YES. YES. YES. LISTEN TO DAVID PEOPLE. THE LAST THING WE SHOULD BE DOING IS CUTTING TAXES. I AM GOING CRAZY HERE.

Yep I know no historian that doesn’t want to live in the *present*

Very good stuff in Straying for the Morsel today strayingforthemorsel.substack.com/p/ozempic-th...

Yep. I'm sure Australia's famously responsible media class will behave very normally in the coming days.

@jesseblack.bsky.social was so upset about hearing about Australian politics for two weeks, that I decided to tell him about the time Australia killed 500 million rabbits to cheer him up

Thanks to the very strange person who left their pills on the ground outside my apartment door, leading to my himbo dog being hospitalised

I've promised @jesseblack.bsky.social we'll talk about something less upsetting than auspol next time, like the mass killing of adorable animals.

Just managed to capture and release three bogong moths all without waking my kid, unlocking a level of dad hitherto unimagened

I said hey Josh want to Hear about the time an evil Australian corporation killed an entire town of First Nation’s people. He said “sure”. Truly the man’s one of a kind!!!!

What I find so incredibly frustrating about this coverage is that the same people condemning this as a "national disgrace" would absolutely also condemn literally any step taken to solve it www.heraldsun.com.au/health/wellb...

*tears in my eyes* I love a sunburnt country...

Right now, the PA/Fatah supports a 2SS. Hamas (sort of) supports a 2SS. The Arab League supports a 2SS. The State of Israel unequivocally and very explicitly does not! If you think a 2SS is the best path forward, you need to be focused on bringing Israel in line with the international consensus.

find yourself a podcast co-host like @jesseblack.bsky.social who'll hear you talk about ball-sweat colanders and Great Circumcision Crazes and still come back week after week

You think you know pain? My kids currently watching a french-anime series about magical princesses that somehow went for three seasons. That’s pain.

I get that this is a common belief of a lot of china hawks but why would the CCP risk a destabilising war with Taiwan where an awful lot of people would die when they can just maintain the status quo indefinitely? www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/8cd14b...

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

This week, I tell @jesseblack.bsky.social all about the history of masturbation in Australia and the dark attempts by doctors to "cure" Australians of their desire to masturbate. @tomwalker.bsky.social (as pinhead voice): "we're doing urethral stuff today!"

FMD this is good stuff yeahnah.substack.com/p/is-it-able...

I genuinely feel bad for her, that could be us folks. there but for the grace of god go all poasters

The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour. This is the statement they published on Instagram:

Very much the thesis of @deadbunyipsociety.bsky.social recent episodes on blackface in Australia, only way to stop Australians is to publicly shame them for the practice.

Fuck yeah, a United Ireland in my lifetime!!! www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Most days I don’t mind being a single dad but every once in a while it would be nice to have someone to reassure me I’m not completely insane, you know?

In a similar way Australian society tries to mythologise WWI veterans and I’ll always remember a lad in my class (now famous) getting a weeks detention for changing the section of his school issued diary “for those who paid the supreme sacrifice” to “for those who paid for the supreme pizza”

My dumbass genuinely thought this was just an Australian psychosis

Doctors are actually not allowed to be on time to their appointments. This is something you only learn in medical school for doctors

New Zealand is undefeated for its cool little guys

"fitter, more eugenic" is my favorite Radiohead song.

I am an Australian…. from Massachusetts?

RIP Stalin you would have loved AI images

Episode 38 is the second in our two-parter on the history of blackface, minstrelsy and racist performance in Australia. I wouldn't say it's good....but it's... interesting?

1996 Australian Federal election

There are two positions in Australian public policy: 1. Australia's debt is out of control and should be reined in through cutting spending and 2. Australia's debt is fine. To never be spoken: we should tax more. My kingdom for a leftist that wants to raise taxes www.afr.com/politics/fed...

I will confess I am anti AI, sceptical but realistic. But I had a boring spreadsheet job that would have taken me nine hours of tedious data entry that a colleague did in fifteen minutes. Still hate the idea of people generating text but not much I can do about that

That wielding political power feels fucking awesome. And if you’ve never had a taste or if you’re the kind of person to whom the notion doesn’t appeal, you will struggle to understand why politicians behave the way they do

Hi I’m my slightly unhinged neighbour who enjoyed driving her Corolla down the middle of the footpath at 50ks an hour

Elden Ring. Couldn't get passed the first dude. Happy for you though/ sorry it happened for more successful people

"I ate civilization. It poisoned me; I was defiled" Me attempting (unsuccessfully) to turn a pdf into an excel spreadsheet using AI

I’m glad that there’s been more coverage of this, but I must also point out that we - the actual Lebanese - have been saying that Israel’s goal is to make south Lebanon unliveable for nearly 2 years. I said this myself multiple times. We are simply not believed *because* we are Lebanese.
