What we just witnessed was state-sanctioned Nazism
What on earth did the NSW Police think a rally organised by the National Socialist Network would be about?

Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings

Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies

The avowed Nazi who signed protest application letter to police commissioner
Jack Eltis’ history of public antisemitism and racism raises questions about why the protest outside NSW parliament was never flagged with senior police or politicians.

NSW police and Government can't get to court fast enough to stop a peaceful climate or Palestine rally but don't blink an eye when it comes to a neo-Nazi rally.

It's obvious there are neo-Nazi sympathizers or worse in the NSW Police and they need to be identified. #auspol

Turns out climate change isn’t just cooking the planet — it’s roasting the economy too. Ignoring heatwaves, floods & weird weather means we’re undervaluing global GDP losses by up to 15%. Low-income countries pay the biggest price for everyone else’s emissions

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now.

The "abundance agenda" is an incredibly designed piece of centre-right climate delay

The entire project of climate action comes down to *not extracting and burning fossil fuels*. So if you frame "being against things" as inherently bad, you can pull thousands of ppl into a pro-fossil stance.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

I don't normally buy games on day 1, but I wanted to get in on the ARC Raiders community as it was being formed.
And it's been so fun! A lot of experienced extraction shooter players are blasting on sight, but a lot of others are chilling, joking and even helping one another. It's been great

If he doesn’t change course, the Prime Minister may end up leading exactly the kind of 'shadow government' that he derided his predecessor for.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
