Have spent the day resolutely focused on all the people who helped, who risked their own safety to ensure the safety of others. It’s no small thing in all that horror. Hate is a sickness.

Australia is not like this. Those two horrible guys and the creeps who poisoned their minds are like this. The vast majority want to go to Hanukkah, or Christmas, or Diwali , or just a picnic with the family or a public screening of a movie, without violence. Community. That’s who we are. #auspol xx

If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.
If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.

I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles
Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

I don't understand why states aren't passing laws that say any AI data center built here is required to run on solar energy and have some kind of internal water recycling system. AI could have led the way in green energy to power these stupid things but this is just another reason to hate it.

Australia’s previous farmers are nothing but arseholes exploiting their migrant slave workers.
This has been a disaster since day one.
Any farm with migrant workers as primary source really shouldn’t be trusted.
Immigration don’t protect visa workers. IMO.

SEWB, as currently applied, is not a measurable construct.
No agreed thresholds.
No standardised outcomes.
No national benchmarking.
And in policy systems, what can’t be measured is quietly deprioritised./7

AMP chief economist, Shane Oliver, says average grocery prices are up 21% since 2020 but average wages only up 16%.

“So people who are really stretched have to make choices as to what they cut back on,” he says. “& some would cut back on some food items.”
