One Nation supporters are just as fucking stupid as MAGA supporters. They think they are voting for an outsider but their moronic racist grifting figurehead is owned by the exact same billionaire that owned their former party. Morons.

Albanese being shit and the LNP being a dumpster fires is not an adequate reason for voting for Hitler. Change the system through progressive independents and Greens.

They call themselves alpha but they fail at everything. They call themselves Patriots but they live to destroy the country. They call themselves tough but they are afraid of a picture of a rainbow. They call themselves the silent majority but they never stop fucking whinging.

Fossil fuel subsidies from the Albanese Govt are expected to be $16.3BILLION in 2025/2026 which is a 9% INCREASE from the year before. That’s $31,000 per minute of taxpayer money subsidies multi billion dollar companies that pay little to no tax. This alone should end his Prime Ministership.

This wealthy Bay Area beach town is battling to save one road. Billions of dollars in real estate is at stake
A road to some of the Bay Area’s most expensive real estate will flood when the seas rise. When the county said it might not fix it, homeowners threatened “billions in liability.”

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!! Data provided by doi.org/10.24381/cds....
Line graph time series of 2-m air temperature anomalies for the Arctic in every October from 1979 to 2025. There is a long-term warming trend, and 2025 is the warmest on record in this time series. Data is from ERA5 with a 1981-2010 climate baseline used for calculating the anomalies.
