I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
Good on Victoria!
stranger@strangerous.bsky.social · 3d agoVictorians turn out in massive numbers to denounce Pauline Hanson’s “racism and fascism” — swarming her fundraiser to demand she get out of the state.💥 This should be the greeting she gets everywhere she peddles her hate. Well done Victoria. #auspol
Tim Costello shocks the Senate after revealing a young man in prison who had his life turned upside down from gambling was being offered drugs & escorts by TAB & SportsBet as inducements “He was given escorts” & “asked, ‘what drugs you like?’” And we’re still just debating ads?
I find it hard to fathom how... what's the right word, cooked? pulled? fucked in the head? ... some farmers are. Generate and sell power, plus shade for crops and pastures... Win win baby. Why so anti?
Anthony B,@swearyanthony.bsky.social · 3d agoThe "renewables vs agriculture" argument is of course, completely ass backwards. See for instance here. Solar panels help crop growth energiesmedia.com/solar-panels...
100 times this. Everyone knew. Everyone. Going back years, going back years before 'Jonestown', going back forever. I'd add 'sport' to 'politics' and 'showbiz' as well.
Kent Parkstreet@kentparkskeet.bsky.social · 3d agoEveryone in politics and showbiz knew about this. They were all complicit. For decades. Those who know and have the power to act, but don’t act, are part of the crime. #AusPol

Howard’s big idea is to call migrants “New Australians” again. I wish I was joking.
Greg Jericho@grogsgamut.bsky.social · 4d agoOh piss off. You are only worried about how hollowed out your beloved Liberal Party had become. You look upon your works and despair. Go rot.

Lockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not
There is zero reason for the Govt not to ban pervert glasses except for cases where they have been prescribed for medical reasons (ie assistance for those with vision impairment).

This is a mind blowing number of airbnbs. “Ms Rowe said there were 49,985 short-stay listings across the state compared to 22,347 long-term rentals. “The Mid North Coast had 4,676 Airbnb listings to 584 long-term rentals and the Northern Rivers… had 5,303 Airbnb listings and 393 ongoing rentals.”
Imogen @imogenib.bsky.social · 4d agowww.abc.net.au/news/2026-08... In NSW there’s far more AirBnB’s than there are long term rental listings. The numbers are staggering. And residents are being pushed out for short term profits and those enjoying their holidays with homes to go back to. These are creating #homelessness. #auspol 🤬
