With the 2026 midterms closing in, Republicans are facing an unpopularity crisis as gas prices skyrocket and the war in Iran drags on. In this new special, “Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Red Flags,” Klepper hits the MAGA campaign trail to see if anti-communist hysteria, God's pronouns, and old-school Islamophobia can hold the GOP's fraying coalition together.

Not really an Aussie classic, but a song that I can barely believe is real.

Dodo l'enfant do...

WOMEN'S AND MEN'S.

THAT IS ALL!

FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

Look at what this little Aussie battler has achieved! He made sure to follow me until I left his kingdom. Of course, I turned and bowed to His Majesty before I went.

That really helps the for and against

Can Australians trust the labels on the food they buy?

First of a two part investigation.

I'm expecting major shenanigans to be uncovered.

Airing tonight on our ABC at 8:30pm eastern, and will be available via iView after.

Do yourself a favour, and catch Media Watch after it. You'll find out what media BS you've been caught out believing!

Do it!

Carn the cockroaches!

idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

You know, like the Terminator.

But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.

It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!

Victoria is already in a state of disaster, and today looks like being a really bad day for fires in Sydney, so thought I would link a couple of key sites I use:

• RFS Fires Near Me. A list of all the fires being tracked by RFS.
• Fire Danger Ratings and Fire Bans. Today for all of Sydney region it is Extreme and a total fire ban.
• BOM also has warnings on the top of the page.
• Bushfire survivial plan. You should have one already, but if you don't, get one.

Stay safe!

Hope everyone stays safe and cool. Remember: have a plan, leave early if you can. Catastrophic is not a recommendation. GTFO.

Anyways, anytime I start talking weather with someone, I can't help but have certain songs run through my head. The Heatwave Mix is an open zone for song recommendations that have at least one line that talk about weather/temperature. Please post the line and a link to the song.

I'll kick off the hotness with a line that always gets stuck in my head : I walk about in the summertime saying "How about this heat!".

Now, once we hear that, the next recommended song says I should get my funk on and "Keep my cool!"

All the best to you and yours.

More than a third of the nation's 11,000 citizens applied for the new climate visa — a deal forged between the two countries to preserve Tuvaluan culture as the atolls disappear.

The intake is capped at 280 visas annually to prevent a brain drain from the tiny island nation.

With the ban going into effect, I thought it might be helpful to allow people to share their experiences about the Australian teen social media ban and how it has affected them.

Note: For the Aussie Zone lemmy requirements, see here. Please use that thread for an Aussie Zone specific discussions or questions.

Good luck, everyone!

OK, this is not actually from rage, but it is Ozmusic. I was going down a rabbit hole that took me eventually to the Choirboys, generally known as a classic 80s rock/pub band.

They had several bangers, including what was the unofficial Queenslanders anthem, at least in Surfers.

But what made me double take was how few views/listens.were on their official Choirboys channel.

Some personal faves:

• You're with the big boys now - Carrie. What a top song. And that's how you end a song!
• 'The smell of beer and perfume'. That may be the greatest pub band lyric ever.
• Talk big.Great to hum to the boss you don't like. "Tell me something I don't know!"
• Bullshit. Great to hum to the boss you don't like. "It's all just bullshit to me!"

Happy listening! Bust out that air guitar!
