Laura Tingle with a bit of Australian understatement:
“It’s not really legal to nick someone else’s head of state.”

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

I just think it's neat that bad leaders who must be stopped at all costs only live in countries with big oil reserves

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

You CAN condemn what happened to the Bondi Jewish community and you CAN oppose the genocide and you CAN oppose Oct 7 and you CAN condemn the oppression Gazans faced before that, without it justifying anything that came next.

You can and you must. You have to want it *all* to stop.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting.

BBC 'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed Emily Atkinson Sun, December 14, 2025 at 1:06 p.m. CST 2 min read A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed. Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat. Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

I LOVED 'Fix the News' and then they moved to Substack and... now I don't subscribe anymore, and that pisses me off, but the only power I have is with my feet, so.

The walrus is the BEST.

This is just so wholesome. The palate cleanser we all need!

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT.
CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open.
DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open.
CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are.
DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces.

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish citizen.

Pressure the foreign ministries and help us keep Greta safe!

i wasn't aware chatgpt was built to sound exactly like your most psychologically destructive ex but wow they really nailed it

Ms Rachel got hands

I did Liberation Day tariffs in Victoria 3, and it all went well until the famine in Colorado, the 2 lost wars with Canada, and the president beating a man to death with a stick But apart from that, would recommend.

sometimes you pitch an article, black out, and then wake up 2000 words later with no real recollection how any of it happened www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

It's all just so... ridiculously overblown. Which is very in line with the catholic church, so no surprises there.

I haven't considered myself Catholic in 20+ years (though arguably they may still consider me one, since I was confirmed and never formally renounced)... but I admit, I've been enjoying following the coverage. #NoNewPopeToday

A rectangular gray gravestone, inscribed with Whitin Badger, 1906-1992, Dwight Cooke 1908-1992, and underneath the line "THE UNICORN WAITS IN A DARKENING WOOD"

Hey, who wants something nice?

So I was on tour this month, and when I was doing my event for the Princeton University Library and the Princeton Public Library, I ended up at the graveyard, where I found this gravestone:

Antony Green has called Dickson for the ALP - currently 30% counted, 10% swing. He says Dutton can’t win from here, even if pre-poll votes differ. #auspol #auselection2025 #ausvotes2025

Put your potatoes out for Dutton 😂
