20.01.2022 Was trying to find a moment to share, but the whole episode is genius.

12.01.2022 Im not going to share a link to the story, but just understand how stories like this come about. Earlier this week, polling put Liberal and Labor on equal foot...ing for the first time in months, it was clear Morrisons popularity was slipping, dissatisfaction with his performance rose by three points. This would have resulted in a strategy meeting and a phone call to News Corp. The result, a puff piece designed to distract voters from the aged care disasters and Morrisons inability to get all States on his hypothetical policy bus. Importantly, this story is one of the few the Daily Telegraph havent hidden behind a paywall, because it isnt news, its a political advertisement. The Coalition has given over $40million to News Corp since 2017 in the form of Government grants. If you wonder what the Coalition get back in return, youre looking at it.

11.01.2022 Gas for my masters!

10.01.2022 In ramping up the offensive against Palaszczuk on Thursday night, Morrison wondered aloud whether Australia was in danger of losing its humanity during this crisis. Setting aside the obvious irony of Morrison, the implacable stop the boats guy, now worrying out loud about whether border closures inflict indiscriminate cruelty on innocents, and demanding somebody take responsibility for inflicting that cruelty the prime minister is absolutely right. We should be worried abo...ut losing our humanity, but because history tells us crises like the one we are in can lead societies into very dark places. At the start of the pandemic, preserving our collective humanity really was the guiding force of policy making by Australian governments. That impulse set Australia apart from some countries we routinely compare ourselves against. But the big question of the current phase of the pandemic is this: does safeguarding our social capital remain the most important objective, or are we flagging in the fatigue of a pandemic without an endpoint? Lets just take just one example that Morrison has complete control over. If concern about losing our humanity was really the test for decision making, I very much doubt that we would be cutting income support at the end of this month for people who have next to no chance of finding a job until the economy picks up.

08.01.2022 Dont fucking ask someone R U OK Day if you are not prepared to hear "no." Do you have the capacity, the knowledge, the emotional breadth, empathy or tools to be able to help someone that isnt ok?

07.01.2022 *Jeff Goldblum voice* "Capitalism, uh, will find a way."

02.01.2022 Australia in January, America in September. This planet is burning.
