Retired subeditor (do subeditors ever really retire?). Rager against bigots, racists, fwits ... which is why I’m walking on air after my local MP, Peter Dutton, was unceremoniously dumped.

Check where we are on the globe, maybe there's a reason why southern greasy grooves, beefy sounds, slinky slide & beer-soaked keys feel natural for Melbourne's Sweet Talk. Getting stoned in Qld is only the start of it, like bringing back the Dingoes. www.bernardzuel.net/post/sweet-t...

Grief and gratitude: The power of personal tributes The rules governing the aesthetics of her daughter’s gravesite inspire the author to a small but meaningful act of defiance.

How much Climate 200 has donated to 19 independent candidates Political funding body Climate 200 is bankrolling up to 75 per cent of campaign costs for several independent candidates this election.

Interesting, and seriously disappointing, that Ellie Smith, the independent candidate in Dutton's seat of Dickson, didn't disclose her donations, including that from Climate 200. What's she hiding, and why? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Australia budget 2025: the seven graphs you need to see | Greg Jericho These are pure Labor tax cuts – just what the ALP should be all about – but why are we still letting gas companies get off scot-free?

The treasurer quietly let Taylor bang on and on about the inability to afford a tax cut, and then he slapped down two pretty decent tax cuts.

I haven’t seen a plan come together this well since Road Runner painted a tunnel on a cliff face.
