the “better fash than cringe” reaction has been one of the more significant and widespread poisons of the last decade

"There is something fundamentally anti-human about the transformation of every victory and every misfortune, every event, incident, outcome, opinion, intention, or accident into an occasion for a wager."

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

People should be REALLY scared by this, it's normalising refusing healthcare to a section of the community for entirely ideological reasons with absolutely no medical reason

The Australian government doesn't seem able to say the word "genocide". I'm wondering if they're capable of using the words "war crimes"?

Single panel editorial cartoon. FM Wong is facing a press conference struggling to gather and hold on to everything she is carrying and she says, “Look, for the last time, we’re not involved . . . just considering our options”. There is luggage labelled with travel stickers for Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, an inflatable baby trump, a suitcase full of money, papers that say, defence, trade, protection, secret, weapons industry, Darwin, RAAF Amberley (with a golden key), a bag labelled pine gap, a submarine under the arm labelled AUKUS, five eyes on stick and a surveillance dish.

if dark fictional tropes disturb you, then mute n block. no need to harass anyone. a lot of folks find dark tropes compelling and interesting (myself included) if u can't manage your own emotions n must harass someone to control what they create and fantasize about, that sucks n u should block me

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Australia would be signed up to Iran war ‘by deception and stealth’ if military support sent, Shoebridge says Greens senator sounds warning as Labor expected to announce possible defence measures to protect Gulf countries within days

Former Catholic Right political staffer Melinda Tankard Reist & her astroturfing christian censorship lobby 'Collective Shout' couldn't get traction with an LNP government. Now Labor have answered their unhinged anti-sex, anti sex worker,anti trans, call. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

I think it’s time to take our country back from politicians who do the bidding of powerful people in other countries, and have made us the servants of the US.
How do we go about firing Albanese, tearing up AUKUS and kicking every American servicemen out of the country and take the bases back?

this is a fucking wild week to be demanding australians show empathy for israel

i hate talking about “immigrant contributions to society”. it’s so greasy. migration is a human right. but it is not lost on me that Lebanese, Iranian, Palestinian Australians are so cool, so funny, so creative, giving so much every day, and so consistently betrayed by our LOSER politicians

Jayce is sitting in an armchair, presumably in his cabinet, his posture is relaxed and he's looking right into viewer's eyes with a slight smile. He's wearing a green robe and suspenders with House Talis crest, the right hand is touching the face and the left one is rested, holding a champaign glass. It's cozy and comfortable in the room; it's lit by a lamp on a table beside the armchair, there is an ice bucket with a bottle and another glass on the table. Stars are visible in the night sky in a window behind Jayce's back.

Just Jayce. Content, hot, and a little tipsy. A gift for my friend ❤️
Would you join him? 👀✨

Live: Government won't say which Gulf state requested Australia's military assistance The government is currently considering a request to provide military assistance to a Gulf nation, but it won't say which one. Follow live.

Wondering how the big bulk of middle Australia voters are going to react to high petrol prices and big dents in their super fund balances, given they, and Labor, act mostly from narrow self interest

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

Heart-rending. A crime against humanity. The people of Iran have done nothing to deserve this terror and destruction.

As at February 2026, there were 225 senators + members of parliament capable of voting against Compulsory Income Management.
Only 13 including @greens.org.au, @senatorthorpe.bsky.social + @andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social .
Everyone else voted for a #racism policy, or didn't vote.

Settler colonialism: what it can tell you about the Israel/Palestine conflict In spite of a last minute venue cancellation by Adelaide University, a sold-out Adelaide crowd heard from Chris Sidoti, Francesca Albanese, Henry Reynolds and Lana Tatour on lessons and links for Australia on settler colonialism and the Israel/Palestine conflict. The event was hosted by Association for the Promotion of International Law (APIL).

No, it's time to tax corporations and billionaires properly.

Foreign page uses AI to stir outrage against Australian Muslims A foreign-run Facebook page is posting videos in an attempt to sow regilous discord against Muslims in Australia.

Where is our government @albomp.bsky.social
Where is our E safety commissioner
Why aren't FB being forced to take fake racist posts down
Where is the social cohesion

I wonder which group would benefit from this crap

I've not yet seen a cartoon of Elbo emerging from Trump's nether regions but any day now ...

Australia, where we had to have a non-binding plebiscite on whether to grant non-heterosexual people equal marriage rights because it was apparently such a difficult moral issue, but they can just sign us up to be complicit or an active participant in an illegal war (again) without our consent

Australia obsesses over "welfare dependency".
Meanwhile govt support for wealth includes:
Superannuation tax concessions $52B
Capital gains tax discount $11B
Negative gearing $5B
That's about $68 billion a year, mostly benefiting the richest Aussies.
That's the welfare worth talking about.
