The war makes it more urgent for journalists to call out Trump’s derangement | Press Watch The commander-in-chief is unfit for duty.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

That would be an interesting re-scaling - by fraction of each country’s consumption.

Wonder if @vcdgf555.bsky.social can say how long it’s been since a submarine torpedoed and sunk (sank?) a surface warship?

β€œBounty is completely stuck.” Much like this season of Survivor. #SurvivorAU

Years too late (and Ms Henderson deserves no sympathy) but I’ll take it. Finally the one-trick scumbag is off the air #fuckoffkyle #longoverdue

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

An unstable leader in charge of nuclear weapons is a good enough reason for regime change? Well Donny old mate, I’ve got some bad news for you… #fucktrump #usaisajoke

Epic Fury eh? I thought that was the Secret Service’s code name for Trump shitting in his pants. #OperationEpicFury

What if we edit everything really lazily and then cover up not much happening with overly dramatic music? #SurvivorAU

Of course Lakemba makes Pauline Hansen feel unwelcome. That’s because she is a massive piece of shit who is unwelcome in most places in Australia.

β€œAlbanese is cementing a legacy of cautious, centrist incrementalism at a time when he could be making reforms that would make a material difference in people’s lives, addressing the inequality and stacked deck that has plagued Australians for the past 30 years.” 100% agree. C’mon Albo, be bold.

Those Mongolian lamb puffs look pretty good. Was surprised to see 1996 - the yellow gives 70’s vibes.

Can you just imagine the reaction by Trumpty Dumpty if one of the Obamas posted something insulting about him? The Trump Presidency - brought to you by corruption and a fragile ego…

Good lord! Air pollution was linked to 182,000 deaths in the EU in 2023. This explains why the EU wants to cut air pollution. I knew that air quality in the Italian Po Valley and in part of Poland were particularly bad but wouldn't have expected such high numbers. Source: buff.ly/s62aXST

Western civilisation is dying of consumption.

Huge cars, handbags with logos, branded water bottles, oversized baby accessories… Just a rampant waste of natural & financial resources. #consumeless #growthforgrowthssake #capitalismisoptional

Hands down favourite - Diamonds are Forever. β€œWho is your floor?”, Klaus Hergersheimer and his radiation shields, and all of the Vegas silliness. Plus - despite the casual sexism - it features a progressive, generally positive portrayal of a same sex relationship.

Nation confident in ability to guess the alleged bomber’s race based on lack of β€˜terrorist’ label

While the dictionary may suggest that terrorism is when anyone uses unlawful violence for political means, many understand that the application of the term becomes impacted by 'other factors'...

This is not my land

It is stolen

This is not a day of celebration

We should all learn our true history, and listen to the voices of the First Nations people who have been here for thousands of years, not just the invaders' of the last 238

Respect and decency must be paramount

Secret Police have no place in a free America.
