Dutton, the 'Wolf of Bridge Street'.*

SMH/The Age: page 1, opening with a sweeping property portfolio before delving into bank shares;

#NewsCorpse (Sydney & Melbourne): buried on page 8; LNP claims of a "grubby hit job" prominent.

Will media reform even come up in the campaign?

If we going to have smart TVs, can we at least have keyboards and mice for them? Do I have to type everything in through a slow janky arrow button interface for the rest of my life like an idiot?

And this graphic is already out of date—as his lead is now down to about 1.5%. Whatever the opposite of a mandate is... this was that.

A squeeze play? A narrow escape?

No, I'm kidding. Corporate media is calling it a mandate and they're never wrong about Trump, so let's go with whatever they say.

Apropos of nothing, but every time a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. video shows up uninvited on my Instagram he is doing something I find either disgusting, unsettling, dangerous, deranged, creepy, unwise, inexplicable, indiscernible, or only questionably legal

I want to wish a particularly Happy Thanksgiving to those whose memories extend all the way back to pre-Election Day

You can learn a lot about our new POTUS just by looking at, I dunno, everything he's ever done and remembering that he's a career criminal, rapist, con man, sexual predator and stuff

100% this.
The most horrendous, harmful stuff I've seen on social media this year has been the countless atrocities carried out by Israel and supported by its Western allies, like us. I would have opted for more pressure to end that, instead of just banning the ability for kids to become aware of the horror.

When I said Kennedy Jr. could eventually kill millions, I meant it. As ever, Trump privileged money and power over everything else in promising DHHS to a madman in exchange for his endorsement.

The death toll America could experience due to the greed of Donald Trump is staggering. Read this report.

To ensure he can keep taking bribes and not reveal any of his donors, foreign or domestic, Trump has refused to sign a very basic ethics document that would allow his transition to proceed as normal.

I think most Americans don't realize how much this endangers all of us, and media is not saying it.

There's not a single comms expert on Earth who fails to understand that this is an attempt to spread disinformation.

When I (perhaps inexplicably) went on HBO in 2019 to talk to Bill Maher, the focus of my one-on-one interview was on how Trump-era scandals occur in plain view and—paradoxically—for that reason are not believed.

The WSJ reports years of secret Putin-Musk calls.

Then Musk bought Trump a presidency.
