This is the kind of thing Trump does that demonstrates to anyone with a soul that he is a despicable person.

He can't help but say these things, because that's just who he is.

Everything happening to the Liberals in South Australia (an elsewhere) is the end result of the Howard version of the Liberal Party.

Fearing Chaos of Climate Change, Some Seek Answers in Virtual Classroom

Hey! Our personal climate strategy work is in the New York Times today!

Here's a gift link.

Would sure appreciate your help spreading the word!

Decades ago, in Seattle, I often crossed paths with futurist Alex Steffen. I still read his Substack.

If only we'd we'd acted decades ago to limit excessive overconsumption we wouldn't need his ruggedization tools for climate chaos.

But now we do.

“The real first responders are your neighbors.”

I can't believe we're arguing about tax increase on super to help mend the budget which actually won't raise anything, and then on the other size a gazillion dollars worth of our gas will be dug up and exported and obvs no tax paid on it + climate catastrophe. Great deals all around.

Fact Check: Woodside’s North West Shelf extension isn’t needed to firm the Australian grid It does what it says on the tin.

In which I point out that our Prime Minister might just be stretching the truth a tad when he says that Woodside's North West Shelf extension is needed to firm the Western Australian grid.

Did he tell you about how he grew up in social housing?

The Republican budget is an attack on the American economy Everywhere you look, it delivers blows to America's economic future.

New in PN: The Republican budget is an attack on the economy

"As a moral document, the Republican budget is an abomination, delivering largesse to the most comfortable and cruelty to the most vulnerable. As an economic plan, it could hardly be dumber."

The USA is barely recognizable after 4 months; if you think you can sit on the sidelines and it will be handed back to you in four years you are out of your mind.

I miss journalists, Trump staged an assassination attempt that a five year-old could figure out was fake and NYT’s thinks we need Ezra Klein interviewing Jake Tapper. The failure of MSM wasn’t in covering Biden’s age it was in ignoring Trump’s crimes for the last forty years.

And if you think it's bad now, the Billionaire Bailout Bill that passed the House this morning will be the biggest transfer of wealth in history if enacted.

The Nationals breaking up over Net Zero while farmers break under floods and droughts is the kind of irony that needs a weather warning.

Marles is deluded. In a world where merit mattered, he would be shown the door Richard Marles was warned that if he knifed Mark Dreyfus and Ed Husic, there would be grave repercussions. Initially, he appeared to take it all on board. Then he didn’t.

Fascinating analysis here about how Advance made huge strategic error in whacking Greens and potentially helping Labor form a larger majority. I would add to this that Advance helped make the Liberals look more Trumpist right when Libs were trying to hide their MAGA hats. Well done Advance grubs!

I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

The media loves to interrogate Simon Holmes a Court about his influence on the #independents via #Climate200 but they never do the same for Rhinehart, Santos and the other political whales. The poppies that want to save the planet are nowhere near as tall as the ones who want to destroy it. #auspol

100s of millions of little kids today are now "projected to live unprecedented exposure to heatwaves, river floods, droughts, crop failures, wildfires and tropical cyclones" in their lifetimes.

Unprecedented: "extremes above the 99.99th percentile of exposure expected in a pre-industrial climate."

Nikki Savva & Laura Tingle on Late Night Live, definitely frank & fearless. Neither holding back on the failure of Dutton and+ #MurdochMedia to run the whole narrative while Dutton fell further every day into a gibbering mess.

Well worth hearing.

"Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals."

In fact, it's a TV show in which he says something increasingly stupid every day, and the viewers think "What a fucking idiot"

When most people say something stupid they try to make you forget it. When Trump says something stupid, he digs in and improvs alts off of it for a week.

"The Liberals would do well to treat voters as sensible adults capable of exercising reason and judgement rather than as bundles of appetites, prejudices and fears....Above all, they would do well to lose the sneer." #auspol

I’ll take Labor (even with the tripping over themselves part.)

How the polls got it so wrong predicting a Labor victory After years of polling suggested it was an "unlosable" election for Bill Shorten, last night's Coalition win seemed like a "miracle" to many more than just Scott Morrison. We asked the experts why the...

Just a reminder that the last time we were all giggly about the LNP being thumped in an election, they fucking well weren’t. My stomach is still clenched from that outcome and I no longer trust polls. #AusVotes2025 #AusPol #BinNight 🤞

Spot on.

Did not actually realise they were once socially progressive. How far they have departed from their origins.

Yep we like to confuse people. The liberals here are the conservative party. Opposite of their name really. And they’re blue.

I’m a bit nervous. Hoping we pass our national IQ test.

I'm with Mark Hamill, who's with us? 🤔

A vote for The Thug is also a vote for the most witless, vacuous, incompetent front bench in living memory: Angus Taylor, Sussssan Ley, Barnaby Joyce, Jane Hume, Michaelia Cash, James Paterson…what an appalling thought.
