The Arts do more than make money, they tell us who we are.
They’re an investment in culture, community, critical thinking and social cohesion. They shine a light on what it means to be human. ❤️ Maybe that’s why authoritarians hate the arts"

hello!! I know everyone is busy/the news remains bad, but if I may distract for a moment? There's a man named Ander Louis from the Yarra Valley whose sincere passion project is translating War & Peace into Bogan Australian. He's done Books 1 & 2. This is not a spoof. www.amazon.com/dp/108730656...

Hundreds of thousands of working Australians will be getting penalty rates when working over Easter. The bosses are trying to remove them. Labor has just committed to changing the law to protect them forever.

I don't want efficient government.
I want effective government.
The talk of "efficiency" is thinly veiled austerity. And there's no reason for it. It's irrational. It's a greedy agenda being pushed by a population of self-important wannabe aristocrats - the parasites of civilization.

“Worried about how the government will pay for $8.5bn over four years? … the richest 10% will get $27bn this year in tax breaks from the capital gains tax discount, negative gearing and the superannuation tax concessions” Greg Jericho #auspol

It’s time we asked: what is the cost not just to the budget, but to society, when the richest are helped to get richer?
The question ‘how do we pay for it’ only seems to come up when the government spends money on things that help low and middle-income earners

This is so frustrating. I want them to go further. Talk about policy, then get experts to discuss how these policies might actually impact different sectors.

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.
they had two options to arrest the decline:
1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system
tonight they chose to rig the system.
a dark day for australian democracy.

Yep, that about sums it up. Carbon offsets have been a huge distraction from efforts to cut actual emissions from fossil fuels for too long - time to focus on ‘real zero’ and the need to burn less fossil fuels.
Its the fossil fuel companies that benefits from distractions and faked complexity

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way"
Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated...
Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

People need to stop being satisfied with “better than the LNP”
FMD that’s like saying starving to death is better than dying of hypothermia.
Demand good government, not better than the worst option.

If you don’t believe in climate change, why would you propose nuclear, given it's so expensive?

A quick web search of how much water is used by a nuclear reactor shows that even the "once-through" cooling method (uses least) can have a throughput of some 4.6 Billion litres a day & consumes 30 Million litres a day.
This should be the starting point for each nuclear power conversion.

The elephant wasn't property in the first place, so it isn't mine to give away or sell. I would arrange for transportation back to where it came from, where doubtless it still has friends and family.
Then, I would gather all the shit and fill the car of the person who thought of this.
