humans are not designed for the amount of feedback being a public figure on social media provides. Whether it's praise or criticism, receiving an avalanche of nonstop attention is profoundly corrosive to your brain.

The poverty rate is the highest it's been in 25 years. Yet Gina & Clive are hoarding billions while 1 in 3 big corporations pays no tax. This is no accident. Poverty is a policy choice, and it's a choice Labor and the Coalition continue to make. It doesn't have to be this way.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

"The right has shifted almost monolithically away from values once prized by both liberals and conservatives, like respect for institutions, evidence-based policymaking and the rule of law." @keanebernard.bsky.social on the death of liberalism under Dutton www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/19/p...
crikey.com.au
The mask is off: Dutton's Liberals are no party of liberalism
In a decade, the Liberals have gone from supporting the rights of bigots to wanting to deport them. What happened? It's not just Dutton.

1. I get served an unintentionally hilarious video on Instagram of someone claiming that giving birth with dolphins ensures there is no pain in childbirth and your kid will have a 150 IQ. 2. I google to see where this theory comes from. 3. I get served an AI answer with this amazing sentence.
Reasons why giving birth with dolphins is not recommended:
Safety concerns:
Dolphins are wild animals that can be unpredictable and dangerous.
Lack of medical expertise:
Dolphins do not have the medical knowledge or skills to assist with childbirth.

The long-rumoured fix is in. Rather than improve their policies to improve their falling popularity, Labor and the Coalition are agreeing on rigging the system to lock out their competitors.

Battery costs plunge, solar and wind undercut new coal and gas “in almost every market”
New BNEF report expects the cost of clean power technologies to fall by between 2-11% in 2025, breaking last year’s record and sending batteries below major benchmark.

How to be a critical thinker: 1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to those you disagree with 2. Find flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in views you dislike 3. Discount sources that peddle one narrative—and learn from those that explore competing ideas
