Thanks mate. I posted this before the appalling incident at Bondi 🙏😔

Police recently confirmed "at least" 12 killed

(From Australia) Good on you Flav. You're an absolute legend.Would love to see more people in rap do the right thing and say enough already, let's rid the world of guns.

Any political party that was ABLE to guarantee (impossible in America's system) modest but practical reform (like the discounted medicine that Australia's PBS system offers) would undoubtedly, massively win. Wouldn't matter who the leader was...POC,woman, lesbian,trans...they'd romp it in

Rare attempts to implement election promises are shot down by courts or stymied by dicks like Manchin.

The reason that appeals to practical policies to alleviate... EVERYTHING... don't resonate is that the public knows such policy talk is insincere branding.

Deliverism is a bizarre bullshit excuse that justifies the awfulness of American politics. It's not elite incompetence, the people really want and love this shit show we gave them

It sounds like the old NPR sketches on SNL with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon where they talked in exaggerated hushes.

Okay, I think I figured out how to turn the audio sample into a video that can be uploaded to Bluesky. Here are the first 3 minutes.

I liked that badger thing

How do VC's make money from failed bullshit? Fee structure. Say you're a VC with a 20% carry if the venture succeeds.

You ALSO have a guaranteed management fee of 2% of AUM per year. So you create a $1B "Deep Tech" fund, that's $20M a year. These sci-fi projects take 10 years to fail. That's $200M.

It's a coin flip between internal or external.

White Americans & Europuds, particularly in Eastern Europe, have forgotten that the US only won Cold War 1.0 because LBJ & White Liberals convinced Africans & Asians that it was becoming less racist.

China is a military AND economic peer power.
