The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

So good

The way you helped put someone in power who enthusiastically supports and is looking to profit from said genocide just proves what a ridiculous stance this is, both in the particular and the abstract.

Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 104 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile Netanyahu ordered strikes on Tuesday evening after firefight between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants

A ceasefire is not “fragile” when 104 people are murdered. It is over.

John Cleese and Michael Palin argue over a dead parrot in a pet shop

Immediately thought of this

Trackers and puffer jackets. Standard issue uniform for how long?

I would add cheese 🧀

You can tell he supports farmers by the way he makes their imported inputs more expensive and closes markets with his bonkers tariff policies, halts SNAP USAID and raids farms to snatch their workers. So much support.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

They go to another school

I remember thinking they would be a whole lot better. But nah

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Good question Matthew Knott. Why are we discussing what the Nationals policy on Net Zero is, when they are years from government? #insiders

I really hope so

Doesn't seem to have occurred to everyone yet that the US Congress may never reconvene.

I loved it. But then I am a Jane Austen fangirl

My cab driver in Arkansas was a Bush-McCain-Romney-Trump-Trump-Trump voter. He said he hadn't given much thought to the 2028 election, but that if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York, the Democrats can kiss his vote goodbye.

I listened to this also and thought it was striking. Especially the speed at which Trump is moving vs Putin and Urban, and the idea that one “succeeding” makes it easier for others to follow the strong man playbook.

Ummm. Who is buying the US Military?

'Sensible' centre? Tell that to the giants of The Rocks and Eureka We've had decades of sanitising radical progressive action in Australia, to make successes seem as if they were just the sensible position.

Sensible? That's the giants of The Rocks, Eureka

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has:
• Demolished a large section of the White House
• Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people
• Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice

Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

Quick question for better sleuths than I: Sarina Russo haven't published their company's financials since 2021. Any ideas on how to flush those records out?

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands … may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Brittany Higgins abandons appeal over Linda Reynolds' defamation win Brittany Higgins abandons her appeal of a WA Supreme Court finding that she defamed her ex-boss and former Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds in a series of social media posts.

Linda Reynolds should be very happy now. She has completed her ambition of completely destroying the life of a rape victim and her partner. What a cruel, callous, cold-hearted bitch she is. #auspol

Is it the Age or the Herald Sun. Almost indistinguishable from each other when it comes to kicking Melbourne.

Ah yes, the Eureka Stockade, famously opposed to disruptive protests

I’m in Australia and even I know she can’t access computers and phones because she doesn’t have access because she hasn’t been sworn in. She explained in a Tik-Tok video, you twerp.
