Not so niche, in fact. Last week, as you may have read, more than 200 authors quit Grasset, one of France's finest publishing houses, following its takeover by billionaire Vincent Bolloré. Bolloré also owns the railway bookshop chain Relay, whose windows are now full of titles by far-right figures.
"16-year-old Palestinian Mohammad Majdi Al-Jaabari was killed this morning after being run over by a vehicle belonging to an Israeli settler in Beit Einun, north of Hebron."

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Modern high yield crops on which we depend only produce that yield with several rounds of fertiliser application. A big proportion of that fertiliser can’t get out of the Middle East now. Millions of people are going to starve as a result of Bibi & Trump’s war.
Tom Elliott sucking up to Pauline Hanson on 3AW. (sadness in his voice as he accepts this is who they have to get behind now that his beloved Liberals are down the shitter)
'You may not like her, but at least she has a plan'.
Fuck knows what it is. I couldn't understand a word she was saying.
Yes, the Palantir ‘manifesto’ is quite mad, and it’s in one sense strange to see a company engage so directly in culture war, but it’s not essentially different from the projects of Rupert Murdoch’s companies over >40 years
Use pipe saddles to clamp a piece of timber to the frame, can do one side only or both, can then use std hinges to attach a simple door.
i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.
HOW EMBARASSING! Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon. 🤣🤣
The thing is... it's always been like this, even since the days of Oldfield and Etteridge. They've never been close to anything other than as a vehicle for grift, so there's never been pressure to professionalise...
If News Corp Australia tells you its raining you should always look out the window & check for yourself.
They have one job & it has nothing to do with news.

The creators of a fuel security dashboard that has been used to attack the government have links to the Liberal Party.
The dashboard has been publicised extensively by News Corp, including in several mastheads and on Sky News.

The unique way in which the BBC is funded means you either pay to have your head filled with propaganda, royal news and triumphalist pish about WW2, or aren’t allowed to watch live telly
A data analysis by @ettemedia.bsky.social shows just how insane the Australian campaign against Randa Abdel-Fattah has been.

I know this type. I've seen them often enough. They revel in being obnoxious: but not towards the rich and powerful, to whom they fawn. Always towards the weaker and the poorer: towards people who don't have their privileges, such as access to private medical care. They think it's funny and daring.
Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill.
But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028.
The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent.
Funny how that works.

🧵Remember when Abbott said First Peoples’ efforts to keep their distinct culture was an unaffordable “lifestyle choice”?
Eugenics.
“Hungary’s family policies and determination to keep its culture have been studied around the world,” Abbott said.

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.
Yeah I think what’s happening is Trump bringing into view for normies the long brewing antagonism of the US Catholic Right toward, well, Catholicism. Sort of a protest. We could call them, I dunno, “protest-ants.” (But “assholes” also works.)
Pretty cool that an elected One Nation MP in SA:
- "didn't know she had to go to Adelaide to attend parliament."
- asked if "attending by Zoom" would be possible.
- didn't want to leave her home town because she "has a business to run".
A grade dolts.
IRELAND: A man climbed onto the wing of a U.S. military Lockheed C-130 Hercules at Shannon Airport and struck it with an axe, causing “extensive” damage before being arrested, authorities said.
For the record, Melania didn’t meet Her husband in 1998… she met Marla’s husband.
Keir Starmer is under scrutiny after an RAF spy plane was tracked flying over Lebanon at the same time Israel killed over 250 people in a barrage of air strikes 🇱🇧
I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad

Well will you look at that, Dutton got himself a taxpayer funded job.
Farce.
A gross and hypocritical farce.

What’s the bet she got that number from Kerry Stokes and it’s how much of his own money he spent defending this turkey
Donald J. Trump @reaDonaldTrump I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon - Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs. They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, and they never did! They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they're NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some "free" and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some "clicks" because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA - Or I wouldn't have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of "TRUMP," not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same - Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, "Only Rosie O'Donnell," question, or "Crazy" Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called "pundits" are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left "News" Organizations, are "hailin…
This and Melania’s video sure sound like attempts to get ahead of an imminent story.
