Still think that if Albanese really wanted to reduce harm to under 16 yr olds, restricting exposure to sports gambling was a lower hanging fruit than social media, and much more simpler to enforce. But here we are. Trad media wanted to hit back against tech, instead of their own revenue source

Im not really loving how they changed the name to the Department of War, and then told senior military leadership that the enemy is “within.”

Trying to imagine an angry brown guy doing this and police just going yeah, whatever.
Thomas Sewell is a very dangerous man. That he can turn up threatening the premier two days after being filmed attacking Camp Sovereignty and he still isn't arrested is quite something.

Some things I never heard about when I was a kid that therefore could not have existed and were later caused by vaccinations: testosterone, international sea lanes, real vanilla, and John Lee Hooker’s version of ‘Boom, Boom’.
