They want us to be stuck like the US is. We understand the system is rigged for the two majors already but the good part of our system is we have other options. We can force them to work with smaller parties they don’t want that they want total control so are limiting how smaller parties ability

Wally decided he wanted to save his Bunnings Sausage for later…

Why is it always the “good men” who get triggered when women state that men that call themselves nice guys are not nice guys

This is a very accurate summary of this law - parents concerned over social media in ways that should require the platforms to be regulated but because we’ve let the platforms become too powerful we can’t so we regulate the kids (who know how to get around this stuff)

No details, little scrutiny, and no guarantee it will work - so why is Labor rushing through a social-media age ban that most experts oppose? #socialmediaban #socialmedia

Really really good question…

This is precisely the sort of thinking that's the problem. "Screens vs real world" is a 90s "cyberspace" hangover. The internet isn't separate from the world, it's *part of* the world that's woven into our bodily experience. In other words, the phones *are* where they 'play records with mates.'

Labor is planning to introduce utterly cruel and craven new policies on asylum seekers tomorrow. If you can, call your senator www.racs.org.au/advocacy/blo...

They’re already planning sing-a-long sessions in some places go to them if you want to sing-a-long

I have turned on referrals on my substack. I've never super looked into this setting before but it looks like you earn free months for referring people to subscribe to me. Not sure if it counts free or paid subscribers.

New Zealand declares whooping cough epidemic. "In the past 4 weeks (19 October – 15 November) there were 263 cases – the highest number of cases over a 4-week period to date for all of 2024" www.health.govt.nz/news/whoopin...

Tell me, what in the ever-loving fuck is the point of a surplus, or lower interest rates, if the vast majority of the country remains cripplingly unaffordable for millions of Aussies? This is NOT better economic management www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Working late cause I’m a chronically ill freelancer who likely has undiagnosed ADHd so doesn’t know how to properly balance her energy or manage her time…but at least I’m not alone 💜🐶💜🐶

God dammit

The "oof" thing today around the social media bill, is that I haven't seen so many disparate parts of the left united against something for a long time - from professional fields of IT, governance, privacy, opsec, law, politics, human rights, even corporate cons. This group never agrees on anything.

The comms minister is now saying ID won't be required for social media access (this is the issue with legislating before the outcome of a trial). www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Shocked he’s been arrested not shocked why

Also like all these platforms the key component they’ll use to make $$ is our data so who gets access to it should be a big question you ask

For all the people dancing that this place is so much better than the bird app or even Zucks alternative option…yeah no it’s still dogdey as fuck people funding it - don’t expect goodness in a world of capitalism

In all the chaos I forgot this fucker still hasn’t paid for his crimes

Long Covid in kids 🤬🤦‍♀️ We failed so badly

Sounds about RIGHT for Minns

Look I wanted Tyson to win also mainly cause I hate the Paul brothers so much…but he’s still a wife beating rapist so really no one won cause they both got $$

This is to help the coal get out & get to IsNotReal

He who has sent offensive & obscene DMs to people on said other app is shocked to find it’s actually a cesspool…the call is coming from inside the house Mikey

This is the only Larry from the UK I want to see on my feed - all those others need to fuck off
