“wanting to be a shitty person and hanging out with other shitty people and then being surprised pikachu when they are shitty to you” really is the perfect summary of the modern right
The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...
Seeing all these celebs with their “what were you like in the 90s” posts, and I think I would be lucky to have a dozen photos of me in the 1990s tops.
Would never have thought to take a camera anywhere when I was doing something fun back then.

Israel is committed heart and soul to doing evil.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Last year, I posted about the World Wide Web.
This is literally one of the most profoundly stupid and ignorant things I've ever seen written about executive level public sector behavioural incentives that I've ever read - from X The Everything App at 1:00am on a Saturday morning, right through to <checks notes> the fucking NACC.
The big decision to release oil reserves yesterday has had little effect. Price per barrel soared above $100. It’s now hovering in the high 90s. Traders are expecting Trump and Netanyahu’s war to be prolonged.
The War Parties: Labor, One Nation and the Liberals just voted together to pass a Bill that will slam the door on Iranians fleeing a war they have cheered on.
"Ministers want to make it harder for inquests to pass verdicts of unlawful killing, which have been crucial in getting justice for women who committed suicide after suffering abuse."
I don't think anyone expected Labour would change course after its electoral drubbing but this is 🤯
Robodebt was the great test of Australia’s accountability mechanisms – and they failed
The belief that film is some wildly popular art that unlike others survives purely because people buy lots of tickets for it is quite laughable and a pretty USA-centric view that tbh isn’t even accurate for the US.
