@magataotao No government appointed Behaviour Change Minister for this lot.

Date: April 2, 2026 Location: A shopping mall in Melbourne, Australia Around fifty African-descended teenagers stormed into stores, smashing and looting everything. When the police arrived, they didn’t arrest a single one. This is Melbourne — the city that was just ranked number 1 in the world’s most livable city. So, what do you all think about Australia mixing in African multiculturalism? And what do you think of the Labor government you voted for and how they’re managing things?

@AvidCommentator They’re selling PR and citizenship.

Its always been strange to me how much of the Australian international student industry has been built on a delusion. The idea that a Diploma of Hospitality from the Bonnie Doon Institute of TAFE is somehow worth tens of thousands of dollars to people from the developing world and that somehow this is going to be this huge boost for their careers when they get back home. It's really not that special and the fact that policymakers collectively persist in the idea that it is, is really something.

@Sanchyoloye @GlobeEyeNews What does “or get approval” mean?

The claim is misleading. It does NOT mean men can’t leave Germany. What it actually suggests is more like this,If you’re a man between 17 and 45 and you want to stay outside the country for a long time (over 3 months), you may need to inform or get approval from authorities.” So: ✅ You can still travel normally ❌ It’s not a ban or lockdown ⚠️ It’s more like paperwork for long stays People are exaggerating it. It’s closer to “tell the government if you’ll be gone long” not “you’re not allowed to leave.”

BREAKING: All young men between the ages of 17 and 45 are now no longer allowed to leave Germany for more than three months without permission.

@DennyGo8 @Moonlight_myths Try $150/week before disparaging their calculations.

@Moonlight_myths It’s no wonder you’re still at home. $60x4 weeks is $240 NOT $600. Stay home and get an education

My mom got mad when I told her I would rather live on my own that keep paying her $600 a month in rent. I'm 25 years old and have been paying $60 a week in rent to my parents for a while now. I recently landed a decent paying job and this morning, I received a message from my mom telling me that from now on, the rent would be $150 per week. I text her back, saying I would rather live elsewhere. I pay for my own food and I'm not willing to pay $150 per week just for a room to sleep in at my own mothers house. With that kind if money, I could rent a small apartment or even split the rent with a friend for less.

@fandompulse You can only dislike [product] for approved reasons. There are no approved reasons.

Starfleet Academy star Kerrice Brooks urges fans not to hate the show because of DEI: “If it’s not nice, like, let’s just talk about it. Don’t just say, like, I hate it because it’s DEI. Tell me you hate it because of something else, and then we can have a conversation.” Is DEI a valid reason to hate Starfleet Academy?

@Hiddenwallet @luismbat Ever been in an airplane or boat?

@luismbat We are not designed by God to be interplanetary. It’s not going to happen.

In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth. That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon. Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites. Visible to the naked eye. Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory. A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation. That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Moon landing? You’ve admitted you have no idea what you re talking about, you spiteful hack.

I just went through Elon Musk's page. No word on the Artemis II crew's Moon landing or their beautiful Earth shots. If this was done by SpaceX, he would have been talking about it nonstop. The guy is petty. Come on, celebrate a good thing even if it not done by your company.

@benryanwriter Honestly, who is surprised?

Queer editor James Ball declares Bluesky a “dying social network,” blaming aggressive censoriousness by Blueskyites of perceived ideological enemies: “There's a large cadre that basically cheers on chasing off any lib/centrist/academic who's the punchbag of the day. There's a culture of saying ‘fuck off back to X, then.’ And the anti- bedtime leftists set too much of the culture. “I don't know if it's fixable, especially as I think quite a lot of the people here don't *want* to fix it. But at the rate users are quitting they'll run out of targets soon enough, and the rest of us will lose what is – for a fair few of us I suspect – the last fun/useful social network. Sigh.”

@ChrisLloydTV @Keir_Starmer This claim is up there with “just shoot the gun out of their hand” nonsense.

A surgeon at my gym took early retirement to go to Palestine & operate on 150+ kids. He’s a maxillofacial specialist & said he’s never seen cruelty like it; the IDF’s ‘game’ is to try & shoot children in the head without killing them. Why won’t you denounce them @Keir_Starmer?

@OpheliaBenson The crybully seems like a well adjusted, level headed type. What a pity they missed out on gaining power in office.

So...he's complaining that the Times reported something he did in fact say, in public, on camera, loudly and with unattractive glee. If he didn't want it reported why did he say it?

@JamesMelville He could open a learing center.

Trump wants a $1.5 trillion military budget. Meanwhile, 35 million people live in poverty in the U.S.

@CalvinBart69984 @craigkellyAFEE Gibberish. Have a Bex and a lie down, Bill.

@craigkellyAFEE RIGHTIES sold two of our most strategically important Ports to China while RIGHTIES waged culture wars on Trans people RIGHTUIES have yused STUPID people to get away wqith constitutional CRIMINALITY and you want to defend that?>? by blaming ALP for what?

Remember when he said "The Voice" would be an undemocratic "third chamber" of parliament - and the leftists said this claim was "disinformation" ? Well here we are. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

@wil_da_beast630 @ferupity That wasn’t the question.

@ferupity But, where would you travel, young gun?

I’m taking D all day every day

@ferupity It’s not even close.

@RKelanic This is a deviation from your initial claim and is still a desperate reach.

If this bridge was a crucial military target, they’d have bombed it on day 3, not day 33, of this war. There’s already ample reporting that U.S. & Israel have run out of genuine military targets. They’re now moving to civilian targets to force Iran to surrender. It won’t work. Same thing with Trump’s threats against Iran’s electric grid. This is US/Israel desperation to force a decision without ground troops. Instead of escalating, the U.S. should stop fighting a losing war.

What could possibly be the military rationale for this. There isn’t one.

@BrandonStraka Oh well.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns the organization faces collapse without continued U.S. funding, which contributes roughly $2.2 billion to its core budget. "the United Nations is on the brink of total collapse"

@DrewPavlou Most baristas get my name wrong. As do Indian staff at Nandos. I never felt the need to cry about it.

New article in The Guardian - this lady moved back to her ancestral homeland to own the right

@AI_EmeraldApple @AF632

At first, I couldn't fucking believe this was a real article. So I had to look it up... and it's real. This is some deranged, evil nonsense, man... no amount of ideological spin turns a sexual assault into some noble "assimilation tool". This is just morally bankrupt. Then they use a linguistic sleight-of-hand to dress up sexual assault as some quirky "cultural misunderstanding"... Fucking disgusting. Anything "quasi" = not consensual = sexual assault... no such thing as a "kinda raped" category that magically fixes racism. 🤡

@realMaalouf They face regulation and restrictions in Islamic ME nations so…

CANADA: Muslims were constantly gathering to ‘pray’ in front of churches in Montreal. Now, the Quebec government has officially banned street prayers, considering them an act of provocation. Do you agree?

@karentraviss They are legion.

Anyone been following the various threads on people who can't handle first person POV in books because it's not them? (In other words, they don't get that they're hearing someone telling them their story, or they understand in theory but can't separate themselves from "I" in practice.) Most folks are saying it's a literacy issue, i.e. lack of exposure to narrative fiction, but I wonder if it might be a more fundamental issue in early childhood. I haven't found any specific research on it yet but if you're aware of anything, let me know.
