[Muhammad Butt @muhammadbutt]

10/10. No notes.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

These people smirk and joke about murdering kids and raping prisoners and you better believe that if you ever said anything like that to them, it would be defcon antisemitism blood libel.

and yet World Athletics -so far- allows these records to stand

the women’s 100m record is especially egregious because the wind meter simply didn’t work during the race and they somehow allowed the record to stand, it’s nuts

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

do people understand how insane it is that world athletics wiped all Putin-era Russian results from their records? there are heaps of steroid assisted records that they’ve never gotten around to eliminating but in this one instance they suddenly deemed it necessary to act

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

the current discus world record (and now pretty much the entire all-time top ten results) is tainted because discus throwers keep going to Ramona, Oklahoma specifically to throw the discus in gale force winds

these throws can never be replicated anywhere else in the world

[Eoin Higgins @EoinHiggins_]

Just to be clear, if this was the other way around, a Palestinian filmmaker mocking the sexual assault of Israelis, they would be banned from the festival for life

The Israel Lobby trying to get a teacher fired because the band he’s been playing in since 1982 have a few jokes at hitler’s expense might be the thing that turn Gen Xs and millennials against Israel. Ludicrous, hateful behaviour. @brooke_gc really is a useful idiot.

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

The right is framing this as a story about how white people are mistreated, but it's actually a story about what cops are like. This is how they treat people!!

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

@ryangrim what exactly has Mamdani done to them so far? is it antisemitism to NOT go to Israel?

[cosmic jester @cosmicjester]

There’s something very funny about suddenly being offended about a band that has been performing since 1982.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

I can’t think of a decision more vindicated by history than protesting the pending genocide that everyone with the most basic knowledge of Gaza and Israel knew was coming on Oct 8 2023

[Boeckner @d_boeckner]

Nothing says rock and roll like getting a government contract to build “Cognitive Warfare tools” for NATO

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

bro really talking high and mighty about “two-tiered policing” as their justice department investigates a woman because she won a rape trial against the president and deports people because they criticise the wrong middle-eastern country

[Department of State @StateDept]

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

Zionists see the word “Israeli” very intentionally being used and immediately go “you mean JEWS???”

like they cannot conceive of Israel existing separately to Judaism it’s all so tiresome, surely Zionists can learn a new trick

[Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler @CEPschindler]

I am not using my account here to comment on things often, but this news story needs a comment:
How is it possible that a professional European politician in 2026 does not see the very obvious historical parallels of supporting the idea of creating lists of Jews?

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

@SidelockHolmes lol did you Ziotards all agree to post about Gaza in response to this QT prompt in a group chat or something?

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

only 483 replies, try harder

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

The Gaza war was fought with proportionality, outstanding protection of civilian life, and was started by Hamas.

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

@facetedcarapace there are several entire skyscrapers in New York and neighbourhoods in London that exist solely for people with insane amounts of money to park their wealth so they can claim that they have no money on their tax return while becoming wealthier at the same time

[Sesame street traditionalist @iwantobehigh]

the ALP decided to finally tax capital more than labour and real wage growth has exploded since the ALP got in after being all but stagnant for a decade, they did that in a situation of global inflation and the worst supply shocks since the 1970s

you’re just having a whinge lol

[bob k @BobKnezevic]

ALP Gaslighting re wage rises / tax cuts etc . FACTS MATTER:- REAL Disposable Incomes (per capita household disposable income, a key measure of living standards after inflation and taxes/transfers) are at best flat to down around 6–8% since the mid-2022 peak.
Supporting Data
• Peak decline: Real per capita household disposable income fell sharply post mid-2022 (often cited as ~8% peak-to-trough through 2024, the largest such drop in the OECD during that period).
• Recent levels: By mid-to-late 2025, it had recovered somewhat (e.g., +2.4% in FY 2024-25) but remained ~6.9% below the mid-2022 peak and near levels from ~5 years earlier.
• Annual snapshots: Real net national disposable income per capita dropped from ~$76,338 in 2022-23 to $74,727 in 2023-24 (a ~2.1% fall). https://t.co/GwS6Up0D5O Broader OECD comparisons confirmed Australia’s outsized weakness vs. peers.
This reflects high inflation (especially 2022–24), bracket creep/tax effects, rising interest costs, and strong population growth diluting per-person gains—despite nominal wage rises. Minimum wage workers (often renters) faced extra pressure from rent surges (30%+ in many areas), so their effective real disposable position was often weaker than the aggregate. Recent tax cuts and easing inflation have supported partial recovery, but cumulative living standards gains remain limited or negative from the 2022 reference point. Individual outcomes vary by housing tenure, location, and household type.
