We keep telling the government - we don't want automated robo-debt, or data centres everywhere, or aged-care assessment by algorithm, or non-professional NDIS decisions. Employ real people. Pay real wages. Fix hospitals & schools. Tax the squillionaires & giant companies. Can't be any clearer.

Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

I'm last to the Shane Gillis discourse, but here I am. Let's go. There's much more to be said than can fit here in a 90 second clip so for my full comments, listen to the intro to this week's Savage Lovecast, out now!

I know I'm an old stick in the mud, but I think it's reasonable to expect the actual president of the united states, who started the fucking war, to be the one with the solution for the problem he caused, and this Orson Welles Care Bear ought to be locked up in a submarine brig.

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

It blows my mind that TRUMP has limited Ukraine’s access to Starlink so its drones are not able to go at full speed, limiting its defence against Russia. TRUMP IS LITERALLY SABOTAGING UKRAINE TO HELP RUSSIA. Why is Australia a US sycophant when the US is siding with Putin? @albomp.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This guy has been and still is my ‘human university’. By that I mean he’s taught, inspired and echoed my inner thoughts & theories more than any other human I’ve ever come across. Here he is talking about humanity’s “circling the drain”. His name — GEORGE CARLIN.

There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.

The US situation is what will happen here if One Nation & a lot of Lib/National Party politicians get their way. Pregnancy is the biggest statistical risk to women's health - after ex- and partner violence. The next politician to say a version of 'feminism has gorn too far' should be abyss-hurled.

Can male politicians, influencers and public figures get a grip and stop acting like women have declared war on you. They haven’t. Wanting an end to women being raped and murdered by men and boys being radicalised to hate, fear and resent girls and women is a good thing.

Will Marles meet with Hegseth's spiritual advisors too? Evangelicals who believe wives should submit to their husbands; women should not vote; homosexuality is a crime; defend slavery. Believe that the US should be a theocratic state? The people he bends his knee to in his pursuit of a Holy War?

Sooby reposted

Yeah, will anyone in the Canberra press gallery do their job & ask Marles his opinion on Hegseth's purge of US military leadership/staff who are not clean-shaven, straight white cis-men? Does he agree with it? Will it affect choice of ADF personnel working on joint projects? Why is he such a weeny?

So terribly sad to hear of the death of Sam Neill - someone I was privileged to call a friend. Funny, kind, welcoming,remarkably talented, curious... arms always wide open with a greeting. Vale 🥺 (And fuck, fuck, fuck it !)

This 1972 anti–Vietnam War ad for McGovern captures a timeless truth: protesting isn't enough; we must vote. Imagine if profiting from war was illegal worldwide. As John Stuart Mill said, bad men win when good men look on and do nothing. Let’s act. Do something.
