This prison sentence is great to see. I hope the thousands of other trolls who abused Brittany Higgins while she was suffering the traumatic aftermath of being raped consider the damage they did. Their only interest was defending a rapist.

Man jailed over online threats to kill Brittany Higgins and her partner
The judge found David William Wonnocott, who made the threats over social media, had disregarded previous warnings, leniency, and paths to rehabilitation provided by the court.

The one area where this site is inferior to Twitter is the volume of this kind of defeatist bullshit

This is the zero introspection, couch-keyboard-warrior crowd that cannot realize the obvious: your performative online cynicism about liberal democracy is possible only due to its resounding success
What’s this stale romanticization of patriotism and liberal democracies supposed to accomplish, I wonder. The liberal democracies you revere are responsible for countless deaths. And its impossible for you to care for lives that are inconvenient for your politics.
My parents’ generation fought for the liberal democratic society you people despise out of privilege and complacency.

One side failed, the other side succeeded. Democracy is a foundation of a civilized society.

Great idea, privatising a major public hospital. Ideological bastardry from the NSW Libs…

The Orange Oaf and Co-President Musk seem intent on insulting much of the rest of the civilised world. So far it’s Mexico, Canada, Denmark, Greenland, South Africa, New Zealand, Panama, Colombia, Brazil and all of Western Europe. Can’t be long before he comes for us. 🥰

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.

Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Quick thoughts on some really encouraging new numbers on jobs and wages today. Average full time earnings are now $11,000 higher than when this Albanese Labor Government came to office. More to do, but making good progress together. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

Dear ABC, we know Trump’s tweet about Zelensky is a lie. It would be very helpful if you could say that in the headline!

Also, there is only one ‘y’ in Zelensky 🤦🏻‍♀️

First Creative Australia and now the National Gallery betrays artists and their very raison d'etres with these utterly shameful acts of artistic censorship.

Lemme tell ya - it ain't just the kids
Rupert Murdoch tried and failed to cut 3 of his 4 children out of his will, and give it all to one child.

Now apparently they all want him dead.
