Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

I love #SamKonstas, and his performance on day one got me back into cricket after about 30 years of non-interest. But maybe now the media can go easy on the hero worship frenzy. We've seen enough of that over the years. #AusvInd

A bill that could see up to 80,000 people deported from Australia if it becomes law next week. A law that would create a global offshore detention network where refugees could be sent anywhere and then back to danger. Help us stop it: action.asrc.org.au/deportation_...

36,000 followers ain't gonna cut it, people. That's smaller than the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement denomination of the Sabbatarian movement formed from a schism in the European Seventh Day Adventist Church based on conflicting views over Sabbath observance, and they suck ass.

The mess we're in follows more than two decades of mismanagement by both parties, and a disastrous shift towards tuition fees and consumerisation which has nearly destroyed the idea of higher ed as a public good. First step to fixing this is to admit your mistakes www.theguardian.com/education/20...
