There are places in the world where this is still true. That is how unequal this world is.

Good riddance 2024.

Alcohol was safer than water.

Of course the social media ban was going to be used to call for other things to be banned.

So we abandon people up in a place they can never leave then deny them enough money to survive. Another disgusting, gutless Labor attack on refugees and asylum seekers in an effort to try to look tough. Shame on this craven government. This will kill people. Despicable.

I wonder if Frontier Economics has costed carbon given the *area under the curve is critical*. Oh wait. Nope. They've ignored that.

Powerful reminder. And so true!

What does it feel like to be ruled by elites that are at least not a bunch of fuckwits?

Far be it for me to rub salt in the wound of Americans discovering their class solidarity about private health insurance but here in Australia, I recently had my daughter spend a week in a specialist children’s hospital receiving world class care for a burst appendix, and all it cost me was parking.

Excellent analysis by daliagebrial.bsky.social of the media reaction to the public reaction to the Health Insurance CEO assassination. youtu.be/da53RE5K0jc?...

It’s really hard to scold people over civility in a system that dehumanizes everyone and it rings pretty hollow when people are more upset by jokes than the day to day humiliation that millions of people have to go through
