This is the most embarrassing thing I have read in a long time. Like. I’d call them babies except our children are forced to be stronger and more mature than these weak ass turds since god forbid we do anything about school shootings.

Frontier Economics farting out numbers to a compliant news.corp and AFR is a good reminder that many in the press gallery see their role to just regurgitate rather than report.

Michelle Bullock told homeowners struggling to pay their mortgages that “some may ultimately make the difficult decision to sell their homes”.

Three weeks earlier, the Commonwealth Bank announced profits of $9.1 billion for 2023-24.

It's not a housing crisis, it's a greed crisis.

The upshot: I am a biographer of both Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and I cannot assure anyone reading this that either man is loyal to the United States.

Trump won the popular vote by 1.5% this year, which according to @piersmorgan.bsky.social was Democrats getting "pounded into total, shameful, humiliating oblivion."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: "Would you have said the same thing about [Trump] in 2020 who lost by a 4.5% margin nationally?"

"No."

About 2 weeks ago (on the old place) a number of people highlighted that Macca on Australia All Over was allowing misinformation about climate change and renewable energy to go straight to air without balance or fact-checking
