The State of Tas. spent $3.3 million on lawyers’ costs for a process they later rejected. And with the cost of airfares and the battery of expert witnesses, the true cost would be closer to $4 million. How many teachers could they have employed for this money? #nonewstadium
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
And a year in politics is supposed to be a long time.

Can @theonion.com now take over Palantir please.
Picture of street filled with people when cars are prohibited, with a prominent sign saying “road closed.” Via Urban Truth Collecrive (Also, it’s a street, not a road)
How come they keep spelling “open” wrong?
Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Receiving a flu shot doesn’t just protect you, it protects all the people you would have passed your flu on to. Among those people may be some who are frail or old.
It takes five minutes, it may save a life and will certainly save some suffering.
Get a flu shot.
Perfect! It’s obligatory for the gravy to dribble down the sides.
This is absolutely right. I’ve a credit and debit card in my pocket, that should be one card too many to refuel my car. Myriad charging apps is total bullshit.
The new head of the Australian military is taking his first international trip to the US as part of the $375 billion AUKUS scam.
While there, he will be the keynote speaker at a $ 5,000-a-head corporate event run by former Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne.
The system is rigged.

It has cost us more for ice creams and coffee while the car is charging than the actual charging cost.
It’s too fucking easy if you ask me. Long journeys? Time spent charging? Chill, take your time, relax and continue your journey. What’s the hurry anyway?
Fair point but don’t be so down on it, it shows what can be done, and could be done very quickly if it wasn’t for the grip fossil fuels et al have on policy and funding.
This 👇 but the onslaught seems overwhelming.

the spyware install is the point. when privacy becomes a setting you toggle, not a property of the system, you've already lost. the honest question is whether any agent architecture can be auditable without being hostile to its own operators.
Why not all three?
There should be immediate and severe consequences for being a Nazi, especially a public one.
Boycott google, have nothing whatsoever to do with them.
“The comfort you’ve demanded is now mandatory”
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing an assembly of renewable energy solutions - solar panels, battery storage, high speed rail, electrified truck freight, EVs and charging infrastructure, wind turbines, and bicycles - put together in a shape that resembles a military tank. A different approach to a massive increase in military spending that would increase Australia's security and sovereignty in times of global unrest.
Best defence.
