If John Fetterman hates being a senator so much he can always—and should—make his way to the nearest exit door. He is a public servant, not an indentured one. Bye!

Yn a worlde where the humanityes are being systematicallye defunded by both the righte and the lefte, the internet ys one big seminar about the meaninge of *The Odyssey.* Ther ys a lesson yn thys somewher. And the lesson ys: funde the humanityes.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is very well read. I wonder has he seen this new title?

Good morning! Yarmouth Bar, Nova Scotia just after the moon rise photographed by James Stenabaugh..

Matt Canavan at NPC asked how he plans to win back Teal seats & be able to form govt with his anti-Net Zero, anti-renewables agenda, says the focus won’t be “on winning seats” — “if we focus on winning, we’ll miss the mark.” Way to go, Matt, stay focused on losing 🤣🤦‍♂️ #auspol

It was David McBride who blew the whistle, triggering the Brereton report & laying the groundwork for Ben Roberts‑Smith’s charges. The thanks he got was jail, while war criminals roamed free. It’s about time Roberts-Smith is put away for good, but McBride must be released.

Sir J. Minnes came to me and staid half an hour with me in my office talking about his business with Sir W. Pen, and yet he told me freely how sensible he is of Sir W. Pen’s treachery in this business. All this I am pleased to hear that his knavery is found out.

A heavily redacted cartoon. My @smh cartoon.

Creepy racist scumbag JD Vance: “If we're trying to find a sex offender, tell us where the guy lives.” He lives in the bulldozed White House and crime hub Mar-a-Lago. If you need more of a hint, he’s your fucking criminal boss.

Make it viral.

Home, and there fell to the renewing my last year’s oaths, whereby it has pleased God so much to better myself and practise.

And how did that work out?

Fine. Give us the Epstein files in Times New Roman, then.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Crikey News has reported: Nine's The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald scrubbed references to Gaza and Palestine from their published version of a Walkleys speech given by Kerry O’Brien last week. Censorship is complicity. 😠 #GazaGenocide #JournalismMatters #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

David Rowe recognition.. Financial Review

The WA Museum Director's letter to staff defending the Woodside partnership contains a grab bag of climate action delaying arguments. He goes: we all burn fossil fuels after all. Classic blame shifting away from companies. Blaming people for existing in a world they want to change.
