For Valentine's Day: Love is not the opposite of hate. It is the opposite of indifference. We who demand a better world act out of love. “At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love,” Che Guevara open.substack.com/pub/feminist...

How appalling that the Australian Government has not shown support for the International Criminal Court after the US Government’s sanctions against it. This is a matter of principle. The ICC deals with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

I am sick and tired of the ways white people in the U.S., especially women, constantly point to Iran as Exhibit A Zealot Central instead of seeing their homegrown zealotry. So I wrote this www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-dear...

In 1999 came the final death knell of housing as a "right", when it became an investment asset after the Howard Govt halved capital gains tax. Housing became a product and an investment market, rather than the right. Until that changes .. 🤔 #auspol

I propose a hypothesis that Musk’s gesture was primarily an intentional trolling act. That he anticipated all the various audiences would react in all their ways. Watch the joy he’s getting out of it now. He’s delighted.

My mother's had breast cancer, hip replacement, sepsis, fractured back, stroke, shingles, and cataracts. My father had idiopathic nocturnal seizures, tachycardia, heart incidents, and cataracts. Hospital bill? Absolutely nothing. American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare. 🏥

This account is a huge peddler of misinformation. I blocked this one a while back on Twitter and I have blocked their account again on Bluesky. They will drop into your posts with misinformation and post RW rhetoric incessantly on their feed. I recommend the block.

This photograph of an iron lung ward was taken in 1952 at the Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center, the same year Jonas Salk developed the first effective polio vaccine & two years before RFK, Jr. was born. That vaccine rendered rooms like this unnecessary. RFK, Jr. wants to revoke its approval.

It occurs to me that the next Donald Trump is in fact … Elon Musk. Radical entrepreneur handing on the reigns of the presidency to fellow entrepreneur. Will the next Republican candidate in 2028 and beyond be Vance? Or Musk? Is Musk not a natural fit for the stereotype? Trump: “A star is born”

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

1/ I promised some research for team #Bluesky. Here we go. Unpopular opinion: #Debunking doesn't stop #polarization. In fact, our research (and others') shows it can *add* to it. #Prebunking works better—timing is key. Our #simulation studies shed light on this. 👉

I posit that re-establishing healthy thinking is humanity’s path to salvation. Fuzzing people’s thinking has devolved society and could lead to gross collapses. While it’s tempting to confuse the population into easy manipulation, they then become a massive liability against progress.
