Offer hope to the disenfranchised and disengaged, but then unlike the populist right, deliver meaningful change that benefits them.

Not just the greatest cover of all time, but also the greatest ever pop single. youtu.be/AkfmPmaTnKg?...

The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News. In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.

Does the news reflect what we die from?

It would have been easy to do the homework on this because BOM report publicly on the accuracy of their forecasts every year.

Portrait of Voltaire (maybe) with inscription: "If you want to know who controls you, look at who [sic] you are not allowed to criticize"

There seems to be increasingly frenzied coercive activity to silence legitimate comment and questioning.
Maybe because that's all that's left to people who have lost all credibility in their denial & justification of the depraved behaviour of a cruel & vindictive rogue state.

Truth will win

Today at Jabiluka with Traditional Owner Yvonne Margarula & family, on their first “legal” return to country in 40+ years. Soon this land will join Kakadu NP after one of the most important land rights & conservation struggles in modern Australia. A really important day.

Which specific island are you going to pacifically?

There is no better analogy for working in government policy than the Apollo 13 scenes where they have a 30 second window to manually fire the engine to return safely to Earth. Especially as it comes after days of sitting shivering in the dark.

Albanese government worse than Morrison era at producing documents for public scrutiny, report finds Labor’s first term saw second-worst performance since 1993 in complying with Senate orders for documents, data shows

"...the number of FoI documents granted in full had fallen by more than half in just over a decade, from 59% in 2011-12 to 25% in 2023-24...the rate of outright refusals nearly doubled, from 12% to 23% during the same period." So much for transparency #auspol #FOI

"Australia is the 3rd biggest fossil fuel exporter in the world.

"Norway, which is also a big fossil fuel exporter, they tax their fossil fuel industry and give their kids free university education.

"In Aus, we subsidise the fossil fuel industry."

At 4C scientists predict 90% of the world’s population could die.

We’re on track to hit 4C within our childrens’ lifetimes.

7,000,000,000+ avoidable deaths.

Waiting for a journalist to ask a politician about this.

Hey Dude
Crazy little thing called lunch

This is what happened while people were freaking out about offshore wind farms.

As Albanese jets to Jakarta, there are calls for him to confront an 'oppressor' Human Rights Monitor says at least 13 people have been killed in West Papua in the past six months as tensions between Indigenous people and Indonesian troops increase.

Killings and torture are rising in #WestPapua, experts say. They have a message for Albanese #AusPol

Didn't Sandy Gutman release that single that wasn't funny 42 years ago?

A send up of children’s ’ladybird’ books… a young guy with red hair parted on the side and wearing an orange jumper is leaning into the engine of a car with bonnet open and pointing at the engine. There’s text saying : ‘This engine is woke’. The title of the book is ‘Everything I don’t like is Woke — a book for basic dickheads.’

I feel like this book adequately describes Dutts, Clive and his Trumpets and Sky News viewers.

Sportsbet doesn't see it that way.

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #6. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: “Renewables are driving up power bills”. The Facts section says: “Coal and gas prices have DOUBLED, which pushed up wholesale and then retail electricity prices”. A series of small bar charts illustrate changes in relevant data between 2020/21 and 2022/23/24, showing coal prices increasing 135%, gas prices 112%, wholesale electricity prices 104%, and the percentage of renewables having increased 30%. Retail prices are shown in a larger chart to have increased 24% from 2020/21/22 to 2023/24. An arrow links wholesale prices to retail prices with the label “Lag”. Footnotes refer to the sources of the data as AER, ABS, Open Electricity, YCharts and OFX. The graphic is licensed as Creative Commons, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives.

That doesn't look like a "transitional" fuel. Gas is an additional fuel.

Australia's perceived value to the US changes under Trump Experts say Australia matters less to Trump than it did to Biden which has consequences for vital intelligence-sharing alliance Five Eyes as well as the AUKUS deal.

White's assessment is blunt: "The sooner we cut our losses and get out of AUKUS the better, and if the Trump administration's scepticism offers a chance to do so, we should grab it."

Did you know Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal has caused WA wholesale gas and electricity prices to triple?

That’s because in 2020 the WA Government let Woodside start exporting WA’s domestic gas reserves, exposing us to global prices.

My ornithological adviser tells me it's a juvenile Eastern bristlebird. Nice pic!

How can Dutton get it so wrong?

Both Labor and The Greens are producing the lamest "cool memes" on social media. Time to employ some 17yr olds.

This is very good advice.

Fixing this can be first on your list in hung Parliament negotiations.

The "errors" always seem to be in their favour. Curious.

@kevinbonham.bsky.social Please help me understand why Sportsbet rates a Coalition win at $1.53, but then a Coalition Minority or Majority at longer odds than a Labor Minority:

Remember that video next time you use the sluggist pejorative "sluggish".
