We've looked at the VIC Seniors Festival and it's depressing yet again. I don't think I'd ever give a shit about a Ukelele performance, old farts playing table tennis, or line dancing, barber-shop-quartets or Julie Garland sing alongs.
How about informative shit like "Voluntary Assisted Dying" ?😳

Attention, Germany!

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

I hope it's the latter, but if 'TACO' does his shit with a 1000% Norwegian tarrif I'll donate to their comfort packs for taking a hit on behalf of the rest of the world. Nothing sent to Gaza made it because of Trump.😡

The announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize happens tonight before there is any known outcome of TACOs bullshit ceasefire plan. There are only two embarrassing outcomes and Trump features in both. One of them involves a Norwegian fingernail chewing epidemic and Stockholm syndrome. 😱 Any bets? 😵

There are fads throughout history that got 1st Prize blue ribbons for sinking economies. The recent ones that come to my mind were the 2008 financial crisis, the dot com bubble, 1973 oil crisis, etc. The latest "AI" circus fits the latest bust, but I'm torn between the two way race with Bitcoin. 🤔

WTF?
Where does the other 57.5% come from if it's a PUBLIC hospital? 😱
Is this the same modelling used to give private schools grand saunas and spas? This shit is going to end badly. The only reason why it exists is because rich twats own the Govt. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. 😡

David Pocock @davidpocock.bsky.social · 2d

The Govt committed publicly to chipping in 42.5% of the cost of public hospitals by 2030.

But we’re now told that that is actually unlikely to happen.

Public hospitals are experiencing huge demand, so it’s frustrating to see the promises but no firm commitment on delivery.
