Ed mubarak to all those who celebrate 🍀

What unites us is not a sausage in bread, but voting!
Democracy matters; please stop cheapening it. #auspol

I've been catching bits of the new Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar aka the Belle Gibson saga, and to me this isn’t just a scammer story, it’s a brutal takedown of the vacuous, hustle-driven startup culture that let her thrive, a culture that still exists (ask anyone on LinkedIn) today.
