I was frustrated by the sale at the time but it is what it is. Sustainable development going forward is a lesson learnt. I've never NOT compared any smartwatch I've owned to the Pebble. That it remained through the years a type of golden standard is nuts

There is the back and forth between Rebble and Core, fair. As Google acquired Fitbit and as a part of that. Pebble, does Google have their fingers in the pie in any way as an open source project? I'm excited for the future and understand why emotions are high, a lot has been put into Pebble

Good spotting the scammer. I searched for my name, and of course I'll always find the far more popular singer of the same name. I'm 45, so I was here first, lol But yes, there's a bunch of scammers. I do sing but for kids. Sometimes I'll come and the educators will make fun because of the name

I've no problem with leaders having the time and resources to do their job An issue I see, as a practical progressive, if the conditions of the job are too hard or the pay too low, then bribery will be a bigger issue than lobby influence, and the private sector more compelling

What would you want more of in the budget? AUKUS is something that would need to be slipped out of carefully, it signifies a stepping away from the alliance Jackie Lambie style (which I'm not all together opposed to, but what fills the power vacuum?)

Starting to see through @thejuicemedia.bsky.social and calling Labor "Shit Lite" while advocating for Climate 200 There are other progressive independents, Labor however are certainly not "same same", "all as bad" etc

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

@climate200.bsky.social on unions and progress? So, "major parties are a duopoly" but that teals would basically be the LNP if they cared about action on the energy transition Good... if you were otherwise voting centre-right anyway, right? #auspol

Anyone with an energy retailer who charges wholesale prices through the day and charges accordingly knows those low prices are from renewables flooding the energy market Dutton is shocking with the blatant political storytelling fiction he engaged in #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/dutton-blame...

The council area in Knox in Melbourne's East is seeking guidance for community assets over budgeting. Noticing a right leaning business type on council, is this quiet talk for "the doors are open to sell off public assets?" I hope not #auspol www.knox.vic.gov.au/whats-happen...

I'm no Trump supporter, I was neutral on the US not having an official language A future administration not playing into the anxieties of people could do well by adding other recognised official languages which could do well in giving focus to funding (sign language, First Nations languages, etc)

010

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

the USA has not had an official language, which has frustrated people with the great replacement & anxieties often amplified by bad faith types in the media Designing English does however stage the obvious, as one would still need to get a certain IELTS score to attend University, etc

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I agree It has something biblical-ish sounding about it. Many are not political, will see something that sounds biblical in nature (law, sin, death, etc) and it will sound familiar and therefore right Critique to the same audience would need to be phrased in a way that likewise sounds prophetic

000

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Because economists are looking at the economy as a flat percentage, not factoring in distribution So up go interest rates, the cost of consumables goes 👇 and the price of assets that the wealthy want (real estate, gold, stocks) all go ☝️ governments & people end up poor

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Labor just moved to stop overseas people buying preexisting homes, putting on them what the negative gearing reform would have done for every investor This might shift things. Progressives will see it as step before making the same rules for all investments. RWNJ's just like immigrant bashing

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

And by hand-balled to governments, that's debt coming from the tax payer at a time everyone's crying about energy costs I just think "why are people calling out for nuclear?" Well, right wing media are calling out, I suspect some of them have mates who want some corporate welfare for their projects

010

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

apparently it can be recycled and reused, and this was discovered early on... however had an end put to it because the process makes it easy to extract weapons grade plutonium

110

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

So, regarding nuclear. It can be recycled. Spent nuclear rods that need to be stored forever can be recycled, and each time that's done - the waste is easier to deal with although it's costly SCARILY though, the easy byproduct is weapons grade plutonium 😬 Is this the game?

The Labor party is the most aggressive on housing in a long long time. We'll look back in 10 years and be impressed by the graph of housing stock, but right now, of only the beginning of the up-tick, so feels insignificant

010

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

The UK has a first past the post system, right? Which doesn't help. If The UK Green party doesn't get up, there's no preference to show the next party to move the vote to is another progressive party (we have in Australia) If Reform get up, the UK is heading for hard times

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

I had a look at your website. Impressive Was looking around my area and was fascinated to see my old Church, Box Hill Baptist. I just assumed only Uniting Church's put in effort, pleasantly surprised to see religious folk giving support in a day when the general vibe is religious hostility

@sloanefragment.bsky.social I'm in Australia so Australia Labor is different to UK Labour. I'm listening to Gary Stevenson from Gary's Economics and find it shocking UK Labour are weak on addressing inequality I wonder strategically what can be done

I had to read "Who's Afraid of Gender" by Judith Butler to see it. Happy I read it

AGREE! It's just the US and their handshake where their hand wants to be on-top and other nations underneath. We say "yes yes" And nuclear energy is a trap. If we start recycling the waste, we become a nuclear weapons state with easy access to weapons grade plutonium.... for who? what end?

020

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

So, love @thejuicemedia.bsky.social - however with the constant calling Labor "shit lite", at least (read meme).... 👇👇 #auspol

Before the "anti-Semitism" comments, this commentary 1) accepts Israel as a nation among nations, and is about 2) influence in the context of ethnic cleansing on the Gaza strip The commentary is only and exclusively aimed at Bibi and his backers, and Trump and his backers

We need strong talkers who will use potty talk to emphasise the urgency, not a time for a little here and a little there Here's an example from Garry Stevenson of Garry's Economics in the UK, former Citi Bank youtube.com/shorts/8_Vgd...

Seen Gina's leaked Christmas speech?

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

His book is amazing Was 💬 to someone in the 🇺🇸 who worked for a major oil company. She heard years ago of Gina's interference with funding pro-coal ads. Her reaction.. "she smiled". Otherwise she talked kind of "yeah we need to sort this climate stuff out", billionaires don't want their cheese moved

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

If you want to know "why", read (or listen to the audiobook) of the book for the US market (same tactics in Australia) "The Republican Noise Machine"

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Garry's confessions during the GFC during his time with Citi Bank are out now. He made a lot of money for himself, fair credentials for a lens of the way the economy works

It's not just #auspol - actually, this guy from Garry's Economics is from the UK... the issues are the same, cost of living, the middle class being squeezed While it's not Australia specific, you need this as a lens around the election coming up and who represents who youtu.be/ITg2wrnt-VU?...

By the way, Box Hill is small compared to anywhere in Hong Kong. Even with the few high rise apartment buildings. The Metro in Hong Kong also departs every 4 minutes Dutton couldn't possibly have investment in the metro, that would be "socialist" or something

110

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Dutton is talking of doing away with diversity jobs in a move even the SMH are calling "Trump playbook", then off to Box Hill, as though it's all cool? It's like taking about doing away with minimum wage while drawing up in a fast food franchise uniform and flipping burgers for the cameras

I love that in my area of Melbourne in the East I'm totally getting none of this, except wind and stormy vibes

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

As long as you surround it with the language of winning, I guess. Also, Australia has a visa for people discriminated against due to gender or sexual orientation - could come in handy for a lot of people in the US

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Preferential voting instead of first post the post voting certainly helps also. A system where a first for Y and a 2nd preference for J will see the preference flow to J would Y not make it up

000

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

The UK Labour Party may be scared of not staying in power by aggressive change, but that doesn't mean they're not a party of choice If the public narrative shifts you can have a good Labor will make use and jump in. It's all about what is electable as progress is impossible from opposition

For those who think this is a little over exaggerated, just go watch Gina's Christmas Party speech, leaked on YouTube. She would love nothing more than to emulate what's happening in the US, herself getting a department like Elon has for the same reasons

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Anything and everything can be woke. In the 1990's it was "gay", which marginalised actual queer folk, but also was used for anything and everything someone thought was different and that they didn't understand, "oh, that's ______" My issue being media companies capitalising on it

140

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Also, some kind of separation of powers. Maybe a President as head of state and a Prime Minister as head of government With Preferential voting you might finally get a few more minor parties and independents also. The preference following removes the idea of "wasting your vote"

010

Dean Lewis @deenathy.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

From Australia, I would suggest compulsory and preferential voting. Being compulsory means people by law are required to vote, so disempowering isn't an option Preferential means you number all candidates and if number 1 doesn't get picked, your preference flows to your 2nd pick (and so on)

Progressive types seem more aware nowadays then early on It's a tricky one though. Focus on the class struggle and ignore the distraction left we "take the bait".... until the alt left ends up with an ethno-state because we didn't pay attention? Not easy
