"The important Labor factions—including the one to which Albanese is in thrall—are wholly owned subsidiaries of gambling & liquor interests, & Albanese will make any excuse, develop any distinction, make any specious argument to avoid doing anything at all about it."

Why our government protects gambling apps but bans TikTok
Australia’s social media restrictions on children were sold as decisive action on harm. But the policy risks becoming symbolic, unenforceable, and ultimately counterproductive.

STUDY: Denmark tracked over 1,000,000 children for 21 years, and found those who had aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines were linked to a SHOCKING number of cases of autism, asthma, and 48 other chronic conditions. That shocking number was zero.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

🎵 The Net Zero Hokey Pokey
You put your policy in,
You pull net zero out,
You put Paris back in,
Then you shake the logic out
You talk some climate waffle ‘bout the lights going out

You know that time that a major British news organisation mistakenly sought out a random dude who happened to share a name with a former New York mayor in order to go after a left wing New York mayoral candidate? Did anyone resign?

Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations are part of its strategy to keep waging war on Gaza
Here’s Israel's strategy to continue the war on Gaza: find a pretext, no matter how baseless, use it to kill dozens of civilians and fighters, stop fire and claim you’re honouring the ceasefire. Then ...

The generation that experienced WW2 knew how bad things could get. The horrors that they had directly experienced in Coventry, on Omaha, at Belsen, Bastogne, Dresden, Nanjing & Tokyo meant that they understood how dangerous THIS was. This is where all that started.
Dutch anti-Muslim populist Geert Wilders goes full Trump, claiming on X after he lost the election that there are reports of vote fraud. Also claimed the election authority was not neutral. Tearing down the pillars of Dutch democracy. nos.nl/l/2588722
Gemeenten wijzen aantijgingen Wilders over stemgesjoemel van de hand
Wilders stelt op sociale media dat het "berichten regent" van verdwenen of ongeldig verklaarde stemmen. Experts noemen het trumpiaans.

Nationalism is a shibboleth. The challenges we face are daunting. But we are not going to overcome them by hunkering down behind of imaginary lines scrawled on a map by medieval warlords. Our problems are transnational, and the solutions are too.

Air BnB accounts for 160,000 properties that used to be long term rentals.

In 2018 it had 80k it now has projections of 200k by the end of this year.
Rents have risen by 44% in the last 6yrs!
Investors are the problem not immigrants.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.
The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.
Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.
