v1.111 is live today!
We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.
Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

All violence is abhorrent and I absolutely condemn the shooting of Charle Kirk. Full stop. That said, he did not do the same when he was alive.

Where’s all the hysterical media coverage on the violent Neo Nazi hate crime against First Nations people at Camp Sovereignty? Gone quiet now. Is that because it’s not at a synagogue?

During Wednesday night, Israel bombed several villages in South Lebanon. No military targets. No warning. No justification. Lots of video of this. Yet no reports of this on our Australian ABC News website. Why no coverage? #auspol #JournalismMatters #IsraeliWarCrimes #LebanonUnderAttack 🇱🇧

“The irony of course is that the US has always maintained a position of 'strategic ambiguity' about what it would do in the case of China invading Taiwan. Yet now it is pressuring Australia and Japan to say what they would do”

China was the big disruptor in our region. Now the US is determined to take that title
Just as Australia is asserting that its national interests are different from those of both China and the United States, it seems the US may force us into a choice we don't want to make.

I like Finland 😎
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

America is surely the poster-child for the notion that humans are incapable of learning from history, or true philosophical growth. It's 2025 and, for the most part, that nation is as ignorant, arrogant, bigoted, pretentious and neurotic as ever they were. There is no cure.
