RFK Jr., back at the lab: "No no, I said two parts roadkill, one part whale juice! Do I have to do this all by myself?"

Baby, hold my hand!

RFK Jr: “We're developing a universal vaccine at NIH which is a vaccine that addresses the entire phylum of viruses.” “It's a vaccine that mimics natural immunity and it is effective against any kind of mutation.” “We believe it's gonna be effective against not only coronaviruses but also flu.” “And it's gonna be a much safer and a much more effective vaccine.”

RFK has announced that he is developing a vaccine against all viruses. Yes, every single one. The whole, uh, "phylum"

IDF chiefs break ranks Israeli military and security chiefs are active participants in Netanyahu’s biblical holocaust on Palestinians.

"The reality is IDF military killed their own people in a death spree intended to bolster the numbers of Israeli victims. This was a murderous plan to gain the sympathy of the world & damn all Palestinians as ruthless butchers, to be exterminated in a war of revenge."

The free market will respond efficiently with the things people need at a price they choose to pay.

Police fired their guns just three times last year New data shows police are drawing their weapons more frequently than in the past, even as firearm and Taser discharges remain rare

I think you already know the answer to the first two questions and the third is obviously 'silence'.

They should get Erin Patterson to cook for them (niche Australian reference).

ew gross. Just found out Palantir is a LOTR reference.

why are the nerds so fucking angry?

Man, I really hope you're being sarcastic because I laughed :D

Lol at all the people on this thread that think Steve Jobs would be any different.

He would have been exactly the same, because he was a capitalist swine through and through.

What do you think Apple's closed business model was all about?

Only innovated for cash.

Honestly, kill your darlings.

Fuck all the tech bros. I hope they choke on their fucking hubris.

Its goddamn intellectual property.

I mean, they worked so hard on banning downloading platforms when Rupert asked (to save his foxtwl revenue).

But they'll do nothing here.

And what of the victims? Is anyone going to talk to them?

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the pierogis.

I thought 1984 was a novel, not a how-to manual.

It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.

That's what I'd do if I were the big cheese.

Oi! Politicians, you can have that idea for free!!

I've worked in the public service for 20+ years and its good honest work. We just need more bodies. And more admin people. Let the social workers, teachers and nurses get on with it and give them all admin assistants for the paperwork that eats up their time!

There are real ways to improve things!

All the best people, aren't. 🩷

Anyone who has read Don Watson's 'Weasel Words' gets it.

Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to lower-security prison in Texas Move comes after Maxwell met with deputy attorney general about those involved in late sex offender’s crimes

Lol. According to the Guardian, this woman is a confidante, not a CONVICTED SEX TRAFFICKER. FFS.

Will you Goddamn American stop saying heading into, or sliding or whatever euphemistic term you're using.... YOU ARE THERE. YOU ARE LIVING IN A FASCIST, TOTALITARIAN, DICTATORSHIP.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Australia needs to act on Palestine recognition – even if that means standing up to Trump | Tom McIlroy Albanese will be right to act with Macron, Starmer and Carney on recognising Palestine; it’s the responsibility of the international community to speak up against suffering and human rights abuses

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australia would strengthen its national and global identity by standing up to bullies.

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

Ew whenever the refer to the public, the community, as customers, you will get the worst possible outcome.

Then there's the 'internal customers' AKA your colleagues!!!!!!!!

Do you love libraries, efficient and transparent rubbish disposal, solid emergency responses, parks and open spaces?

ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT!!

"I wish her well" isn't that how it goes?
