Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t Congress required to authorise this sort of thing? #iran #bomb #nuclear #fordo #uspol

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

feed is entirely Greta Thunberg and Lauren Tomasi (or as some are calling her, “Australian Reporter”) putting their bodies on the line in different ways relentlessly and remorselessly inspired by brave women on the daily

I was prepared to hate it, but I love this. I feel it in my bones. The banality of existence drives you bonkers. #TalkingHeads #Psychokiller djmag.com/news/talking...?

Aus / Melbourne followers: has anyone found a decent, curated Melbourne news feed (or list, or starter pack)? I used to follow one on the dead bird that included various local news desks and journos. Not sure if many of them have made it over yet…

Glad I spent the weekend doing a couple of nice, safe cave dives, rather than dangerous activities like shopping at my local shopping centre… 😲 #northland #melbourne #melbournenews

Husic pulling no punches on #insiders. I’d take him over Marles any day.

Genuinely horrified by the result in Goldstein. Independent MP Zoe Daniel is an informed, intelligent, principled individual who has served both the electorate and the nation well. Tim Wilson is a lazy, deceitful, smug narcissist who has only ever served himself. #auspol #AusVotes25 #GoldsteinVotes

This is a bloody shame. We need more hard working, dedicated representatives like Zoe Daniels in parliament, and less arrogant wastes of space like Tim Wilson. #auspol #goldstein #ausvotes25

If you are not grateful for what you aready have what makes you think you will be happy with more? #Neoliberalism taught us excessive consumerism will make us happy. Are we happy? #auspol

The immediate reaction to the election results suggests to me that the LNP are going to be out of power for a long time. They are not losing votes to the RQNJs; they’re losing them to independents with traditional liberal values with sensible climate policies. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25

Happy #DemocracySausage day, #auspol! Remember - political parties can’t “give” your preference to anyone else. Only YOU decide where your vote goes. I’ve found myplan.buildaballot.org.au helpful for numbering, and democracysausage.org for everything else. Whomever else you vote for, #PutTheLNPLast

Happy Friday everyone. Thanks for reading NPR.org this week. Wanted to take a second to also remind you: I interviewed whistleblower Dan Berulis to accompany my lengthy written story on NLRB. Hear from him in his own words: one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5355...

I’m not sure if people who aren’t in tech understand just how serious the ramifications of the level of access that “doge” have been given are. They can “see” everything. They can change or delete anything. Not just the data, but critical applications and programs. And there’s no trace left.

Stock markets crashing around the globe, and this is what’s trending on BlueSky. We’re done for.

The one saving grace of losing daylight savings is at least I get a couple of months of Celtic games at a reasonable hour.
