A quick PSA, if you follow me and are a frothing bigot, you'll be blocked. If you're a nice conservative, you'll just be disappointed.

Remember when we had a decade of LNP telling us EV tech wouldn't work, how's that going? Australian company now developing an electric combine harvester if only we could fund such development, instead of fossil fuels, and still suffering oil price shocks. linttas.com

"After more than two weeks of consistent bombing, new US intelligence suggests Iran’s regime is now consolidating power, unlikely to collapse, and led by a cadre more extreme than before." 😬 cato.org/blog/strategic…

Absolute bombshell. The US Treasury Secretary admits on live TV that they are unsanctioning Russian and Iranian oil just to manipulate global prices and save their own economy after starting a disastrous war. The hypocrisy of Washington is fully exposed.

Absolute insanity. Elizabeth Warren exposes how Pete Hegseth fired top military lawyers, calling them roadblocks, and installed his own personal lawyer to water down constraints on killing civilians. He is systematically dismantling the rules of engagement.

Your periodic reminder that thanks to John Howard and others we do not have gas reservation in the East Coast of Australia which is also why fertilizer plants were shut and why farmers do not have enough fertilizer. #auspol

@thebigjohnnyd I’m almost glad those cops were so stupid because we all needed this laugh.

You're laughing? A cop testified under oath that he does not know if Afroman fucked his wife, and you're laughing?

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Longtime users are frustrated with X because it no longer works the way it used to. Back in the early days of Twitter, your reach was simple and direct. If you had 5,000 or 10,000,20,000 followers, your posts were delivered to them in real time. It was a true chronological feed—your tweets showed up in the order you posted them, and your audience actually saw your content. The “old” Twitter (pre-2016) was built around that real-time experience. Your voice reached the people who chose to follow you, without interference. Today, that’s no longer the case. X relies on an algorithm-driven, engagement-based feed, meaning even your own followers may never see your posts unless the system decides to prioritize them. That shift—from a guaranteed audience to an unpredictable algorithm—is why so many longtime users feel frustrated and disconnected.

A three-year-old company operating out of a WeWork with reportedly fewer than five employees is being considered for up to $25 BILLION in nuclear energy funds from a trade deal Trump brokered with Japan. The company has never built a nuclear plant or completed a nuclear project of any kind. What does this company bring to the table? The father of its CEO donated $2 million+ to Trump and the GOP, and one of its advisors is a former RNC co-chair and Trump appointee. In this Administration, that’s apparently all you need.

Yes, Israel lied and dragged the US into this catastrophe. But what’s equally disturbing and obvious is how Israel has been systematically destroying every possible off ramp for the US to end this madness -and not a single leading figure in the US has the guts to point that out.

“Joe Kent under FBI INVESTIGATION.” @RepBrandonGill says the process must play out — but accountability is key. “If he was leaking classified information, he ought to be held accountable, just like anybody else would be.”

King shit. Harris later said he misspoke and should have called Altman the Friedrich Flick of the Trump admin. Flick was an industrialist who earned a fortune during the Nazi era and a war crimes conviction during the Nuremberg Trials. Sounds accurate. #War_crimes_trial" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich…

Burying the lede here: Harris beelined for Altman at a party and called him the Goebbels of the Trump administration

Yesterday, Israel targeted the home of Lebanese journalist Mohammed Sherri, killing him and his wife and injuring his grandchildren. Sherri was the head of political programs at Al Manar TV. While the channel is affiliated with Hezbollah, it remains a media outlet licensed under Lebanese law, and Sherri himself was a civilian. Under international law, this constitutes a crime. Predictably, there will be little to no outrage among many journalists. He was Arab, Muslim, and held views they oppose, apparently sufficient, in some eyes, to render his killing acceptable. #IsraeliCrimes #Lebanon
