Everyone who did business with Epstein after his conviction in 2008 knew who he was.

Everyone doing business with Musk right now knows who he is.

Monstrous filth, morally repugnant.

That was great TC. I expected lots of smoking, but no, only ash trays. Seems a young man could find love at the ATO too, no doubt discouraged these days.

Great piece. Totally agree unfortunately. Although as an ex-Queenslander of a certain age, I was most triggered by the mention of Brisbane Bitter. Truly awful.

really adds insult to injury that the cabal of wealthy pedophiles running the world can't even compose an intelligible email

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

People have to do jail time. Powerful people, who thought they were untouchable. They have to be arrested, tried, stripped of assets relating to their crimes, and sent to jail.

Because if it doesn't happen, it will prove to voters that democracy is a sham.

And then we're seriously fucked.

Here is a good opinion:

“Look: Rome wasn’t burned in a day.”

China has the largest:

- Installed capacity of wind power (absolute)
- Output of wind farms (absolute)
- Annual additions of wind capacity

+ the same %'age share of wind as the US, NZ, Norway, Italy despite being.....extremely large

Wind generated 18% more than solar did in China, in 2024

TRUMP FOREIGN POLICY

Cookie Monster says he's never been interested in cookies

Mind-blowing fuckery, worth watching this in its entirety

Poland does not want to sell its territory. But for an art student turned chancellor, the land of pierogis may be irresistible.

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

Dave Mathews took time on his birthday today to speak out on ICE and the murder of Renee Nicole Good 🔥….HBD Dave!

"Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. F*ck ICE"

Massacre as political theatre: our shameful national response to Bondi Politicians and the media have seized on the Bondi tragedy to drag Australia further right

Brilliant as ever from Amy Remeikis. The past week for politics and media in this country has been quite disgraceful and turned tragedy into the grubbiest tool of convenience, dividing us even further. Opportunistic and sickening.

Rubio needed a large drink of water before defending killing children.

Howard Reassures Australians That No Matter How Divided We Feel in This Moment, He Can Always Divide Us More — The Shovel John Howard has moved to calm a tense and fractured nation, reassuring Australians that while the current levels of social, cultural and political division may feel unprecedented, he remains available...

Trump is giving his Pettysburg Address.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

How times change.

Apart from leaking to the SMH and the Age like a rusty colander, this would have to be the most tiresome little man in the Australian public service

Hyperbolic, publicity mad, sinophobic, constantly beating his own drum when absolutely nobody has asked - don't ever get between him and a headline

.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is
