Cartoon showing the backyard of a house. Two persons are standing next to various thrash bins, while one says: ‘No, that goes into the green bin. C’mon, the govt really want us to get this right’. Behind the backyard, we see massive data centers of Google, Amazon and Meta.

Data centers have a massive environmental impact. Today’s cartoon by @infiniteguff.com. More cartoons: www.cartoonmovement.com

"The funeral of 165 girls killed by the US & Israel attack on their school.

"This should be on the front page of every Western newspaper.

"Ask yourself: Why isn't it?"

Yep. Great Aussie tradition as everyone knows.

Lunacy.
Marles' Toyz more important than this?

I don't bloody think so.

Excellent. I had the same idea, using Semaphore flags. This is read left to right in lines, like normal text. This site gives the flag definitions:

"Dari Sungai Ke Laut" - that's one for the Indonesians. If every language group shouted that slogan in their own language the cops would be very busy working out what to do about it, wouldn't they? Especially Queensland cops.

Fate deals a strange hand.

This is cartoon level. The man is empty, lost.

You’re meant to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of.

Yet Australian governments are handing out $16.3 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels.

@mattgrudnoff.bsky.social & @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social discuss why on this episode of Dollars & Sense.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

But not to figuring out who’s to blame.

In the US, big money determines who wins the election. In Australia, big money gets to work on those elected.

“Fossil fuel subsidies harm the budget and make climate change worse,” said Rod Campbell, Research Director at The Australia Institute.

We are the shithole nation.
We are the citizens of a rouge, murderous empire.
Our leaders are butchers.

Trump Pedo kit. Price? One democracy.

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert in which a journalist asks Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, " Have you just committed us to a war?" And the PM responds, " No, I've committed us to a (preemptive retaliatory de-escalation action to protect and defend Australians and other citizens in response to a request by our new strategic partner by sending defensive missiles & surveillance equipment to protect the airspace and assist the region with its collective self-defence against reprisal attacks that come as a result of the ongoing operation launched as an anticipatory response to perceived threats by historical allies acting against the established international rule of law who are too powerful for us to in any meaningful way challenge.) There's a very big difference." The words in brackets are arranged in such a way that they completely fill the word WAR written in a huge, hulking, bold khaki font.

A war by any other name.

The brave men of Queensland protecting freedom.

"Finish the job" is a sturdy working-man phrase that completely avoids the horror it entails.

Collective self defence being …?

Here we are: it takes a hero to state the obvious.

"miscalculated" suggests planning and analysis that went wrong.

In reality - this illegal war is the result of a brain fart from a narcissistic, stupid fascist who thought Iran would be like Venezuela.

And nobody around him said no.

Meanwhile, NY Times quaintly pretends Trump is a real president.

The professional editors know what they are doing, and are doing exactly what they want, aware that many readers only take in the headline. It’s an old trick and a good one.

Nuances of language do matter. They influence how people think over time, often subconsciously. Objectivity is hard, but professional editors can do better than this.
