Clickbait much, BBC? (Read the alt-txt for the backstory)

Someone dumped this beauty on my street.

Precisely. I’ve never felt any sense of freedom behind the wheel of a car. Grim determination perhaps, but never freedom.

Bicycles Deliver The Freedom That Auto Ads Promise.

Brilliant.

Exercise, freedom and transport in one perfect package.

The ad the Washington Post accepted - and then rejected.

Quite so.

Precisely.

The big question is: cui bono (who benefits)? The answer: Oil and gas companies. Extremely wealthy Australians. Newscorp. Tax-avoiding corporates. And ultimately, if this policy flabbiness continues: the loathsome opportunist, Peter Dutton.

Enraging and galvanising.

Everything has changed in our relationship with the US. The Trump regime can’t be trusted and the AUKUS deal was already terrible. Australia must withdraw from AUKUS right away.

I know it’s come to seem normal but… one of these terrible human beings has a face that is even more orange than usual.

Gut-wrenching.

Perfect.
