Adani owes Queenslanders millions in royalties from the Carmichael coalmine. Premier David Crisafulli let them off the hook in Aug 2025 by abandoning the court case initiated in 2023. Adani donated thousands to the LNP prior to the Qld election. #qldpol thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

I won an award at Sundance years ago and Sam Neill, whom I did not know, tweeted to me “we’re all so proud of you, sweetheart”. I can’t even express what that meant to me. That our most beloved national treasure, a man I worshipped, would take the time to write to me!

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”
CERN has to be real. Why do the days magically feel longer again? I keep looking at the clock in disbelief.Honestly... I can feel the immediate difference with CERN turning off. It's like turning off the annoying big light in the house that's been on for last 4 years. It's like finally getting some quiet after being immersed in a screaming heavy death metal concert or rave for days and days. It's like there's no restrictions. No hindrances. No more delays. I feel free.They turned off CERN and now the days feel twice as long. I'm TIREDCall me crazy, whatever ya whatever you want but since CERN shut down their machine time IS slower (i saw somewhere that our minutes are actually 60 seconds long again after being 45 seconds since COVID, ive had a mild frontal headache for 2 days and just had this weird energy around me. I can't be the only one, right?!

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Even when you fight back against the lies, that's just evidence of their truth. I mean, ffs
Headline and blurb for a Dennis Shanahan column in The Australian: Tax trap in valley of death
The desperation and vehemence of the denials and claims from the PM and Treasurer about scare campaigns are proof in themselves that the death tax debate is getting away from Labor.

Making slight changes to tax settings (especially half-assed tinkering by grandfathering things) is not going to resolve our housing crisis. The market will not adequately create or distribute the things we need to survive.

A lot of people in my professional circle are having a big cry about CGT. I have so many thoughts about it all, but the main one is: are you not embarrassed to respond to a change that makes our society theoretically more equitable with "wahhh, my imaginary millions"? Come on.
