How are maga explaining the cognitive disconnect between freedom of speech, and the banning of books and certain words (etc?). Can someone explain the leaps involved here?

How can we get Tim Winton's heartbreaking words to an audience that no longer reads newspapers? How can we force the pollies to listen?? Onya Albanese and you, Plibersek. What a shit job you've done, no balls to stand up to the deep pockets of the mining magnates. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Where are the Australian politicians standing up against that hideous pair of toddlers throwing a global tantrum? Well, here. In the Greens. Telling it like it is. That's it. Respect. www.instagram.com/reel/DFrEd8g...

What IS the point of our apparently more environmentally than the other lot government? If I were PM: I'd actively create a viable recycling system and industry. Soft plastics, food waste, everything. It'd be a main focus. Along with throwing everything at renewables. Unapologetically.

lol

Well, just look at this baby!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Severence, oh my heart. What a show. If you haven't watched I'm actually jealous for you as you'll have season 1 and 2 to dive into. I just wish... I just wish makeup wouldn't dye Adam Scott's hair so dark. He has great hair. This overdyed look is so very awful and distracting!

Downloading DuckDuckGo as my browser from now on. Have been an early adapter of google, right back at the get go. I have used gmail and calendar since you needed an invite to get an address, and I wrote my phd on docs. It's part of my life. But I'll shift, Google, so many options now.

This woman fucking rocks.

It's interesting to me that I now have 2.1 k followers, which is over double those of the other site. But still, just a few likes per post. I don't post much, and I don't think I am worthy of anyone following me really, just here to get alt news and have the odd vent. Social media is weird.

I still don't understand how this isn't huge news. This is absolutely iconic Tasmanian alpine vegetation — around Cradle Mountain ffs — about to be burnt and killed, TONIGHT.

Yeah there's no headlines, except those reporting the inventions generated by the hate-crew.

What to do? USA - Card Campaign for Democracy is a useful pushback. cc4democracy.com

If you want to molest women you don't need to go thru the struggle of being trans. You can just be any old guy walking through a public park, any old guy standing in a crowded train carriage, any old guy talking to his young female PA. You can do it anywhere, in public, any time. Or be a priest.

Rather pleased with the effect of the glazes in this cup, reminding me of a gorgeous encaustic painting I own by a friend of mine, Kate Clarke. I tried encaustic - massive fail! but I might repeat this combo when glazing again :)

Imagine declining to comment on what's an open plan to capitalise from genocide to illegally occupy another state and displace millions of people. PM Albanese must go*, pronto. He brings great shame to this country, as does Senator Wong. *For rusties, this does not mean I want Dutton/LNP.

I have ignored the Government’s legal threats and advised their lawyers that @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy has published my article - and I have invited them to put up, or shut up. #auspol #secrecy

I love those little cultural differences - like how Americans are deeply offended by the word cunt, while here in Australia, we’re more offended by unelected billionaires orchestrating a fascist coup against the leading nation of the free world.
