Last year, Hegseth abruptly removed Nancy Lacore from command. No public explanation was provided. Afterwards, she ran for office and has flipped a seat in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. She will now have the constitutional authority to investigate and oversee his department.

It's a conundrum all right. Be a better option for a relationship than a fictitious monster, or complain? Modern men are having to make some very difficult choices, poor things.

Pete Hegseth wanted people to watch a public execution, well they're seeing it tonight.

Today should have been my friend Anthony Horan's 60th birthday. Tragically, he passed away in early 2022. This is a song with a few in-jokes (lyrically and musically) about our friendship over many years. All Bandcamp proceeds will be donated to Support Act. popau.bandcamp.com/track/hypers...

Knowing that Australian electorial trends generally run 4-5 years behind the US and that we are on the precipice of an election cycle where a whole load of right wing deadshits are about to be voted in, it’s bolstering to see all these oxygen-sucking chuds being blown away, they’re never forever

Today it's not a doomscroll, it's a schadenfeed.

Ok you got five whole minutes of joy. So help me this win means nothing unless you do something with it

NBC estimates Dems will not only take the House, but take 244 seats. That’s more than enough for Dems to have subpoena power, meaning they’ll have the ability to conduct oversight investigations into the Trump admin

and that was freaking Dust Bowl

Australian white ibises are often (unkindly, I think) called bin chickens. They are quite magnificent in flight and prehistoric looking close-up. And, before someone says it, these are related to but different from the African sacred ibis. #birdsseenin2026

Lloyds’ bank's profits doubled to £2.3bn as mortgage rates were increased to 6%, while Shell doubled its profits to £8bn as fuel prices were increased 40%. Do you see now that the cost of living, is just the cost of billionaires?

The kids hating AI and the gen pop hating data centers, I can promise you that this literally never happened when Silicon Valley was making big leaps and bounds in the 90s tech scene. Email worked. Search worked. Message boards worked. It wasn't some nebulous snake oil looking for a purpose.

"Do you think that the construction of new data centers is..." Bad: 52% Good: 26% Neutral: 14% YouGov / Oct 30, 2026

The RBA has just hiked rates to a near 20-year high. This will send living costs soaring and spike unemployment - WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THEY'RE DOING IT! It's absolute madness. If our economy can only be saved by making millions suffer, maybe it's time we built a different economy.

Many conservatives say they support rural communities. But when it comes to a moratorium on critical minerals mining in Victoria, its mostly progressives who have backed the call so far: - Victorian Socialists, - The Greens - independents like Ant Pitt www.melbournefoe.org.au/moratorium_o...
