Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. The Palestinians will be forced to choose between death or deportation. There are no other options. This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No Continue reading »

Pearls and Irritations editor-in-chief John Menadue talks to Pascal Lottez of Neutrality Studies about Western misconceptions of China and the narrative that has led to a very poor understanding of the biggest power in Asia.

The Rockliff Government’s financial mess in Tasmania has been well explained by economist Saul Eslake, independent MLC Ruth Forrest, and others paying attention. It is now canvassing the sale of government assets in a desperate attempt to copy the errors of other governments rather than address causes. State governments have an obvious financial constraint governed Continue reading »

Two weeks ago, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel published a report, “More than a human can bear”: Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023. Our report finds that Israel has increasingly employed sexual, Continue reading »

Since the Trump administration took the reins in the United States and its actions have heralded in a bold new uncertain order, long-term calls for Australia to pull out of AUKUS have been gaining traction. Yet, a recent development in the Northern Territory suggests that, as the US now operates of its accord on this Continue reading »

The critical issue in the May 2025 election is likely to be about the rising costs of living, with competing views about whether the Labor Party is responsible for them and which of the major parties is most likely to address them. There is a rational basis for the widespread feeling that standards of living Continue reading »

Why does a government release a highly critical report on the conduct of Woolworths and Coles on the Friday before a budget that will lead straight into an election campaign? Short answer: not for any worthy reason. One worthy reason could have been to show Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers really wanted to do Continue reading »

As the latest ceasefire has predictably ended, will the world start taking notice of the Palestinians again? There’s been a stark absence of coverage in mainstream media of the ongoing decimation of Gaza and the West Bank. I imagine the average citizen believes it’s all okay now, the onslaught has ended and there’s nothing more Continue reading »

“The encrypted chat app [Signal] beloved by Elon Musk and foreign dissidents has been embraced by federal government workers, DOGE and military planners.” — Washington Post, 3/25/2025

“Top Trump officials included The Atlantic editor in group chat about plans to bomb Yemen.” — CBS News, 3/24/2025

With momentum for a strike on Iran building within the Trump White House, Goldberg was apparently summoned to move the neocon message. And he wound up with more access than he could handle. Atlantic Magazine editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg has won the admiration of his Beltway peers for the conduct he displayed after being accidentally invited into a smoke-filled “bomb Yemen” Signal chat with Trump’s national security honchos and top advisors. “Props to Jeffrey Goldberg for his high standards as a professional […]

The recent GOP spending bill will mean more money for ICE — and less transparency for the private airlines making billions on deportation flights.

Four years ago, I published Subtle Tools, a book on the erosion of American democratic norms in the face of what came to be known as the Global War on Terror. Both what had been done in the name of “national security” in response to the 9/11 attacks and how it had been done — through the willing neglect of procedural integrity, the exploitation of all-too-flexible norms, a remarkable disregard for transparency, and a failure to call for accountability of any sort — left the country wide open to even more damaging future abuses of the rule of law. And — lo and behold! — now, that future is all too distinctly here. What happened in the first quarter of... Read more

First and foremost, this book would not have been possible without my beautiful wife, Kate, whose decision to end our marriage gave me unlimited time to finish Neigh It Ain’t So: A Coffee-Table Book of Badly Irregular Horses.

Thanks also to my editor and Domino’s delivery guy, Freddy. How it worked was, I’d order a pizza, and when Freddy showed up, I’d jump out and show him a picture of a horse. If Freddy vomited, the horse went in the book.

And I couldn’t have done this without everyone at Random House, who, when I interrupted their shareholders meeting to pitch my idea for a coffee-table book filled with visually upsetting horses, had their security guards subdue me non-lethally.

I’d also like to thank my roofer. Let me explain. He’s kind of a jack-of-all-trades guy, so when he was fixing a leak one day, I climbed up the ladder to ask if he thought it would be possible to make a book that was four feet wide and three hundred pounds. “Probably,” he replied. “But why?” It was none of his business, but I was feeling generous, so I told him the truth: only big, strong coffee tables are worthy of my coffee-table book.

Κάποτε είχαμε ένα όνειρο. Ένα όνειρο για το πώς θα μπορούσε να είναι η Ευρώπη. Μια Ευρώπη της κοινής ευημερίας, της αξιοπρέπειας, της ελευθερίας – μια Ευρώπη της Ειρήνης και της Ελπίδας. Αυτό το όνειρο εξαϋλώθηκε, διαλύθηκε, είναι νεκρό. Γιατί; Τι στα κομμάτια συνέβη στην Ευρώπη; Ξέρουμε τι συνέβη στην Ευρώπη! Ξέρουμε γιατί πολιτικοί καταφθάνουν από παντού […]

Η εβδομάδα που πέρασε ήταν ιστορική: Το γερμανικό Κοινοβούλιο τροποποίησε το Σύνταγμα εξαιρώντας από συνταγματικό φρένο χρέους τους εξοπλισμούς ώστε να επιτρέπονται απεριόριστες στρατιωτικές δαπάνες – όσο βαθιά στο κόκκινο και να σπρώξουν τον προϋπολογισμό της ομοσπονδιακής κυβέρνησης! Στο μεταξύ, καμιά αντίστοιχη δημοσιονομική γενναιοδωρία δεν αφορά στις επενδύσεις σε νοσοκομεία, εκπαίδευση, πυροσβέστες, παιδικούς σταθμούς, συντάξεις, πράσινες τεχνολογίες κ.λπ. Εν ολίγοις, όταν πρόκειται για τη χρηματοδότηση της […]
