Relevant and worthy discussion for us in NZ too!
Hand on heart, how expensive do YOU want housing to be? The answer depends on who you are (homeowner, renter, investor, banker, politician, concerned citizen, foster child etc.) and how much you put your own concerns above the collective concerns: buff.ly/9fDUTpW
How expensive do you want housing to be?
The real question isn’t whether house prices in Australia will keep on rising – it’s whether we want them to.

I’ve never seen Titanic or any of the Avatars, pretty proud of that TBH
I have not seen an episode of The Wire or of either version of The Office
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

The silence of so many Western journalists to the slaughter of their colleagues in Gaza (whose reporting they’ve relied upon) is already shameful.
But, this headline from Reuters tonight is unforgivable.
Parroting Israel’s grotesque, discredited & transparent lies.
Fuck Reuters.

Sometimes a photo stops you in your tracks.
Taken yesterday, Congressional Republicans sit smiling with the key architect of what major international agencies conclude is a genocide.
To answer future generations’ question: this is how it was allowed to happen.

For, and I cannot stress this enough, fuck’s sake.
David Seymour described smokers as “fiscal heroes” during a speech to a neoliberal thinktank in London this month: ““If you want to save your country’s balance sheet, light up, because … lots of excise tax, no pension.”

Thread of the day.
Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.
This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.
Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.
And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

When I see research results like these here my conviction to teach people a basic gut feeling of data grows stronger. Folks think that one in five people are transgender?! That’s soooo off. People think that 40% have served in the military?! That’s one of the reasons I share so many charts and maps.
