Easier when the time pressures aren't there, but well worth the effort.

Mmmm, what a difference it makes to mindfully eat streaky bacon, poached eggs, cherry tomatoes and ripe avocado on real sourdough toast after I've cooked it all myself. Compared to whatever stuff I might buy, ready to eat, huffed down in 5 minutes. No comparison.

US streamers claimed (lobbying Tony Burke) that - if he introduced Aus film & TV quotas for local content - it would lead to *less* diversity! (while they are drowning us in American content)

My late mother-in-law had a purple XU-1 in the early eighties. Neither of us drove so she used to drive the three of us between Leeton and Narrandera at about 150km/h.

smell the productivity. Even authentically critical and empirical ai research and coverage thereof is already absorbed into the guns and butter economy.

Remember when ISIS blew up religious cultural and religious historical sites in the Middle East and Afghanistan and everyone was horrified and apalled and thought it was a terrible crime?

Honestly, I'd be a little less concerned about the US freefall into fascism if the UK and Australian governments, supposedly of 'the left', were not as shit as they are

Fixing our housing crisis?
Imagine if our super funds - $4trill, up by $4bill per week - had for last 30 years invested in Aust public & affordable housing.
Why have our politicians, ever since Keating, ignored any such policy?
Why haven’t our lemming-like economists been advocating this?

Imagine if dental checks were funded by Medicare in Australia, and peridontal disease was picked and treated early, lessening the chance of cardiovascular disease and stroke (and thus saving public health dollars)

Anybody who thinks that the USA can or should 'just go back to the good old days' profoundly misunderstands the problem.

There's no way back, only forwards.

The choice cannot be between "win every election from here until forever" or maga fascism.

Liberalism will need to fight for structural permanence just as aggressively as fascism does.

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
But the walls came down
I don't think there are any Russians
And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin' with tanks
