The #StateLibrary of Victoria has appointed a retired university librarian to 2 positions at once - one that wasn't advertised (Chief Librarian) + Head of Collections, a role she was acting in part-time; she was on the interview panel that failed to make the permanent appointment: now given to her.

Had my MG4 for just over 2 years, absolutely loving it and would never go back. And so much cheaper to run than an ICE car.

Headline in today's Guardian that reads "Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40 percent, study finds. Cognitive health in later life is 'strongly influenced' by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers."

This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

John Howard brought in a tax policy that delivers 59% of the benefit to the richest 1%.

It truly is time to ditch the Capital Gains Tax 50% discount

I have a question for the men who had no questions about Epstein The millions of pages of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have shone a light on how many influential men were ready to disregard the experiences of countless women.

Indeed,lots of questions

If you are out pointing cameras at your armed oppressors, you are the best kind of courageous.

If you are out pointing guns at nurses, mothers, and ordinary people, you are the worst kind of coward.

A good decision by Usman, but one that will reveal even more so the gaps in Australia's batting stocks.

An excellent career, and an even better role model. The racist shite he has had to endure, and which was tolerated by the establishment, would have been excruciating.

Every single person who is anti-trans is a slight scratch away from going full racist. It is basically a gateway drug for racism/bigotry.

It seems fine. You pretend it’s about protecting women. You can point to famous people on your side.

But it is only ever about hate. Disgusting & cruel hatred.

Woolworths accused of exploiting affordable housing schemes to ram through projects The retail giant is using development fast-track schemes to push ahead with new supermarket and apartment projects opposed by local councils.

A supermarket project is NOT affordable housing just because you add six peasant homes to the plan.

So sick of these greedy corps gaming the system.

Travball 1-0 Bazball: Head’s big numbers add up to a damning zero for England | Geoff Lemon Australia’s bold call as replacement for creaking Usman Khawaja in second innings set up a Test-winning 69-ball ton, the second-fastest in Ashes history

β€œBut perhaps most of all, it’s because of England’s years of talk about cultivating 11 players to approach the game in a certain way, only to be beaten by the one player on the opposing team who does the same.”

Despite the spin, the Coalition and News Corp remain mouthpieces for billionaire interests bent on stalling climate action and truth alike.

The choice for the Liberals is simple … risk shedding some votes to right wing rural folk or risk losing even more votes to centrist inner-city dwellers. Today may be the day they vote themselves out of any future relevance. #StuckInOpposition #auspol
