We need more of these independent people in important positions in society, as opposed to secretive Govts who are beholden to cartels - in CMFEU case criminal ones

It's a massive waste of time

As Pauline Hanson’s One Nation roars back, what can Australia learn from the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK? | Tim Soutphommasane It may not just be immigration and economic anxiety at play but also a sense of cultural anger and loss. Vigilance is needed

One of the biggest differences is that Farage seems to know how to run a party and Hanson does not. You can draw comparisons because they both appeal to base human emotions, but we are not England and Hanson has a spectacular track record of failure. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

Seriously what the fuck

I missed the bluesky vs X discourse but as always you can start everyone one of these debates with a simple question!!!!!

Centre-right 'betrayed' West, MAGA figure tells Australian conservatives Benjamin Harnwell, the "international editor" of Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, says centre-right politicians have "betrayed" the West by supporting "mass immigration".

An invitee to the Advance conference said that Angela Merkel “did more damage to the fabric of her country than the Nazis did, than Hitler did, 80 years ago.” Because immigration, apparently.
Can’t believe there are sections of the local Jewish community that support this organisation.

You know the Greens are doing something right when Israel feel the need to take a brief break from indiscriminately slaughtering Gazan children to speak out against them.

This one hits hard.

The hatred & bigotry towards Muslims from Pauline Hanson is next level. She rptedly says she's worried if "Gia Hadd" is called. Personally, I don't have Gia's phone number.

If you can't even pronounce the terms correctly, or know what they mean, just shut the hell up. 😠 #auspol

I’m glad to hear that I was thinking about when Disney left, they were getting so much hate for being “woke.” What year was that? AT After Twitter.

very funny to me to see folks who have no social media presence outside of twitter say you have to be on twitter to be influential

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

‘I did this to help and now I’m the one who’s going to need help’: NDIS call handlers describe pressure cooker workplace Serco-run operation regularly fails because staff are not properly trained and pushed to meet call volume targets, a senior NDIA employee says

The hiring and training process shouldn’t be seen as the main issue here. The problem is the contractor is Serco and their hires are being employed to run a neoliberal outsourced approach to the NDIS. Of course they’re demoralised and traumatised www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
