There are many things I like about Spoutible, but the number 1 like is the people.

I write about Aboriginal Australians. When my articles are shared on Facebook or Twitter they can bring out the ugly types who spew their hateful, racist, spiteful threats.

Not here, though. You people are tops.

Cats know.

It’s their sixth sense.

Every year - as soon as the Christmas tree goes up - she sits next to it staring out the window, waiting for Santa to come.

I used to think England had the grubbiest mainstream media in the world.

Australia now wears that toxic crown.

For something completely different…

Meet the pūteketeke: voted New Zealand’s Bird of the Century.

And as is the norm these days, cries of “rigged election” are being grumbled.

The U.S. Constitution is under attack. Christo-fascists are trying to turn a secular document into a religious proclamation.

“In the space of 12 months and nine days, Praha gave up most of its youth – and nearly all of its future – to confront unimaginable forms of evil on faraway continents.”

It’s hard to express how sad this story is.

In Australia we don’t know much about the new US Speaker of the House of Reps, so here’s a hint: he’s a Trump loyalist and just as extreme.

My favourite billionaires are those who invest time and money into addressing world poverty, hunger, homelessness, the refugee crisis, equality for all, unemployment, the rise of fascism, dictatorships etc etc.

But I just can’t think of any.

It has become blindingly obvious to even blind-Freddy that the Murdoch media in Australia has been spewing forth a veritable blizzard of utter bullshit.

Referendum fun facts, dates, myths/misconceptions.

If you only read one thing about the referendum today, this one is a good choice.
