Three white, star-shaped flowers on the green stem of a coffee tree.

The very first flowers are coming in on the coffee tree! I'll get a pourover out of this if it's the last thing I do.

When asked why she voted against a ceasefire in Gaza, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said "It's not good...if we don't have a positive relationship with the US"

Do we want our elected MPs to make decisions for us based on appeasing the US, instead of acting in Australia's interests? #auspol

IMO "echo chamber" implies an assumption that that community is representative of the population as a whole, and/or ignorance of opposing views existing.

But we've seen those opposing views. That's literally why we're here.

Bluesky is a "Thanks, but no thanks" chamber.

A person standing in a garden, smiling, with long hair, a beard, in a blue suit.

Hi lovely folks! I'm Matt (they/them/he). Based in Meanjin, father to two beautiful cats, musical theatre nerd.

I spend most of my time writing for theatre (that's code for "sitting alone in a darkened room, cackling at my own jokes").
