My generation had a chance of escaping the Murdoch grip. Then Rupert bought TikTok Unlike a newspaper or subscription TV, social media isn’t seen as inherently biased. Now, TikTok could creep to one side of politics without us noticing.

“Of all the billionaires who could have acquired a stake in TikTok, Murdoch has what is probably the least transparent and most extreme political agenda. It’s not hard to guess what kind of political content will be amplified, and what will be censored.”

Visited the Sir David Stirling memorial today near his family home in Dunblane.

For those of you watching SAS Heroes or who have ever heard of him I recommended visiting the site if you can.

The council aren’t lighting it up at night but it allowed me to get a great shot of the man himself.

After 30 years of using Apple I have to say that the latest updates are the single most boring thing I’ve seen Apple do.

They are no longer a visionary or innovative company. Just a numbers factory for Tim Cook.

Boring as all fuck.

OnlyFans paid $148m in UK tax last year.
Google paid just £128m in the same period.

One is a London-based platform with creators posting from their bedrooms.
The other hoovers up ~£20bn in UK ad spend… then books most of it in Ireland.

Hmm, sounds weird considering Google earns 20x+

What an unmitigated disaster Brexit has thrust upon all of the UK. And now that fannybaws Farage is parading up and down as if he is the new PM already.

Hey Australia, can you take these two fannies back please.

Not a fan of them smashing up our heritage sites. This is Ruthven Barracks. Heritage Jacobite rebellion site.

Pair of influencer bawbags.

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

My theory is that some of the most dangerous people in America are smart, introverted techies who never understood why anyone majored in the liberal arts in college, graduated college and began reading and misunderstanding texts liberal arts majors were taught to read properly, and became fascists.

Hello!! It’s Philips hue 55 inch light system and their HDMI 8k box.

The hdmi cables go into it and it takes the signal and passes it through the lights at the back to match the screen!

Finally set up the Philips HDMI 8K sync box with tv and Dolby Atmos system and … wow.

Oh that’s interesting. Had no idea they did that.

Farmers have $3 million in super?!??

That’s news to me. I thought they were all struggling??

I see the journo/subs at news.com.au can’t tell the difference between Ana de Armas and Jennifer Lopez…

Exactly. Don’t worry about it. Just a small blip in life and you are too good a person for that!

No need to!!!

Australia’s wealthiest 200 revealed, fortunes blow past $667b Despite the odd tumble, the wealthiest Australians are pulling away from the rest of the Rich 200 pack.

Enjoying how the AFR says you can't tax unrealised capital gains in super balances over $3m because it is not real money, and yet boasts about all the unrealised gains of the richest 200

“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD,"

He always ends up telling you what he has been doing. In this case admitting to protecting Putin…

A machete ban will do fuck all.

Invest in community policing and educating the youth on the damage knife crime can do. Bring in knife victims and show how their lives have been fucked etc.

Dungeon Crawler Carl really has been my book of 2024 and 2025.

Fantastic series.

Audiobook is epic.

Ooooh I got the despecialised edition. Looks like it did in cinema in 1980. Fancy a whisky and a watch of it?

Gentle reminder that this was written three years ago and not last week.

And yet the same stuff keeps being spouted by them. They don’t seem to want to listen about the problem.

Detective Comics #1100 is coming! In this special oversized issue of our Eisner nominated series, @mikeljanin.bsky.social and I will be joined by the incredible, @gregrucka.com, Mariko Tamaki, @danpgwatters.bsky.social, @amancay.bsky.social, @bsienk.bsky.social @amartinezbueno.bsky.social

This is for all the Star Wars haters and especially those who hate Kathleen Kennedy

She has produced so many amazing shows and movies and is a legend. I despise the hatred of her out there.

I’m guessing this isn’t Samantha Maiden’s original edit but the sub did a terrible job.

Paragraphs are meant to flow.

If they are going to call community independent candidates 'C200 backed' then surely they also have to call LNP candidates and members 'Gina Rinehart backed'.

Surely - that's only fair?

Also - community independents are mostly community backed #auspol

Hello!!!! Good to see you here

What the actual fuck.

Also red lightsabers are for the sith…

So I just found out the US price for the Philips Hue HDMI Sync is $250 and the Aussie price is $700!!

What the fuck. The conversation for $250 is $390. Nowhere near $700!!

Dutton doing a photo op at the petrol pump, filling the electioneering vehicle, only this time it’s Orange for One Nation with Pauline Hanson’s grinning mug.

Pump it up.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.
