@JeremyTate41 So glad my church only does solemn novus ordo with nice hymns. I think I'd throw up if anyone pulled out an acoustic guitar lol.

And honestly, I’m a convert to Catholicism, but how did Catholics trade this for what sounds like bad 70s music, can we go back already?

Composed in 1638, Allegri’s Miserere was originally intended to only be sung during Holy Week, and to never leave the Sistine Chapel in order to preserve the mystery of the music. Here it is performed by St Paul’s Cathedral Choir.

@k_mahlburg The reserve issue is on multiple governments. Only two refineries left -> can't store national reserve in oil -> refined products have limited shelf life due to higher volatility so can't store as much.
Build mega-refineries and keep the reserve in oil.
English
Australia desperately needs better leadership.
Who decided to cut our fuel reserves to just 30 days? And how do we sack them?

The Energy Minister has revealed six oil ships bound for Australia have been turned back or deferred as our fuel crisis deepens. Tonight, farmers are worried as diesel and fertiliser stocks dry up.

@Matt_Camenzuli Lol just because News.com.au went and talked to some random "experts" doesn't mean anyone is seriously talking about conscription. We don't even involve our troops who are literally sitting on the subs attacking Iran 🤣
Commentators in this country are a joke.
English
There is now talk of military conscription in Australia.
Let's be brutally frank, I have no interest in being drafted or seeing my sons be drafted to fight a foreign war on behalf of an Australian government I do not respect. One that clearly loves to tax but doesn't care.
English
@TheIdiotTax the funniest part is the Coalition "explaining" the dangers of the net zero immigration will actually increase ONP's vote share because those "dangers" are the reason why people want it...

@avidseries Israel does the USA's dirty work for them, and has an intelligence apparatus inside the Middle-East that the US depends upon.
Renegotiate the aide, sure. Cut them off? Short-sighted mistake.
English
It's good to see influential conservatives like Rufo push back against all the absurdities on the right — much of which is driven by troglodyte anti-Semitism — but percolating above all this is something few people are talking about: Polling showing that normie young conservatives are becoming much more critical of Israeli policies and of the automatic GOP support for them.
This is good for the Republican Party, and ultimately good for America.

@john_macgowan @R4dicalCentrist Fallen is great, just watched recently.
I liked Man on Fire a lot when it came out but I need to re-watch. That flashy Tony Scott style makes me uber nostalgic, RIP.
English
Ah, have to disagree with you there. Denzel, in his 22 year heater, took some of the trashiest genre scripts and elevated them to high art. Virtuosity (which is also one of Russel Crowe's best movies), Fallen (a forgotten classic of 90s grimecore noir), Man on Fire (which would have been an unwatchable Tony Scott clip reel if not for his performance) and the Book of Eli, forgetable early 10s post apocalypse cash in that Denzel should have got an Oscar for.

Unpopular opinion: Ryan Gosling in The Nice Guys was better genre specific acting than anything the other have churned out.

@DrewPavlou Drew, I will respond to your messages for free - I am world famous for my Drew Pavlou impression.
"Look, I'm Drew Pavlou at the first Thanksgiving... 'Yiasou, pilgrims.'"
English
CALL OUT FOR SUPPORT
Right now I am objectively doing better and more extensive work than most mainstream journalists - the President of the United States rings the Australian Prime Minister at 2 AM over my Tweets.
My stats: 140 million monthly social media impressions, 550,000 followers across all platforms, almost 200 K new followers just since January.
I believe I can do even better work if I build a team around me.
I work 80 hour weeks. Right now the bottleneck is literally just that I’m doing everything by myself. I spend dozens of hours a week being spiritually raped with soul crushing and time consuming admin tasks that distract me from producing content.
I need to hire a staff member to help me with:
- Research
- Editing and clipping videos
- Replying to the thousands of messages I receive each week
Imagine if I had my time freed up to just produce content 24/7.
I want to do five live ''Drew Pavlou Show'' episodes a week. Clip up segments from each show. Spam the airways. Produce 2-3 long form Substack blog posts a week, 2-3 long from video essays a month, PLUS big investigative journalis pieces like my work exposing NDIS fraud.
In my ideal world I would release:
- 200 daily live show episodes a year
- 30 to 40 podcast interviews a year
- 100 long form blog posts a year
- 25 video essays a year
- 5 long form investigative documentaries a year
This is what I want to do. I would like to produce even more content so that I can change politics in Australia and influence hundreds of thousands of people to change their votes.
If you are a patriotic billionaire, please consider funding me to hire 2 or 3 guys. I am smarter and more effective than most mainstream journalists, I have talent, I just need a professional structure and team.

@proteinwisdom This whole clip is insufferable, and I'm gonna be honest when Tucker started doing his Tucker response the lady didn't handle it the best.
No idea why the comments under the QT think this is a gotcha from Tucker... Was the real 1% all along just people who aren't retarded?
English
I’ve been raising the alarm about this account. It’s making its move away from Covid, where it was excellent, into alt-right messaging, though it’s been cagey about it.
Just something to keep an eye on.
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox
A reporter asks Tucker Carlson if Israel has a “right to exist.” Tucker flips the question right back and asks her to define what “right to exist” means. And then this happened.

@WellsJorda89710 I'm Catholic and I am sick of Candace. Protestants & Catholics need to unite in realizing she is an insufferable idiot.
English
🚨"Too Smart to Be Protestant"? Candace Owens Mocks Charlie Kirk's Faith – But Forgets Protestantism Built America🚨
Candace told a Catholics for Catholics crowd Charlie was "too smart to be a Protestant."
Truth: Protestant principles—religious liberty, individual faith, Scripture alone—fueled the Reformation & America's founding. Without them, no USA as we know it.
She only converted to Catholicism after marrying her husband.
I respect many Catholics as fellow believers, but we worship **JESUS**, not the pope.
Her "joke" divides Christians when we need unity. Hate isn't holy. ✝️🇺🇸

When electricity is very cheap, EVs will be awesome.
Unfortunately a lot of countries have gutted their generation capability in pursuit of net zero (including my home, Australia) driving prices up quite high.
What I want to see is an ongoing costs comparison that includes battery replacements over the lifetime of the vehicle.
English
There is a huge misconception when people claim it only takes 5 minutes to fill up a gas tank versus charging an EV.
Here are the key considerations:
1. The typical time spent at a gas pump is 8–9 minutes, but it varies:
- Circle K: 8.9 minutes
- Sheetz: 11.5 minutes
- Wawa: 11.4 minutes
- Buc-ee’s: 20.3 minutes
2. Filling up requires driving to the station, which can take 10–45 minutes depending on your location and the nearest station.
3. Oil changes and maintenance take time and money (even if you do them yourself, you still have to buy oil and perform the work). EVs eliminate this entirely.
4. Home charging takes seconds to plug in, and you wake up to a full charge the next day.
5. In March, I spent $9 on electricity while current gas prices are $3.49/gallon—a savings of over $60 in fuel for the month.
6. Adding up time and money saved over a year comes to roughly 15–30 hours and over $750, and I don’t even drive that much.
EV’s save you time and money and once you have one you’ll never go back to gas.

@allie_m734 @ChavuraStephen I have no idea if the bloke in the OP was panic buying, and I never said he was. I simply made the point that the reason rural servos are running dry is because people are buying more than they need. It doesn't matter if one person is or isn't, but how the masses are behaving.
English
@BasedDownUnder @ChavuraStephen 🤣 wouldn't worry me as I never have breakfast! 😉
Look I agree with you re panic buying but I don't make assumptions on situations without not knowing the details....
English
Could be a farmer who needs fuel for a summer harvest so we can be fed?

English
@allie_m734 @ChavuraStephen Never said he was, I said that panic buying is what is drying up regional servos. So far supply has not been affected, though prices to import future crude or refined products is more expensive.
Btw, how would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?
English
@BasedDownUnder @ChavuraStephen who said he is panic buying - he may well do this on a regular basis, but previous times there haven't been paranoid onlookers filming him
English
@james_luke08 @BorealBaron Historically, yes.
In the current conflict, no. To the point that Australian Navy personnel aboard a US sub when the attack started were told to sit back and not do anything. Lol.
English
@BasedDownUnder @BorealBaron And Australia hasn't provided intelligence, arms, training and technolody as well as actual boots on the ground?
English
Australia has contributed troops to every war the US has fought in the last 100 years, including Korea and Vietnam. Meanwhile, Israel has contributed troops to no US or European-led wars. If there’s no shared sacrifice, how is alliance measured other than by propaganda?
Pisco@PiscoLitty
Ben Shapiro says in a recent video it is a "form of sedition" that our allies, Canada, UK, Australia, EU, etc. do not join America and Israel's war with Iran. That those countries are not actually allies. After years of Trump attacks, threats, tariffs. Is he insane?
English
@BnejiBneji5 @BorealBaron Well, Israel isn't even in NATO so... That's fine?
English
@BasedDownUnder @BorealBaron So that means the us can pay them more than they pay into nato funds?

@GraduatedBen The Romans made New Year's Day in January, named after Janus, to keep us slaves to habit? I knew it!
English
You were never meant to change your habits in the dead of winter.
That’s why they made “New Year’s Day” in January (look up who was behind that one). To keep you a slave to habit. To keep you from locking in.
Until 1752, Protestant Britain’s New Year fell on March 25th. Protestants rioted when the government bowed to the pressure of foreign merchants and adopted the papist calendar.
Tonight is the night that our oldest steppe ancestors celebrated the New Year. Spring is here, and with it the possibility of change. Now is the time to make your resolutions.

@RachelR1221 @PamelaNTenn @Fair_and_Biased @MattWalshBlog When has she been dishonest in any meaningful way?
English
@PamelaNTenn @Fair_and_Biased @MattWalshBlog Thank you. Yes, focusing on the truth does show Erika to be a liar.
English
.@MattWalshBlog said that there may never have been a person in history subjected to the scrutiny & slander Erika is enduring.
Imagine not even being able to buy clothing w/out ppl leaking the info to wicked influencers.
P.S.- It’s not 1800. Ppl don’t buy “mourning clothes.”
They simply wear black/dark colors.
Britta | NoSoup4Knowles@nosoup4knowles
Omigoshhhhhhh I just now saw this. They're really shaming Erika for buying comfortable clothes to wear at home after her husband died????

@0hour1 Good to hear, just sad that it ever even needed to happen.

Because back in the old days it was pronounced 'lick-our'.

What the hell they didn’t even get it right. It’s obviously “lips that touch wine shall never touch mine.” By the way, the women’s Christian temperance union were a bunch of lunatic hard-core left progressives. You guys think that left-wing women acting like insane terrorists in the street is new but it’s not. I have to write a piece on this because it’s so crazy. I’ve been meaning to get around to it for the last couple of years, but every time they pop up, I’m reminded of how insane they were. Everyone actually thinks they were Christian (not really).

@RestoreAussies It's not just about closing them either... Our refineries are old af and have small throughout, we need to build big modern refineries that can serve an entire seaboard.
English
We have a monstrous amount of our own oil reserves, all sadly untapped due to ideological reasons. The tragedy, is that our hyper liberalised rulers saw fit to completely deindustrialise us, with only two refineries left in working order.
We therefore have to import 90% of our fuel, over immensely vast distances. We are ruled by career politicians, who are sadly marxist and liberal ideologues. They have very little idea of the vast amount of diesel, kerosine and petroleum that our nation requires to function, and prefer to kneel at the altar of net zero.
Australia needs a complete clear out of the political class. Australia needs a restoration 🇦🇺
Melinda Richards 🇦🇺🇺🇸@goodfoodgal
Over the last 20 years, Australia has closed 6 of its 8 oil refineries. We continue to be a country reliant on others for our own prosperity. We should be a super power. Instead we have failed to capitalise on our natural wealth & develop our economic capability.
