This is why I use FreeTube. It has one screen which shows latest videos from all subscribed channels. Unfortunately YouTube keep sabotaging their API, so it's been a little buggy of late. But when it works it's so much better than native YouTube. freetubeapp.io

In an ABC article today, Minister Malarndirri McCarthy said the following: 

"What we agreed to abolish was actually the cashless debit card, and that's what we took to the election, and that's the card we actually abolished," Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy said.

"There has always been the BasicsCard in place, we know that some forms of income management has to be there, usually through the courts, usually it's part of conditions for people either in family and domestic violence situations or in regards to legal circles."

Senator McCarthy said First Nations people had indicated at various points that they wanted to keep the BasicsCard.Senator Malarndirri McCarthy rightly called the BasicsCard "discriminatory and racist" when she condemned it during a senate debate in December 2020. She said: 

"The hurt was palpable. The anger has never gone away. That sense of deep oppression, of racism, has gone on for 13 years since that Intervention, in the policy of the BasicsCard. [The community] are very passionate about the fact that income management that is forced upon them is unfair, is discriminatory and racist. The BasicsCard was imposed as an income management measure under the Northern Territory Intervention in 2007. Twelve years later there has been no evidence to show any success of the BasicsCard."Labor’s shadow social services minister Linda Burney made the following commitment to welfare recipients during the 2022 election campaign. She said: 

"Our fundamental principle on the BasicsCard and the Cashless Debit Card, it should be on a voluntary basis. It’s not up to Labor or anyone else to tell them what to do. At the moment it’s compulsion and that’s not Labor’s position."

What if everything was a "table"? Sometimes a table is a (hopefully contiguous) numbered sequence of items, and sometimes it's a mapping of strings to items, and sometimes it's a fun mishmash of the two!

If it helps, the X is actually the Greek letter chi, which is the first letter of "Christ" when written in Greek. It's a perfectly Christian way to abbreviate Christ, and its use in "Xmas" dates back to the 15th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas

All of which is to say, the second atomic bomb was not dropped when it was for a "strategic" or "calculated" reason (because the Japanese had not surrendered after Hiroshima) — it was dropped for purely operational (weather) reasons. Truman himself had nothing to do with it.

"Employment services contracts have become a prized revenue-generating asset. Not only does Australia’s outsourced system fail to provide appropriate support to the unemployed, it actively diverts public funding to private profit." cictar.org/all-research...
Who benefits from outsourced
“employment services”?
Employment services contracts have become a prized revenue-generating asset. Not
only does Australia’s outsourced system fail to provide appropriate support to the
unemployed, it actively diverts public funding to private profit. The major beneficiaries
of the system set in motion by John Howard are private equity-controlled multinationals
and millionaires who have found a way to build their private empires around profit
extraction from government contracts.
The four case studies included in this report reveal that typical strategies for profit
extraction include accruing government contracts through acquisitions, and maximising
private profits through patterns of aggressive corporate behaviour. This includes
instances of artificially reducing taxable income, adding to the cost of this privatised
system through lost income tax revenue

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

Being barefacedly explicit about the fact that: - She and her cohort consider transition to be a negative outcome in and of itself - They conceptualise the purpose of "talk therapy" as discouraging patients from transitioning - Transness is considered as both 'disabling' and 'unnatural'
A quote from Dr Cass saying "It may be that if they were prescribed puberty blockers instead, that would give more time for the therapist to work with them and perhaps come to a different solution than a long-term life on medication."

Like, I genuinely feel like I’m going mad. Brianna Ghey wasn’t killed by social media. She was saved by social media, where she was able to find community with other young trans people. She was able to make online friends with people like herself. It was those offline who murdered her.

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts
