Drop dead or find a healer. I do not wish to be bothered.

Back in Melbourne

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

Truely a sign of the times that we have downgraded from champagne to shrimp

what a useless shitbag

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

That booing on ANZAC day was terrible says the RSL - so we are going to give in to it and let local RSLs cut the welcome to country. The worst response to ugly racist meanness. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

RSL to review Welcome to Country policies after Anzac Day booing

RSL Australia will review its Welcome to Country guidelines after Indigenous elders were booed during Anzac Day services across the country.

because that's how everything works now. If something happens that is inconvenient for your political beliefs, it's fake news, an AI hoax, a false flag, etc. Liberals and leftists do this less often than conservatives, but the gap is closing fast

I don't get why a bunch of people on BlueSky instantly concluded this assassination attempt was fake? I mean, like, I guess it could be, wouldn't be the strangest thing to have happened ever. But probably not, surely? What would even be the point of that? Just - why the weird conspiracy brain stuff?

For every $1 put into the NDIS, the economy gets a return of $2.25 For every $1 put into Defence, the economy gets a return of less than $1 Cutting the NDIS isn't just cruel — it's illogical and damaging *According to a study done in the US by RAND in 2021. www.rand.org/pubs/researc...

How Does Defense Spending Affect Economic Growth?

Prioritizing defense spending over infrastructure investment might undermine economic growth. Given that the size and health of the U.S. economy are ultimately the basis for the nation's military powe...

Here’s a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.

Emphasis matters.

Having the realisation that there is no way (without an ev) to travel between the capital cities without fuel... Unless there is an electric coach service I am unaware of

I'm happy that the bombing will stop for 2 weeks, and hopefully this will lead to a longer lasting ceasefire but god I want off this ride

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

only the greens can stop reform, a vote for labour is utterly wasted right now, they are collapsing everywhere

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

I can't help but get a little annoyed about how little international attention auspol gets overseas but usually it's understandable, but seeing nothing about the literal visit of the Israeli president and the police response to protests in international spaces is a bit more disappointing.

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

This is the agent that murdered the woman in Minneapolis on 1/7/2026.

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

bari is the standard bearer for the media types who think any journalism that leads the consumer toward a left-wing position must be tempered and balanced until it doesn’t.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

this is a good battle to pick. the CEO mentioned using "AI" and got so much shit for it immediately that he's rattled and backpedaling. easy win there

this shit, despite its faults, is not going anywhere and people are going to have to pick their battles

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.
