Elon Musk is so angry about the EU enforcing its own digital rules on X that he’s now calling for the entire EU to be abolished. In other words, he wants to erase an entire governing body rather than follow the same laws every other company has to follow. He's throwing a tantrum.

News Corp's 'Let Them Be Kids' campaign is a mix of stupidity and hypocrisy As its history shows, News Corp has never cared about kids.

News Corp, the reason behind the inder 16 social media ban, and money behind ‘lighting up all significant buildings’ in green and gold on Dec10. Of course, money and big business, and @albomp.bsky.social fell for it.

I suspect the EIC of The Age is encouraging journalists to come up with negative spin on the metro. Fodder for inner east kids who will never use it.

CONFIRMED: Boat at the center of the double-strike controversy was never heading for the U.S., an admiral told lawmakers. (CNN)

That makes it worse. Of course they did.

If you transported today's Liberals to the 1960s when these projects were being developed, all of them would have opposed City Loop, West Gate Bridge, and the power stations.

Also fuck Trump that’s somewhere the US should intervene and save lives.

Why Australia is facing ‘dependent’ status over AUKUS deal The Pentagon’s review has affirmed the timeline for the ambitious nuclear-submarine endeavour, but another key US defence document is soon expected to refer to Australia as a ‘dependent’ rather than a...

Fresh insight into why Labor is refusing to release the AUKUS review. US Undersecretary of Defence Elbridge Colby is backgrounding journalists on the upcoming US National Defence Review, calling Israel an “partner” and Australia “dependent.” That’s how they think. thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...

Bruce Lehrmann’s big lie Bruce Lehrmann is a liar. For years now, he has lied about the night he raped Brittany Higgins. He has made a small industry from this lie. He has sold it to television networks, in exchange for cocaine and sex. He has laundered it in the Murdoch press, where he has been invited to mock his victim and her husband.

Editorial: Bruce Lehrmann is a liar. For years now, he has lied about the night he raped Brittany Higgins.
