Big fan of Proton, I use their VPN and email. They are improving their apps steadily. Still so hard to avoid Google but definitely worth trying where you can.

Quote from Anna Talbot: The money involved clearly demonstrates the Australian government’s priorities. A total of about $2.5 billion for the latest deal. The government is spending more removing some 280 people to Nauru than on protecting the human rights of the 27 million who remain in Australia.

This is abominable and Labor has lost its moral compass. How can I support a party that has this kind of power human abuse legislated

Streaming on Amazon and it seems to not have sound. Wish it was on the WNBA League Pass app instead. Never have issues with that.

I switched over from gmail to protonmail. You can migrate pretty easily and they don't steal your data like Google. I still have a Gmail but don't use it as my primary email.

This is very exciting!!

My producer sent this to me and off the headline I was like "oh right, so she got hit by a loose round"... but then when you see it... like, that officer saw she was a reporter and shot her ~on camera~. Absolutely wild. Hope @laurentomasi.bsky.social is ok.

Looking forward to this tonight.

I believe rego is free, so jump on if you can.

Nothing "vile" or "violent" or "vicious". These are emotive opinions. My opinion is it was just tough basketball. It's the #WNBA! They gonna play hard!! Big fan of Clark AND Reese btw.

This is not a denial

Possibly a bit police drama tho I guess

Blue Lights was very good.

So, there’s a new Panini album for the Club World Cup, and there’s a collectible gold sticker for a mystery star striker, guess who it is? You’ll probably not be surprised. 🙄
There’s a type of neediness to some of this behaviour that is hard to explain.
