Nawwww, so sad for kashno$

These laws are unconstitutional and they deserve to be chucked out.

Listen to Executive Officer, Bart Shteinman on PM overnight discussing why the anti-protest laws in QLD and NSW are anti-democratic and it's a good thing they've been struck down in NSW!

This is easier said than done, I think. But both Ben and Kat have shown themselves, again and again, to fight for their principles. In an age of toxic masculinity and utter misunderstanding of what being a man is, I feel like Ben really encapsulates what I think masculinity is.

Also he's just so deeply uncool and desperately wants to be cool. The things you said mainly, but I think a lot of people who aren't aware of the heinous person he is and things he does just see him as a 13 y/o who keeps saying "pull my finger" while everyone else says "FFS, Elon, it's not funny"

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

Thanks for this link. That was an interesting Wikipedia rabbit hole of the Technocracy movement. Interesting fact is that Musk-Rat's maternal grandfather was a key member in Canada (also a chiropractor which makes sense given the snake oil salesman that is his grandson) & was arrested for membership

Konrad has been excellent with this (and many other things) and has been pretty tireless in his campaigning to finally shine the light on how much the gas cartel gets away with. More power to him.

"Welfare for me, rugged individualism for thee" is the motto of big businesses and the rich, and they don't get nearly enough hate for it. Curse the lot of them and anyone who is keen on enriching the filthy rich while demonising and scrutinising the vulnerable.

Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Ah, so Greg was right. Only needed for "don't call it genocide cos that's AS".

Ol' Pyney's Warehouse still churning out weapons it seems. And money, lots of money.

You're hearing it more and more... it's time to tax gas exports!

More than 50 community organisations, including ACOSS and Oxfam, are calling for a 25% export tax.

Australians are fed up with the gas industry not paying its fair share.

Overheard in the hospital waiting room:

"That doctor is a leftist bastard"
"There are different churches, and I'm not saying we are right, but we're not wrong"

It was nice of them to speak loud enough the entire waiting room can hear.

Oh no, what a tragedy...

Good riddance. I hope voters actually see how absolutely useless they are before the election.

“What struck me about Sudan is the sheer level of violence.”

Reem Alsalem, United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social the situation in Sudan is a manifestation of the “lawless order that we live in.”

Still blows my mind that water can be traded by people who don't even live/work there. Utterly insane

Oh phew, you should probably tell James that and his lawyers.

These "Surrounded" memes are getting out of hand

A blue British Shorthair sleeping on a bed, on top another bigger bed. Curled up, with his ears perked up, snoring away like an adorable little rascal.

Morning Ian, chilly here overnight and this morning, must have been freezing out your way. Little man is in the warmest room in the house on his little upcycled bed.

Even with that, Nordacious got told that his artwork (specifically the Farnham one with the song's lyrics) breaches the law and needed to be taken down. bsky.app/profile/nord...

1/2 Yes, Coal Australia does highly deceptive astroturfing like this.

The lobby group is also a funding source for right-wing, Atlas Network-aligned think tanks and advocacy groups [such Advance and IPA], often acting to oppose #ClimateAction.

I usually just deal with the underhanded comments like "I couldn't quite hear you with your mask" or "oh I didn't recognise you, probably cos of the mask". Probably being a tall male helps avoid the more nasty incidents.

This weather at the moment is outstanding. I cannot wait for winter. #melbourne

Why do the Mackays remind me of the cannibal couple from Book of Eli?

Especially "RELIEF AT THE BOWSER" in news articles (I can't think of that without hearing it in @tonymartin.bsky.social 's voice)

Graham sounds like a bit of an idiot

These State Pension Funds Invest in Palantir Public pension funds from California to New York hold a combined billions of dollars in Palantir stock, while teachers and other public employees protest their retirement savings funding the tech powe...

Public pension funds in over half of U.S. states hold billions of dollars in Palantir stock, according to @Sludge.

Public workers in several of these states, like Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are protesting the fact that their pension funds are being funnel to this dangerous company.
