what do you mean you hate black licorice? do you also hate picking at that itchy little bit of skin around your fingernail? do you also hate walking in the rain when a cold breeze cuts through you? do you also hate the feeling of knowing you've let down a loved one?

This whole system needs an overhaul. And not an evil “let’s overhaul this system so we can dismantle it” kind of overhaul. The kind that, you know, fixes things and helps people. Radical idea I know.
Dear Lord. Centrelink says 144 different parts of its system have been operating unlawfully or erroneously.
This scandal of 44k overpaid debts is just ONE of the 144 issues they say they've identified.
The welfare system is in complete crisis & disarray

I agree with @grogsgamut.bsky.social that these figures are horrific.But i think his diagnosis is wrong.
Its a problem for judicial system only if innocent people are being convicted. There is no evidence of that here.
Rather this is either (a) a policing problem or (b) socio-economic problem. 🧵

You can't live your life based on hate - that way lies madness and bitterness - but allowing yourself to slip into hater mode from time to time is a lovely little treat, like a drunk cigarette or a decadent slice of cake

Tried writing a “Some legal experts have called it a crime to” joke post in reply, but there’s just no beating it as it is. Pure uncut perfection.
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
