In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

Anyone who has had any sort of dealings with Optus is completely unsurprised by the Triple 000 failure #insiders

Voters turning away from the established political parties can be traced back to the growing divide between rich and poor or more to the point extreme wealth and the middle class. #insiders #auspol (goes without saying that the far right is not the answer).

I think if an AI platform dedicated to public policy development* existed, politicians would suddenly find AI regulation a matter of priority.

* This may already exist but I haven't heard of it because who can keep up with them all?

Someone in Gavin Newsom's Comms team is having the time of their life right now writing those messages.

It's wild that one of the best rock bands ever is largely unknown outside Australia #hottest100 #coldchisel

I'm going to re-post this because it seems to apply to the LNP government up here in Queensland. #auspol
The worst outcome from the defeat of the Voice referendum was that racists saw it as the country endorsing their views (when it was really an inept yes campaign not answering voters' questions) and have been emboldened. #auspol

Really tackling the big issues on the ABC website...🙄

As long as TV shows are being cancelled all over the place, could the ABC please cancel Planet America? US politics right now is bloody terrifying and the "quirky" commentary completely misses the point.

You know if I was the Liberal Party or the National Party, I'd just stop talking publicly for a while. #auspol

Further to this, they hand women the leadership when it isn't valuable to them. If they think they are a chance at the next election (possible but not probable) the blokes will challenge for the leadership.
Also, Ted O'Brien? Way to remind voters of Morrison.

Women are given political leadership usually when a party has made a total mess of everything and someone needs to clean up said mess so I guess Sussan Ley will get the nod. #auspol

Richard Marles is probably feeling very pleased with himself right now but he's made a strategic error because Ed Husic is way smarter than him and more popular. Not smart to have someone like that 'outside the tent'. #auspol #insiders

A thousand times this.

Don't underestimate how often employers (not all but...) look at their wages budget and think "that could be mine!!".

I have started and deleted many posts about Australia’s federal election because I wasn't sure if more hot takes were needed. They aren't but I will say this: 🧵 #auspol
