The latest Dollars & Sense is up - talkin’ about housing, supermarkets and Trump’s film tariff brain fart.

The housing market just got more cooked
The federal government’s policy enabling five per cent house deposits is just a backdoor first homebuyer’s grant that’ll pump up prices.

Absolute master at making money from music, which tbh not many seem to know how to do anymore.

Nothing wrong with being a fan, so long as you know not everyone shares your taste so not get too upset when others think it boring/bad. I’m a U2 fan so I always listen to what they put out, even if I mostly now find only meagre bits of goodness.

Nah I disagree. Some very good albums, never really pushing artistic boundaries but some excellent lyrics.

I liked Midnights, the Poets thing was very “get over yourself, who cares about Matty Healy”

Yeah how dare people write about art except to praise it. Seriously weird take.

Not sure what I can say other than it makes great points and is written with a turn of phrase that lovers of good writing should revel in.

Wow. This would be a hoot.

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love | Sarah Schwartz
When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love | Sarah Schwartz
Not speaking would go against everything I was taught to honour: the righteous among the nations – those who refused to be bystanders to injustice To those I have lost – the teachers, mentors, loved ones – who once taught me what it was to be Jewish. Those who once shared my table, yet now sit on the other side of a deep chasm. I write with hesitation. My words have been twisted before. But silence has become its own wound. Continue reading...

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

This is fascism. At your door. At every door.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
