“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Even if Adolf Musk does bring out the smartest #AI Chatbot so far, I for one won't be using it

I swear I never click on Trump stories, don't follow anyone that focuses on him yet my feed on here is filled with him. I care but living in ignorance turns out to be good for your health.

Ryan is a massive prick. Talk about flipping the narrative. Jacquie deserves so much better. #mafsau

We've managed to lift our game in Australia when it comes to workplace bullying. But when it comes to our kids we are seriously failing. Yep. My son is being bullied so I'm biased. But I was a youth worker for years and saw first hand the devastation it causes kids & families. It's getting worse

How good is life in Australia! Today I'm grateful for the robust workplace laws about allowing people paid time off when they are sick. My soon to be ex manager doesn't get this but HR definitely do. Common sense prevails!

Working my way through Ep5 of #mafsau. I can't work out who is more delusional...Ryan or Jacquie? Both seem totally disconnected to reality #mafs

I've gone from talking to myself on X to talking to myself on Bluesky. Least I'm not supporting Musk I guess.

Yes I encourage it by watching but I reckon #mafs is going to result in someone topping themselves one day

I sometimes call #ChatGPT my virtual bestie. It's become an integral part of my life in most aspects. Certainly professionally and even personally. I like that it has adopted a language style that is more relaxed, often calling me "mate". #AI

Who really cares about climate change, anyway? 89% of the world’s population, that's who. #The89Percent

Life is always changing ready or not. I have 2 jobs. Just resigned from main one to start a business with safety of 2nd job for back up. Well you guessed it, for reasons outside my control, the 2nd job has gone. The pressure is on!

I can't remember the last time I saw anyone drink a can of Foster's Lager. The Foster's brothers only started brewing beer so they could show off the new beaut technology refrigeration. I dont think anyone who has ever drank it would be surprised it wasn't the priority!

Elliot has himself on such a high pedestal looking over the rest of us, unless he has an epiphany, is going to live a very lonely life. It's sad really. #mafs

Watching #mafs on catchup. My guilty pleasure. I do however wonder what conclusions they've drawn from the great "social experiment"? I can think of a few

W.A voted yes in the 1898 referendum to federate but due to govt heel dragging had no input into Australian constitution. In 1933 when 68% of Sand Gropers voted to leave Australia, they were politely told by Britain the constitution could not be changed. They were stuck with us! #Australianhistory
