He intends to establish control over the nation's capital so the next coup won't fail. It's as simple as that.

Australia’s potential surrender of creative content to tech giants for free is shocking. Labor must decide where it stands | Josh Taylor The Productivity Commission appears to have bought into tech companies’ brazen arguments – and caught the Australian government off-guard

Well done to Josh Taylor for sinking the boot into the Productivity Commission's risible report on AI. Rubbish like this suggests it's well past time to abolish the Productivity Commission altogether. Put the funding into actual research, not this nonsense www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I think you’re already there 🫣

I'm heartsick at the IDF murders of so many fiercely brave reporters & photographers in Gaza. And I'm truly ashamed of so much of the Australian media which took so long to even admit a genocide is happening. Huge protests are not covered or literally minimised; headlines mince words to a paste.

About to spend a week with my tribe birdwatching in Kruger National Park. We know from past experience it can take us hours to travel only a few kilometres 😂

Yes, baffled by the Guardian headline: ‘crowds were so huge, lives could have been lost’. Wouldn’t have thought something that didn’t happen was the most newsworthy angle on the march. Cops and journos seem disappointed.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

know your parasites 🪱🕷️🦟

Remember….

Unfortunately most of the American people are not listening. They’ll only understand once it bites them personally, and by then it will be too late.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I think Trump is dumb enough to think you do just drop some bombs and Iran will not retaliate but negotiate. He has the attention span of a 3yo so will get bored within a few weeks, and resentful when coffins of US soldiers start arriving home, and start whining because ‘who knew war was so hard’

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Hi Big T, farmers in the northern Basin have been capturing a relatively small proportion of water flooding over plains for many decades. In 2023, NSW for the first time regulated the practice, requiring licences and metering, cutting back take by about 1/3, and making farmers pay for the water, too

Hi Paul, for the last 20 years or so, farmers have been able to ‘carryover’ any unused water in their accounts and leave it in storage for the next year, so they can better manage the peaks and troughs of water availability through wet and dry years.

In just 130 days, Elon...

-Secured even more contracts

-Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations

-Gutted agencies that regulate his business

-Installed loyalists throughout the government

Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

I liked the toilet signs in western Canada when I visited last year: ‘Whatever. Just wash your hands’.

Exactly. And deflect attention from his failure to find the trillions in DOGE savings he promised would pay for the tax cuts. Now he wants us to think he cares about the deficit? Fuck you, Elon.

I’m all in for watching Elon and the Administration now tear each other apart. Hopefully some good comes of it, as you say.

It did succeed in doing that, but Elon failed on his own terms boasting he would save trillions of dollars. Now US is suffering only the downside and it’s a bit rich for Elon to make out he niw cares about the deficit, when his DOGE fantasy cost more in $ than it saved.

Elon is:
1. Trying the deflect attention from his DOGE failure and its vicious consequences for lives around the world.
2. Attempting to repair his reputation to save Tesla.
Fuck you, Elon.

Says a lot about Stephen Miller that his wife thinks Elon Musk is a step up.

Yes. Yes, you are 🫣

Indeed

Saw one of these signs in a cafe when travelling in the Okanagan valley last year from Australia. Perfect - loved it!
