As an IT expert who grew up with the Internet it's just a nightmare to try find specific info or facts now

It’s no longer necessary to suppress information. You just have to make the cost of sorting fact from fiction, in terms of time and effort, too high to pay for the ordinary person’

Please join us at the rally to save the #StateLibraryofVictoria from mismanagement & insane staff cuts. Library steps, Saturday 13 December at 12.30. Every citizen of this city owns this place & now we have to defend it. I'm sorry we're all so busy & distracted by bad things: but this we can do.

A Buddhist paradox. In order to achieve enlightenment one must relinquish the desire for enlightenment.

I'm wondering which one, or multiple lobby groups @albomp.bsky.social is setting himself up to work for post his PMship/political career. It's a big Bingo card.

The fact that people treat Trump as sane, seems insane to me.

So I was thinking about where the Albanese Labor Gov't is going compared to the Morrison LNP and this song came to mind. I have no idea why.

Rum: aged for just over 2 years. First impressions on the nose are of crème brûlée and sticky date pudding. A creamy & warming palate reveals buttered pancakes & pecan pie finishing in a long slow savouring of deeply roasted nuts with a subtle yet vibrant oak.

I'm a Brit and, I'm going to be frank. Really frank. I'm fucking disgusted looking at these images. What the fuck is America doing to itself? Have you all lost your fucking minds? We all fought and won WW2 to prevent this kind of thing happening in our countries. And here you are doing it anyway.

When it vascelates between being 16°c with a freezing cold wind one day and 36°c with a furnace blast wind in less than 48 hours, it certainly makes it hard to acclimatise.

If there is (another) one thing that really passes me off is multi-billion $ corporations with their tens of millions $ executives remunerations asking for public/consumer donations to their tax dodge charity donations.

Retailers need to get used too declining profits. You can't be part of an economic landscape that drives down wages so people are struggling to pay for their housing, health & food & then believe those same people will spend money they don't have, on your products. It's a ridiculous idea.

Under the "give unto Caesar" directive in the Christian bible, the churches/pastors/evangelists, throw the donations into the air saying: "God, take what's yours, and that which falls back to earth belongs to me."

A modern day Christian Jesus would turn the loaves and fishes into crostini and caviare for his 12 sycophamtic followers and said: "f* the rest".

Melb<>Syd in late 60s/early 70s. Walk-on walk'off Southern Aurora. Great dinner, drinks, overnight sleeper, breakfast, shower, arrived refreshed and ready for business. No airport/hotel drives, wasted time on long airline and hotel check-ins/transfers. Cheaper than airflight+accommodation. Loved it.

OK, I'm sick of this shit. Why can we not train, and appoint, future judges, so that once they put on a robe, wig, hood or whatever, they enter a mental state that puts aside all personal* biases, self interest, etc. and act totally within the social -intent- of the law?

More and more 25-35yos I talk to, both WASPS and migrant/imigrant descenents, are turning more right wing, pulling up the draw bridge to protect their diminishing privilege against migration in fear of a climate instability/change tsunami of mass migration. The elites' division tactics are working.

Time, after time, after time, Australia's scientific, medical and engineering discoveries have been ignored by our Gov'ts and starved of dev funding, only for the patents to be sold off-shore for a pittance, and the resultant products imported at price gouging cost.
