fascinating. In lower courts, the wheels of “justice” criminalise people born in poverty at around two minutes per matter, with collateral consequences for a lifetime, screened out of tenancy applications, jobs, the legal economy. But this guy. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

If I withdraw money from my Super, I'm told the value of my withdrawal is set at 3pm on that day. I presume that's because that's when they realize the cash based on prices at that time. Fair enough. So why then, in this age, does it then take 3-5 business days for the funds to arrive in my account?

Replying to @cato.org

the postwar period in America was the one that saw our greatest advances in the economy, infrastructure, and research & development. The unemployment rate was 3.5%. The top marginal income tax bracket was 91%.

💯 this !

This is an incredibly dangerous precedent and confirms all the dangers of AUKUS - wargaming Australia as the base for a US war with China - and us even paying for it. We need to end AUKUS before this becomes real.

💯 I concur. exactly as described. And it's everyone's duty to see this and confront how horrible it all is.

Please see the doco #NAZA. The film is a series of confronting interviews. There's no graphic war footage at all, until the last 5min. of bodies under ruins. Locations & session times: flicks.com.au/movie/naza/ #GazaGenocide #IsraeliWarCrimes #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

It wasn't just Tommy he was talking to, it was the person in the crowd who came in and thought "is Tommy right?" and left thinking "I think Tommy's wrong."

If Musk as an individual can thwart the defenses of the entire country of Ukraine at a whim, imagine what the US government could do to the submarines we'll have paid shitloads for under AUKUS should we ever decide the Chinese are the more predictable and reliable partner. We really are suckers.

Internet activism is working… It's making Israeli war criminals afraid to show their faces. Saving receipts is never 'useless', it's basic conservation. And it's being done extremely well.

LEARN what BenGurion 1st Israeli PM said: > Why should the Arabs make peace, if I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. > They only see one thing, we have come here and stolen their country, why should they accept that

This could be one of the most important films ever made. The fact that it has been released in the middle of an ongoing genocide and not after the fact is pivotal. What a courageous thing to do by the film makers...

I just watched NAZA. It was numbing to watch soldiers only semi-wrestle with the horrors they admit they thought of at the time as 'exciting' and 'fun'. Norman says as a people's army, the IDF are a faithful insight into Israeli society. Makes sense. But if so, I can't see how it survives.

I just listened to Mamdani's comments about Oct 7th. He is an amazing leader. America may need to change its constitution regarding Presidential eligibility because its current political gene pool without new DNA seems too hopelessly inbred to self repair.

One of the prerequisites for a judgement of Genocide.

Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social

Bombs, rockets, drones and snipers is one way to do genocide. But when a nominal ceasefire limits your use of traditional means, Israel uses bureaucracy. #GazaGenocide

On Sept. 6, mourners in Gaza City buried about 100 people who were finally recovered from the wreckage. 62 of those recovered from under the rubble were children. 55 belonged to a single family, the Malakas. They were killed by Israel in a single strike in November 2023.

It's frequently claimed that BYD cars are cheaper because most of what goes into one is made in-house. ain other words, BYD doesn't outsource - a huge benefit to its productivity and the cost of its product. So why then doesn't this logic also apply to healthcare? Privatised healthcare is a scam.
