I dont know if it counts as a poem but

Musk got on stage with a CHAINSAW. He bragged about feeding USAID into a woodchipper! You can't then claim to be "deeply troubled" when people express anger about the stuff Musk openly bragged about doing!!!!!

feel like I'm taking crazy pills here

a good middle manager looks like a guy who just drinks coffee and forwards emails, but his actual job is secretly absorbing insane executive requests so the team can just do their work

FFS 🤦‍♂️

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

@Brynbikes To be fair, people in Sydney don’t seem to have a concept of the time difference in Perth.

WHO MADE THIS!? I’m dying.

@paulpowlesland While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, this was a bit more than just picking up some rubbish - they had an excavator and cleared some trees. He knew what he was doing and what the reaction would be - but if the framing of this embarrasses them into doing more I’m all for it

Donald Trump being unable to negotiate his way out of a paper bag despite having the most powerful military in the world at his disposal would be an amusingly fitting way for support for his presidency to finally collapse.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us

Q: Why aren’t we using the DOJ to investigate Epstein’s crimes (and others involved) instead of ordering them to investigate the president’s enemies?

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons:

1) stay out of jail
2) exact revenge on his enemies
3) line his pockets

Everything else he says is bullshit.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

I've been doing this work a long time but nothing prepared me for what I saw on a recent reporting trip in Somalia. I was there to look into rising food and fuel prices from the war in the Middle East landing atop dramatic cuts to the international humanitarian relief system.

@bendreyfuss Arrested Development plot line if there was one

[Mike Reiss @MikeReissWriter]

We're mad because the movie version of THE ODYSSEY which we haven't seen, doesn't match the vision of the book we never read.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Seriously guys, whatever happened to:

• the DOGE checks
• tariff checks
• the Greenland hospital boat
• 10% APR on credit cards
• my meds being 1500% cheaper
• $2 gas
• the Epstein files
• reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open
• cheaper groceries
• ending wars in 24 hours
• the “privately funded” ballroom

Any updates?

@YIMBYLAND We downsized to an apartment in a neighbourhood that has both and it’s just as awesome as you’d imagine

Sorry y'all, but it is Christopher Nolan. I'll go see the Odyssey and probably enjoy it because it is Christopher Nolan, and I'm going to go into this assuming the guy who brought us Interstellar and the Dark Knight knows what he is doing better than Twitter.

@taipan168 @cosmicjester For something truly courageous - reduce the tobacco excise to curtail organised crime and a likely increase in Govt revenue to boot - could be offset politically with a corresponding reduction in the alcohol excise. Can’t imagine too much opposition apart from the Greens

[Eric Mercer @egmercer]

@taipan168 @cosmicjester There’s no argument *for* bracket creep of course - benefits both parties to make periodic adjustments as “tax cuts” - but if introduced would be popular. GST to 15% only gets across the line if you eliminate some other big tax - can only think of stamp duty?
