Here's me. "Why the fuck would we 'socially cohere' for monsters?"

To repeat.

--

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.

Bondi’s Blood, Herzog’s Shield: How Australia’s Grief was Hijacked for Geopolitics The Bondi massacre exposed more than a failure of gun laws. It revealed a political class willing to fold a community’s grief into a diplomatic script—inviting a leader accused of incitement to gen…

A portrait of the Great Frank Frazetta

Remembering the original FF on his birthday: FRANK FRAZETTA, who was, is, and will always be a HUGE inspiration on this FF here... ❤️❤️❤️

Dr Assal Rad—

“𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭”

Anyway my standard opinion applies here - children are still more significantly more likely to be harmed by people they know in person rather than some rando online. Kind of a hard sell as a policy electorally tho.

Trump's Vile Obama Video Follows the White House's Official White Nationalist Line DHS and other agencies have been spewing racist goals as government policy

Trump's racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn't a mistake—it's part of a pattern. From DHS posting neo-Nazi recruitment material to erasing slavery exhibits, white nationalism has become official government policy.

My latest in @theunpopulist.net

My very 1st thought was:
(f*ck me! 😧)

My very 2nd thought was:
Across its broad utilisation, AI has repeatedly delivered 'hallucinations'. There is A LOT of literature on this. It's my considered opinion that people seeking health advise from ChatGPT deserve what they get. But from a SURGEON!?

(f*ck me! 😧)

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure.

Her whereabouts & health are now unknown.

The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

Last night the NSW Police disgraced themselves. The NSW government is fully responsible for what happened.

There was a lot of people last night at the Syd protest who either haven’t protested in years or have never protested - & they saw things last night they never thought they’d see - & now to see politicians, police & media lie about it.

This is a turning point #auspol #nswpol

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

An Irishman living in the United States for more than 20 years has been held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officials since being arrested last September. Seamus Culleton is married to a US citizen and owns a plastering business in the Boston area. He was arre...

TAT: [Nationalism]

These are the same tactics as those used in Brixton 40 years ago and nothing has changed. The media continues to deliberately report in a way that always implies the violence started with the protesters and subsequent police violence was justified.

The EV slowdown: How government decisions changed the road ahead We look at what went wrong and what needs to happen after the great e-slowdown.

Just a reminder that all policy positions are ones that have consequences, and none are neutral. All have outputs, outcomes, & externalities.

This policy decision was positioned as more 'natural' but using status quo market forces is itself a conscious policy decision

Antisemitism laws, double standards and Australia’s unfinished reckoning Proposals to legislate new antisemitism definitions raise hard questions about identity, equality before the law, and why Australia continues to avoid confronting its most entrenched forms of racism.

Did you see all the “Countryside is too white”, “countryside is racist” hoo ha last week?

If you were anywhere near RW media or the hell site, you can’t have missed it!

Want to know where it all came from? Why there were over 30 “news” pieces about it in just 4 days?

Let’s take a look!👀

True,
but by this stage so much harm has been has been irrevocably done & the warnings firmly put in place.

The brutalisation of Greens member Hannah Thomas by NSW Police (a) wasn't specifically about targetting an individual but a class, & (b) her physical damage remains the lesson.

Job done.

Yes.
Yes, I'm not surprised by the perfidy of the power structures at play and the players within,
but,
it's the sheer number of 'useful idiots'!! - which silver spoon sausage factory is churning these pillocks out? 😧

yes.

It wasn’t impossible - the cops where there to incite violence. And Albanese (and everyone else) knew this would happen and he let it.

BREAKING: France Just Raided Elon Musk’s X Offices In Paris — And It’s Not About One Office, One Country, or One Week This is about power. Influence. And what happens when one billionaire decides the rules don’t apply to him anymore.

From @deanblundell.skystack.xyz

How often can one, as a native or neighbour, earnestly say,
"Vive la France".

Under Musk, X has become a destabilization engine without
• accountability
• transparency
• restraint

&, a major democracy finally said:
Ça suffit!

Why Victoria is prone to 'some of the scariest fires' in the world Some of the world's most destructive bushfires take place in the southern state. Its unique mix of fierce winds, high fuel loads and rugged terrain are to blame.

Here, on the ABC, is an entire article on Victorian bushfires ... with not a single mention of climate change www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Interesting to hear Jane Hume complain about the Liberals not having introduced any policies this term.

Is this not the same Jane Hume who told Insiders, as a frontbencher, “we don't have policies, we are in opposition, not in government”?
