After several decades of monitoring their activities, it's still odd, even if explicable, to witness public figures express shock & surprise at the existence of nazis in AUS, & almost invariably only when it's thrust in their/our faces. So too, immediate calls for more laws & more police.

Anyway.
'A NYT zine piece in DEC 2024 said despite the post-election surge in Bluesky traffic, the platform never became as “robust (read: fun)” as X, where the “jokes & ideas are more polished” & users can find “more up-to-the-minute analysis” on news & cultural moments.'

Happy anniversary to this gem 💀

In 2020 me & a bunch of people online were making jokes about antifa liberating the animals at the pdx zoo. I ended up even posting a live thread from the fake zoo riot including animal chants and all which resulted in this far right streamer calling the police 😂

This was a good read.

Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie".

I'm not even joking. 😂

Nazis reckon NSW is best chance to run successful electoral campaign for Senate.

Nazis who rallied at parliament want to enter politics. They think NSW is their best shot
Neo-Nazis are on a recruitment drive in a bid to register as a mainstream political party, and they believe a NSW upper house position could be their best bet.

Problem: “In NSW, it is now a crime to intentionally incite hatred vs. people b/c of their race. Race includes things like colour, nationality, ethnicity, descent, or ethno-religious background.”

Solution: Add the word 'Lobby' to 'Jewish', NSW Police will be none the wiser, & Adolf's Yr Unkle!
