“You have got to be fucking kidding,” the Rest of the World has remarked, as the US entered yet another war in the Middle East without any clear motive, strategy, objectives, popular support, succession plan or exit arrangement, leading to suspicions it has no fucking idea what it is doing.

Jon Kudelka (1972-2026) The last picture Jon Kudelka drew for The Saturday Paper was of a man sitting on the edge of a small cliff. Possibly it was the edge of a hole. The man was Jon, waiting for an idea. He was as scruffy and as charming as one of his drawings.

Editorial: Jon died on Sunday. It is unbearably sad that he is no longer here. The world is less just without him. Most of his cartoons are still relevant because too little has changed and a lot has become worse. satpa.pe/N4zAV40

Always enjoy being told that the private sector is a more efficient and productive way to deliver public services

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

PLEASE share this, far and wide. This kid has trained, relentlessly and meticulously, for over 6 months.

My friend Jon has died | First Dog on the Moon Jon Kudelka loved his beautiful family and was fiercely intolerant of greed and hypocrisy

Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

Shoutout to all the women triggered by the world’s silence and inaction on all the abusers named in the Epstein files because this is why we didn’t come forward knowing it would lead to exactly this.

Love, solidarity and fuck em all 🖕👊💜

I wonder if One Nation would still be rising in polls if media bothered to question the fringe views they stand for
Climate denial, against LGBTIQ+, against women’s rights, abortion
Or when they tried to funnel $ from NRA to weaken gun laws
Hype would be over pretty fast #auspol

Beware the new 'normal', it might be about to bite us Some people just like power. Those same people enjoy sowing seeds of discord that they never have to actually solve, in order to keep it.

"An openly racist reality TV star with a disdain for rules, and rights, someone with more wealth than 99 per cent of people could imagine, play-acting as an anti-elite.
Who would take that seriously?
Australia. More than once." @amyremeikis.bsky.social

This article on the Atlas Network by @garethhutchens.bsky.social is epic, epic reporting. Interesting that my criticism of Swiss media rebroadcasting of Atlas Network climate denial made it into Australian media - but not Swiss. Thanks @jeremywalker.bsky.social for your leadership on this. 🙏🙏🙏

I was once an architect of the Christian nationalist agenda. I regret it all. When religion is placed at the service of a political party, it corrupts both.

Coalition shambles can trace its genesis to precisely one spot To understand what’s happening, you have to understand the Queenslanders. For that, you don’t need common sense, or rationality

It doesn’t take a lot of words to explain why the Coalition is imploding. Just one. Queensland.

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress.

Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes.

I feel so betrayed by the Albanese Labor Govt.

The hate bill.
The Nacc.
Climate
Aukus
Asylum seekers
Poverty
Housing
Palantir
Social media ban
Electoral reforms

We’ve been betrayed 😞😞 #auspol

The Otways are the last of the ancient Gondwana-era cool temperate rainforests on the south end of the Australian mainland, and it only burns one way: catastrophically. Last time it burned was 1939. Now... many more people live there & volunteers will try to save it. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

sadly still relevant

We should start naming heatwaves after fossil companies

The Santos Heatwave
The Woodside Heatwave

etc

Just remember that right now the Albanese Govt is spending billions to the fund the USA military.

This is a great thread from @grogsgamut.bsky.social and totally spot on.

It’s shameful that this ongoing stain on our national character continues to go underreported and under-resourced by governments of both persuasions and an apathetic media. Nearly 200 women killed by violent men in the past 2 years. Isn’t that worthy of a Royal Commission?

Strong agree.

Also the 2028 Olympics.
