this is insane????

Genuine q cos I can’t find anything but has the Australian government formally acknowledged the commission of inquiry finding yet

One of the funniest things about all of this is Republicans being mad about being called fascists. Did you guys miss when we were doing that during the Bush years when it was also extremely true or what

Deliberately obfuscatory messaging that sounds like 4chan bullshit? Sooooo yeah all signs point to groyper-coded accelerationist discord indoctrination who could possibly have foreseen

The other was the last deeply racist gasp of a man who inculcated his own xenophobia into a base which has only spiralled deeper into paranoia and fear of the other - obviously on top of the horrors of Tampa & offshore processing. He made the ‘fair go’ both unfair & less/inaccessible

Two fundamental, underlying evils stand out for me which undergird the macro of him: one being committing Australia to unnecessary wars, the other being the NT intervention. Both based on bad/false info, with one condemned us to being an American vassal state which has eroded our politics immensely

Altered 30 Rock meme: Liz: What a week, huh? Jack: Lemon, it’s 9/11.

Obviously Carter Burwell is a legend but he absolutely went god mode on The Ballad of Buster Scruggs score

I think the problem is you’re just trapped in one endless election cycle, like Sisyphus but instead of a rock he’s trying to topple a gerontocracy

Say what you will about Xi Jinping but you’d have to envy the simplicity

Deranged

It has been interesting to follow this primary campaign from Australia but jesus fucking christ why do you have a months-long primary campaign for a ballot in June and then the actual election isn’t until November?! God America is stupid and awful

stop using the new york times!!!!!!!!!!

Something like this. For shame NYT for many reasons I forgot about prior to engaging with this, but also for not having Tsai’s Stray Dogs in there already.

Reading Anthony Albanese’s speeches on the Invasion of Iraq & Australia’s fealty to American militarist empire in 2003 & 2005 is enough to make you feel insane. Imagine if that man - now strangulated by his middle-aged neocon doppelgänger - were PM.

I cannot fucking believe we all have to be forced to see and hear Tim Wilson again. Go AWAY, rotten homosexual!! Begone back to a big four consultancy where you belong, foul beast

lmfao

that’s the irony, someone who thinks like this is the most fixable kind of person

“We want to urge generosity and mutual patience as we navigate this together” and it’s about abetting ICE. I mean we all knew the endgame of the HRification of language would lead us to a place like this but it’s no less bone-chilling to reach it

kinda couldn’t be more Felipa when you really get down to it

Disappointed in advance that I can’t c*m?

Joke’s on him I don’t even like the ones I’m on anymore

Why did the pharmacist just glare at me wordlessly while handing me my SSRIs. Was he a scientologist

KYLIE ANN MINOGUE

Can’t believe I have to decide what to eat AGAIN. Will this torture never end

Do you think they also recognise the shift that most people don’t really care if they die

Okay after reading a glorified Vox explainer about that movie, I will just reshare my piece on it since the writer didn't bother to link any critiques.

yeah man good one, if you keep saying shit like this it will retroactively change that they sent Richie Torres to campaign in Michigan
