A group of white people from immigrant backgrounds have demanded that people like them should "go back to where they came from" chaser.com.au/general-news...
I'm sure he's getting the best treatment the CDC knows...leeches, right?

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.
After seeing the giant pictures of him on public buildings and the insane "cabinet meetings" I'm going with Kim Jong Dumb, or Kim Jong Don I reckon
Gosh. As though we all didn't already know Moira Deeming is scum.
Yeah. But most people find this stuff on Google. And weirdly theyâre sabotaging their own business with AI đ€·
Twice
Gold! Though if he only "met with" them, even in the Thai humidity he'd hardly break a sweat...even if he could
Ah! Is this is why all the SEO shit tells me my sentences are too long? Expressing something complex requires a lot more words per sentence than the SEO fixers recommend. But what if you're writing for people who are able to read, and able to think for themselves?

Who had Brazil on their bingo card for the world's defender of democracy?
They're already in Syria. But yes. Colonial expansionist genocide state.
Australiaâs worst anti-Semitism incidents were directed externally. The perception of home-grown anti-Semitism was thus greatly exaggerated. The need for a self-righteous envoy was thus also overstated.
Exactly. Damages should have been in the $5 range. If that
Letâs all give a slow clap for Linda Reynolds for successfully suing a rape victim - her employee no less - for hurt feelings. Well done Linda đ
Good piece. It doesn't mention that Howard banned certain types of guns (auto-loading ones for instance) that were more likely to be used to commit crimes. Doesn't mean they all went away of course.
Possibly, but much less of a tourist attraction for future generations
People keep blaming the rise of fascism on the books women are reading but you know what I think the real cause is? Giving stupid people's opinions the same merit and consideration as the experts.
Thatâs just wild. Bit of a shame he didnât add some sexism by saying FilipinasâŠbut Iâm just going to assume thatâs what he meant
There are about a billion reasons Iâll never be a billionaire. But the disqualifying, donât pass go, donât collect $200 one is that I suffer from empathy. Ah well. I can live with that
Shit. Sorry to be a downer. I'll go now
My building manager in Bangkok was a Swiftie. TS took a big bribe from Singapore to do all her SEA concerts there. So my poor building manager is trying to afford to get there. Can't afford a hotel in SG so is asking for help to find places in Malaysia and daily transport. IDK, felt a bit callous
My first thought was 'as newlyweds how will they afford their first house?' But...nevermind
Sorry - can't attribute the quote exactly...
"As we say in Germany, if thereâs a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."
Interesting article. But it does ignore the same motivations in Russia and China - currently seeking former glory (and territory). I joked with a Chinese friend that if you want to pick a time of former (perceived) glory, aka the 9-dash line, then China had better watch-out for Mongolian claims.
The Cervantes/Melville collab Hollywood would have wanted
Red lines. My @smh cartoon.
So he *is* a Russian asset? InterestingâŠ
Maybe. I love Europe. (A mythical place with consumer protection and healthcare, and all sorts of good stuff). But its monetary system is a bit of a camel - a horse designed by a committee. That said, Drumpf seems to be doing something nobody thought possible: Uniting them.
Yeah. The world is trying to realign trade subsequent to Trump's daft policy announcements. Still. The US is 20% of the world economy - and its collapse will affect everyone. And that's just trade. Wait until the $US loses its global reserve currency status. That's going to cause mayhem.
Yeah. That's fair.
Wouldnât count on it. Bar the Asian financial crisis all the recessions I remember emanated from the US and its daft regulators. Freedumb!
The IDF is responsible for a fuck-load of âtragic mishapsâ hey? All of them seem to mysteriously result in dead civilians, particularly children, press, and first responders
Yeah. NBN was a farce. Had FTTP in Thailand for nearly a decade...welcome to catching up to a developing nation
Where are the silver bullets when you need them?
On live television for the world to see, Israel is letting us all know that they donât care if the world condemns this or not, they will murder every Palestinian for this land.
Apparently there was a second strike that was clearly aimed at first responders. It's a war crime a minute from Israel right now. Where are the sanctions?
They should have a best genocide denial category at the Walkley's this year
Cycling on a never ending loop the never ending never changing reasons Russia will never end the war...
I used to wonder how so many people didn't get tired of being constantly outraged (mostly about stuff that never happened). I now think that it is a just small minority that buys into it - amplified by the appearance of plurality distorted by our ridiculous media ownership laws
Doesnât help that the countryâs largest ânewsâ organization is nothing but culture wars too
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Mooreâs military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
Wasnât the case in the past, but the MAGA folk seem *very* flexible when in t comes to little things like morals
To be fair, not many ports in either areaâŠ
Yep
Nowhere near enough is being made of Google taking a clear, intentional and planned step into the techno-fascist position on energy and climate It literally came with its own PDF white paper. This is clear and intentional and thought-through. www.desmog.com/2025/08/19/g...
Does Faux News still go with the âFair and Balanvedâ tagline? If so theyâre not lying- itâs very white, and they give sexual predators a platform too. For balance.

You want to be a good navigator between Perth and Adelaide, hey?
Fox News always goes with the best. I mean at least he knows all about this stuff
I was taken from HS to an emergency department choking. They wouldnât even look at me until they knew I was insured. Ridiculous country
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M â 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
Arguably he's one of Labor's best assets.
She's the only person in the US who hasn't seen Trump behave inappropriately. She also says he's really smart and has big hands.
So MAGA's okay with communism up to 10% now? Just checking... edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/t...
Game knows game
Benjamin Netanyahu's attacks on the Australian government risk inflaming antisemitism in Australia. Julian Segal is paid by taxpayers as our antisemitism envoy. Why is she silent?
"Settlers" is quite the euphemism for violent, thieving fanatics, hey?
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Sure, Trump has slashed funding for cancer research which will result in innumerable preventable deaths, but OTOH, this will do wonders for reducing rates of windmill cancer.
Oh I do that. But mainly to stop dickheads barging through from further back
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICEâs time.
"I have an amazing business idea (that has no path to being profitable and will destroy the planet), but I can't make it lucrative (which is different from profitable) without stealing"
They do seem determined to kill themselves. It's just not happening quickly enough, even with RFK Jr on the case

These AI techbros are quite sensitive, hey?
Christian Nationalists' mission to ignore absolutely *everything* Jesus ever said has now been successfully completed.
I lived in the US for 2 years in the '80s. Never really felt unsafe. Even when I inadvertently wandered into a supposedly crime-ridden black neighborhood. I asked for directions and was given them. And a chocolate chip cookie. The amount of homelessness was shocking though These days? Yeah, nah.
The stats say the opposite
Sherry Markson yet again at the forefront of RW culture war BS. Clearly angling for a plumb gig at Fox. Shame (for her) that Fox will be burned to the ground in the revolution.
Very powerful statement by Bob Carr #auspol
Oh god. This thread. Yes, the Mateus Rose bottle with a candle in it. And vintage Para Port.
He's an authentic asshole. That's true
Never remember seeing it drunk, but there was always a rafia-wrapped Chianti bottle behind the bar and a bullfighting poster from Spain as well as the Blue Nun. Fun story - Blue Nun is still a thing. Saw a bottle in a supermarket in Bangkok recently...
Aug. 10th Jaimen Hudson "Somewhere over the rainbow đđ» I filmed this last Friday while out on my regular morning Cruise. I had to wait for awhile to get this shot but it was definitely worth it!"
To be fair, the bats and squirrels are likely to get to my fruit before me - had three passionfruit vines once. Managed to harvest two whole passionfruits...
This is a brilliant idea and a very efficient use of public money because, as everyone knows, these things called "gloves" and "shoes" only exist inside the borders of the US and can not be exported elsewhere.
"Flying Cybertruck" rhymes with what I think about anything Melon Husk wants. As in I couldn't give a flying f***
Moderation. And mangoes? Therein lies the problem
That is pretty-much what I've done. I am going to be in trouble if/when my two mango trees start fruiting, however...
I've been told to eat less mango because it's too sugary. This makes me incredibly sad.
On the flip side, how would you possibly know what opinions writers for The Australian have? Don't worry - they'll publish them
Any time I can be of assistance.
That headline was written with just a soupçon of glee.
"Woke" is thinking slavery is bad. And they are pushing an "anti-woke" agenda. Anyone having trouble deducing what that means?
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
1. History isnât there to be liked or disliked. 2. History is there to be learned from. 3. History offends you? Even better. Then youâre less likely to repeat it. Itâs that simple.
Banana republic
Yeah. But as I feel I was being unkind to Las Vegas whorehouses, that's a bit mean about Liberace.
There's probably more than a few tech start up bros and billionaires who would categorise reintroducing slavery in the US as 'disruptive innovation'
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
He wants museums to highlight "the Future"? Okay, how about some displays about failing to learn from history then? Trump's a jenius at learning from history
"Just because he is credibly accused of committing a genocide, doesn't mean his feelings are any less valid" said one newsroom editor. chaser.com.au/general-news...
