I don’t care who you are, if you’re a nonce you belong in prison. NO exceptions.

This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of my father's death. He was a complicated guy, especially so during the last few years of his life. The thought of a fucking a.i. on my phone trying to capture his humor and complexity and, frankly, craziness, makes me feel ill. I'll stick with my memories.

Inquiry into Women's Pain Over 13,000 people contributed to Australia's first Inquiry into Women's Pain. Insights from the consultation formed 27 recommendations to bridge the pain gap for Victorian women and girls.

Grim reading, but good to see the historic focus of medicine on white males, and the resulting neglect of women & gender diverse people being acknowledged.

"An astounding 90% of respondents reported experiencing pain lasting longer than a year, and 54% described living with pain every day."

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

What you see without an OGI camera vs what you see with an OGI camera.

What you are seeing in a plume of methane and VOCs.

You can see how it is so easy for them to ignore the ongoing systemic methane pollution.

FWIW, social democracies like Norway, Sweden etc have big businesses. They have billionaires.

They also have universal healthcare, quality free education & child care, and programs to curb poverty and food insecurity.

How?

Their billionaires pay taxes and don’t control the government.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.
