Shhhh no thoughts just gorilla. Aussie from Queensland. Wants AI to do laundry instead of art. Appreciates tech, Tesla _cars_, space tech, cats and Canadians. Hates that the USA has abandoned the world to the Chinese Communist Party’s tender mercy.

National mandatory voting and automatic voting roll registration at 18. Minor fines for non-voting that are actually issued. Works beautifully in Australia – we all actively participate in our democracy and the fuckers can’t get away with too much

It’s unbelievable how fucked up and unequal the USA tax system is. Aussies pay a flat 2% Medicare levy to support our health system, uncapped - no matter the income. And our employers pay a mandatory 12% into our own superannuation accounts that no bastard can touch. It ain’t hard.

The microbes have become smarter y'all 😱 The president of the United States and the stupidest person in the world really should be two different people.
Q: Have you heard about the plague outbreak? What is your level of concern?

Trump: That's a disease you used to be able to control. But somehow the microbes have become smarter and smarter. Like an army, the germs. We just heard about it

There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵
