I love it when someone seems interested in something I care about. It's the best feeling to watch them explore and answer questions.

It's like they didn't watch the first season.

Were they expecting a new hope?

We're at the "boasting about arresting judges" level of fascism.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

“We are expected to believe that this extraordinary haziness on issues central to who should lead the country is somehow exciting and full of promise,” writes John Hewson “It isn’t. It’s simply nothing.”

Peter Dutton’s empty leadership

We don’t have a presidential election system in Australia and yet so much of this campaign and its media coverage has focused on the contest between the two major party leaders. It doesn’t need to be…

In Gaza, World Central Kitchen @wck.org is among the last organizations still able to cook meals. The IDF has shut all crossings to shipments, including humanitarian relief. We are now nearing the end of our supplies—and the limits of what’s possible.

They limited enfranchisement because they thought that people were too stupid to be trusted with a vote.

Before the internet you couldn't hear everyone's stories because there was no way for them to communicate what they were going through, or for the supporters of fascism to advertise the joy they got from causing others to suffer.

But it was still happening.

You're in favour of forcing them into spaces that put them at risk of violence that demonstrably happens.

That's infringing their rights.

Gotta give her points for branding. Someone mentions a disgusting bigot gloating over the stripping away of human rights and everyone knows who it is.

"suspected, "possibly", "might have".

They can make all kinds of allegations. Especially against someone who is denied any opportunity to defend or refute.

That's why it's as good an example for the importance of due process as any other.

Kids dead from measles. that’s who RFKjr was talking about, he’s confused them with autistic people again. Kids dead from measles will never pay taxes, hold down a job, play baseball, write a porm. Kids dead with measles tear families apart. That goof, he got them the wrong way round.

There are people in Australia who used to support the AUKUS alliance who are saying we should exit it.

You can't negotiate with someone who is lying to you.

The only real option is to look for trading partners that aren't America. And maybe different alliances too.

That post is some melodramatic crybaby accomplishment. That level of hatred towards women cannot be concealed, it's no wonder no one wants to kiss them.

The dude's a conman. The product he's touting is built from stolen content, lazily put together, is ruinous to the physical world and corrosive to the cultural landscape. And it doesn't even have the capacity to become profitable to investors any time soon.

Absolutely. The US' electoral system is a choice between two options, and not making a decision is a choice in itself.

But also, voters respond to the campaign and the Democratic Party has been at pains to protect the image of Republican party and voters and so managed to minimise the threat.

Well yeah. A lot of people who voted for Trump did it because they're terrible people.

But a lot of people who didn't vote for Harris did it because they're not terrible people.

Voter's being shitty is only part of the story, but it's the only part Dems seem interested in acknowledging.
