Obviously it must be a TOTAL FREAKY COINCIDENCE that US is provoking a war with Venezuela who ALSO happens to have the largest supply of Crude Oil reserves in the world. /s

Fact Check : the major suppliers/sources of drugs to US is Mexico/Columbia/Cuba/Ecuador - clearly not Venezuela.

I think the Hon eSafety Commissioner may need a career change after today's #fail & comments like this. I hear the Daily Mirror might be hiring, they need someone to write a follow up to their "INTERNET MAY BE JUST A PASSING FAD AS MILLIONS GIVE UP ON IT" article from '2000.

Shocked* This seems to be going almost as well as ALP's 2012 Australian Censorship/internet filter. Stay tuned for "we didn't knows" from ALP in about 2 years.

Just In: In a media address today Albanese said there is a very high chance the social media ban will be a winner and urged all Australian kids follow him for more expert tips on AlbosHotBets @ sportingbet dot com.

Scorecard of things Albo has or hasn't saved kids from as PM :

✅ Condescending Social Media Posts from Politicians
❌ Impacts of Climate Change
❌ Gambling Ads
❌ Poverty/Housing Shortage
❌ Social Isolation
❌ Harmful Online Content
❌ "Algorithms"

Albo sounds like he's just had about 5 drinks too many on this video which will apparently be shown in classrooms around the country. Perhaps he's secretly suggesting under 16's take up drinking as a coping strategy. 🤔

Age Verified (KWS/Photo). Interesting that BluSky are proactively doing this even though they weren't on the list of banned social media sites.
I was really hoping it would tell me what age it thought I was post scan (with hope it was say I was younger). 😂

Who knew 'Philosophically Aligned' was the politically correct way of saying 'bottom feeding racist c*nt'.

Meanwhile in WWJD.
Just drove past this Church.. no wait - it's a real estate agency... no - wait it's both... clearly they are doing the Lord's work. I wonder if they sell used cars too?

That escalated quickly... Maybe they will be able to put out the bushfires with hot air + election promises given the datacenters will be needing that water instead. #auspol

Well it looks like @australia.theguardian.com updated their headline from 'No EV in Australia..' to 'No Ev's road-tested in Australia...' (and now begins with 'Of the models tested...').

Good to see they've done the right thing and have corrected this now.

Is it an (Anti) Immigration 'Protest' or a 'Hate Rally'?

(For all the stupid people in the back - journalists from TheAge/ABC/Newscorp, FTA TV, and most of our politicians sadly including Anthony 'also good people' Albanese).

F*cking pathetic ABC - ‘both sidesing” this by calling a White Supremacist ‘hate rally’ a ‘protest’ and then the actual protest against this unacceptable behaviour a rally. Their reporting is getting more and more indistinguishable from Newscorp every day.

What a farce. Mark Dreyfus - Zionist/IHRA supporter, Gaza Genocide denier, who went on a taxpayer funded junket to Israel this year to ensure Australia maintained a 'close friendship' with a government run by war criminals has been appointed as 'special envoy on international human rights'.

We had the one that looked like this (I think it's been updated/ruined since then by new company that sells it).

In which TheAge/Fairfax platforms hate speech & the incoherent ramblings of a despot as a legitimate news story and makes it their headline story.

Assuming Amber prices don't include GST (?) - here is previous 24hrs - the red line is the ex-GST import price I am paying with Globird on current plan.
November 24, 2025 at 12:03 AM
For my postcode :
My import price spike starts around 3pm and exceeds what I'm paying now (22c) through to ~7:30am. That's unfortunately the exact window where I'd typically be importing. Similarly feedin only offering good prices when I'd not be exporting unless I forced it.

The notion that either Australia or Turkey should be hosting COP31 when both countries have a rating of 'POOR' on Net Zero according to climate action tracker is a complete farce.
The $300m stripping of funding from CSIRO by ALP makes it even more absurd.

You have to wonder at this point if LNP and One Nation will form a far right coalition going into the next election. Their policies are almost 100% aligned & they'd pose a huge threat to ALP if they managed to consolidate candidates into each electorate to not cannibalize each others votes.

If you get the urge to test/review one of these (there are a bunch of similar ones on AliXpress). It claims they are specifically designed to work with Apple Find My network (so also don't work with Android) wonder if Apple have allowed this or they are hijacking the protocol. They are way cheaper.
