Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Nationalised isn't the actual problem. It's the independence that matters. Here in Australia the federally funded Electoral Commission runs elections but they are fiercely independent with safeguards against interference.

"In a world that has changed so profoundly"

"Europe and the the UK need a new way of working together"

"It is time to exorcise the ghosts of the past"

When you are squeezing lemons, you reach a point where if you just try a little bit longer you will extract just a little bit more
But the smart thing to do is to go and grab a new lemon
Well, the coal lobby is just trying to squeeze out another decade of profits and the L&NP is the juicer

Yeah, nah. Walk backwards into the house and make sure the doors and windows are shut tight!

“The idea that a conservative, anti-abortion bloke rolling the Liberal Party’s first female federal party leader will inevitably bring a poll bounce is just delusional” 🤭

He says ‘it’s locally produced’ Herzog holds a bomb. He says ‘I autographed this one’ On the side someone holds a sign that says ‘Social Cohesion Yay!’

The Prime Minister of Australia and the President of Israel exchange gifts on his arrival in Australia.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Still way more interesting than anything in a News Ltd rag, or wherever Markson is appearing these days.

Catty games in the Liberal Party. Who'd a thunk it?

Déjà poo, same shit different day.

I hope she got the call from my lovely dentist. Unfortunately an old person's rotten old tooth is not nearly as cute as those tiny white things the kids leave for her.

My only Epstein email but it was a good one

Contra to the incorrect report in the Courier-Mail last week, David Crisafulli has not yet moved to reinstate OPV in Queensland, but did today restate his government intends to do so during this term. #qldpol

lotta rich people screaming about government spending. Easy solution, Ted. Stop giving billions of our dollars to expensive schools, franking boomers, and landlords. Nothing more inflationary than free money for the rich who produce nothing but speculation and bubbles.
