Every day I ask myself, "Can they out-stupid themselves?", and every day I answer, "Yes. Yes they can.".

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

The only way to ensure delivery of the AUKUS subs is to pre commit to using them against our most important trading partner China. Have we already given the commitment to surrender our sovereignty and attack China if the US demands it? No politician has addressed this reality.

At last! An Australian reporter does the public a service by exposing the reality of the crazy AUKUS “deal”. Well done Ben Doherty and the Guardian. Insurmountable legislative, technical, and production problems and a future US President bound to put US interests before ours.

Obvs this was embarrassing and yet another example of Israel turning otherwise sensible people into logic-defying, genocide excusing sycophants. But it's also such a waste of an opportunity. Why wouldn't anyone want to learn from Hedges? The guy has more experience & integrity than almost anyone

Swiss glaciers lost nearly 3% of their volume in 2025, following a snow-poor winter and scorching summer heatwaves. The melt has been so extreme that some glaciers lost more than two meters of ice thi...

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

A few short hours ago, 7 children and 3 women were murdered by Israel when an IOF tank fired on a Palestinian family as they tried to return home in Gaza.

Did you find this news "extraordinarily moving," @senatorwong.bsky.social? Is this the "pause" that induced you to fawn over Trump? #auspol

It’s so hard to get a sense of how big the crowd is when you’re on the ground.

Albanese’s an insular, deeply institutionalised apparatchik who has spent his whole adult life in service to ‘The Party’.
ALP is his principal loyalty & focus - instead of people of Australia.
He is emblematic & stereotypical of the ‘political elite’ & lacks a scintilla of real world life experience

Where is the retribution for Israel breaking the ceasefire? Or are we all just pretending it’s not happening and waiting for Hamas to do something so Israel’s massacre of Palestinians can pick up the pace again?

Never ceases to amaze me how privileged, powerful people get away with wrongdoing. Money talks. And the rest of us are forced to listen. 😔 www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/16/n...

Does the NACC have any hope of regaining public trust?

The NACC has over two hundred employees and an annual budget of over $60m, but has yet to land a single major finding from over 5,000 referrals.

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”
