@WacoKid15 @MFWitches @PressClubAust ACT is 1.8% of population. Who was cherry-picking?

@JaneEOpie @MFWitches @PressClubAust Well she is talking about the country

How the fuck do we live in a country where Pauline Hanson can publicly say “To abort a baby the day before birth is abhorrent and disgusting” and not one journo jumped up to remind her that abortion at 39 weeks aka the day before birth is … murder? #NewsCorpse @PressClubAust

@EddyJokovich Did they specify Cantonese, Mandarin etc? or just - not english??

Jane Norman repeated Hanson’s lie that 25% of Australians speak Arabic or Chinese. It’s actually just under 4%. #NPC

@WacoKid15 @MFWitches @PressClubAust just saying what happens in Victoria fkn:)

@JaneEOpie @MFWitches @PressClubAust Cherry picking. ACT is legal up to the day before birth. Fkn moron

@mikeysmith They are surprisingly wobbly and feel dodgy given our heritage. Coming from me an Australian - but nothing beats the British foot cruncher plug hey!

America, I love you dearly, but you need to sort your sockets out. Never once have I plugged something in in Britain and seen a spark.

@TerenceMcCart14 Crazy warm for this time of year!

A balmy 20c in Melbourne atm…

@DocPriyamMD Being a medical student??

• Wakes up feeling perfectly fine • Eyelids start to droop by the afternoon • Double vision kicks in while reading • Chewing dinner becomes completely exhausting • Symptoms magically improve after resting ​What is the diagnosis?

@drcwhos @PaulineHansonOz @OneNationAus @latingle @AmyRemeikis @michellegrattan @larissawaters Agree. I recall someone saying to me recently though - given our excellent medical schools - why can't Australia be a net exporter of quality doctors? Why are we importing Doctors from other parts of the world where they're also very needed?

Just which journalist will call this out for what it is Pure Racism The language of @PaulineHansonOz and @OneNationAus #Insiders @latingle @AmyRemeikis @michellegrattan @larissawaters As TheNew Australia welcomes our best and brightest from whatever background 7 out of 10 med students have parents born overseas

@omgsidewalks Nope. Where's the intellectual challenge and reward if your abilities can influence far beyond the family network

GIRL TO GIRL… be honest, If you could live on a little land, raise babies, bake bread, and love your man… would that be enough ??

@KellyGoodmanPhD @foldsproteinsII Prior to mRNA possibilities both hep b vax and hpv vax stand out

@foldsproteinsII 1. There are and will never be a vaccine for cancer. You can't vaccinate against something when you don't the catalyst and the variations of Cancer are too individualistic. 2. mRNA is inherently dangerous as a platform because of its mechanistic protocol inside cells.

Do anti vaxxers understand mRNA vaccines are so insanely amazing that we are coming up with VACCINES FOR CANCERS?

One of the most damaging ideas in modern risk communication is that hazard equals risk. IARC helped popularize this confusion. A hazard tells us what could cause harm. A risk tells us what is actually likely to cause harm at real-world exposure levels. Those are not the same thing. Yet for years, hazard classifications have been reported as if they were measures of real-world danger. The consequences have been enormous: • Public confusion. • Sensational headlines. • Multi-billion-dollar lawsuits. • Erosion of trust in regulatory science. And when everything looks dangerous, the public loses the ability to distinguish genuine risks from theoretical ones. Good science requires both hazard identification and risk assessment. Ignoring either one leads to bad decisions. The challenge is that only one of them tends to make headlines.

The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan. Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you. It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time. This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites. Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.

@ElizabethKamel @julerin8 Careful though re bootlegged cheap spirits:(

@julerin8 I’m not suggesting anyone make a brandy or a malt whiskey. But yes that’s exactly how I would make limoncello if I drank.

With the price of alcohol in this country why people just don’t make their own is beyond me. House parties and home made limoncello, you could make a bar cart full of home made liquor. I don’t drink but it makes me wonder why more people don’t brew is it because it’s unsafe?

The FDA just approved BEMT for sunscreens! That means sunscreen is about to get - More effective - Longer-lasting - Less absorptive - Better looking (no white cast!)
