I should say, I’m not expecting follow-backs from famous ppl. It’s a bit of an ego-rush when it happens, but I think if you have 10,000 followers you need to curate your timeline so your inbound information is a good fit for your needs. Happy to follow without reciprocity.

How appalling that the Australian Government has not shown support for the International Criminal Court after the US Government’s sanctions against it. This is a matter of principle. The ICC deals with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

In 1999 came the final death knell of housing as a "right", when it became an investment asset after the Howard Govt halved capital gains tax.
Housing became a product and an investment market, rather than the right.

This photograph of an iron lung ward was taken in 1952 at the Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center, the same year Jonas Salk developed the first effective polio vaccine & two years before RFK, Jr. was born. That vaccine rendered rooms like this unnecessary. RFK, Jr. wants to revoke its approval.

It occurs to me that the next Donald Trump is in fact …

Will the next Republican candidate in 2028 and beyond be Vance? Or Musk? Is Musk not a natural fit for the stereotype?
