Kudos to whomever made this video. It's accurately hilarious. 👇😂👇😂👇 (Yes AI slop)

Growth that kills its host isn’t growth. It’s cancer with good PR.

Hope he hasn't... #Defenestration

Greens: This is public land being handed to developers, and Greens believe it would be much better for VIC Govt to build genuinely public housing on these sites, rather than just leaving it up to developers to choose the mix of housing. And once we give public land away, we can never get it back.

Dr Helen Haines is fighting for her life after a horrific car attack, yet media applies no pressure on Pauline Hanson to remove her cartoon of political rivals inc Albanese being mowed down by a car. Political violence isn't satire, it’s dangerous. Hanson should remove it & apologise.

Don't threaten me with a good life!

How did we get here? 🤔🙄

One Nation has been spending a lot of money lately. I took a look at what we know, and what we don't, about where it is coming from and who is involved for @deepcutnews.bsky.social.

Words matter. Not only on social media but in the way MSM platforms idiots to spew their discrimination. The media can’t play the sympathetic soul when it comes to the shocking Helen Haines attack & then promote the behaviour of the haters. Some people respond to the prompts & act accordingly.

Says the media outlet who has been platforming MAGA wannabe, Hanson, non stop and who drove the most deranged personal attacks on VIC premier, Andrews, 24/7 for years Pushing populism and confected outrage for profit has dire consequences

“You are a Christian candidate. Why haven’t I heard you disavow Timothy McVeigh and the Ku Klux Kan? Seems sorta suspicious.”

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

Excuse me sir, do you denounce this brotherhood?

An actual smart TV would raise its volume as soon as you start eating chips. And cut it in half during commercials.

Or, in the old money, 1.36 Scarramuccis...

Shameful shit... 🙄

Australian #physicalmedia fans looking for a mail-order alternative to you-know-who. Outrun DVD is based in Traralgon, of all places. I have ordered stuff from them. They are legit. outrundvd.com.au

Well, if anyone knows about insincerity, it's Nick Cave... 🙄

who could have possibly predicted this

I’m going to refer to religion as Artificial Morality (AM) from now on

Today's mood... 🫩

In Crikey today, I have a long read on Canberra’s endearment with AI and the dubious promise of data centre riches. While Australia’s creatives are being sold down the river, you don’t need to fire up Claude to spot some cracks in the hype-doom sales pitch ($) www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/08/a...

10/10. No notes

he remember when an unarmed bystander wrestled one gunman to the ground and police killed the other one

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

AUKUS critics warn the $500 billion submarine deal is sacrificing Australian sovereignty and social priorities to deeper integration with the U.S. war machine. AUKUS Inquiry exposes the great submarine deception ~ Dr John Jiggens buff.ly/s1tEoNT

To every Australian banging on this morning on talkback radio about wanting ZERO migration, I concede. You can have it. As long as you are ok with the high chance of ZERO emergency medical care when you’re sick. ZERO aged care when you’re old. ZERO fresh food when you’re hungry.

The Reserve Bank hiked interest rates last week - but why? Despite the unusual economic climate, the RBA is just ploughing on as normal, @grogsgamut.bsky.social says. "There seems to be a lack of recognition of just how absurd a lot of what's going on here is." #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4hWT057

MAGA 😎

“Since you guys can’t figure out how to build a sandbox and are now threatening our bag, we’ll do it for you” - Nvidia paraphrased

#FuckTheRBA...

'Power is its own constituency. It exists to protect itself.' Authoritarianism sounds scary, but it arrives bit by bit. We're already doing the work for some grim future. Will be talking about this and more at Sydney Opera House's Curious program this Sunday. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/28/r...

A reminder that this year the unemployment rate has gone up 0.56%pts - roughly an extra 87,000 unemployed. So in 15 min when the RBA raises rates again just remember 35-44yos on Jobseeker are almost 10 times more likely to die than those not on welfare: www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Cap'n Screwworm? 🤔
