The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Parties won't change, they have to satisfy the very corporations funding them who are hollowing out this trust. I hope we start listening to the Pococks and Steggals and Wilkies. And we honor Helen Haines by electing more Independents to restore trust in #Auspol thepoint.com.au/new/261021-c...

The curtin_crawley insta account trolling the WA government’s uni merger “plan” is chef’s kiss.

‘The kompromat doesn’t exist to embarrass Trump — it exists to guide him. Mussayev describes it as a calibrated pressure system. When Trump hesitates or veers from Russia’s interests, the FSB lets just enough out to remind him who’s holding the leash.’

"What is the book that will be written on #AnthonyAlbanese 's prime ministership?" #FranKelly, host of The #RadioNational Hour, recently put this question to veteran political journalist #KerryO'Brien. The former 7.30 host's response was characteristically blunt. #AUSPOL #Neoliberalism #Albo

"The culture here is abhorrent … I know the stuff they have been exposed to. Some of them have been touched up; the less pretty ones get verbally abused. Pick your poison."

Attention journalists in #Australia, when a political party - like One Nation - publishes a “cartoon” attacking their political opponents for political gain this is not satire. If you describe it as that you simply don’t understand politics. It’s propaganda. This is basic stuff.

Just found out the awful news about Helen Haines. UK politicians killed in recent years include Jo Cox and Ann Widdecombe. Female MPs are rare, except on lists of MPs targeted by violence.

Kate Chaney is correct. Helen Haines is the best of us.

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

Sky News journalist James Matthews confronted US Defense Secretary and Trump loyalist Pete Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine?”

CURRIE: “.. The macro repricing of energy is now underway. Check out today's move in long dated oil - that's calendar 2027 WTI. .. This is not a transient spike in prompt oil. It's far more structural.” ⛽️

Page One, LA Times: The “AI Employee of the Month”

Investors are losing confidence that revenues from the AI boom can support the vast debt piles financing data centres, driving down the price of bonds backing some of the largest US projects. “Data centre bonds are having their Darwin moment,” said one CIO. Read the story 👉 ft.trib.al/j6Rchmr

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

Intimidating complainants. Disgraceful. "The 47-page dossier, stored on a Google Drive folder accessible to WA Greens and national Greens staff ... was first drafted in 2016 and has been updated in the years since. It sets out ways to shut down media coverage of allegations about Steele-John, ..."

Scarcity strategy ploy to trick everyone

"Increasingly, we see men with massive audiences and considerable cultural capital veer towards a politics that promises to expose the elites and defend the battlers—not realising that’s exactly who they are."

"People want to see politics done differently, that's why instead of shredding reports like other parties, we recycle them." chaser.com.au/national/gre...

Plymouth Brethren Christian leader Bruce Hales says when it comes to the genocide in Gaza, his church “regularly” prays for Israel. “We respect their views” Not even a mention of Palestinians. Peak moral cowardice from a ‘man of god’ 🙄

Let’s see how serious the Greens are in pursuing this #auspol

Italy PM Giorgia Meloni: "I do not miss the Russian tanks in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall." "Surrender is not peace" "What happens in Ukraine does not stay in Ukraine."

Kyla Cobbler ‘shorts at the gym’ #kylacobbler

Yeah, nah, Powderfinger.

Jerry Seinfeld mockingly dancing on stage while a Chicago crowd calls out the slaughter of thousands of kids is just vile. Sardonically bragging 'I'm racist, it's a genocide, I'm into it' and vowing to send their ticket cash to Israel is pure sociopathic scum behavior. Glad he's NO longer a thing!

Former UK Prime Minster Boris Johnson on traitor Trump buying Russian oil: "The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter."

Yeesh. 👀 (Bloomberg) - The most likely long-term outcome of the AI boom will be massive capital destruction in the US, with market share going to cheaper open-source Chinese models, according to Jefferies Financial Group Inc. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

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.

Sophie McNeill also doing the lawd’s work, though calling Christopher Pyne a tool is a terribly hurtful insult to actual tools.
