They're ready to watch other people who didn't cause the problems burn, with no apparent awareness that they will burn with us while the people who actually caused the problems profit off the violence.

Unsurprising. He can't have anyone protecting people from predatory billionaires. It will be interesting to see whether or not Albo caves to the pressure.

Will there still be pin numbers at least? Making body parts the ATM password in a world where poverty is on a steep incline sounds like a recipe for a very disturbing crime wave.

It would make sense to have specialist transport services, so it's not just a choice between being totally dependent on SIL providers and taxis that aren't equipped.

Supergirl was a totally fun movie and it was very satisfying to see a lady beat up a bunch of bad guys! See it and annoy an incel :)

I saw 'Supergirl' this week. A couple of minor issues for me but all in all I very much enjoyed it. All the hate directed at it is definitely rooted in misogyny. I recommend this movie.

The question is really whether or not the cult will follow him with the same blind faith. Worst case scenario, the faith that Trump has lost will transfer over to Vance as though he wasn't directly involved in everything that's already happened.

They're crying because she implied Supergirl might be bi-sexual. Heaven forbid a female lead character might not be exclusively attracted to men.

"So why are people acting like Supergirl is the worst movie ever made? (One critic even said it had the “worst script I can remember.”) There’s a simple answer: misogyny." Yes. I'd add that it's almost certainly coordinated misogyny, and someone is profiting from it. ew.com/supergirl-is...

'Supergirl' is a decent standalone movie — so why is everyone acting like it’s awful?
'Supergirl' has been in theaters for less than a week, and it seems everyone is quick to call it a failure after a disappointing opening weekend at the box office. But does it actually deserve the bac...

Welcome to the millennial experience of 2008. If memory serves, we destroyed the car industry, the diamond industry, the napkin industry and the birthrate. The think pieces were infuriating. I'd bet it's same wealthy boomer opinion writers rehashing the same think pieces now for a new demographic.

Feeling big #DisabilityRage today about the #NDIS. This needs to be more of a thing. Disabled people are expected to be quiet, grateful, polite, cute, inspiring, pitiful, invisible. Their funding cuts are trying to make us small. Let's get big. Let's rage.

While I don't like or agree with the ban, the idea that an American business might override decisions made by Australia's elected representatives RE how their service is distributed to children is highly disturbing.

I got knocked back because the report I had didn't address hypothetical, unspecified treatments the NDIA imagined I hadn't tried. I lost a GP because he decided he didn't want to deal with stupid questions from the NDIA anymore. Non-experts are already in charge of what supports people get.

Indexation doesn't = cost-of-living relief. This is posturing to appeal upper/middle-class people who don't depend on these payments or understand how they actually work. Don't use people in poverty to prop up your image when you are not actually doing anything to help them.

It's also making actual communication worse. If AI is being used to "simplify" something it invariably misses important details. People trying to save a buck using AI to translate their information instead of real people for plain language or Easy Read are creating a greater information divide.

The reason self-identified "incels" chose that term was precisely because they *want* a choice in the matter, i.e. control over the bodies of women who would rather not. That implication is not an accident, it's precisely what makes them reprehensible.

There's also no feminist ideology that takes issue with men being single. It's just not a thing.

Gnomes Chainey @gnomes-chainey.bsky.social · 02/08/2025
It's not a feminist term at all. It's literally a name that a group of men came up with to describe themselves. Feminists only started talking about incels as a problem after self-identified incels started going more public with manifestos and mass shootings.

Gnomes Chainey @gnomes-chainey.bsky.social · 02/08/2025
Men who are mad at women for not sleeping with them started a "we hate women" club and adopted the term "Incel" to describe themselves. It doesn't apply to every man struggling to get a date.

This! There's a whole industry of abled people telling abled people to hire more disabled people without actually having a real conversation about what inclusion looks like, and everyone just ticks off the "inclusion training" box on their KPIs and continues as they were. Funded by our tax dollars.

They listened to service providers and prioritised what the public would find palatable when making changes, rather than actually working with PWD. Colour me shocked it's not working.

Honestly, I need what the NDIS is supposed to provide: mobility scooter upkeep and support workers. I'm not on the NDIS because they decided I might hypothetically have been offered treatments that I hypothetically refused by doctors I haven't seen for over 15 years, and I had no way to disprove it.

But it's much harder to have a feel good event where everyone congratulates each other for being so good and charitable if there are actual disabled people in he room. Disabled people are so critical! They ruin the vibe.

Whether it's true or not is not the point. What's disturbing is his criteria for valuing human beings, and the focus on making people the same rather than supporting all people to thrive.

Mostly A. Same with workplace adjustments. There's genuine surprise when disabled people don't accept, or have to leave, a job because there's a deep down assumption that it was a preference, not an actual access issue.
