I felt this needed some work, @senatorwong.bsky.social, to ensure it bore at least some kind of relationship to the truth. You're welcome. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #WTAF

Incredibly poor form here from the ABC. If you saw this headline and pic on their front page, you'd assume this picture was of the teen accused of murder. It's not, it's one of the victims.

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

Coming to the painful realisation that the only way for me to be happy in a job I genuinely love is for me to lower my standards and expectations, Which will crush my soul. That or being permanently on some kind of sedative to calm my rage. 🫠

What a perfect title. They are indeed tiny moments of joy that also bring joy to those of us reading them.

Can I tell you a secret? I don't care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country. I think it's a non-issue. Without social security numbers they're not getting the welfare people claim they're getting, the vast majority of them are normal people trying to live a better life.
This whole wall deport-the-illegals bullshit is just the one percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they're all poor, instead of realizing they're all poor due to vast income inequality and resource price inflation in combination with wage stagnation.
The existence of another poor person is not why you're poor. It's because the people who control everything refuse to increase your wages.

Yes! Although, remember, we are still during COVID, it hasn't ended.

I cannot tell you how surreal it was for me to be surrounded by other people in masks and to not be the odd one out. Sadly, this event is SAFER than every day at work in a cancer hospital 🙃 (sadly for me at work, I mean. GREAT for this event 😆)

“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.”

C. S. Lewis.

Source: x.com/LongCovidHel...

The cartoon shows a man wearing a medical mask standing safely on the edge of a cliff, while a large crowd of lemmings rush off the cliff into a ravine marked “COVID.”

One of the lemmings yells at the man, “You’re wearing a mask?! Don’t be a sheep!!” — implying that the lemmings, who accuse the man of “following blindly,” are actually the ones behaving like true followers by running off the cliff together.

Message:
It’s a satire on anti-mask attitudes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The cartoon highlights the irony of calling mask-wearers “sheep” while engaging in truly herd-like, self-destructive behavior by rejecting basic safety measures.

Alt text (for accessibility):
Cartoon showing a masked man standing by a cliff marked “COVID” as a crowd of lemmings leap off it. One shouts, “You’re wearing a mask?! Don’t be a sheep!!” — illustrating the irony of anti-mask rhetoric.

And this is why we need to fund science. Science leads to trials that have the potential to change practice and improve outcomes for patients.

I have spent countless hours arguing with Tassie funding boards for pts referred to clinical trials in Melb where I work. And it's so difficult for these pts to either have to move here or travel +++. This will limit these pts even further.
