FFS people! They haven’t “gone rogue”, they’ve been ALLOWED to go rogue by humans who are profiting from those rogue actions, and who can be arrested and incarcerated for their willful fucking negligence. Get a grip!

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

JobSeeker is confirmed as a causative factor in approximately 3,000 deaths/yr. People cannot survive abject poverty. There is no reason to kill people who we know due to inflation the RBA need unemployed. #auspol #RaiseTheRate @jimchalmers.bsky.social #PovertyKills podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/d...

“Better than anyone predicted” This is going to sound esoteric, but things *want* to be put right—nature, people, all of it. To restore true relationship and contingency. Think about how much sadistcally violent ongoing effort it takes to hold it/us all back. It’s not supposed to be this way.

Private health insurance is propped up by about $13 billion a year in taxpayer support, yet there is little evidence it takes pressure off public hospitals. Those billions would be better spent strengthening Medicare, John Menadue writes. #auspol #Medicare #Health

Private health insurance costs taxpayers $13 billion a year. What for?
Taxpayers spend about $13 billion a year supporting private health insurance, yet there is little evidence it relieves pressure on public hospitals or delivers fair value.

Anyway, a reminder. Fuel Tax Credits over the next 4 years will cost the Govt $47bn. The savings from the cuts to the NDIS is $38bn. Gillard in 2010: "Budgets are about choices, and you show what you value through the choices you make" Indeed.

This is, always has been, my absolute favourite. Ticks all the boxes for elegance, cultural history (featuring an Aboriginal Dot Painting AND the red white & blue of the 'original' flag, and geography. We don't need 5 colours nor tacky 'symbols' - this will quickly become recognised as 'Australia'.

Australians lose $32 billion on legal forms of gambling each year. That’s more per capita than anywhere else on the planet, and it’s young people, aged 18 to 24, most at risk. This is also the group most aggressively targeted by gambling ads.

After thinking about this question all weekend, I think my favorite candidate is the alchemical symbol for air: 🜁 It’s connotes both atmosphere and “transfer”. It’s a standard Unicode character. It references a capital “A.” And it’s very simple, which feels appropriate for a protocol, like 🌐 or 🛜.
