It was disturbing to listen to Tony Abbott reminiscing about the good old days. In the 50's we had the White Australia Policy, Aboriginal people weren't counted in the census, voting was for whites only, Polio was rife and women's rights were dictated by men. So, no thanks bigot.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

Oh, whoops.

Remember kids, the more flags you see at a press conference, the more fascist the speaker is. One or two flags is generally considered acceptable (that way the speaker and the audience can remember which country they're in), 3 might be an accident, but 4 is a clear fascism tell. #auspol

"Angus is the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet" says IPA Patterson.

I can't stop laughing #auspol

One thing drives a certain kind of person crazy is that the simplest solutions to many human problems isnt technological, scientific or something that can be sold. Often the solution lies in social standards, beliefs and culture i.e. finding ways to treat people better simply because we want to.

She was pretty great at one time, but like most of the rest of the long-serving MPs, she's succumbed to the pervasive theatrical unprofessional mediocrity that infects both houses.

I can only recommend for Melbourne.

Well, I suppose the Liberal Party is pretty much screwed then. And Labor can't really survive more than a few years without the L-N Coalition. #auspol

Why do people want cunts to apologise when they do a racism? Them saying sorry for doing a racism when they're still racist doesn't improve matters. They've told you they're a mad racist cunts, now treat them with the disdain a mad racist cunt deserves, because that's what they are; mad racist cunts

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.

The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.

I’ve had a front row seat.

Hey gang! Are there any Melbourne/Victoria-based 3D modellers looking for short contract work right now? Summerfall is currently on the lookout for contractors to do hard-surface environment work for a new prototype, like furniture and all that. 🔨🪑

Send through portfolios! 🙂 Cheers!

JFC, five seconds.

Yelling Guy across the street has upped his game, recently. He's now up to a yell/hoot/holler every ten seconds or so. I don't see where he gets the energy, honestly.

That's very pretty. Even my best efforts look like a dog's breakfast by comparison.

Pam Bondi couldn’t even come prepared for her own staged temper tantrum. this is the nation’s “top law enforcement” official btw 🤡

maybe she became a lawyer because the acting career didn’t work out!!

The Hill: Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years by Dominick Mastrangelo - 02/11/26 10:38 AM ET

Politico: Gallup retreats from political polling , again under new leadership Gallup will announce friday that it plans to measure President Donald Trump's job approval rating only on a monthly basis. 12/21/2018

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

You ever get tired of simulating/resimulating future and part conversations?

"No, I can't call/text then now. My simulation budget is maxed out. Next week I can spend a few hours running simulations, and then I can do it."

QAnon almost destroyed their own country over an imagined conspiracy ring of toddler juicing immortals trafficking under a Pizza Hut, and we have literal evidence of a REAL ONE and nothing.

Cognitive dissonance is real.

Massie: "The recourse is that the next AG can bring charges against them for breaking the law. I think that's what compelled them to produce 3 million documents, and now they're claiming it's incompetence. They're defense today is incompetence for why they haven't given us all the documents."

If he just owned the "Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus" thing and had a laugh about it, people would respect it and move on.

Instead he gets really upset about it and deletes comments / posts to hide it! It's not going away, Angus. Not now, not ever. #auspol #libspill

Libs about to hand Labor, the Teals and One Nation the greatest gift of all time. #auspol #libspill #watergate

With MPs like Hastie and Taylor, I'm not surprised they're failing. #auspol

Seriously, if the defense is, "no we can't prosecute, because then all the pedophiles who have been priming are actually load bearing on the system," then fuck that system.

I do love me a Robusta blend. I don't think I ever had Copper Kettle, but I couldn't really see myself drinking a litre or two of a blend that was less than 50% Robusta beans. Checks out.

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

*past, damnit.

You ever get tired of simulating/resimulating future and part conversations?

Every single Black parent who has ever had to give their child The Talk, and had to explain to their children what that n-word their kids in school (or their teacher) used meant.

Y'all are on easy mode if you think explaining gay is hard.

Just so we’re clear:

Protesting a genocide and the invite of a man credibly accused of war crimes = unacceptable violence

Police beating and detaining said protestors = justified violence
