We live in a world governed by obligation.

Except in coaching culture, where “put yourself first” often means abandoning responsibility without reckoning.

Growth that erases obligation isn’t growth. It’s permission.

Warning - it shows Alex Pretti’s execution.

So is this what @albomp.bsky.social and his Deputy believe are the “shared values” we hold with the US and means we need to keep sending them billions for AUKUS?
Hard to watch but critical evidence. Save it somewhere and commit to #DefundFascism by delaying federal taxes, boycotting big businesses/ buying only necessities, slowing/ stopping productivity/ work, and strengthening mutual aid. Grow edible plants.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.

Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.

This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

The person apologising for failing to pass on the Sydney neo-Nazi rally protest information is the Deputy NSW Police Commisioner.

He was recently the acting NSW Police Commissioner and applied for the top job.

But 3 months ago he was passed over for the Commissioner's job.

Yes, indeed 😎

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.

Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good

When everyone has “their truth,” no one has the truth.

“If two people both claim that God revealed moral truth to them, but those revelations contradict, how do you know who’s right?”

We don’t grow anymore. We outsource it.
We’ve handed over our thinking, our feelings, even our humanity, to coaches, influencers, and self-help brands that package growth as a product.
Real growth isn’t scalable.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

From Napoleon Hill to Tony Robbins, from MLMs to manifesting, it’s the same recycled ideology. Growth is scripted, belief is monetised.
