it's the end of the world as we know it (and i'm not fine)
Gee, I wonder who Pauline Hanson would push for to head a Royal Commission on net zero climate policy and energy transition? A conservative jurist, economist, or policy figure? An environmental scientist? Certainly not an industry or resource sector figure who recently gave her a plane. #AusPol
A version of #SamWood exists in every man's friend group. You know him. You just thought of him. The man who jokes about strangling his wife to death while the men around him say nothing, because he's a good guy, really.
Every woman knows a woman who has been s3xually assaulted, but no man knows a r4pist. Men "can't even say hi to women anymore?" Honestly, try harder. #Cornell7
Reading @naomiaklein.bsky.social's The Shock Doctrine (2007) for the first time in 2026 feels like watching an episode of Black Mirror. Or experiencing a temporal anomaly where you're simultaneously experiencing the past, present, and foreseeable future all at once.
Convince #EdSheeran that everything is political in one minute or less. @natogreen.bsky.social
Do politicians think sucking up to these broligarchs by greenlighting AI data centres and throwing the gates open for them to steal all our content will get them on Zuckerberg, Thiel, or Altman's apocalypse bunker invite lists? 1/2 #AusPol
In today's episode of The Cognitive Dissonance Is Real: #ElonMusk threatening legal action over the documentary that's been made about him. This from the guy who loves loudly proclaiming free speech and who bought an entire social media platform so he could say hateful shit on the internet.
Bit worried about Albo's memory if he can't remember a club he's been going to for decades. Remember when he attended a pro-Palestine rally and condemned Israel in a speech to Parliament in the early 2000s? Yeah, he doesn't either. #AusPol
Prediction: Leftist millennials (I won't presume to speak for our generational successors) will increasingly preference LNP ahead of ALP in future elections, not because we're becoming more conservative as we age, but because if I have to eat a shit sandwich, I want to know it's a shit sandwich. 1/2
The thing that frustrates me the most about men like Angus Taylor is that quite often they can accurately identify real problems men face, describe the consequences of the patriarchal system that is crushing them, only to take a hard right turn at the finish line to blame women – 1/2 #AusPol
Winona, Minnesota, sawed off and stole every last one of their #Flock cameras in a single night. Not all heroes wear capes, some just have an angle grinder in the back shed.
Watching news footage of Donald Trump is like watching a bad sitcom, complete with canned laughter. Viewership is strong, but ratings are down, and we're all hoping it doesn't get renewed for another season.
@karenattiah.bsky.social and @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social spoke truth to power – and power lost. A reminder to us all that courage and conviction make us women who win. #journalism
Washington Post ordered to rehire Karen Attiah after Charlie Kirk posts

I want everyone to really sit with the fact that the Australian Labor Party CHOSE to make the lives of disabled Australians harder instead of: 1/4 #AusPol
Still waiting to hear from the government on how kicking disabled people off the #NDIS will address fraud. 1/2
I see Penny Wong has graduated from finger wagging and deep concern to finally being outraged. Maybe she should try, I don't know, actually doing something about it? But she's right. We should be outraged. #AusPol 1/4
Pauline Hanson is not the same politician she was 30 years ago. Every time she makes another despicable comment, the media lets her get away with acting like it's her first day on the job. She was a racist then, and she's a racist now. 1/2 #Auspol
Next time a man on the right says something that fills me with rage, I'll just remember that he thinks washing his ass makes him gay.

Cute that "Protect" Mardi Gras thinks they know better than 80 years of social movement research, which consistently proves that trading grassroots solidarity for police, politicians, and corporate cash strips communities of any real power to demand systemic change.
Two Sydney Mardi Gras board members removed after months of disputes
Damien Nguyen and Luna Choo from Pride in Protest were voted off the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras board by a 70 per cent majority.
