Albanese at the White House: Trump endorses Aukus, signs $8.5bn rare earths deal and calls PM ‘great leader’ President says US has no better friend than Australia but tells ambassador Kevin Rudd “I don’t like you’

Nuts to see the widespread media backpatting of Albanese after he ensures Aus critical minerals will be

- Shipped to a country that'll use them for weapons and AI slop data centres instead of for the energy transition

- Extracted in an env toxic way thanks to the deregulation promised in the deal

The AI avatars rallying Australians to their cause They appear to be real but the many faces calling on Australians to

They appear to be real, but the many faces calling on Australians to "fight, fight, fight" against a migrant "invasion" are, in fact, the product of AI.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

”If Keir Starmer had sought to hold the door open for Nigel Farage, he couldn’t have done a better job. He has manufactured disillusionment and alienation on an industrial scale. By adopting Farage-like positions on asylum and immigration, he legitimises Reform while delegitimising Labour.”

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.

Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.

This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

One might think it relevant that nearly 300 Oz journalists who signed an open letter in early Dec 23 calling for more ethical media coverage of the Gaza/Israel conflict were told they would be “unable to participate in any reporting or production relating to the war.”

ICE thugs pointed a gun at a pregnant U.S. citizen, with her little boy in the back seat, because she dared to film them on a public street. “Are you gonna shoot a pregnant woman?” she cries. “

You just put a gun on me!" And the agent spits back,
"It's your fault I did that."
Her fault.😡

Stunning writing

Stunning observations

Watch how our society in all its facets - built by men, designed by men, produced by men, predominantly controlled by men - works to protect the man every time

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Job agency companies and bosses continue to make an extraordinary amount of money from a Mutual Obligations system we now know operates unlawfully

Here's the latest example of what they're doing with that public funding. Enjoy Sarina at the Louis Vuitton resort in St Tropez 👇

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to watch the Air Feces One video and then be asked, “Is the President sane?”

The huge No Kings protests, an estimated 7 million people addressing America's worst crisis since the Civil War, get a tiny headline on the New York Times homepage, with no photo.
Why does NYT think change happens only when politicians hold news conferences and not when everyday people take action?

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

A screenshot of the New York Times' website. A story "Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country" appears seven stories down the homepage.

A screenshot of the New York Times' website on September 12, 2009. The highlighted story reads "Thousands Rally in Capital to Protest Big Government."

New York Times buried the massive No Kings protests seven stories down the home page, right above a passive-aggressive blurb about why they don't report on crowd size.

In September 2009, the notably smaller Tea Party protests were framed in numbers and visible without scrolling.

The epic story of Australia and its first peoples — like you've never seen it The story of Australia and its peoples is vast and deep. It's one you should know, but possibly one you've never been told. Well, not like this anyway.

A momunmental achievement and wonderfully presented by the Story Lab.

Also gotta note the timing of its release - the same week as Tony Abbott's "history" of Australia book/doco.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

In any other presidency, from Truman to Biden, the family monetization of the office & the use of immediate family members as a substitute for senior diplomats would have immediately ended it all. But here we are, with this One Special Boy, & we just stopped being a serious country. It’s maddening.
