If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

If Dutton were to explain how his nuclear plan works, *it wouldn't work*. As @adammorton.bsky.social lays out nicely here, Dutton has left out meaningful info for a nuclear strategy.
Just enough of a mirage to sustain a noisy debate on something that won't happen (and he won't try to make happen)

The election could be called any day – but Peter Dutton still hasn’t explained how his nuclear proposal will work | Adam Morton
His claim that nuclear power would lead to cheaper bills in the near future isn’t supported by the modelling released to back it up. But the soundbite survives …

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Late diagnosed neurodivergent people were relentlessly criticized growing up for behavior(s) they could not help. Once they figure it out suddenly everyone that’s been criticizing them their entire life has the audacity to say things like: “You don’t have autism or adhd. You are perfectly normal.”

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.
