Trying to figure out how to exist in the 21st century hellscape. I used to do radio and tell other people what to like. Now I’m just doing my best to remain sane. I hate Nazis. I love cats. I’m rarely ambivalent about anything.

Those being Peter Dutton and Angus Taylor.

Elon is DOGE & DOGE is Elon. What they're doing now is because they realize DOGE will likely be deemed unconstitutional. Now Elon's a senior advisor. But that raises major conflict of interest questions because he's also a major defense contractor. youtu.be/b_mDTOKvyV8?...

Unsurprisingly, Dutton has pulled a disappearing act since the rate cut and left the task of explaining why it's a bad idea to his deputy and shadow treasurer.

That works out to almost 1¢ for every Australian per year, or to put that into perspective we spent almost as much in two years as we did in six whole days to welcome King Charles III to Australia. If Peter Dutton is elected and ends this waste, I will have almost 3¢ more at the end of his first term. I'm giddy at the prospect of such wealth

I love my one day a week in the office, where 4 people around me are having simultaneous video calls at their desk talking at regular speaking volume! Then I go to the bathroom where every cubicle has been the victim of a monster paint job! I love connecting with my colleagues!
