A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly

If he’s understating by calling them terrorists, what does he think an appropriate label is?

Like the ridiculous pursuit of ever smaller government, these people don’t have an endgame. They’re like the dog chasing the car who wouldn’t know what to do if they caught it. Their approach only works if there’s a never-ending “crisis” allowing them to play the victim.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "It looks like the president is trying to take us off the world stage in terms of our credibility as the indispensable nation. I want the speaker to go to the president and say it's recognizable what you are doing and your deterioration."

No daylight saving time in southeast Queensland is soooo stupid. Sun rises at 4:30 am and goes down right around dinner time. Would gladly have the sun rise at 5:30 and have that extra hour of sun after dinner. Not to mention being out of sync with NSW.

Small government guys talking about having the weight of the entire government behind them? Government is great when it works for you, eh?

Here's the ACCC today saying that gas exporters are ripping us off. Again.

"gas being offered & supplied by the exporters to the domestic market has declined over time, while LNG export volumes have increased."

World’s major cities hit by 25% leap in extremely hot days since the 1990s Capitals from London to Tokyo need urgent action to protect people from deadly high temperatures, analysts say The world’s biggest capital cities are now sweltering under 25% more extremely hot days each year than in the 1990s, an analysis has found. Without urgent action to protect millions of people from high temperatures, more and more will suffer in the dangerous conditions, analysts said. From Washington DC and Madrid to Tokyo and Beijing, the analysis shows a marked rise in hot days as the climate crisis intensifies. Overall, the assessment by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), found the number of days above 35C in 43 of the world’s most populous capital cities rose from an average of 1,062 a year from 1994-2003 to 1,335 from 2015-2024.

It’s always surprising how disconnected some folks are. I think it’s likely people who just don’t pay attention to news and current events.

V2G combined with more energy-dense batteries will change the game

I’m disappointed every time her pants don’t literally burst into flames

If you think picking those four women and attacking them isn’t an obvious attack on all Black women, then I’m not sure what to say. What he was implying was clear, even if his shrewd phrasing provided a fig leaf of cover. Do you really believe any Black woman would be deserving enough in his eyes?

@pepchasdrdave.bsky.social I take issue with your comments about @karenattiah.bsky.social, saying she mischaracterised what Kirk said. He picked four incredibly accomplished Black women and said they lack the brain processing power to be taken seriously. And that they stole a white person’s spot.

Who is he talking to?

Donald Trump's Most Authoritarian Week Yet After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump used threats to force Jimmy Kimmel off the air, pledged to go after liberal nonprofits and “antifa,” and more.

Donald Trump and his administration used Charlie Kirk’s murder as an excuse to ramp up their ongoing campaign for total power, in their most authoritarian week yet. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Anything I don’t like is illegal

He abused himself when he was a little girl, I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue."

Right, Speaker Johnson?

Unbelievable. Anti-scientific pearl-clutching.

Dr Richard Denniss says the “obvious” ones to pay for damage from increased floods as per the latest climate report should be the Fossil Fuel co’s, as houses will become uninsurable
“The insurance industry will not help ppl in 20yrs time with their flooded houses”💯 #Estimates

Sarah Hanson-Young asks why govt keeps saying we “need” gas?
Dr Richard Denniss “I would argue we don’t.”
“We need no new gas & coal developments anywhere in the world”
“To be clear, the Aus govt denies this science. The UN says it, the IEA says it, the Aus govt rejects it!”💥 #Estimates

Nah 😂

The argument is basically that if you don’t personally physically assault people, then you’re doing it right. A bar so low it’s in the basement.

Disgraceful.

No govt that actually cares about climate change would do this.

Regulator in gas leak 'scandal' had paid role with industry lobbyist The man in charge of the Northern Territory government's handling of a major methane leak at a Santos gas plant was working with a lobbyist for the project's co-owner.

NT Environment Protection Authority chair Paul Vogel was involved in key decisions around the Darwin Liquefied Natural Gas plant (DLNG) without disclosing his paid role with the lobbying firm representing DLNG shareholder INPEX. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09....

This just proves that the bible is massively contradictory, making it effectively impossible to “follow.”

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Australian doctor attacked by drone aboard the Gaza flotilla talks to Dave

I spoke with a brave Australian, Dr Bianca Webb-Pullman, who is sailing to Gaza aboard the Family Boat alongside Greta Thunberg.

Following the drone strike on her boat, she has a message for her local member, Josh Burns. Why not help him hear it?

Will the editor who wrote this headline notice the crayon in their brain? No, no they will not.
