My record collection is almost entirely records I bought at shows. I hope soon AI will go to the shows for me and talk to the bartenders and tell me who's playing drums on the new record and that they like the color of my eyes and I can maximize that time by lying in bed hooked up to a feeding tube.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Labor got a larger share of the vote in 2017 than when Starmer won. First Past The Post systems lead to weird results.

These people literally can't wrap their heads around the idea of mutual obligation in a shared society. All of us "never use" the majority of things our taxes pay for, other than that they pay for a functioning community which benefits all of us. Military spending on the other hand....

Noel Pearson’s voice has been deeply missed. His heart may have been broken since the VOICE, but his message is as vital, clear, & powerful as ever. I stand with First Nations Peoples, inspired by their enduring strength, grace & courage. 🖤💛❤️‍🩹 #auspol #firstnations www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I was so fired up I insisted on best of 3 and won the next 2. I thought, I can't be losing arm wrestles before he's even 14! So as far as I'm concerned I'm still the house champion.
