How very hypocritical for Moira to be concerned for the lesbians’ welfare when your policy is to ban marriage equality and remove children from their same-sex parents.

It’s so hypocritical for Moira to be ‘defending’ lesbians when her party platform is to outlaw same-sex marriage and remove children from their same-sex families.
Hmm just blocked by @MoiraDeemingMP for pointing out her Family First policy detail.

Yesterday, Putin revealed that Russian authorities are "in close touch" with Elon Musk about the technology Ukraine needs to defend itself.
Our new report @TheAtlantic investigates how @elonmusk went from supporting Ukraine to coordinating with Moscow.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

I feel more people should be discussing Pauline Hanson suing over a satirical song about her back in 1997 and 2003.
@PPantsdown (Simon Hunt) released a song, 'I'm A Backdoor Man' that arranged Hanson soundbites to have her saying . . . 'I'm very proud that I'm not natural. I'm a backdoor man for the Ku Klux Klan' and 'I'm a very caring potato', among other words of wisdom.
Interestingly, Hanson's so-called support of satire escaped her and through her lawyers, she lodged defamation proceedings in the QLD courts, arguing the satire was injurious and defamatory and the lyrics and audio imputations falsely portrayed her as:
• a homosexual, a transvestite/man, or a prostitute
• engaging in unnatural sexual practices or pedophilia
• associating with the Ku Klux Klan
• being a subhuman or a "caring potato"
(please try to read that with a straight face)
The proceedings resulted in the granting of an injunction in Pauline Hanson's favour restraining the continued publication of the satirical material.
After remaining legally dormant for roughly five years, Hanson reactivated the existing defamation case in the Supreme Court of Queensland in mid-2003. Legal analysts and media noted that Hanson revived the lawsuit specifically around the same time she was facing high-profile criminal charges and prison time for electoral fraud.
Anywhoo, it seems Pauline Hanson and her team of bald men are very happy to cruelly and sadistically mock others, especially women with disabilities, but when it comes to mocking Pauline, that so-called sense of humour suddenly vaporises.

George W. and Laura Bush are backing James Talarico against Trump's terrible candidate Ken Paxton
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The article shown names Barbara Bush, daughter of George W. and Laura Bush, who gave $2,500 to a PAC backing Talarico, and George W.'s brother Neil Bush, who said he voted for Talarico. It does not report that George W. or Laura Bush back him. hoodline.com/2026/10/second…

Elon Musk is without a doubt the most grotesque example of extreme wealth being mistaken for virtuous genius that I’ve ever seen, no contest.
A dude whose business empire has had the exceptional luxury of upwards of $38 BILLlON in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits that lectures us on government waste, fraud, and abuse.
He takes a literal fucking chainsaw to government aid, while hundreds of thousands die from the lack of access, and simultaneously engorges himself at the public pig trough of endless money.
He then takes the grift cash to buy elections, outright rig them, gains extraordinary access to the backrooms and convinces panting sycophants that he’s “fighting the establishment.”
He IS the establishment.
Years and years of missed deadlines, self driving promises just around the corner. Spectacular theatrical marketing presentations presented as new technology, with an army of ball riding zombies to explain why his latest failure is actually evidence of 5D chess wizardry.
All in line to be the friend he doesn’t have.
He was emailing Epstein to find about the “wildest parties” on child rape island, and you people still clamber.
Speaking of mouth breathing followers, the cult surrounding him is even more disturbingly dangerous.
Every glaring contradiction becomes an insult worthy misunderstanding.
Every dumb comment is a masterpiece. Every legitimate totally fair criticism becomes proof that the questioner is stupid, jealous, or secretly working against humanity itself.
It’s so blatantly a cult.
At what point does this bizarre admiration become deliberately and completely giving up independent thought?
You can acknowledge the success of his companies and the remarkable engineering feats without cosplaying that he’s some infallible prophet.
And give his employees some credit.
He’s a trillionaire with huge political influence, a pretty pathetic appetite for public attention indicative of someone that’s insecure, and a documented history of promise after promise that he doesn’t deliver on.
Please, don’t confuse money with intelligence.
They rarely go hand in hand.
Also, realize that proximity to great power is not synonymous with moral authority. The truth is historically the opposite.
And for fucks sake, stop worshipping people who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.
I call BS. You’re leaving because you’re marrying a Brit.

Carrie Fisher was paid $850 a week to play Princess Leia.
George Lucas owned her face.
She was 19. She signed the contract, and with it the rights to her likeness.
Then came the dolls. The action figures. The shampoo bottles. The Pez dispensers. Star Wars merchandise went on to make billions, and none of it was hers.
Lucas later gave her a quarter of a percent of his own profits. By 1980, it was worth about $320,000.
Alec Guinness got 2.25% of the profits on the same film.
28 years later, at Lucas’s lifetime achievement tribute, she stood at the podium and settled the score in front of all of Hollywood.
She put it on the record:
“You have owned my likeness all these years, so that every time I look in the mirror, I have to send you a check for a couple of bucks.”
The room laughed. Lucas laughed.
The case for Lucas: he took the risk, Fox laughed at him, and nobody knew it would be Star Wars.
The case for Fisher: she was the face on the box, and the box made billions.
Here’s the lesson: if you don’t own your name, someone else will sell it.
In the video, she roasts him for four minutes. Watch her, then decide.
Was she joking, or finally saying it out loud?

Dr Haines is fighting for her life after a horrific car attack, yet media applies no pressure on Pauline Hanson to remove her cartoon of political rivals inc Albanese being mowed down by a car. Political violence isn't satire, it’s dangerous. Hanson should remove it & apologise.
