Same bullshit as all along. Vic has been leading the economic recovery after COVID, and the only state that has met or exceeded the housing development requirements. MSM been really fucking quiet about all of that. I hope they all get leprosy.

Imagine having a government that wins elections and then fights its enemies and prosecutes the crimes of its predecessors…makes ya think…

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

i can see an argument that at some point mass prosecutions of these guys might actually engender a backlash effect. i think you can just start with a peace deal with iran that involves turning over hegseth to them to answer for the children he killed and then going from there. it will have an effect

I have a lot of respect for a lot of journalists trying to make sense of this week’s events. But what I’ve mainly taken away from the bulk of the analysis is how out of touch most of our media and political class are with the lives of ordinary people

Good point

Exactly, but I reject 'temperature' as a useful construct here. It's about morality. Basic decency. We do not want to stop anyone arguing passionately or even angrily for a cause. Or speaking truth to power. What *is* wrong is seeking to silence opponents and the tactic of dehumanisation. #auspol

If your analysis of the attack on Haines ignores the role played by the Morrison govt (and their allies in traditional media) as they cynically used the Covid pandemic to radicalise a bunch of dickheads to try and oust a Victorianstate govt they didn’t like, then it’s not worth reading.

No matter the motivations of what has happened in Wangaratta, there are certain commentators and politicians that I don’t want to hear a peep out of right now.

Such terrible news and hope she recovers well.. This is what happens when our truly godawful media legitimise cookers bringing noose to parliament as regular mums and dads hurting.

The posts are derogatory to a range of targets, including Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi and Muslim New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Daanyal Saeed reports.

Congratulations ABC for falling for Meta’s cynical deployment of disabled people as human shields for their pervert glasses

*Shocked* that a religious conservative would uncritically platform a fellow religious conservative

the true values of a patriarchal society are revealed in the exaggerated courtesies afforded to wealthy nonces.

This looks great. Wish we had the political will to do it in Melbourne.
