It's time we stopped calling them "moderates". They are extremists in service to capital. And many of them appear to hate and fear the left of their own party far more than they hate and fear the Republicans. Like Starmer's Labour "centrists" (extremists) in the UK. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

Tall chair (like umpire’s) where Pete sits in a Stars and Stripes suit, bow tie and boater with a megaphone, spruiking: “GET ‘EM BEFORE THEY GO OUT OF STYLE!” “THIS OFFER WON’T LAST!” “THE WORLD’S NOT GETTING ANY SAFER - JUST ASK DONNY!” “SUBS ARE BETTER THE SECOND TIME AROUND!” “NEVER MIND THE MILEAGE, FEEL THE LENGTH!””TINY BIT OF WEAR ‘N’ TEAR BUT WE’LL THROW IN THE DUCT TAPE!” “OUT THEY GO!” “ONE OLD LADY OWNER!”

Luckily, Australia has stringent, much improved nature laws, and the fearless conservation warrior, Environment Minister Murray Watt, so this wonderful plant and Middle Arm's many other threatened species, will be protected! Terrible headline, @news.abc.net.au, but it's all about your perspective.

Labor’s pledge to recognise Palestine is a welcomed development - but unconscionably late and woefully insufficient. It’s been in their platform for years, yet when it mattered they chose inertia. Without immediate sanctions or an arms ban, it’s hollow symbolism at best. Foot-dragging shit.
