Trying to figure out how to exist in the 21st century hellscape. I used to do radio and tell other people what to like. Now I’m just doing my best to remain sane. I hate Nazis. I love cats. I’m rarely ambivalent about anything.

Elon is DOGE & DOGE is Elon. What they're doing now is because they realize DOGE will likely be deemed unconstitutional. Now Elon's a senior advisor. But that raises major conflict of interest questions because he's also a major defense contractor. youtu.be/b_mDTOKvyV8?...

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE.
Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?”
Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

Unsurprisingly, Dutton has pulled a disappearing act since the rate cut and left the task of explaining why it's a bad idea to his deputy and shadow treasurer.

Labor never gets credit for their economic credentials and are always framed by journalists as less competent managing the economy than Liberals. This is a myth that has been around as long as the Labor Party. It’s tiresome.
This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
