His brain is pudding. 2017 Trump had*almost* no filter, yes, but that tiny bit of protective awareness is completely gone as his neurons fizzle out and liquify
"I wasn’t a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person,” President Trump tells reporters when asked about the killing of actor/producer/activist Rob Reiner. “He was very bad for our country.”

This 2019 exposé on PHONy seeking some filthy lucre from the sepp0 gun lobby seems especially relevant today somehow.

to those confused about australia's gun laws: we had a very successful buyback program after port arthur. different states got pretty complacent with buybacks in the last decade. the number of legally acquired guns increased.

this article is three months old.

Australia was once the gold standard for gun safety. Experts say it’s losing control
Gun numbers have rapidly increased, 3D-printed firearms are routinely seized by police and one state is on the verge of enshrining a ‘right to hunt’ in law

About half (51%) of these private provider decisions were overturned, but not before people were cut off from vital payments - and any threat to the payment causes so much stress and extra work for an already struggling person

that decrease is also way lower than I thought post PA. still 2.1 million firearms for 18.8 million people, that sounds like a huge number, and now 4.08?

guessing lots of firearms that are for government workers like police, but still
This chart shows complete failure.

when the media starts platforming Hanson on this remember she believes and promotes the insane lie that Port Arthur was a government operation.

Where I live, there are enforced rules about what colour you can paint your house and about a kid wanting an Insta account but my neighbour could own multiple rifles.
As I understand it, legal gun ownership requires a licencee to demonstrate a "genuine reason" for such ownership. But a 50'ish suburban man can have 6?!!
The 50-year-old Bondi beach terror suspect who died was a licensed firearms holder, and had six firearms, NSW police say. Police have the six firearms from the scene yesterday. His 24yo son is in police custody in hospital in a critical but stable condition.

There would be less than ten thousand people Australia wide that have a legitimate business reason to keep a firearm in their home. The vast majority of people who need firearms for work would access them through a managed armoury.

Why do we have 4 million registered firearms in Australia?

2025 TWITTER RECRUITMENT: you have to come back, it’s so much worse now
My pleases-nobody sense of Return To Twitter Discourse is that the place can never return to what it was, and can never return to the idealized past version we imagine either, nor can that idealized past version be constructed anywhere else because it was always romantic self-regarding bullshit

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Here's a story in the Guardian from a few months ago ringing alarm bells about firearm ownership in Australia.
Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge
There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

Disgraceful of Jillian Segal to use the Bondi attack to demand “acceleration” of her abhorrent recommendations & already point fingers w/out even waiting for police to uncover any details, esp when she failed to ever stand up against the worst antisemites around, the Neo Nazis.

A private citizen has no need for guns, let alone 6. We need to tighten gun control again.

Despite two damning ombudsman investigations, this Department has learnt nothing.

The fact that people regularly overturn unlawful suspensions of their payment does not justify unlawfully suspending their payment. It's incredible that this still needs to be pointed out
