I love watching something and being completely absorbed within it, and I hate it when my brain subconsciously notices a minor anachronism and I'm yanked right out.

the fun thing about democracy is how a small handful of rich cunts constantly make it all objectively worse for everyone but god fucking forbid you mention going all mangione on these pricks because you can somehow magically vote to make this not happen #auspol
Scoop: the pro-teen social media ban lobby group 36 Months was funded & co-staffed by its co-founder's ad production firm that was simultaneously making gambling ads
The federal government has ignored calls for a gambling ad ban while pursuing the social media ban.

The Prime Minister credited 36 Months for convincing him to ban teens from social media.
This group accused experts who opposed the ban of being 'bought' by big tech. Meanwhile, it was lining up brand deals, eyeing global expansion & developing an AI tool to track students

this is exactly it: Labor talks big about how legislation like this is to protect women while refusing to engage with any attempt to explain how it's always inevitably weaponised against them #auspol
So ... a dangerous abuser accuses his partner or ex-partner of a violent crime (this is common) & get the cops to charge her, usual delays until it's dropped/heard and now the govt will cut off the accused's entitlements, making her - & her children - wholly dependent on her abuser? Get out of it.

Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, contextualising tracks I've been listening to for months, and the album holds up pretty well without the movie. I got the narrative structure of the movie without having watched it. Album's not as good as, say, West End Girl, but good fun rather than rage. #KPDH

I should note that I never looked into it again after 1998 because it was clear I was never going to be able to afford to be insured. Those high risk pool prices didn't go down in the intervening years between then and the ACA's enactment.
And those uninsured years are why I'm now fully disabled.

Before the ACA I could not be insured unless I joined a high risk pool. The last time I looked into that was 1998 and it would have cost me $8000 a year (the equivalent of $15,600 today) when I was only making $20k before taxes.
We cannot let these Fascist monsters drag us back to that.

Do YOU know what your Republican Member of Congress means when they say things like "high-risk pools?"
It means they want to go back to when people with pre-existing conditions like cancer could be denied coverage.
