Geoblocked (Australia) unfortunately

Mine did. Had to keep reading to get it wasn’t a typo

If only there was a word for forcibly displacing an entire population. Could be really handy, not to mention apt, to describe what’s clearly happening

If only European countries could agree on some sort of compact—a union, if you will—that allowed citizens of member states to pass freely across borders. That’d fix it.
Maybe even include a “common market” if we want to get crazy and unlock trade and investment.

I wonder how many necks he’ll snap in this one?

This is a refreshing change from Pa Kent suggesting Clark should have let a busload of children drown

Definitely not a dribbling idiot making it up as he goes along.

The Greens should definitely not copy the vastly more successful electoral playbook of the teals. Much better they lose every seat, declare victory, and pat themselves on the back for being morally superior

That 36% was when only a couple of thousand postals had been 2PP distributed and they broke strongly Labor’s way

Not “only due to”. Labor’s primary vote is also up

A man who was himself first elected in 2010 on Liberal preferences. I don’t recall him ever thanking them like he demanded Rudd do the Greens in ‘07.

Every election regardless of result, “We did it! Community wins! Greens-slide!”

Electing Bandt was actually the catalyst for the Libs (temporarily) changing their longstanding policy of putting Labor last. Bit of info on it here: antonygreen.com.au/vic22-the-im...

Yep. That’s how Bandt first got elected in 2010. Melbourne had been a safe Labor seat until the Libs finishing third got the second-place Greens up on preferences.

Turn on the tv. He’s back. Doesn’t look happy though

It’s true. Star Trek Beyond, set in the year 2263, identifies the Beastie Boys as “classical music”

Replace grammar with literally anything anyone has ever cared about and the same pissweak rhetorical device is just as meaningless. “Trans rights”, “God bless America”, “Black lives matter”, “Make America great again”, “I do”. Ok losers, see you in a trillion years.

Are the police untrustworthy? Just hearing this for the millionth time

I read it just fine with no paywall. Even if there was, “clickbait” doesn’t mean linking to a paywalled article.

He wants attention. Don’t give it to him.

Because he’s constantly getting fluffed by a tiny but vocal cadre of the saddest, weirdest dorks imaginable

Yep, that’s a safe assumption. “Boohoo, poor men might miss out on getting a free ride to the top.” We’re all in agreement here

Can't believe I had to fire my financial advisor for being a radical neo-marxist. They kept talking about home "equity", "diversifying" my portfolio, and how income taxes are "progressive" /s

“When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”. The collateral damage of taking unfair advantage away from people who think they’re entitled to it

The alt text doesn’t say what the extract does. The four extra hours is mothers with a degree vs mothers without, not intergenerational.

Reckless conduct endangering life carries up to ten years. But any custodial sentence would have a huge impact on a 20 year who is clearly, aside from everything else, an idiot. He’s likely ruined his life whatever the final criminal disposition
comment in response to
post
I hear you. I really do. But police and the OPP lay charges they believe have a reasonable prospect of conviction, and the video simply isn’t enough to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that his intent was to kill. Recklessly endangering the cyclist’s life, however; that’s gonna be harder to defend

Those are still very serious offences carrying potentially several years’ imprisonment. I know it’s a distressing case but don’t pretend this is a slap on the wrist just because he isn’t in pre-trial detention. This idiot is in deep, deep shit

Doomed brand. They could sack that drugged out fascist today and they’d still never recover

Most obvious slam dunk to step in and collect all the goodwill (and soft power) the US just decided to throw away for nothing

They used to chain werewolves under the stools of people tasked with making these documents to keep them properly motivated, adrenalized, and disinclined to wander.
A legacy of this persists to this day in the folk mind of content creators who often end work with the evocation "lycan sub scribe".
