Omg, the crowd-service! And the voice! And that poor security guy! youtu.be/8vPE4kxN320

Just in: President Trump has announced plans of making Australia the 51st state

"We can have an economy that supports people and planet, instead of exploiting and exhausting both." @chloe.swarbrick 29 April 2025 💚 @NZGreenParty alternative Budget for Aotearoa on the way 💚

So an unexpected part of my job now seems to be sitting and listening to frustrated educators vent about how (even more) abandoned their at-risk students have become. The govt agencies that are supposed to set the students up for study are all but MIA.

Typical, here's me thinking I'm going to have a quiet weekend and then my great grandmother's amulet starts glowing.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
