Happy 50th anniversary of the day Australia came fully under the US' imperial control

A very upset baby leans forward with outstretched arms, pleading with her mother to save her from the grasp of a very subdued-looking shopping centre Santa.

I don't think my niece will be getting what she wants for Christmas

Finally, the way is clear for me to be Australia's favourite Caboolturien

Lauren tried to get her bathroom fixed. Then she got told to leave A Melbourne renter says she was left without a safe bathroom, and told by her property manager to use public facilities like pools and the library instead.

A Melbourne renter says her magistrate landlord left her without a safe bathroom for a month, and when asked where she and her family would bathe was told by her property manager to use bathrooms in public facilities like pools and the library www.smh.com.au/property/new...

I realise I was wrong. It was ableism

Can someone who paid attention to twitter for the past two years tell me if it's white supremacy or toxic masculinity's fault I got sick because some white dude with a chest infection didn't wear a mask on the plane

This went about as well as when I told it in front of my gf's whole family (no one laughed)

Drake when there's biting insects out: I needa long pants

Aussie Cricket legend Usman Khawaja tells SEN to stick it following the Radio Station’s pandering to the Israel lobby by sacking their own journalist Peter Lalor bcoz he dared to support innocent Palestinian civilians being slaughtered by Israel in Gaza. #auspol

I'm not convinced this would actually get you fired in Australia

The @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social ruling got me like:

That is excellent news

I've never professionally gone by James either... A little too familiar imo

[sic] "Your advise would be appreciated James Regards [redacted] P.S invoice please"

There's this landlord who constantly cc's me in on his long-running fight with his property managers, CAV, the REIV, et al and now I think he's asking for legal advice and he wants to pay me?

Real heads will remember the original get Jim reverified campaign

I don't think I said that at all

Yeah it's pretty off base

... That are owned by people on higher incomes and who own multiple properties.

Also if memory serves this was specifically about "mum and dad" landlords, because I wrote a story about a painter who was about to lose an investment property during COVID and cause he couldn't work. Obviously this is not the case for the majority of investment properties...

The way they act though... Is as if this is not the case

I still hold the view that they're closer in their class interests to non-propertied people than the capitalist class by virtue of being highly leveraged and at risk of losing their property if they lose their income, yes

We're gonna be winning so much everyone will be tired of winning

He also doesn't have any super or assets to speak of so he's pretty much laughing to the bank. Or from the bank. Or Centrelink to get a pension idk

Finally asked him to explain why and it basically boils down to the fact he doesn't like hegemonic powers

My father has always been incredibly and inexplicably anti-american and I'm happy to report he is feeling very vindicated right now

Unfortunately they were ruined when i got hit by a car in 22

Screenshot of Victorian legislative council Hansard which reads: Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Treasurer, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Regional Development) (12:34): Similar to previous responses, Mr Davis, we are building more homes and approving more homes, and more first home buyers are entering the market in Victoria than in any other state. In relation to the statements that you made, I might use some other words to counteract what you said, because recent analysis by Jim Malo at domain.com.au demonstrates that more investors are buying than selling in Victoria, meaning that there are more investment properties, not less. He also found that while more than 40 per cent of New South Wales investors invest in properties interstate, less than 10 per cent of Victorian investors do, because Victorians know that Victoria is a fantastic place to invest their money. As I said, if we are talking about pressure on landlords, let us talk about the facts. We know that interest rates have had an impact, we know that supply has an impact, and that is what we are taking measures on.

As far as I am aware this is the first time I've been read into Hansard (hooray) but unfortunately the treasurer got my workplace wrong (boo, hiss)

Crazy that at this point I think I would feel safer taking a plane in Madagascar (ranked 134th for nominal GDP) than the US (ranked 1st)

You gotta be really clear with these guys

This, but with full offence
