Donald Trump is America's id.

Your country might be great but does it follow Australia’s lead by colour-coordinating its currency with the nation’s favourite snack foods?

More wild budgerigars. Southern Flinders Ranges, South Australia.

Fines should always be greater than any profit gained through illegal business practices. If they can pay a fine and still make a profit, then the fine is too low. A fine that's lower than the profit gained is just a cost of doing business, not a deterrent against lawbreaking.

Got a scam call from "Visa and MasterCard", pressed 1 to get an operator as it's my habit (I love wasting their time). Operator asked "How can I help you?" and I replied "You called me." He asked what the recording was that I heard, and I asked if he knew what company he works for. He hung up.

My favourite Australian animal.

What in the everloving fuck? Why did we even bother voting the Liberals out if Labor is going to pull this shit?

Ban manosphere podcasts and video streams.

Andrews gov handling of Covid was praised by epidemiologists around the world as it saved countless lives Morrison gov, who let Covid spread via Ruby Princess debacle & failed to order enough vaccines, took AUS debt to over 900 billion…leaving AUS with worst debt since WW2 What’s your point, HS?

The Tesla Cybertruck failed Australian road safety standards and won't be sold here. Studies reveal their roofs crumple when drop bears fall on them from overhanging trees.

National Geographic names Melbourne as the best place in the entire solar system. One for the cookers to chew on. www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/best-...

I know how sensible it is to keep cats confined to your property and desexed as soon as it's medically safe, but I do kind of miss having the occasional random litter of kittens show up. Between the late 90s and early 2010s we had three litters from two of our cats. We made sure they all got homes.

I had to unlearn antisemitism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and all kinds of gross stuff my dad programmed into me. Anyone can do it if they have the motivation.

Okay, my curiosity finally got the better of me and I googled that Hasan Piker thirst trap pic. I'm other news, yes, I'm still bisexual. Also, is it warm in here?

I think Trump drank from the wrong grail.

After writing this column, Kogan.com got in touch upset that I didn't point out Kogan subsidiaries did pay tax (assume they mean company tax, they didn't say). Was happy to add it and provide the the full context. We're talking about $1.8bn revenue, about $20m tax... thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

I’m in the Full Federal Court in 11 days seeking a precedent preventing secrecy on the performance of any publicly funded project and allowing the public to have near real time access to cost and schedule info. Who’s against me - every player in the Snowy 2.0 debacle #FOI #auspol

A truly great understated actor, who could convey a huge amount of nuance with a facial expression.

Fucking Tories, selling off everything they can pry loose.

Vision Quest is really good so far, and a great continuation of Wandavision and Agatha All Along. This is what Marvel's TV projects should be doing more of: diving deeply into philosophical questions of identity and meaning. Leave the big action setpieces for the feature films.

This is repugnant.

EA's legacy will always be the excellent studios they've closed down and lucrative IPs they've squandered. What an incredible legacy of failure.

This is fucked.

A reminder, Russia was responsible for the shooting down on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 which killed 27 Australians. And this is our AUKUS partner with whom according to Richard Marles we have "shared values"

Harrison Ford came up with Han replying "I know" and Laurence Kasdan loved it. George Lucas, however, HATED it and fought them on it for ages. It went on to become one of the most loved and quoted lines in the entire series.

This is fucking filthy. Her blood is on jkr's hands.

Oh dear, the slop merchant is losing his taste for slop.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

You wouldn’t hear about SA’s remarkable bipartisan energy achievements from the media inc. @news.abc.net.au. Suspicion, disbelief, avoidance and mindlessly repeating opinion, means SA’s world first 100% solar wind achievements aren’t ‘newsworthy’. Ridiculous reneweconomy.com.au/south-austra...

Look at this proud little cutie! "Yeah, I know, I'm totally adorable."

Feel good hit of the summer.

Here's how you know it's bull pucky: read the small print. (Between asterisks in the alt text)

What would Helen do? 🧡 From my chat with Helen Haines in 2024. No one is exaggerating in saying she is "the best of us" www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/19/h...

Steam will be forced to start actually checking game submissions and enforcing anti-slop rules or else the sheer volume of this garbage will overwhelm the entire system and start costing them real money.
