It's a shame that left & non-regime journalists are still focusing on and replaying Schmit's self-own and failed gotcha moment over and over instead of Sen. Cory Booker's 12 min speech in full. What most journalists magnify reflects the algorithms that keep us in the same downward spiraling loop.

'Power is its own constituency. It exists to protect itself.' Authoritarianism sounds scary, but it arrives bit by bit. We're already doing the work for some grim future. Will be talking about this and more at Sydney Opera House's Curious program this Sunday. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/28/r...

Don't think Australia is immune to authoritarianism

Nobody wakes up to sudden authoritarianism. We relinquish ourselves to it by allowing our favoured government to get away with bending norms and rules. Over time, these bends become clean breaks.

Top U.S. military leaders have reportedly advised Pete Hegseth against extending the war on Iran because operations in the Middle East have degraded the Pentagon’s ability to confront threats elsewhere.

Australian right-wing politicians & media copy this Red Scare playbook demonising a fairer deal. Our “centrist” Labor government is shackled by this playbook Reich exposes. Our conditions aren’t as bad as the US, but the Right of #Auspol (like the Gina Machine) wants exactly that. Watch the video.

In Gaza, children are coping with the psychological trauma of war and poverty through breakdancing. For many students at a local dance school, breakdancing is not just a hobby, but a way to release the stress and negativity built up over years of conflict.

Rest in peaches, Wendell Berry. And because I am not as well adjusted as he: God dammit, cosmos, take the destroyers and leave us the artists.

A Meeting

In a Dream I meet
my dead friend. He has,
I know, gone long and far,
and yet he is the same
for the dead are changeless.
They grow no older.
It is I who have changed,
grown strange to what I was.
Yet I, the changed one,
ask: "How you been?"
He grins and looks at me.
"I been eating peaches
off some mighty fine trees."

These data centers are having a devastating impact on humanity. If they weren’t so incredibly selfish, they’d find a way to use solar, recycle water and make these massive creations smaller and silent. Hopefully, the public outrage will force them to comply.
