And his doctors! They were so impressed with his MRI scan. Apparently, they'd never seen a brain so smooth

Civil war postponed following identification of right-wing mormon white cisgendered male neurotypical shooter

It's just not a civilised country

"...political violence is never the answer."

Unless... you're American!

In which case, it has always been the answer. ALWAYS!

FFS their highest grossing musical theatre is Hamilton

1. The GST

2. Re-branding asylum-seekers as "illegals"

3. Capital gains tax reform... which blew the roof off negative gearing and made housing unaffordable for future generations

Johnson on Kirk shooting: ‘Political violence has become all too common’
House Speaker Mike Johnson called the shooting “detestable.” He condemned political violence, saying, “This is not who we are.”

Voiceover . this is exactly who you are

In 2023, after a mass shooting at a school in Tennessee, Kirk said that gun deaths are "unfortunately worth it" to preserve the 2nd Amendment

So while we deplore another gun death... we should also recognise that Kirk's completely at peace with his own demise

In case you were wondering where the ABC was headed, wonder no more...

Just so I understand where Aunty's head is at...

You can do cash for comment, spruik for the Liberal party, have conflicts of interest up the wahzoo, rant against indigenous consultation, and even publicly side with illegal land clearing

But you can't say genocide is bad?

Have I got that right?

So happy to see Jeff Bezos will be getting a tax cut - that wedding must have set his earnings back AT LEAST a day.

American politics and wealth distribution seems to be REALLY going for that late 18th century French look

Media release from Tony Burke celebrating 10 years of Border Force: Today the Australian Government celebrates and reflects on 10 years of the Australian Border Force. Since its establishment in 2015, the ABF has played a leading role in protecting Australia’s border and enabling legitimate travel and trade, and as a global leader in the international customs and border enforcement community. Over the past decade, the ABF has grown into a modern, intelligence-led agency, and a recognised symbol of Australia’s resilience, capability and integrity. Working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to protect our most strategic national asset – the Australian border.

Counterpoint - it's a disgusting militarisation of customs thought up by macho dipsh*t, Tony Abbott, which an ALP govt that was not afraid of right-wing media would have dumped the second they got into office.

💯 🎯

These goons are brand new recruits

Just one look at em in action:

They have no tactical awareness and no idea of their authority or the law

It's a dangerous recipe - someone WILL get shot

But, I wonder... where would the regime find so many willing goons and so fast?
🤔

Do you need to ask Fox "news" first?

He's almost good enough to play for the Red Sox

Single frame. Trump holding in one hand a bag of money and in the other a toy sub marked AUKUS high out of reach of a child-sized Albo. Trump says: “On second thoughts, maybe it’s not the greatest deal ever…” Richard Marles running in from right holding a small ladder and another bag of money.

You just know we’ll be screwed.

"How Corporate Media Is Paving the Road For Fascism in America"

In times of doubt, you can always count on corporate media and their remoras to "both sides" Donald Trump's fascist regime and demand civility as MAGA continues to dispense violent cruelty.

Is that the same Chris Cillizza who wrote 50 articles about Hillary's e-mails in 2015, and made reference to the number of articles being written about Hillary's e-mails as a justification for writing more articles about Hillary's e-mails?

Yep... the guy is cooked

Beach Boys' greatest hits - 1981 EMI (Australia)

My very first album, and 40 years later, remains a favourite.

Such musical genius

RIP and thankyou Brian

Over 70 people were arrested at the Lakers championship celebrations...

42 had been arrested during the ICE protests when the MILITARY were called in

Just imagine Mark Carney's 🇨🇦 response if a Canadian journalist was shot point blank by Trump's gestapo...

🖕🤬💥

Now Albo's 🇦🇺 response...

4) BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT.

This FCKER was aiming at an Aussie journo... AND FIRED!

The Israeli military attacking a boat full of unarmed activists bringing food and medicine to Gaza is a clear breach of International Law that should be strongly condemned and have consequences #Madleen

And call out media outlets describing protests as riots

They are helping the Trump regime to ramp up the violence

That's when we close our louver windows

hundreds of protesters flooding an LA street

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

Just a huge thanks to PJ for providing the soundtrack to my life
