The mental image this evokes is a compelling one

Reposting this since the post-Haines conversation seems to finally be turning to what we think is obvious.

full credit to Pauline, she really leans into the awfulness at every opportunity

Hey google please describe dystopia

Snowy Hydro project estimated cost now $24 billion, only 12 times what the Coalition government said it'd be when they announced it. They should've stuck to not building commuter car parks and shoveling money to corrupt politicians in Nauru, things they were good at.

Turning the temperature down by turning the bald-faced lying up.

Jesus was famously strong on border control.

Anthropic has recorded a net loss of $80.7 billion (AUD$120 bn) in the first half of 2026. In fairness, most of that was a non-cash loss (accounting adjustments), but even the cash loss was $8.7 billion. Its cash burn rate is more than $4 billion per month. Bubble? Gosh, who can say.

The Australian, demonstrating how you bring the temperature down

Judges can take "judicial notice" of uncontroversial facts and circumstances so those things don't need to be proved with evidence; they can't go off on a frolic deciding their own version of history.

The critical defining feature of violence in Australian society is that it is, almost entirely, male. Pointing fingers in every direction (media, social media, gaming, gambling, porn, politics, whatever) will achieve nothing if it isn't also accepted that the problem is fundamentally a male one.

We'll be joining Brittany Higgins, RASARA's Dr Rachael Burgin and journalist Bridget Hustwaite to discuss the issues raised by Jen Robinson's documentary "Silenced". Swinburne Uni, 17 Nov.

War has always been an excuse for human depravity. But when war crimes are committed by artificial intelligence, who faces legal culpability? www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/20/a...

If Albo is serious about turning down the temperature he will finally take himself and his government off X. If he doesn't, he's not serious.

It's hard to fathom why any American wouldn't instantly recognise this as solid evidence that their president is an asset of a hostile foreign power, or indeed why our own government continues to pretend otherwise.

To support One Nation, you don’t just have to be racist, you have to be generally devoid of decency

Racists always understand absolutely nothing about history. France invented public rioting in the modern world, and exported it to its colonies.

We're talking about the Herzog protest and the LECC's inquiry into police violence starting today

“At present, public school education is partly a training in class prejudice and partly a sort of tax that the middle classes pay to the upper class in return for the right to enter certain professions” George Orwell, 1941 (English “public” schools are private schools)

Mindless malice.

dammit, janet has nailed it - again!

We're squarely in mad king territory now

Buying oil from the enemy, that’ll teach’em

America is in that part of the historical cycle where words and books are banned but executions are good clean entertainment and everyone is pretending not to notice the national leader eating his own poo. If only history offered a guide for where this all leads.

The bubble is deflating

Disgusting, depraved behavior by the state that our government continues to embrace.

Albo’s bloody loving his time at the pre-COP conference

We don’t think the case for this has been made. One constant in the global history of policing is that every weapon given to cops, they will eventually use. Therefore, every force escalation requires compelling justification.

What a beautiful story of the arc of redemption.

This will be remembered as the Sloppy Age

The Oz piles straight in before Mehreen has even declared, just to remind her what it'll do to her if she dares.

The difference between AI and social media is that one was created by men who decline any responsibility for the damage it wreaks, and the other was created by men who decline any responsibility for the damage it wreaks. Hope that’s cleared it up.

Google is updating its satellite images of Gaza. The comprehensiveness of effort required to reduce an urban landscape to this is beyond imagining. Literal carpet bombing.

The PM of Nepal is our new hero. Apart from dropping climate truth bombs in the UN General Assembly, he looked like a latter-day Black Panther.

What a firebrand, he really took it up to them

If you were wondering how bad things are about to get, the answer is very bad.

Among the delegations who didn't walk out was the Australian one.

Man allowed to address UN General Assembly while subject to an arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges, sure why not

Opinion | As much as we pretend otherwise, Australia's immigration debate is never about the numbers, argues Michael Bradley. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/24/i...

We have a new website! marquelawyers.com.au

The Knesset (Israel's parliament) elections panel has voted overwhelmingly to exclude all the Arab majority parties from participating in the upcoming national election. The decision will be reviewed by the Supreme Court. We couldn't possibly suggest that this sounds a little like apartheid.

…and anti-Muslim bigot; being dead doesn’t make him a good guy

"always good". is it. really. interesting.

He isn't expecting different results. He just likes his new friends a lot.

Gaslighting on the global stage, onya albo

Exciting moment for TRIUMPHAL ARCH enthusiasts everywhere

The thing about the Howard-era ministers is that they've never realised how much their own instinct for technocratic cruelty influenced the national attitude to migrants and refugees, leaving a lasting residue of nastiness.
