Thanks!

Never noticed

A couple of suburbs over now.

I have one simple request to dutch media and that is to call Wilders for what he is after his claim that there has been fraud taking place: a sore loser that takes zero responsibility for his own failures. He’s been in the cabinet twice, proven to not be able to do anything and can now go fuck off.

Neoliberalism is plutocrat Wishlist masked as genuine political economy. It was premised on denying evidence because the theory that the tycoons were delighted to fund Disney actually work. Hold that thought.

Barnaby Joyce and Andrew Hastie rebuked for ‘playing politics’ on abortion in debate on stillbirth leave Experts warn the fearmongering about late-term terminations is straight out of the anti-abortion handbook

Only defence? No resignation? 🤯🤯🤯

Increased extreme events are predicted with current human induced climate change , but hey there’s a rural-based political party in Australia that does not like the idea of net zero🤷🏻‍♀️

QLD -beautiful one day, tornado the next 🌪️

Trying to find more on this. Canary Mission has paid a lot to manipulate the search engines. The first pages are their propaganda.

Graphic from vile site Canary Mission. The take on Mamdani is BS. Mamdani's Media Influencers A cadre of sympathetic media personalities and outlets actively platform Mamdani and reinforce his narratives while ignoring his record of antisemitism and his ties to extremist figures and organizations. This section highlights the journalists and commentators whose coverage, interviews, and social amplification shape his public image and inoculate him from criticism. jacobin jacobin pernocratic Lox Wired COREY ROBIN The Nation AL VARO LOPER DANIEL DENVIR MATIE DRUMMOND The Nation Zeteo MENDI HASAN Democracy Non HADAS THIER Dropsite News Carter Middle East Eye AMY GOODMAN POSCODOKAN MAYSA MUSTAR

Well done to everyone listed. Canary Mission (disgusting Israeli-backed doxxing operation). If CM hates you, you’re doing something correct. Congrats @danieldenvir.bsky.social
Meanwhile Tucker Carlson interviews Fuentes with peak antisemitism. The Right is bonded with antisemites. Don’t be fooled.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Thank-you. Hope me disappearing into gloom isn’t too disconcerting. Got a ring light coming.

What's Going On With Oatly? Unraveling Recent Developments and Controversies Lately, it's been a steady drip of troubles for the world's biggest oat milk brand, we deep dive into Oatly's biggest issues.

This is a good piece on many of their issues

And this on the greenwashing lawsuit

The whole thing is an amazing saga of green ultra-capitalism, way more about profit and shareholders than emissions and dairy

Perfect time to be discussing Christian nationalism, as it seeks to take over the Liberal Party. Don’t miss it if you can!!

Delighted to be on the excellent #SundayShot again, despite the visual metaphor of my lighting. (Off to remedy that now 😬)

Depends on your perspective, I guess. If you are a private school-commerce degree-thinktank type (and friends), you probably see that as maintaining the class system as God, nature and tradition intend.

It’s part of the neoliberal promotion of bosses’ profits at the expense of the electorate’s wellbeing.

Indeed.

The Sydney Horning Gerald Politics Federal RBA This was published 4 years ago RBA paying $20,000 a year to Sydney Institute, Centre for Independent Studies Shane Wright December 31, 2020

The Reserve Bank has revealed it has been paying $20,000 a year to two right-aligned policy think tanks for more than a decade as part of its mandate to promote the nation's economic welfare, but nothing to more centrist or left-leaning institutions. In a written response to questions raised in a recent hearing of the House of Representatives' economics committee, RBA governor Philip Lowe confirmed the bank had been providing ongoing support to both the Centre for Independent Studies and the Sydney Institute.

The RBA was occupied by several Atlas Network partner tankers when Fairfax did an investigation (alongside its notoriously amateur business people). 3/9? approx at the time. It donated to Atlas partners for years. It’s part of the network of attempts to crush workers’ pay for profits. #Auspol

Market pricing suggests a less than 10 per cent chance of a November rate cut. (Getty Images: Brent Lewin/Bloomberg) Inflation data kills November rate cut chances as RBA faces headache ANALYSIS By business editor Michael Janda Updated 29 Oct 2025 1:42pm AEDT

Your irregular reminder that entities like the Reserve Bank are empowered to do little more than “discipline” you. Inflation is complex now. RBA has one tool and it bashes workers on the head with that hammer. Threat of unemployment keeps you accepting lower wages. #AtlasNetwork #Auspol

Gina Rinehart-backed lithium mine achieves 81 pct renewables over last year, with wind, solar and battery Giles Parkinson

If we wait that long, it’ll be too late. The LNP’s fossil-fuel operations to delay the transition to cheaper renewables has left our energy supply underpowered.

Gina, one of their owners, is transitioning to cheap renewables at her projects, while holding the nation hostage to her agenda. #Auspol

It’s important to remember that the BBC continues to be directed by Boris Johnson’s deeply ideological picks. Robbie Gibb in particular is enmeshed in the radicalised Right end of the Tory sphere that overlaps with Reform’s ugly nativism. The BBC is not an independent source: it is a weapon.

😬

I am sure this will go extremely well and be extremely safe in our era of massive deregulation.

Yes. And then add to that every tiny country that had been limited by our anti-proliferation convention and the wild possible leadership that might think a nuke should be deployed.

That would have been more incentive than Heritage’s macho.

@davemilbo.bsky.social @instanterudite.bsky.social @ketanjoshi.co

The Atlas Network and the threat of nuclear war The Heritage Foundation is promoting a surge in nuclear arms production in America. When an expert contacted the people involved, it seemed the primary appeal of "nukes" was that they were manly.

Trump is planning to ramp up nuclear testing and threats. Heritage Foundation wrote a white paper promoting massive nuclear R&D promoting this…because macho. 🙄 Remember, if US goes rogue, so will everyone else. (Heritage claims to be out of Atlas now) open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

The US Military Is Destroying the Planet Beyond Imagination The military emits more carbon pollution than any other single institution and, depending on which estimates you trust, more than a vast number of countries in their entirety.

"'Earth's Greatest Enemy,' a new documentary project from journalist and activist Abby Martin, makes sure you won't forget it." ABE ASHER The US Military Is Destroying the Planet Beyond Imagination

"The relationship between capitalism and militarism is foundational to understanding why the military appears so unserious about curbing emissions." ABE ASHER The US Military Is Destroying the Planet Beyond Imagination

" As the film explains, the US military was built largely to protect capital accumulation through resource extraction, with its first domestic military bases established to protect the fur and mining industries and its first overseas bases established to help the military access coal." ABE ASHER The US Military Is Destroying the Planet Beyond Imagination

Thanks to @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social for highlighting Abby Martin’s new documentary. The link between environmental trashing, militarism and capitalism is worth your attention.
