Seems like a problem that most every smart liberal and left wing writer, researcher, analyst, and NGO worker I know is unemployed, grossly underpaid, or in a super unstable job, while a bunch of 20 year old Nazis with the talent and expertise of ass hair are getting paid $300K to post on Twitter.

The air drop dropped 25 tons of humanitarian aid over Gaza.

That’s less than a truckload.

Thousands of truckloads are needed.

There are thousands of trucks ready to go in. They are not being *allowed* in.

The answer is not to drop from the sky. It’s to open the gates.

If Australia can be included in Eurovision than Nutbush City Limits should qualify for Australian Hottest 100

A list of Australian songs that I voted for in the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs. The list is on a background of pink and purple flowers in an aqua square. Artists include Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, H&C, Max Sharam, Screaming Jets, Troye Sivan, Bardot, Waifs, Baz Luhrmann and the ABC News remix!

Weirdly excited for the Hottest πŸ’― today. Loving that one of my votes has made it in already.

Blows my mind how people don't understand the very most basic component of government: if you want people to do something, you have to vote them into a position of power.

But sure, blame the failed candidates who didn't get into office for not doing something to stop the people you put into office.

The Gen X Career Meltdown (Gift Article) Just when they should be at their peak, experienced workers in creative fields find that their skills are all but obsolete.

That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight, losing my religion...

At least we're not getting lumped in with the boomers for once? #GenX

I don’t know who needs to hear this but politicians who balance the books on the backs of the most vulnerable people are making the absolute opposite of a β€œtough choice”. It’s the weakest, most craven, most cowardly, most puny behaviour.

every time the "what can we do to connect to young men and pull them off right wing paths" convo comes up i keep thinking "have the suburban libs decided to pull back on making it illegal for kids to exist in public yet? because that'd be a great place to start"

In the 1930s, when Ethiopia was ravaged by Italy, it appealed to the world to insist that all be held to international law, not might makes right. They were abandoned. Later, Western powers were shocked at Germany doing to Czechs & Poles what they had let Italy do to Ethiopians.

It kills me that there's enough for everyone.

Enough food. Enough housing. Enough medicine. Enough money. Enough everything.

It takes active choices to stop everyone from having enough so a very, very few can have far too much.

There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it.

Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

If art helped you heal, even if that art was created by a deplorable person, please know that you extracted the joy, strength, and insight from YOURSELF. No matter how awful they are, your healing is pure and it’s entirely and wholly because of *you*

Anyone who spends as much time thinking about K-12 athletes' genitalia as some pundits and politicians do need to be subject some type of school zone ban or watch list.
