From 20203: "Dutton who praised Pell as “an important intellectual figure and a towering presence” said the late cardinal defended federal funding of Catholic schools in the 2000s and upheld Christian ideals." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

Imagine both-sidesing the rise of fascism, genocide, and the collapse of biospheres—and calling it journalism, instead of what it really is: adding your byline to the end of humanity.

“The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records, they’re at a record level.” — and actual quote from the guy who now wants to take Greenland for the mineral and oil wealth exposed by the very climate change he denies.

Ever think about how the same people who say “wake up sheeple” are the same people who use “woke” as an insult?

Hear me out: maybe it IS a big conspiracy?

Just got a warning for using the term “billionaire boot licker” on instagram. I thought Zuck wanted to bring back speech?

Zuck was jealous that Elon was getting so much attention for being the absolute worst, so he decided to speed run destroying his own platforms for attention (and also tax breaks)

The way he is musing about how he could probably scrimp, save and survive off an amount that is only slightly less THAN THE MEDIAN AUSTRALIAN WAGE. And somehow that’s supposed to be a sound argument for keeping JobSeeker at less than half even that?

Good news! Caleb reckons he “could probably live on $800 a week” *checks notes* that’s DOUBLE the JobSeeker rate. With JobSeeker at $778 for singles and Sydney rent at $750, it’d be more than just wine you’d be giving up. Great case for raising the rate, comrade. www.news.com.au/finance/mone...

When the choice is between the people and big profits, it’s always the people who are punished.

We know coal is cooking the planet, and algorithms are cooking our brains. The focus should be on holding multinational corporations accountable, not punishing the people. Yet this week, governments have chosen to make it illegal for kids to use apps and illegal for us to protest coal exports.

Information isn’t truth. But also, are we doing video on this app or what?

Labor and the Coalition have just joined forces to vote down the referral of the newly introduced ‘Electoral Reform Amendment Bill 2024’ to the ‘Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters’ for inquiry. No scrutiny, no public input! #DemocracyFail #auspol

In probably unrelated news I saw a former Australian PM leaving that luxury Circular Quay apartment building a couple weeks ago. Wonder who is going to come to his defence?

When do you think we’ll reach the ~adults flipping out after realising they’ll have to put their government IDs into social media apps and porn websites to get access so it actually works~ stage of the social media ban discourse?

Hate everything about this. Love @thejuicemedia.bsky.social and the fact you can watch YouTube videos in feed on this here app.

We can all agree Twitter was a bigoted fascist doomscrolling hellscape. Bluesky so far is a delightful, insightful place filled with old internet friends. Bloomscrolling if you will. But I can already feel my screen time increasing and I don’t know if I’m happy about that 😕

Qkmth: If Space Karen applies the same 80% cuts to Trump's ‘Dept of Government Efficiency’ as he did at Twitter, it'd mean 1.76M job cuts. Aka a massive labour surplus, pushing unemployment to ~5.25%. Services would become more expensive + wage growth would stagnate 🤪 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why reverse the effects of climate change like we all agreed when we can accelerate them and make some sweet sweet profits instead? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Matt Gaetz, still under investigation for allegedly having s*x with a 17-year-old girl, just announced as AG by Trump? The calls will be coming from inside the (White) House.
