Gee, Universal Basic Income recoups more than it costs AND the recipients are happier and healthier.
Hmmm. Where have I seen those results before? Oh yes, in every other goddam pilot study of UBI for more than a decade. Ireland joins Finland in at least making a start.

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

It appears that NSW Police and the relevant ministers (Minns, Catley, and Kamper) have totally failed to manage the events of this evening. We were told the Major Events Act powers were needed to prevent chaos in the CBD — but what do you call this? Tear gas, pepper spray, crowd control collapsing.

all talent really is? It's one thing that you have a knack for right away. That's all it is. it is a single pea buried in the mattresses of practice. You don't even have to have that one thing.
Harping on talent is how they keep you from trusting you can do it. it's a grift.

I am honestly reeling that he refused a meeting with Noongar elders on their own Country after a terror event. The comparisons write themselves, but this is an objective wrong on its own terms. The IED thrown on 26 Jan in Boorloo is actually designated, yes belatedly, by the colony itself.

I have a 30 minute oration about how Au defo laws shape everything you see and hear in this country's media landscape. If some organisation or group of organisations cannot use *Epstein plotting to weaponise Au defo law to kill inquiry into his wrongdoing* to push for reform, we have no hope.
In the DOJ's Epstein documents, Lawrence Krauss, facing a complaint of sexual misconduct, noted Australia's plaintiff friendly defamation laws: "We may need to initiate a lawsuit (and against Gizmodo in Australia, where basically anyone can sue and win)"

Scoop: Australia's online gambling watchdog has ruled that using "prediction markets" like Polymarket is gambling.
It's a landmark decision that's at odds odds with the US where Polymarket has sidestepped gambling regulation by arguing it offers financial services
