A disciple of Brandolini's Law tangled up in media and politics. The only ‘abundance’ is stupidity. Everything else is precious. It’s a pity we’re so bad at the whole ‘equitable distribution’ thing.

Packer donation: Details are emerging of a $150,000 donation from billionaire James Packer to Advance, a lobby group opposed to "mass immigration" and net zero climate policy. Concerned Liberals have told the ABC it's a "bad sign" for their party.

If Westerners Could Wrap Their Minds Around What War Really Is
We’ve never had the experience of seeing our child’s shredded body after a blast and thinking about how we’d carefully helped them dress that precious body for school just hours before.

How do billionaires manage to accumulate such obscene wealth? Because of this 👇
The mega rich simply buy political parties and policy outcomes to entrench their power and status while wages fall and life for millions of Australians gets harder.
It's time we taxed them.

Absolutely nuts. I fired up Google Gemini and asked it a bunch of questions about my own field — areas I know really well, that I write and publish in.
Literally the first paper that it told me about had a hallucinated author name

This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea
If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

Anthony Albanese’s refusal to assist Australian women and children in Syrian detention camps will define his prime ministership, not as caution but as moral failure and political smallness, writes Jack Waterford.

Old enough to remember Rupert Murdoch saying the illlegal 2003 bombing and invasion of Iraq (to seize its oil after a disinfo campaign about nuclear weapons) would drop oil to $20 a barrel and thus a booming economy. Millions of Iraqis died. OIl prices went up🇺🇸💰🤑.

Just a note of caution for #Auspol
Politico was bought by Axel Springer 2021, Germany’s equivalent to the Murdoch brand. The CEO is deeply invested in free market truthiness & Zionism. (Not sure if he’s think tank connected on a cursory search but he speaks the same language.
🇩🇪 tanks built AfD.)
Did you know that Iran has the oldest and largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside of Israel? Over 100 synagogues, 20 of them active, and a community of over 10,000 people.

You can't make this up
Albanese is spruiking addressing cost of living in one breath, whilst in the next supporting an illegal war of choice that is likely to trigger a global recession if not worse.
The cognitive dissonance is palpable
If the attack on Iran is this unpopular in the war mongering USA, imagine how deeply unpopular it is everywhere else in the world.
Now imagine the electoral damage this is doing to Albanese as he stands on the sidelines cheering Trump on.
I’m concerned for Lord Howe Island.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
Australian journalists and politicians, please reconsider your support for the USA and Israel. Please. We cannot be part of this. These people are fascists. They are evil. Is this really what you want!?? Muslims are your constituents, your friends and neighbours. They don’t deserve this. #auspol
