This is a good primer on Israel's political situation going into tomorrow's election. But I'd like to go deeper on something he only touches on, which is that part of the reason for Israel's electoral doldrums (and resulting geopolitical chaos) is its broken political system bsky.app/profile/avis...

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

omg read the comments. Liz Truss was undone by the Deep State! There was a Cabal Of Enemies Wot Undone Her! It’s the Bank of England’s fault! She did No Wrong!

One extremely telling bit of evidence, detailed within, is how parental estrangement forums are private and behind paywalls. They don't want outsiders to know their politics. Also, these sites use right-wing media to advertise. Which shows they know who wants this. www.salon.com/2024/12/18/g...

This fuck is running scared of El-Sayed. Terrified. Shitting his pants. Lying. I feel optimism.

But but but without culture war bullshit they have nothing! We can’t expect them to start talking policy, that’s not faaaair :,(

The erasure.

I hope Tommy enjoys his newfound fame as the poster child of being read for filth.

Ann Widdicombe (may she rot), touring a prison hospital, observed a prisoner giving birth and demanded to know why she was unshackled. The cruelty is the point.

I wonder if they'll keep the feature that locks the doors when you drive into a lake

Aw fuck I knew he was a conservative old shit but didn’t realise he’s THIS far gone. Fuck you Cleese, you monocle-popping windbag. What a stupid way to define your legacy.

“The failed presidency of Donald J Trump.” That one’s going to find its target.

Poor Tommy :(

Tom is good people

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

Here’s your nightmare scenario: Dems get house and senate majorities in November, Trump expands the Supreme Court in December.

Brilliant work by @mackinnonart.bsky.social

I went through the WHO Disease Outbreak Notice about the pneumonia of undetermined aetiology in Siberia. SPOILER ALERT: Russia is lying. About what is less clear but I have some ideas 👇 rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-plague...

A hippy I worked with would say ‘Mother Nature has a wicked way with her wand’ and I think that’s about the perfect description here.

Horological nerdery! ❤️

The human being behind the offending is an adjudicated rapist and that’s all the character reference they need.

I love how clearly this shows that Earth and Jupiter have the same ecliptic plane

It’s the 151st anniversary of the birth of Aleister Crowley, the man who—among many, many other things—once put an acrostic in an “apparently innocuous book of devotional verse” which spelt out “The Virgin Mary I desire but arseholes set my prick on fire”

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

Luke the rest of you I see these and don’t listen to them, because he’s vile and hateful and so very stupid. But! Have a listen. Advanced geriatric decay. We know he’s losing it but he’s LOSING losing it.

My man looks like his father relocated his family to South Africa *because* of apartheid

This piece of shit is a piece of shit.

Isn't that sweet? One Rinehart subsidiary purchases a building for the use of another Rinehart subsidary.

Josh Burns: ‘it’s antisemitic of Shoebridge to say the Greens want to work with Jews who oppose genocide.’

‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face’ sobs Jewish lesbian pandering to MAGA populism. Ah well she’ll have to fall back on the cushion of her $100m Free Press buyout, she’s definitely learned her lesson.

The RBA has looked at inflation pressures caused by Trump’s war and data centre construction and decided ‘we’ll control this by making mortgages more expensive!’ Graz, dipshits. Household spending will stutter, businesses will die, and inflationary pressures will be utterly unaffected. Genius.

Japan imports 99.9% of its oil. It has already cut oil consumption in half from its peak. It knows what it must do to go further: move from hybrids to pure electric. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Hangtime is the study of the time interval between first public notice of a rising right/MAGA/manosphere influencer and their first rape/sexual assault indictment www.thebulwark.com/p/scoop-look...

I have Strong Opinions about trans folk saying ‘don’t vote for the Dem, they’re imperfect, just don’t vote’ when the alternative is eg Paxton. BUT. I’m cis. I ooze privilege. Ooooooze it. I trust trans folk, no other choice.

No one does a better Trump

I am SO here for this

Update on G&T: yum

Christians are weird as fuck.

Praise and shade Benjamin Franklin wrote this to Arthur Lee on 3 April 1778, but apparently never sent.

In news that surprises nobody, the royal commission into antisemitism was a flaming pile of shite from the second it was called and its ultra right wing chair Jillian Segal, who funds Advance Australia, is a bit dishonest. But true evil is talking about the Gaza genocide.

Only way to truly have an impact is hit ‘em in the wallet. Six months? Meh. $10 million? Now they’re worried.

I have acquired gin. I have acquired tonic. I have pluckethed lemons from ye lemon tree. I have BIG FAT ice cubes. Official Saturday commences in 20 seconds when this G&T hits my gullet 🥳

This is the madness of an echo chamber. A mass of replies that no, actually, we don’t want the Texan Republican to win but what we REALLY want is the Texan Democrat to lose, coz he failed this one single purity test. Paxton is immeasurably worse than Talarico on trans rights, but don’t vote Dem!
