness, job police agencies, and the mining industry. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

lot of people been posting this one but here’s my post of it with my name correct. okie doke

Something to remember for you all as social media is swamped by people angry over a man they've never met - especially in Australia where that American white guy's killing is being fed out and manipulated by Advance and the Atlas group. You're being played. All of it is scripted agit-prop trash.

Greg Hunt when health minister oversaw $54m in contracts to a #PlymouthBrethren company. Greg Hunt is now a paid advisor to a Brethren company board. Greg Hunt said any health contracts were the responsibility of public servants. Greg Hunt has a bridge to sell us. #4Corners #auspol

You condemn Iran but not Israel's genocide of the Palestinians, @senatorwong.bsky.social? Nothing to say about Israel's recent bombing of Qatar? You say you have zero tolerance for foreign interference & violence in Australia, but you take orders from Washington & export violence to the Middle East!

Compare how ABC/media are responding to the murder of American far right political activist Charlie Kirk to how they responded to the murder of Australian humanitarian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. It’s disgraceful.

How is this acceptable from a sitting politician? #Auspol

Congrats to Charlie Kirk for joining Nancy Reagan in the vested halls of American Political Throat GOATs.

How does the Australian government expect its citizens to be reasonable about immigration if THEY are doing humanitarian crimes against the people who genuinely need to flee as refugees

Glou Wine Bar in Collingwood - the bar that donated all of the drinks VS used during our federal election campaign - had Nelson Alexander reach out to ask if they could have their Christmas party there. Their response is marvellous.

Apparently it's AuDHD awareness day audhdday.com

meanwhile in australian news

It’s Ginger Cat Appreciation Day

Happy!

Of all the worst photo ops I have seen with Richard Marles this has to be the most fucked sofa

Yet another person has died "surrounded by his family' and people still ask me why I don't visit mine.

💥Richard Dennis, on Economic Reform Rountable. "Unemployment benefits that are below the poverty line are apparently fine, & it's perfectly acceptable to call for cuts to disability services, but...it's considered quite rude to suggest it's time for the gas industry to stop free riding".💥 #Auspol

For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal.

Jason Hickel— "On this day [19 August] in 1953, the US and Britain carried out a brutal coup that deposed Mohammad Mosaddegh, the popular Prime Minister of Iran, beloved for his progressive and pro-worker reforms, because he sought to restore national control over the country's oil reserves."

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

A current Director of DEWR expresses that the legislative intent of the Targeted Compliance Framework is to punish people. We have hundreds of pages of direct evidence of this. What they are describing here is very arguably a breach of the separation of powers. www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/view...

Pretty much the History of Australia since 1788 in 4 bullet points.

"For now on, when we say we are 'deeply concerned' about the deaths of people being killed by someone, we will be doing so while acknowledging the country those people are from exists." Read more: chaser.com.au/national/aus...

PETER THIEL: we want to kill everyone. we want slaves. we will scour the earth until nothing can grow THE NEWS: thats his beliefs and we respect that

Who ordered two loaves?

A single mum misses one Centrelink appointment and the government cuts her off. Gareth Ward rapes a teenager, gets convicted, and the government cuts him a cheque #auspol

Winter snuggles

One note about NSW cops and public safety today - the rain meant the public order riot squad clowns seemed to be hiding in their vans, which is a win for public safety.

Just pointing out that there are more people marching in the #MarchForHumanity across Australia than there are members of the Labor and Liberal parties

One of my absolute favourite reads of the year! A super inventive blend of Nigerian folklore and futurism. (And the story ‘Ganger’ is just *chef’s kiss*)

Huh…. I thought it was guillotining billionaires and spreading their wealth to the 99%.
