Ed Husic must be one of the few labor MPs with a spine.

I've run out of words for how disgusted I am with the albanese government. We can spare and extra 54 billion for AUKUs, but fuck those disabled kids, eh?

For me, Rocky Horror’s up there too.

Could not believe my ears recently when I met a bloke who’d never heard of either movie, let alone seen them. How do people grow up in the 70s & early 80s and completely miss these nuggets #Headscratcher

Oh Sarah! Who writes your stuff?

Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥

"despite"

Will we ever see the like of Gough’s vision and courage again? Are we forever doomed to have to choose between the least worst option or the Liberals/ON?

A Future Vision of Data Centres: From Big Tech Builds to Community-Owned Cooperatives Could data centres serve, rather than harm, our communities? Community-owned data centres give citizens control over their digital lives.

"In the same way that people band together to power their homes via solar panels or wind turbines, a community-owned data centre would see people collaborate on building the servers needed to power their internet use"

A militarised look for Victoria police @ today’s Melbourne rally calling for an end to Israeli massacres. We *sound* angry, as the West’s leaders help this crime against humanity extend through a 3rd year, but the coalition doesn’t act out (unless there are actual Neo Nazis, w 👮‍♀️ protection) #auspol

I watched Civil War a little while back. The treatment of ‘people not like me’ & ‘people who made me feel lesser’ by their neighbours & random fellow humans, now with weapons & emboldened by the lawlessness of the times…well I still haven’t shaken it. Haunting.

After the 2019 election result - to now see how weak the Labor Party is - and realise they really are cut from a very similar cloth to the LNP - has been the greatest #auspol disappointment for mine.

We had such expectations.

I was SO naive 😞😞

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman.

Yes, that's the point.

It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. By Jon von Tetzchner August 28, 202519421 views

It was really very nice to go visit @vivaldi.com offices in Oslo today

I switched recently and it is funny how we forget what it's like to use tech that isn't built with raw loathing for its users

ALSO they have really nice waffles on Fridays, and they're lovely people

'Men and boys', good, fine... so, they've already got a Minister for Femicide, yes?

- yes? -

(is this mic on?)

Too much bad press and too little political courage to take that tack. Or maybe just a genuine absence of care for the people left behind with the gaping inequalities now evident in our ‘society’?

As we'll be arguing in Crikey today, the real upshot of the NSW Court of Appeal's judgment yesterday invalidating those ridiculous anti-protest laws, it is Premier Chris Minns who is incompatible with democracy. He clearly doesn't understand his responsibility as a leader of elected government.

Feel like pretty much all I missed out on was more of what the tangerine tyrant said & the ABC contorting itself to avoid fully reporting on national and world events complete with context, history, analysis…y’know, news stuff

"internal ambiguities" on migration?
The Liberals need "less politicking"?

The word you are looking for, Michelle Grattan, is "racism". #auspol

Meh. The media and their masters saw a potential problem and got rid of him right quick. Lumbered us with a much more malleable #Albo tross instead

“Wakey Wakey”?

For those up the back and hard of thinking isn’t that what (😱shock reveal music😱) woke is?

When the wealthy are faced with taxation,they threaten to cut jobs,leave or do any number of petulant things

They act like terrorists when asked to simply pay what they owe society

So why do we allow these terrorists so much power?

I suspect Norway has a fact based news media (read not owned by billionaires) in place of the baying pavlovian hounds other ‘democracies’ have to contend with. A frank & fearless fourth estate does help to clarify the issues for joe & joanne public imo

Clever! This is how you can herd them all into one tiny, less-taxing area in your country. Once there, ring fence the area and let your imagination run wild

Just fucking stop AI.

Get rid of it.

Jesus christ...

They only know how to punch down. Goes with only being attracted to abhorrent ideas I guess

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

Now that’s funny 😆. Sadly true, but also funny as hell

Hmmm, what do I enjoy more, the election outcome or this cartoon 🤔

While we're going for independent energy security,
let's also push independent national security. #DumpTrump #DitchAUKUS #auspol
