In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
theofficialdawsonmckie Dear America, I'm Canadian, and even from across the border I can tell your gentlest people are doing the heaviest lifting. They are feeding people, protecting people, defending people, comforting people, organizing people, and carrying a country that keeps calling their pain politics. If America has a soul left, it is living inside the people who refuse to stop caring. Your cruelest people may have the microphone right now, but your best people still have the moral weight.
We're terrible neighbors right now, and it hurts to keep caring. Care anyway. You are needed.
Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.
Killing a civilisation is a war crime. Threatening it is obscene. No country that does this is a worthy ally or friend of Australia. The world needs to respond with action to prevent these crimes.
A viral clip in Australia from 1991 of the con man Jack Karlson shouting about his groin in front of a Brisbane Chinese restaurant while being arrested, has been deemed one of the country's important cultural recordings. It will now be preserved in the country's National Film and Sound Archive.
A view of the night sky from Mars. (Yes, really)
A picture from Ken Klippenstein of a couple Ice guys at th airport. One seen from the back wearing a plate carrier Police Ice vest. At the left of the image is a redheaded guy with a buzz cut, wraparound shades on his head, no mustache, and a 6" red beard. He is wearing a shirt that is straining under his "fitness" and has his thumbs looped in his plate carrier like he's wearing fucking overalls and is planning on churning the shit out of your butter. There is a blurry crowd in the background. None of them appear to be contemplating violence despite the situation
Get a load of Obadiah Ice at the left. "Why art Thou resisting?"
👇Hang on to your seats - this Iran summary will leave your head spinning 😵💫
Israel: the world does not sufficiently support our insane suite of military projects. Everywhere foul racists oppose our inalienable right to fuck shit up on the regular. How do we make people support us? Hmmm. Let’s engineer a situation whereby everyone in the world has to pay 100% more for petrol
To be honest I haven't done any reporting on that topic, but I will ask the person who wrote the story.
“He used to rev the engine whenever he left the driveway. Now he just sort of rolls down the hill in neutral,” one neighbour said.

Jesus fucking christ, the detail in the article will make you sick to your stomach. Nina Funnell is an incredible investigative journalist
Just reminding everyone that if you don’t like Iran’s Islamic authoritarianism, it exists because the US overthrew a secular socialist Iran in 1953 because BP was losing oil profits.

1. Noam Chomsky's response to the first tranche of Epstein docs - arrogant, high-handed, obfuscatory and, we now know, dishonest - reminded me of something: his response to my questions about genocide denial, 15 years ago. 🧵

Hypothetically if someone was accused of having sex with goats by over 30 different people and regularly denied it, but also dropped very public hints about how much he liked to have sex with goats for decades, and ran a goat pageant to find the best looking goats, and was best friends with someone who got convicted of fucking goats and trafficking goats to friends all over the world who also liked to fuck goats, and his name was in the classified goat fucker chronicles 5,000 times, and he wished other goat fuckers well in prison, what do you think the odds are that person is also a goat fucker?
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
Last week's was about the size of the public housing waiting list. I reckon this week's was about the size of the elective surgery waiting list. Nowhere near the size of the outpatient appointment waiting list as some have claimed.
There was a report on the Moody's downgrade in Thursdays paper.
Sorry, has been a busy week. Doing my best.
Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"
when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor
First time in a long time, isn't it?

The allegation here is that wealthy tourists paid to be able to shoot human beings. Perhaps killing wildlife wasn't enough for them. If true, psychopathic scarcely begins to cover it.
