But that’s the point. If you want to govern Australia effectively/to fix our many problems – you have to be prepared to stand up to powerful interest groups. It’s now clear Albanese isn’t prepared to stand up, but still wants to enjoy the spoils of office. www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Many of the people who voted for America's political disaster are paying no attention to the unfolding disaster. They don't follow the news. They think the libs are getting owned and that's enough for them. They're clueless about the damage they've done to everyone, including themselves.

I wrote about the hate campaign against Bella Ramsey and how it follows the playbook to use fandom to push an anti-queer, anti-trans, anti-woman agenda by attacking diversity in pop culture. And also, how it makes it exhausting to be a queer woman on the internet.

Peter David, the legendary writer behind Star Trek: Imzadi, has passed away. He was a giant of science fiction and comics. For me, he was the storyteller who shaped a cherished part of my youth.

By @prognosticchats.bsky.social "One of the greatest PR moves of the pandemic so far has been the use of “this variant does not lead to more severe illness than other variants” - which sounds good, until you realise other variants have killed tens of millions & disabled hundreds of millions so far"

Finally caught up with #Andor S2E9. Spoiler: The door is wide open for Bix in her own series, movies, or in the extended universe. They gave her character a deep motivation, a certain angst, agency... and a great actor. Everything worthy of more attention. "We have to win."
