  1. Tony Abbott intervenes in Liberal leadership battle calling on right to unite to oust Sussan Ley
    abc.net.au/news/2026-01-28/ton

    It hurts me to say this, but: Susssan Ley is right. She's recognised that if the Liberal Party is to survive, to present itself as a credible Opposition, and have more than just a dream of winning an election in the next decade, it needs to be overhauled.

    Susssan Ley has a mountain of work ahead of her if she's trying to reform and modernise the Liberal Party. This comes after years that cannot be swept under the carpet, and memories that stretch back so far in people's minds that we have a clear picture of what is "normal" for the Liberal Party. Some people like Tony Abbott want that "tradition" that he was part of and benefited from to persist, and for the rest of us to forget the aspects that were terrible for most people in Australia.

    But, who can forget the lies and racism and RWNJ extremism resembling Nazism of the Malignant Potato Peter Dutton, the lies and racism and self-serving religious quackery of the Liar from the Shire Scott Morrison, the lies and racism and outrageous sexism and anti-intellectualism and cruelty disguised as boofheadedness of The Mad Monk Tony Abbott, the lies and racism and nonsensical neo-con ideology of Malcolm Turnbull, and the lies and racism and mean-spirited divide-and-conquer class-warfare of John Howard?

  5. Mainstream media in Australia might finally be starting to wake-up and call-out Trump and his cronies.

    Years ago, the Sun-Herald used to be Sydney's broadsheet newspaper, but it has long since lost its sense of balance and political teeth after being bought-out by a succession of increasingly right-wing media moguls. It's quite remarkable that they're printing a headline like this now.

    The headline is a reference to a sledge aimed at cowardly, right-wing, yes-men for their support for the invasion of Iraq, "There they are a conga line of suckholes on the conservative side of politics." It was delivered by former ALP Leader of the Opposition and aspiring PM, Mark Latham (when he still sounded sane; long before he got RWNJ brainworms). I've always wondered about that particular line, and mused that his speechwriters were tapping into a vein of former Prime Minster, Paul Keating. He once said John Howard was "Like a shiver waiting for a spine to crawl up."

    Amusingly, the subeditor misnamed Jeff Bezos as "Geoff Bezos" in the caption.

    The problems re planning have been decades in the making, under the imprisonable 1996-2007 PM they really accelerated.

    Most people who watched closely, attribute #Sydney's 2000 #Olympics, the #warCrimes and #immigration and #refugeeAbuse of that PM, to #Australia's gentrification and #overdevelopment abuses - the effects of which are felt today.

  10. Sandra Bullock – „Das Netz“ (1995)

    Es gab mal eine Zeit, da war „Cyberspace“ noch kein slicker Marketingbegriff, sondern eine ziemlich apokalyptische Landschaft aus grünem Code, LAN-Kabeln und knarzenden, piependen Modems. 1995 war die Angst noch frisch – und Hollywood gierig danach. „Hackers“ war bunt und anarchisch, „Sneakers“ charmant-paranoid, und dann kam „Das Netz“: der brave, etwas niedliche Corporate-Thriller, der Sandra Bullock mitten ins digitale Bermuda-Dreieck warf.

  15. George Clooney – „Michael Clayton“ (2007)

    Ein altmodischer Thriller, der es seinem Publikum nicht zu einfach machen will. Ein Film, der seiner Geschichte Zeit gibt, sich zu entwickeln. Ein Krimi, in dem fast gar nicht geschossen wird und auch nur ein einziges Auto explodiert. Einer, der sich auf das verlässt, was er kann und ganz von seinen Darsteller:innen lebt. (ZDF, Wh.)
