US commander warns Congress of 'increasingly aggressive' China The US's Indo-Pacific commander praises work to upgrade Australia's AUKUS base, but says he needs more naval firepower in the region as China rapidly expands its military.

The US accusing another country of being aggressive.

Do fuck off.

Jailed for being jailed?

Happy 62nd birthday, actor and filmmaker Andy Serkis. 🎂 #Filmsky

It’s so goddamn blatant, why on earth are people ’maybe-ing’ this Trump/Thiel illegality.

When any politician says they’ll be “tough on” anything you can be sure they’re selling a scare campaign and trying to create a “them” for “us” to despise.

Ignorant people love a “tough on” statement. It outsources the bullying they lack the courage to deliver themselves.

Workers of the world, unite!

Let off some steam, Bennett!

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

If Trump REALLY wanted to show Australia how upset he is with use he’d go ahead and tear up the AUKUS agreement. That’d show us! #auspol

"Should we send our taxes directly to billionaires as thanks for all they do?"

- The Washington Post

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy:

There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

Ursula von der Leyen: "Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger."

The Artemis II Mission was also a hopeful event because everyone was competent, everything was based in taking science forward and it wasn’t funded by a cartoon villain billionaire and we aren’t used to seeing that kind of national event from America anymore.

Hans Zimmer is a transphobe. A tweet reads "I worked for him. I did good work that he praised, but after transitioned he quickly had me fired. He had cue notes named "tr*nnv fight"' etc etc... It's a pattern of abuse that will inevitably come out over time, and I'm glad that the industry is changing slowly."

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this.

You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

On Ben Roberts Smith war crimes, it’s a major problem in this dumb country that the wrongheaded views of Gina Rinehart are reported on as they are. She inherited a mining fortune. That’s it. She’s irrelevant. Or should be. #insiders

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

Welcome home, Integrity crew!
