Here's me. "When Murdoch’s tabloid failed Liverpool the people kicked it out of town for good. What’s stopping Melbourne?" theshot.net.au/general-news/…

Melbourne should do to the Herald Sun, as the people of Liverpool did to Murdoch's The Sun. Ban the cesspit of a paper from our city. During this second wave they have been hugely divisive & dangerous. They're against the public health of all Victorians. #COVID19Vic

If you see someone buying this, you have a duty to tell them why it’s a terrible idea.

My thrift shop find of the week is this still sealed copy of Anthem for the Xbox One, locked away in a glass cabinet.

Witches! This week’s challenge for our #NewsCorpse campaign. Have a polite convo with the owner/manager of a cafe stocking a Murdoch paper for patrons, and ask why they’re helping #ClimateCriminals. Ask them to consider providing an alternative. Report back here. #ToYourBrooms

Morning, Australia. I have some questions about this article in the @Australian that claims "fire bugs" are fuelling the scale of the country's bushfire disaster. Something smells very, very off about the numbers. drive.google.com/file/d/1Fn5…

The darkest orange is the area that had its hottest daytime temperatures on record (data back to 1910) for December just gone. I’ve never seen anything like it. bom.gov.au/jsp/awap/temp/ind…

I thought you forcing a woman to shake your hand & turning your back was bad. Now you do this, forcing a firefighter to shake your hand. @ScottMorrisonMP WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? #auspol #NSWbushfires #nswfires #ScottyFomMarketing #dismisstheprimeminister #NotMyPM #Ausfires

Scott Morrison forcing this woman to shake his hand, then ignoring her and walking away when she tells him she doesn’t want a handshake unless he gives more funding to the RFS, is fucking disgusting - even by his low standards. #bushfiresAustralia #auspol – at Sydney, New South Wales

IF THE TOWNS OF BEGA, MALLACOOTA AND/OR LAKES ENTRANCE ARE LOST TO FIRE TODAY AND THEY FIND DEAD BODIES STILL IN THEIR HOUSES, WILL WE STILL HAVE A PM TRAVELLING TO INDIA TO SPRUIK FOR COAL IN A COUPLE OF DAYS? ASKING FOR A DISGUSTED, OUTRAGED AUSTRALIA. #vicfires #NSWfires

THREAD: Friends, Romans, Mutuals, I come to bury Thinkspot (Jordan Petersons new social media platform) not to praise it. After months of waiting I have finally received my invite to the beta version and (predictably) it's a flaming mess. It's also ripe for memeing or takeover.
