Reminder that the latest official Australian net immigration data is nearly 9 months old (below). You are being extensively lied to about it, by both sides. (ABS population change data is published quarterly with ~ a 6 month lag. The next issue is due in 2 weeks: www.abs.gov.au/statistics/p...)
better than the I Ching!
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
There are only 2 times to drink champagne, before 4am and after 4am
Balance in some measure to that twisted guy who emailed that threat. What a good day
And nyc adjacent lil Richie Torres (and why do some adult males use the diminutive version of their name?)
I have never seen a single news article about whether or not Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer or Kristen Gillibrand need to assure Muslim New Yorkers that they're against Islamophobia and anti-Arab / anti-Asian bigotry
In the USA this platform lets progressive messages flourish. #auspol #nzpol
This guy is drilling down to the actors in some of those white nationalist rallies recently These violent thugs should be named. 👇

Wanna bet the ABC will still plant her ass on that couch for many, many episodes to come?
only @dieworkwear knows for sure
Now that they've committed an act of terrorism at a spiritual site in Australia, it's time to kick out the Neo-Nazi ambassador (Sky News)
If Lina Khan ran for Congress she'd be like instantaneously one of the best MoCs on Palestine no?
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
God damn is he good at this
what we have to shake in this country is the idea that something only has political significance and demands action if Newscorp is in a lather about it. someone really oughta think about leading from a point of moral principle not based on outrunning a hostile media.
Oddly, Augustine has a good explanation for it tho
If Canada and other high income countries are to help the world rebuild from the American destruction of science and public health, we need to first focus on protecting our democracies from the far-right. We need to get serious about the growing extremist movements inside our countries, now.
At least he's narrowed it down to "the West". Last time he went banging on about this is was a threat to all of humanity. Give him a few months and it'll be narrowed down to Texas.
Since he provides no reason for others to be cautious I assume it's just a personal fear.
Modern progress took off in the 'age of enlightenment' when God was removed from earth and sent back to some transcendent heaven. The further away God is, the more progress we seem to make. Why your caution?
Let’s see if ABC, after apologising for regular couch sitter Sam Maiden’s lies on #insiders gets invited back. I’m not a betting man, but…
First reasonable bill those yobs have introduced in 20 years

This is breathtakingly bad journalism from the national broadcaster. Probably caused by not having enough time, not enough editing, not enough ... god knows what I give up good lord. 'Undertone'. Wowww.
Benjamin Milikowski was his birth name
bfd Try printing news
Note about the racist marches yesterday (with actual Nazis!) and the conspicuous silence from the antisemitism alarmists: if the enemy of your enemy is a racist, and you have somehow concluded that that makes the racist your friend, congratulations you are a racist too.
Her organisation has a website that has a form where you can submit an enquiry. You know what to do

This. This alone should drag that pig of a prime minister down
What Trump said, as I recall.
Here's the form to contact the office of the special envoy to combat antisemitism. You know what to do.

Bet he was going for Freemanontheland but the Registrar said that was already taken
That’s speers’ job, you’re fine
Your stuff is almost always hilarious
Starmer is simply not the man to respond to this dangerous moment in history. Labour must get rid of him.
Bill Cassidy is a physician who is being humiliated daily by Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s craven prioritization of his own power over the health and safety of his constituents and of the United States of America. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s powerlessness to stop him.
As they bloody well should be
Nothing says "master race" like cheap sunnies, Kmart shorts & a criminal record. #auspol

And he’s a”hypnotherapist”, or what we used to call hypnotists. Then they did psych majors

Genocide Julian? Julian is “incandescent with rage” because he believes we should condone genocide. Australians can discern the difference between Australian Jews and Israel, we don’t need Julian to oversee us. #AusPol
"We’re all bloody boat people," Mr Hawke said. "That’s how we found the place." #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Wow!
Sam Maiden, thanks for the complex background to Bob Katter, but he’s an adult who bears responsibility for his behaviour, and if he is so troubled by this aspect of his identity, he should get proper help and not make others carry the cost. #insiders
Trump's under-secretary for defense, Anthony Tata, calls Obama a 'terrorist leader'. What would you expect from a guy who grew up being called Tony Tata in school?
I actually really love finding out so getting to fuck around beforehand is just a bonus
This lucky salvation was cheaply purchased

This is what I mean when I talk about how Google is actively deciding to bake energy-intensive text generation into the basic infrastructure of the internet. They are *choosing* to make the digital world absurdly, eye-wateringly more energy hungry whether you request it or not. And it'll get worse
Gotta admit, McCardle is nothing if not transparent
Of course it was farce, don't you agree?
Sedona? Strikingly beautiful, wherever it is
Albo will clutch his knees and rock back and forth
French politics gonna get messy, maybe in a few days
People who followed me in mid-2024 already know I follow French elections very closely; and it’s possible there may be new parliamentary elections this fall as the government is about to collapse next week. So we just got a first poll of a possible election… and it’s predictably messy. (1/?)
“Felicia” Tough crowd
REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social: “People want to give thoughts and prayers after a shooting, but it’s a form of theological malpractice when you pray for something you have the power to change.”
Footage found on a downed russian "Gerbera" drone's camera shows the drone being tested at a Chinese factory - Ukrainan media reported.
His post was not a job application, Brain-trainer
admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it.
You are so into it. The comedy around this is hilarious
Back in those days, in what we called America,congress or SCOTUS, or worse - the dreaded Deep State - would have put a stopped to it.
Frankly, I’m starting to review that chapter while I still can
Re: #ausol : katter’s lebanese heritage has been the subject of J Schlossenberg’s memes (he’s JFK’s super cool meme-able grandson, and now this hilarious take 👇 vt.tiktok.com/ZSAXR5StH/
Even here in Australia you have our admiration. I’m not a believer but it’s so easy to say god bless you
@chuckborges5.bsky.social is a hero!!!! I have a thank you post on my page for him if you want to say thank you!!!! But definitely go follow him!!!!✊✊✊
I’ll never forget that day I was young enough that I thought that dropping some acid would solve the problem
Y’all these paintings of natural everyday images is what we need now. It’s not just red pandas on a swing. We need hooman perfection
Post more. Even stuff you are not personally proud of. Give us the torrent
astonishingly beautiful
Butler has been as strong a purveyor of crushed hopes in health as Wong has been in foreign policy. (we always knew Marles was a dick, so no change there)
hilarious
sorry to post reddit but I’ve laughing at this for 5 business days
oh, please. do it the hard way. tear up the fucken street to own the queers. that would be so hilarious
maybe we should start characterising this rally as an exercise in violent anti-semitism???
could we all just agree to keep acting like he's dead from now on, no matter what, can we Sixth Sense him please
unsurprisingly that the reps from NC who are doing this (3 of them so far) are all women
The owner of a local sports franchise in LA wants to build a cable gondola to get people from downtown to Dodger Stadium w/o having to deal with traffic. Widespread objection, of course, with threats of vandalism if the project proceeds. So this suggestion seems reasonable:
it was unspeakably vile. the guy is a violent 'punch a nazi' type who, in his bio, says anyone who is not like him 'deserves to die'. easy block, esp since i'm a last-word freak
we live in just a weird info environment
Why would you even think of calling Fiona such a vile thing? Your hatefulness says everything about you and nothing about her. Did your parents abuse you as a child? Does that explain you?
or maybe the Netherlands. Thinking the town of Den Haag would be convenient because if anyone who showed up for UN meetings the ICJ had indicted would not have to pay much for the cab ride to prison.
...but also, he is not always the person who writes what is posted under his name (for instance, some posts have no spelling errors or all-caps words)
Harsh the buzz. There is absolutely no official anything about Trump-dead. My take is that people have woken up so many mornings, grabbed their phones to check the headlines, that it reached one of those cultural moments where it just bursts through.
