De Brouwer made the exact same argument two years ago after the Robodebt Royal Commission report was delivered. This is how I treated it in Mean Streak: "Grow up."

I want to call out something that has been completely missing from all the analysis on why the Greens lost Melbourne: Greens voters can't afford to live there anymore.

Swapping my phone for an analogue camera, I took inspiration from my family albums and started photographing the things that mattered most
There’s something magical about holding a physical print of a moment you’ve captured. I first experienced this…

These days Spotify and the streaming model are normalized, but it’s had a huge effect on how music is made and enjoyed.
This week @lizpelly.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss the consequences of the Spotify model and whether it can be changed.

Biden warns of an oligarchy taking shape, of a tech industrial complex. He also just signed an executive order to lease federal lands to tech companies to build more data centers for AI.
That tech oligarchy is already here, and Dems are still enabling it.

To be clear, current environmental laws give Tanya Plibersek the power to save the maugean skate, a dinosaur era fish AKA the ‘thylacine of the sea’ from the salmon industry.
The government doesnt need new laws to save the skate, it needs new courage

This kind of thing has become so normalised. No wonder people are yearning for a mythical past

Not sure I've seen a bill more ill-thought through, and designed under the knowledge it is unworkable just because a govt is too weak to make a case against it because it is scared by FM stations and dying news.corp papers
The Social Media restriction Bill is rather absurd.
Hey we don't know what "reasonable steps" are but... you know... just work it out, oh and it will change over time so... errr... good luck with that!

One time, in high school, someone asked me where I'd get a tattoo. I said "on the inside of my eyelid", because I thought it was funnier (and cooler) than saying I didn't want a tattoo. This is not the same, but for the record, I wasn't serious.

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.
This is the next phase that Kiwi Farms members have stated they will do - constructing look-alike blocklists and then adding popular trans people to them after the fact, once the blocklist is seeded in the community. Make sure any block list you use says who runs it.
Do you know who is running this list? Reason for asking is they copied this account's lists verbatim, but do not say who is running their account.
