I posted this print by Danial Ryan that I have, and someone got really mad, saying that I was promoting harm toward cats, obviously don't care about animals, animal abuser, etc. etc. They were not joking.

Here's what I totally don't understand.
I can have a tax discount on a $90k ute that will always cost a fortune to own.
Or.
I can have a $50k sedan that's better in every way.
Why do Australians buy the tank?

unstoppable force (US/UK boomer need for care labour) vs immovable object (the global g20 rage against immigrant labour)
The largest generation in U.S. history is in their 70s now. And Stephen Miller’s podcaster wife thinks it’s suspicious that there’s a huge surge in home health aides.

never, ever, ever debate TERFs.
The problem is TERFs are obsessive and have their talking points ready to go, while for most normal people, this is not a topic we spend much time thinking about, so we need time to warm up. It’s like dealing with 9/11 Truthers and their endless “but what about Building 7” or whatever.

NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record.
Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late).
Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

It is with some trepidation that I mention that "don't inject poppers" is advice I have given in a professional context.
No seriously, don't drink or inject poppers, you can get very ill or die.

Warning: Contains scenes of drugs misuse? no no, that's just regular drug use. you're supposed to do that with drugs. that's how they work. drugs misuse would be injecting a cannabis.

I see the Brexit-backing owner of Dyson, who offshored himself and the firm for tax reasons, is moaning about having to pay tax on the extensive farmland that he bought here as a way to avoid inheritance tax.
Hang on. I'll find my violin.

I rather think what has put Dyson's "family business¹" at risk is selling fucking hugely overpriced non-essential sucky-blowy machines.
¹ Does he want us to think Dyson is like some kind of local greengrocer or something? The massive splat of jizz.

Small note: almost everyone* in Australia is immune to measles. If you aren't sure about your status and can't check your records there is a cheap blood test that can confirm your status.

Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.
