It's also worth remembering that Camp Sovereignty is a burial site with the remains of Indigenous people from 38 Indigenous nations. It is sacred land. Imagine the police/government respose if the sacred burial sites of any other culture or religion were desecrated or subject to violent attack.
with every passing year your walk out looks more and more prescient. I had a "quick drink after work" before meeting my partner to see that version of the Great Gatsby so spent all but the opening credits in a blissful drunken sleep.
for years the media has treated him like some dear old uncle/comedy relief type character. Which has enabled what he always is and has been - pure hate. Thank fuck we have no trump equivalent in Australia, god know what havoc they would wreak with a compliant and enabling media
my experience is purely through social housing but almost none of the people I have encountered who support the victims of family violence are white men - a cohort that dominate the ranks of police. Law enforcement (as its name suggests) is not structured to prevent violence or protect victims
i seem to recall that a high proportion of the anti-vaxxer dan hating freedom fighter cookers (and there is a fair overlap) were self funded retirees
the final tally was 100% of attendees were gutless brainless dickheads
A cock in a frock on a rock was Priscilla queen of the desert.
Yes but is she biodynamic?
I'm waiting for conservatives to somehow blame school shootings on people doodling with chalk on sidewalks
Conservatives believe that the thugs in masks are the ones doing God's work
This is exactly like that weird dream I had of being called into my boss's office
In waiting for someone in this administration to come out and say that the AI is fine and trans people are to blame
Everytime I get a WhatsApp message from someone messaging me "by mistake" I have fun fucking with them for a while but eventually delete/block/report it.
Donald, wave to prove you're alive!
It could be the result of years of having his hand slapped away by melania
Anyone else spewing this violent hateful shit would be dismissed from their job immediately but in politics there is no standard of behaviour against which MPs are held to account whereas their thin skin and our defamation laws means everyone has to watch what they say in reply
Defamation laws in Oz are a joke AND the patriarchal English common law legal system that applies it still treats rape victims as perpetrators if they fail to meet legal standards of what people should do or say, even after sexual assault. Behavioural standards that are never applied to politicians
and the shit they peddle is regularly amplified by the murdoch media
@thelouvreof.bsky.social I think you are missing out on some masterpiece responses for you galkery
She exercised her legal right to silence during her trial. As she is entitled to. I am also entitled to ignore anything that comes out of her lying fucking mouth if not cross examined
Now this is a great Gene that should be celebrated š
in case anyone wonders why Trump loves/admires Putin, this is it. The government will not benefit, it will be him personally.
"critics warn"??? what sort of shit is this? THIS IS AUTHORITARIANISM
one of the best (and most underrated) albums of the 00s
Woman who facilitated abuse of hundreds of minors by Epstein and denied it happened or that she was involved also denies this other guy did anything wrong
it is only very early stages when you have nothing and are fishing for something (anything) to pin on someone the president hates
this from someone who has a record of being told by several members of the judiciary that she can't do her job properly
Yety another war crime. Article 54 of Additional Protocol I (International Armed Conflicts) of the Geneva Convention explicitly forbids using starvation as a method of warfare against the civilian population.
Crazy people yelling at you? He's talking about his boss right?
before i watched i was going to say he should move to Melbourne but he beat me to the punch! He made ricky stanicky here which was pretty bad and an example of how tax breaks for movies produce very dodgy products but this slightly redeems him in my eyes
Male abusers always plead mental health issues when they get found out. Another failure to walk the talk from the #AFL
it seems the strategy of selling millions of sets of white sheets and pillowcases backfired
they are doing what anyone else would do when they are never challenged or questioned. Just keep ramping up the bullshit to higher and higher levels to suit your purposes. The media is now almost exclusively made up of consertvative quislings or gutless wonders who don't dare call them out
AI is making things worse. In a professional setting no one reads long documents anymore, they just get an LLM to summarise it for them, so reading comprehension and writing (without AI) is getting worse.
Wait til you see the chart of the electricity generation capacity these data centres will need
no woke, go broke
in a red hot field this person has defied the odds to be in the running for dumbest take of 2025
It's been a while since I was lawyer but isn't this the exact instance of when a writ of habeas corpus should be used
So many current day right wing nut jobs, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists etc. started life as garden variety influencers or social media personalities. At some point they all made a choice to feed the algorithm and generate views and responses as their ultimate goal
I'm picking up my dogs tomorrow after not seeing them for 30 days whilst on an extended vacation and it's made me realise how dependent I am on them to stay sane and not be perpetually angry
Hi can I have some stain remover please? I work in an ice cream parlour
it's an insulting response to someone posting a long written analysis with a great deal of detail and nuance (which they obviously didn't read because there are many points made in that piece)
The real scary part of this is that the people doing these jobs are chugging down this maga Kool-Aid by the gallon and believe all the bullshit that the government is feeding the people
Itās waaaay over the top. Itās not like he was packing sourdough baguettes
I think the thing that blows my mind the most is the overlap between the demographic that thinks this and people who spend all their time listening to true crime podcasts about how some non-descript nobody murdered 100 people and buried them in their yard without anyone noticing
This move by the president could really help the housing crisis. Once all the criminals have been removed from DC there will be lots of empty space in the white house for them.
It shows you what a useless dumb fuck this idiot is. Banks donāt invest in shit. They lend. And with as little to no risk as possible. If they were investing they would suffer losses. Their debt write offs are minuscule. And they are underwritten by govt. Better to nationalise them
Which all seems to suggest that the weekly data that they are getting must be pretty badā¦
Take your whimsy and get off my lawn!
I feel like this juxtaposition is unfair to bloodsucking ghouls
I think anybody running whose main goal isnāt holding this administration to account and preferably throwing people behind bars should be immediately discounted
During my short Inglourious tenor as a lawyer people asked me how I could defend accused murderers. The answer was simple - if the state wants to put you away for life then they better fucking do their job properly and make sure they have all the right evidence and followed all the right procedure.
The whole point of this bullshit is that conservatives do not want to be confronted with the results of their greed and indifference. They want to pretend poverty does not exist.Very little of what these idiots are complaining of constitutes a crime. We all know where the real criminals in DC are.
Iām sure his mom was not surprised
I bet you if any of these fuckwits get an aggressive cancer they are going to beg the experts to save them
The night of the Hunter has a few candidates for this, thanks to the genius of Charles Laughton
Seriously? Trickle down economics?? Thatās your earth shattering pearl of wisdom. Thatās hilarious. Iāll make it easy for you. Give me one example where that has helped the poorest and most dispossessed. Take your time.
Client approaches you for āinvestment adviceā, turns out they have shitloads of physical cash in Dubai they need to launder. (They are an Eastern European arms/oil dealer)
Itās actually pretty tame by Antonioās standards
No problem. Iām sure Americans will be queuing up to work in iPhone factories
Sitting here in the Sicily sun (re)reading about the great King Roger - polymath, scholar and statesman whose rule and works are admired to this day almost 1000 years later. I dare say todayās despots with their tiny minds and non-existent vision will be barely a footnote in history in 1000 years.
AI is basically Theranos. It is presented as this incredible technology that would do everything but behind the scenes the are people doing stuff the same old way and hoping that the tech will eventually catch up.
I got a nanny cam for my dog who had separation anxiety. I made the mistake of using it once to tell him it was okay and I would be back soon and now instead of howling at the window he looks right into the camera and howls.
An incoming administrator should declare any and all appointments and decisions of this administration ultra vires and subject to immediate reversal or dismissal. Throw out the garbage and anyone stupid enough to put up a fight can have their day in court
The Wiggles aināt got nothing on the Ross Sisters
To this day, I still cannot believe that no need outlet has asked to follow him around a golf course with a camera. Or at the very least ask him what he shot during his last golf game
My Italian migrant household in the 70s and 80s had a dozen people living there and my nonnaās full-time job was cooking and making coffee for three generations of people coming and going all day
Funny how some groups get their very own voice to parliament without having to bother with annoying things like submitting themselves to the court of public opinion. It turns out you just need to be rich AF
To add to this incredible analysis it might also go higher if there are fewer sellers! You heard it here first folks.
Iām driving around southern Italy on vacation with my adult kids and they are sick of me saying how much I miss my dogs š„¹
Not to mention the unspeakable abdominal discomfort if you are even slightly fructose intolerant
targeted violence against the lgbtq community has been happening since forever (including recent disturbing reports of people being catfished and then assaulted using dating apps). Where's their envoy?
Anyone who has ever dealt with McKinsey or BCG or know the people there, understands what dangerous soulless robots they all are.
Like the good ol' days of Mao's China where food production numbers were all made up to show constant increases and it felt and sounded great til everyone realised there was no food and they starved.
i think Linkedin missed a trick in not hiring you
When my kids were little VHS tapes were still a thing. The first video I ever bought specifically for the three of us to watch together was Singing in the Rain. To this day they can still quote most of the dialogue (and lyrics). And to this day I still dream of learning to tap dance
if only you were a serious people like Laura www.dailydot.com/viral-politi...
Not only was that beautiful to read but it also tells you a lot about the mysteries of the human mind and how we need to treat all people with respect.
so 500 is just the front bench?
Backbencher staffers are paid way less than that. Ministerial staffers and senior advisers would be around that mark but if anyone thinks any government minister is across the detail of their portfolio they are kidding themselves. An MO is only as good as the advisers that have the minister's ear
In January 2023 on Truth Social, Trump called John Bolton (after JB criticsed him) a ātotal & unhinged WARMONGERā, who was "one of those very stupid voices that got us into the Middle East quicksand, Seven Trillion Dollars, & Millions of deaths later, NOTHING!ā So yeah what he says means nothing
Cats are openly and blatantly contemptuous of everyone in a non-discriminating way which makes them superior to most humans, especially politicians

The esteemed editors of the WSJ and the entire fourth estate know that the president is driven by his own greed, power/ego and revenge. He does not give a shit about the economy or the American people and will happily burn the country to the ground to get what he wants. But they will never say that
I logged in to Gemini for the first time to give it a try and was surprised to see i already had a search history - it turns out that it had been listening to me singing along with Tunde Adebimpe
what does fascism need to thrive? Nothing. Because law enforcement is always waiting in the wings to do violence and engage in warfare with the very people it is meant to serve and protect.
in high school we called it the "are you looking at me" defence
It's crazy when you look at the final group standings - we only lost one game through the whole campaign and ended it by beating two of the traditional AFC powerhouses.
having gone down the rabbit hole of this account and their timeline the only sane explanation has to be parody.
The world's soup kitchen? Really? I think you can draw a pretty clear line connecting the world's humanitarian disasters with some action by the US and/or its allies
Yes it's time to consign this colonial imperial relic to the dustbin of history forever. Robodebt alone should have seen him removed from office and face judicial scrutiny. Yet here we are hanging some bullshit honour around his neck. Enough. While we're at it let's ditch the monarchy as well
These people need to be cleaned out of the party, they will never mobilize the people required to win an election with cowardly double-dealing bullshit like this
yep comparing any emissions to those released by the most populous country on earth whose manufacturing output is double that of the USA sounds like a totally reasonable basis for comparison
Being a staffer for an MP is one of the most toxic workplaces imaginable. Very few allegations of bullying or harassment see light of day and anything you hear is the very pointy tip of the iceberg.
Applying the maga maxim 'go woke, go broke' to the arts is not one of the dumbest things this government has done but certainly one of the more ironic.
I think my guys have at least 7 or 8 breeds covered between them
It's like Theranos all over again
