AIPAC have issued a statement: “he’s an antisemite, but he’s our antisemite”
There are almost certainly gacha capsule machines in Japan containing plastic figurines of sushi-bug characters that look like this guy, along with tuna and tamagoyaki variants. Maybe also an inari hermit crab or something.
Will the Libs use their freedom to move back towards the pragmatic centre and bring the teals back into the fold (or replace them with better-supported candidates of a similarly moderate persuasion), or will they instead invite One Nation and Family First to dance?
If we run trams over grass for long enough, perhaps eventually a plant will evolve which uses the motion of a tram to spread its pollen.

The Nationals can now go back to their roots as a farmers’ party. Though they seem more interested in railing against solar/wind power and promoting coal (“nuclear power, to be ready in a generation’s time”). Maybe they’re angling for Clive Palmer to buy them out?
The Liberals were originally a broad church, with its most salient feature being that its members were more likely to own property. The more socially moderate members (sometimes referred to as “wets”, a term borrowed from the British Tories) started dwindling in the long Howard era (1997-2007 and 2011-2022 or so) when the party pivoted to Murdochian culture-war conservatism, and eventually lost almost all their historic seats in wealthy suburbs, while outer-suburban party branches were taken over by religious groups (pentecostals and Mormons, IIRC)
I’m joking, but if it were possible, you’d need to pass at least a simple Welsh language test before buying a place in Wales. The locals have historically had a huge grievance with well-to-do English people buying up most of the pretty villages, pricing the locals out, and their lack of connection to the culture of Wales adds insult to injury. (There have been, IIRC, incidents of such second homes burning down, and nobody having seen anything.)
Russia doesn’t really do, or indeed understand, soft power, beyond causing mischief with disinformation operations. In the Russian strategic mindset, winning the hearts and minds of a population is unacceptably inefficient compared to the alternatives, such as bribing local gangsters to become a fake popular movement, cultivating useful idiots among the far left and/or right, flooding the field with disinformation, or just massive invasion.
The world is never going to be listening to R-pop on their Art.Lebedev phone in the queue at the hip new piroshki truck and wishing they were in Moscow where things are happening.
Isn’t that basically Yud’s robot god inferring general relativity from three frames of video of an apple falling?
Those Canadian fentanyl barrels won’t stand a chance
