Slightly before dawn
each day, she died.

Sleep like death &
death like sleep

are common curses
Fair folk & wicked queens

are not always precise
in their diction.

There are consequences
for imprecision,

it is always someone else
who has to pay.

Ofir Birenbaum, the creepy little zio is taking Cairo Takeaway to court. He turned up there with a news crew and tried to bait them into looking antisemetic. It backfired badly on Ofir because it was a creepy fucked up false flag thing to do and he's trying to blame the victims of his racism.

It's November 20th here in the Antipodes, which is Trans Day Of Rememberance. We mourn all the trans women and men lost to our community through violence, murder and suicide, and medical mistreatment, our genderqueer and nonbinary siblings, and the First Nations third genders denied by colonisation.

If you're reading that Guardian piece and are in awe of what absolute irredeemable shitcunts Queensland Police are, you may be shocked to learn that they washed out Peter Dutton because he was too reprehensible even for them.

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?

This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise

www.abc.net.au/news/science...

CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP:

1982-83 = 0.17

2024-25 = 0.03

...

Scientific extinction event imminent?

Centrelink and the government don't want disabled people to have financial autonomy or safe relationships. They're cool with soft eugenics.

In 5 years time, it'll be articles about "why is Australia no longer a world leader in science and technology" and the half dozen scientists still on staff at csiro will be doing their best engine-room Scotty impression while frantically Morse code blinking for help & funding.
