Retro & Indie game enthusiast, tired of corporations & politicians destroying everything I hold dear. Corporations aren't people; they can't be jailed. Politicians taking money from corporate should be jailed. Healthcare is a right. #CovidIsNotOver 🇦🇺

Hot take.

After "The great surrender" to rampant SARS-CoV-2 (and others), all airplane companies, and cruise ships operators should be directly billed for all medical expenses and sick leave.

They are the ones responsible for delivering disease globally, after all.

ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.

New study just dropped linking shingles reactivation and dementia risk.

You know what reactivates shingles? Covid.

Want to avoid it? Wear a well fitted respirator and give yourself the best odds of avoiding Covid infection.

There’s also a shingles vaccine which may help reduce risk!

Over 40 government officials were indicted or jailed over Watergate. From the U.S. Attorney General to the White House Chief of Staff; history often repeats itself. Those in positions of power need a reality check and look at their futures; kings don’t last forever.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

"As the Flu Surges in Asia, Could Getting Sick Year-Round Be the New Normal?"

We let COVID rip for years and it smashed everyone’s immune systems. Now flu, RSV and other viruses hit harder — being “sick year-round” is becoming the new normal. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We’re in the middle of a mass disabling event.

Covid isn’t over and Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine in South Carolina due to a measles outbreak. Measles disables more than it kills.

All the tear gas & pepper spray?

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

I've just seen some staggering data on how badly infections are affecting urgent care here *now*.

It's hard to comprehend.
It's hard to get your head round it.

You need to see it to believe it.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email
