I don't know what you're talking about but I'd be interested in doing a podcast.

It isn't? Next you're gonna be telling me Brocky didn't die in a car accident and Dame Edna is real trans and not problematic!

When everyone was waving their hands saying "you're giving the corporations too much power America" and you said "fuck you here's a war" you ceased to be able to claim moral superiority. Welcome to the costs of the choices in you made 20 years ago America, colonialism comes home.

When your highest court decided the equal protection clause doesn't matter. "Citizens" of North American banana republics need to stop telling the rest of the world what democracy means.

lol the implication here that the constitution has mattered for years. A man did a coup. Then you elected him. You don't get to tell the rest of us what "Democracy" means.

If we do not continue to walk into Crown and put our neighbours welfare on black, then do we even have an economy anymore?

I've been walking around for the last week saying "I know its too early, but if we put the decorations up now we beat the Americans"

And ftr, the Nazis are already here, have been for years. Go back to 2019/2020 do you have any "violence is never the answer" posts? If so, you caused the nazis when you told us off for trying to stop them when we had a chance.

Keep this in kind whenever you're tempted to call anyone who has been a member of the Liberal party in the 21st century "moderate". They are all radical reactionaries. They are the extremists.

Birmingham a moderate? Hang on, let me get that overton window and throw it off the starboard side of the ship.

Changing things always causes pain, and Trump is a Nazi, but I'm yet to hear a left wing argument against Tariffs. When we had Tariffs we also had labour protections.

Unless you're one of those "lets meet the electorate where they are, Trump aint that bad!" lefites. In which case, fuck, you're why there are Nazis.

Dr Anth @anththehistorian.bsky.social · 29/11/2024
Right? For leftisits 1934 looks lots more hopeful than 2024! At least there were communists in the 20th century!

Don't forget that heaaps of people stayed home to force liberals to vote. I don't like trump, but liberals should have said no to him long ago! Liberals gave us Trump by not voting for lefitists when we gave you the chance (2020). Better to punch real nazis than be ruled by fash libs!

You should also google "Santorum" ;) just with image seatch off. And not use google, cos AI enhanced search engines are all fucking broken.

Do you actually not know? Cos months ago they tried to have a thing saying "we should call them skeets" but rappers already claimed that for the sweat mixed with cum that runs down your leg.

If you're going to do vibes based analysis at least hire a phenomenologist (I am available) to tell you what are actual vibes vs 'sounds good to me'.

I was interested in the insurance cost increase (glaringly omitted, as it is what we always told had caused the price increase). But then I read the author comparing what their wage at 19 (30% over min) with not even today's today's junior, and I realised this isn't serious analysis. Do better.

Controversial opinion: if you can't get your Toorak tractor in between the lines at the supermarket car park, you do not have the requisite skills to be driving something so big.

Some of those Trump rallies looked like he was on some sort of research chemical. Definitely not ketamine.

I haven't listened to any news since the first week of November but from what the consultant class were all saying then she's a shoe in, barely any need to show up to vote.

Is the Gillard minority still the most productive government in history? Can't imagine anyone in the last ten years has gotten more done than that government. The norm for parliamentary systems is minority governments and they seem way more effective than a two party system.

Looks like "finally making runs in the middle order of a shield side" might not be the best way to pick an opener.

Fun fact: I'm #Aboriginal - my mobs are Gamilaraay, Worimi, and Wonnarua, all in NSW. Second fun fact: Hello in the language of my Gamilaraay ancestors is 'Yaama'. So: Yaama Bluesky! #language

I've been on the internet since '94, it was ever thus. Communities rise and fall with trends and techs. There is always a 'golden era', which usually corresponds to the part right before someone realises they can make money out of it.
