dirtbag brain memes - motivates you to work out / once - 7pm yo let's go to bed / 2am hey, let's stay up forever - insists you forgot something / won't tell you what it is - realizes how grateful you are for certain relatives / immediately begins to imagine scenarios where they die - lulling you off to sleep, softly slipping off into OH GOD / oh phew glad you weren't actually falling and slamming into the ground, go back to bed - has the capacity to store and memorize an almost infinite amount of information / won't - passionately hates a song / can't stop singing in your head - convinces you to do something / then makes you feel bad for doing it - recognizes all of its problems / decides to change nothing - chapped lips? / just lick `em, bro

let's bring back one of the classics

The one-man super scheme Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

TAFE Arts Crisis - Fees Skyrocket, Exodus Feared - Tasmanian Times The decision by the Minister for Skills and Jobs, Felix Ellis, to redirect TasTAFE course subsidies was defended as an essential move for “long-term viability” and to better meet the state’s growing d...

“The AEU warned that removing subsidies for 12 courses, including those in the creative arts, will cause a devastating fee hike of up to 5400%, effectively ‘killing courses’ and locking out young Tasmanians.”

Disgraceful decision, must be reconsidered.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

After claiming Commr Brereton rarely provides advice to IGADF, NACC CEO Philip Reed then says it’s going to “take some time” for Brereton to advise him on how many times he’s provided advice.
Shoebridge “Bcoz there’s so much advice?”
“Those things don’t sit together Mr Reed”💥🙄 #Estimates

The TAS govt has just put fmr minister Roger Jaensch on the committee which is supposed to scrutinise the implementation of the many Commission of Inquiry recommendations … which was Roger Jaensch’s responsibility. #politas
Never change, TAS. This is sure to get to the bottom of whose fault it is.

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Labor during the election: “we’ll fully fund public schools”

Labor after the election: “actually we meant private schools soz”

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Today we examine if Andrew Hastie can save the Liberal party and … no … wait my brain is stopping. I can’t do it | First Dog on the Moon Albo just keeps on winning yet at what cost?

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Two years later:
Everyone got off scot-free, no-one has taken responsibility (or been held responsible), Ashley Youth Detention Centre is still open and will be indefinitely, whistleblowers are still unsafe and ignored, and the TAS government is paying hundreds of millions in compensation for csa

President of Finland Alexander Stubb:

"When we look at war, there are elements of it that are brutal, vulgar, and unethical. But the kidnapping of children, I think, goes beyond all of that. And we have to think that it's not only about the children being abducted⤵️

man, ICE is evil. if you know someone who works for ICE, they deserve to be shamed for that. the same stigma that we have collectively found for people on the Megan's Law list needs to be applied to ICE employees

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

Labor backs Hobart's proposed AFL stadium, despite 'concerns' about cost Tasmanian Labor has reaffirmed its support for Hobart's proposed AFL stadium, despite being "deeply concerned" about cost blowouts — and says the "power" of having a state team in the AFL "cannot be u...

It took the ALP 5 days to write a media statement supporting the Liberal government and the Rockcliff Stadium. Did they even read the TPC report? They have clearly given up on being a serious opposition party. Looking for a greater swing against them next election, i suppose. #nonewstadium

We are spending scandalous amounts of money on useless submarines, but there is exciting news! | First Dog on the Moon When our Aukus subs are finally (never going to be) delivered they will simply be big goofy underwater zeppelins

“If our job as journalists is to hold truth to power, then surely asking legitimate questions – politely – to the President of the United States should be acceptable. But in this day and age in America now, it’s not,”

ABC’s Americas editor John Lyons

Responding to Australia’s national climate risk assessment. Today’s Age cartoon

How much longer can AUS sustain a genuine alliance with this unhinged dictatorship?

Lyons is a real journalist from a real democracy. Trump’s America is fast unraveling into a terrifying tyranny, representing every value AUS fundamentally opposes
