Matthew 7:5 (NIV): "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." - Jesus Christ, the grand master of #whataboutery. Only on Twitter is exposing hypocrisy not a virtue - don't accept it.

Activist: "Cattle are destroying the Amazon." Farmer: "I'm in Cumbria." Activist: "But globally, the system." Farmer: "My cattle eat grass. From this hillside. Where the grass grows because it rains seven months a year." Activist: "Soy is being grown for cattle feed." Farmer: "Soy is grown for soybean oil. The leftover meal goes to chickens and pigs, mostly. My cattle haven't seen a soybean." Activist: "But cattle in Brazil." Farmer: "I'm still in Cumbria." Activist: "We need to reduce meat consumption." Farmer: "Whose meat." Activist: "All meat." Farmer: "So the Amazon problem and the Cumbrian solution get the same treatment. Brilliant. While you're at it, send a strongly worded email to the rain. It's been overproducing grass for centuries and the cow keeps eating the evidence."

This is what 65%+ disapproval looks like.

This tech revolutionized complex shapes forever. Before this machine,making complex curved surfaces was slow, expensive and inaccurate.

We're back to begging Beijing to fix it?

This is the man Australia's major politicians suck up to.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Painfully predictable that the @guardian would push the Trump regime towards an even more reactionary position on China. Is it so difficult to understand the situation? • Taiwan was annexed from China by Japan in 1895. • It was clearly agreed by the Allied powers that Taiwan would return to Chinese control after WW2. • The Truman administration sent the US Navy to the Taiwan Strait in order to prevent Taiwan's incorporation into the People's Republic of China and use/abuse Taiwan as part of the US's first island chain containment strategy. • Taiwan's de facto self-governance is thus a colonial hangover. • 95% of the world's countries (including the US and Britain) recognise the People's Republic of China and accept that Taiwan is a province of China. • China will never give up on the historic mission of reuniting the country, nor should anyone expect it to. • The US selling arms to Taipei and encouraging separatist forces is a deliberate tactic of creating tensions and nurturing a potential flashpoint for a full-scale war on China. • As such, any thinking human being who opposes war and supports justice should demand that Western governments stop cultivating Taiwanese separatism and instead follow the basic principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. • Clearly, this is not a category that includes the editors of the Guardian.

@RealMarkLatham @Batman2242 @FreeThinkingUK @JEChalmers Growth in what though? Not manufacturing, not productive industries.

@Batman2242 @FreeThinkingUK @JEChalmers Probably because the Keating reforms gave Australia the longest continuous period of economic growth in the history of the developed world

Paul Keating gave us the recession with 17% interest rates. And @JEChalmers did his PhD on Paul Keating, because Keating was such a brilliant economist. WHY ?

@kordezza @OneNationAus Sigh. I presume so. They are bastards. Isn't ON supposed to be different than them?

@RobbieBarwick @OneNationAus You know Labor and LNP have done the same right?

Hey @OneNationAus - what do you have to say about two of your prominent social media boosters creating fake parties to mislead voters?

@iamjakimac @cheryl_kernot @OneNationAus He's pathetic.

@RobbieBarwick @cheryl_kernot @OneNationAus What do you think about Albo lying so much Robert? Why is deception from the Countries leader just swept under the carpet?

Nvidia did not lose China because China stopped wanting AI. Nvidia lost China because Washington forced China to build AI without Nvidia. That is the real backfire. Sanctions were supposed to preserve America’s technological lead. Instead, they trained the world’s largest AI market to abandon the American stack. Jensen Huang understands the danger: once China’s chips, frameworks, developers, and software ecosystem mature together, they do not just replace Nvidia in China. They become an alternative global standard. And that is how America loses its monopoly over AI development.

‼️Kaja Kallas threatened Russia with sanctions for ignoring the sanctions: "We are outraged by the Kremlin's irresponsible attitude towards the sanctions. What is this but a manifestation of imperial ambitions? We urge Moscow to come to its senses and treat the work of European officials with respect!"

The long-running conspiracy doesn’t end with NASA—it ends with India. For decades, Apollo 11’s 1969 landing has fueled theories of staged scenes. But now, an independent space agency has stepped in with clarity. India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter passed over the Sea of Tranquility, capturing high-resolution imagery of the exact landing site. Inside that marked circle lies the Lunar Module’s descent stage—the very structure Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left behind. Captured by ISRO, not NASA, this image stands as powerful third-party confirmation: the hardware remains exactly where it was left over 50 years ago.

It's stupid and cowardly to say "don't talk to China". We talked to Russia during the Cold War. We're not even at war with China. What are you afraid of? Unless you think your adversary is way smarter than you, talk to them. It's pathetic to be scared of talking to China.

This Friday night there will be a live debate between the candidates for the Farrer by-election hosted by Karl Stefanovic in Albury. Jamie Bonnefin our candidate for Farrer will be representing People First. Details can be found at the link below. I look forward to seeing you there.

@AlboMP @leftboomer @takaichi_sanae We have a memorial to a war crimes denier. Aussie POWs are shoved aside for geopolitics 🙄

People ask me why I'm so fond of goats. Here's why. A goat will wander up the side of a Welsh cliff that a sheep wouldn't attempt and a hiker wouldn't survive, eat the brambles and gorse and thistles that nothing else on the farm can stomach, and turn the lot into milk so digestible that even the people allergic to cow's dairy can drink it without incident. She thrives on land that grows nothing else. She fertilises it as she goes. She maintains scrubland that would otherwise become a fire hazard. She produces milk with smaller fat globules and a different protein structure to cow's milk, which is why human infants have been raised on it for ten thousand years when nothing else was on offer. Her cheese is the oldest cheese on earth. Her meat fed the Mediterranean before olive oil was a brand. Her hide bound the first books. Her hair made the tents that crossed the Sahara. Her milk built the Maasai and the Berbers and the goatherds of every uplands the planet has. And the modern response to all of this has been to tell us she is somehow the wrong animal. The cheek of it. I'll back the creature that has fed humans on every continent except Antarctica over an almond drink invented by a man with a blender in 1998.

@StevePHolland @OneNationAus I'm interested in their view of the ethics of blatantly manipulating voters like this.

@RobbieBarwick @OneNationAus One Nation has publicly opposed group voting tickets for quite a while.

Look at the charts, which show the US stock market has grown from $17 trillion to $74 trillion since 2006. Has the US economy grown fourfold in those 20 years?

@AvidCommentator I have a theory that one reason for the burst in productivity post-war, aside from the policy settings, was the large labour force of returned soldiers who knew how to get shit done.

The year is 1949, Britain has emerged from WW2 deep in debt and stuck with rationing until 1954. Yet despite this, during the 1949 calendar year Britain would build over 205,000 new homes. The total for 2025? 170,400.
