Joe Rogan wants you to regard him as a passive observer just talking to buds but he knows he was key to the Trump campaign and will be key to the future Fuentes campaign.

It’s hard not to just give up. This is just appalling stuff. The book is a crock of shyte and its authors should have been shunned not rewarded

How else can they afford their vintage Nikons and their sneaker collection?

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

I just ripped a dear relative a new one after they said “that non-binary stuff is bullshit, I don’t understand it. Just rubbish”. No mercy. We have a NB nibling. Honestly a shitty thing to say

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

Omar Hamad and Ibrahim are gathering donations to create a public library in Gaza after Israel’s genocidal war destroyed nearly all its existing libraries, schools, and universities. lithub.com/you-can-help...

Anyone with a hint of a conscience shouldn’t be writing for the New York Times

One of the best podcasts around. And a welcome change of pace, style and content from the political stuff I force myself to listen to even though it’s upsetting. Empire is a joy

I introduced a dear 🇺🇸an friend to Vegemite. He is a vegan and described it as “my new bacon”. Loves it. Let your vegemite freak flag fly

Blue Maga a wee bit tetchy today

This is why I wanna bitchslap every hideous overbearing parent who insists on turning their kid into an Olympian by dragging them into a pool or running track or dojo when it’s still dark outside

I went a step further in early 2026, shunning not only the known and suspected Trump voters, but also the people who did not vote at all. Life in the US got lonelier but also calmer, clearer and less stressful. They were awful people, truly - and I was a better and happier person for letting them go

If you’re still working for or subscribing to the NYT, you are not to be taken seriously

What a shithouse 48 hours

Pritzker being lukewarm on Mamdani is no surprise

Stop fucking speculating

I am blocking and reporting any and all fucking accounts re-skeeting unverified news. I swear to God, keep your itchy fingers under control

Every single woman who posts on the femalelivingspace subreddit is the woman in this guy’s monologue www.instagram.com/reel/DIuo6Ya...

@kudelka.bsky.social at your lovely store in Hobart. Just bought some cards for a US friend obsessed with Aus birds

This whole thread is so 🇺🇸’an

all i'm saying is that there were better options

Did Mike Pence just fuck the administration?

Vanessa Redgrave has lived to a ripe old age being firm and unyielding in her absolutely correct convictions about Palestine and Palestinian resistance YEARS before everybody else caught up

Thread of the day 👇👇👇👇

Is it just me or are the Bulwark folk (Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell, Jon V Last, Kristol, Stein yadda yadda) studiously avoiding calling out the complete illegitimacy of SCOTUS. They pour scorn on a supine congress, softheaded universities, shitty silicon valley nerds but SCOTUS is off limits. Why?

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.

I’m liking every single Christmas tree I see on reddit. The maximalist ones, the ugly ones, the tasteful ones. All of them. Just hitting that thumbs up like my life depends on it

I don’t understand why so many Democrats seem convinced that they can win over Republican voters. Those voters like Republicans and vote for them because they like their wretched policies. They do not want the diet version

The only thing Tarantino does with any conviction in Pulp Fiction is utter the “n” word over and over

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity

It’s St Nicholas’ Day so time to put up the tree

I’m thinking of getting a cat and calling it Tecumseh

Mr Gideon Haigh on why the ongoing, incompetent and dull-witted enshittification of the State Library of Victoria is so heartbreaking, so stupid, and so dangerous. Please share. www.cricketetal.com/p/an-institu...

Elevator pitch: watching a citizenship ceremony and passing a citizenship test should be a mandatory middle school field trip

Can Bill and Hillary just pop their clogs already?

The house Springfield built for Ned Flanders

Switch to part time work and use that day for volunteering

Fuck yeah!!!!! If I’m being squeezed into a tiny seat with zero legroom on a trans-Pacific flight you can be sure I’m wearing a fucking caftan over my jammies. Keep treating people like animals and see what you get

If a student’s reaction to assigned material is “I reject the assigned material outright as a matter of personal belief,” the response should be “we respect your beliefs so much that we’re unenrolling you from this class to make room for a student interested in engaging with the subject.”

It’s easy to hate on Lena Dunham but her @criterion.bsky.social closet picks are wonderful

@profanity.accountant how much do I swear?

I saw a friend off at Melb Airport today & was struck by how civilized and kind 🇦🇺’ans are at public comforts. We can sit at a cafe, do a spot of shopping, take a free seat w/o needing a ticket or entering security. I recall the Daniel Moynihan train stn in NYC and the absence of seating ANYWHERE 1/

Bluesky especially tetchy today

it’s always hilarious to see capitalists complaining about where people choose to spend their money instead of simply adapting to those choices

Taking a New Jerseyan on a tour of Melbourne’s various botanic gardens these last few days has been an eye-opener. How beautiful is my country? #proofofmove

There is nothing as disconcerting as accounts on here with smiley portraits/avatars, posting grim grim stuff
