Still astounded by folks who see what’s happening to Twitter through the prism of how it affects them, not the prism of how it will affect the US presidential election, climate policy, health policy, social decency. It’s like Facebook and Trump, Johnson, Morrison never happened.

Remember when Turnbull was afraid of Dutton so he made a special princedom called Duttonland and made Dutton Prince of Home Affairs, as weak kings have so often done before? And now the exiled Turnbull complains about the corrupt power he helped create, without a word of apology to us. #auspol
