One day left to get caught up on my Ambie-nominated, Jon Cryer-approved sci-fi thriller podcast GIVE ME AWAY (written by me) before tomorrow's gobsmacking two-part Season 3 finale! (Full info in next reply)
Bluesky post from Jon Cryer QT-ing an announcement that Give Me Away was nominated for a writing Ambie Award, and adding: "And my friend @macrogers.bsky.social's EXCELLENT sci-fi podcast Give Me Away snagged a nomination for his terrific writing. Funny, creepy, and genuinely mind-blowing. Way to go Mac!"

This from Kos Samaras, with whom I have often disagreed, is very well said: "Crises demand one thing above all else: national cohesion and calm authority. Protect people. Back the agencies. Target those who promote or plan violence, not peaceful communities. Speak like a leader, not a commentator"

For the record, I do find it disturbing that so many can see this perverse distortion of truth when the pile on is of a Labor Prime Minister, but not when it's on a whole group of oppressed brown people

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

“The political career of Scott Morrison was built on punching down at welfare recipients. Yet, in a bitter twist of irony, the architect of the pernicious Robodebt scheme was himself the beneficiary of a massive, secret overpayment when sacked as managing director of Tourism Australia in 2006.” 👇👇👇

“Tribunal pointing out official determination should’ve been based on salary & remaining term of appointment. Following the rules, payment “would have been less than $120k″—meaning Morrison walked away with up to $212k more than he was entitled. Conde immediately categorise… “highly unsatisfactory.”

Even the external barrister hired to do the internal review of a NSW GIPA (FoI) decision was told it didn't exist. But it did. It had been emailed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research, Prof. Kathryn McGrath, as requested. She said she discussed it with the VC. The VC signed the contract!

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.
