Australia is a country where if you win $500k on an 8 leg multi on SportsBet you won't have to pay any tax, but if you sell your business for $500k you'll have to give the government half. What are we incentivising here? How fucking retarded do you have to be to run your country this way?

If you’re an Aussie under 35 and reading this, the message is simple: the wealth building game you were promised doesn’t exist anymore. Property is gatekept. Shares and Crypto are taxed harder. Trust structures are punished. You either learn a new game or you spend your life paying for someone else’s.
Greeny@greenytrades

Government’s plan to help you build wealth in Australia: ❌ 50% CGT discount gone ❌ Negative gearing killed for new investors ❌ 30% minimum tax on capital gains ❌ Trust income hit with 30% floor Translation: the rules that built wealth for the last generation don’t apply to you anymore. Adapt or stay broke.

In January 1913, Douglas Mawson pulled off his boots in the Antarctic snow and the bottoms of his feet came off inside his socks. He greased the raw skin underneath and taped the dead soles back on. Then he kept walking. He was 100 miles from camp, alone, with a dead teammate behind him. Two months earlier, Mawson had set out from a small coastal hut with two men: Belgrave Ninnis, a 24-year-old British army officer, and Xavier Mertz, a 29-year-old Swiss ski champion. They were mapping coastline no one had ever seen. They got 311 miles in. On December 14, 1912, Ninnis was running beside a sled when a hidden crack in the ice opened under his feet and swallowed him whole. It took his sled, the tent, six of their strongest dogs, and almost all their food. Mawson and Mertz lay flat on the ice and shouted into the dark for four hours. Nothing came back. The two men had about ten days of food left for a 300-mile walk home. They started eating the dogs. They didn't know that one husky liver alone is enough to make a healthy adult violently sick. The two of them were swallowing more than a hundred times the safe daily limit. Within weeks, their hair was coming out in handfuls and their skin peeling off in sheets. On January 5, half-delirious, Mertz bit off the tip of his own frostbitten finger to prove it was alive. He died three days later after a string of seizures. Mawson buried him under snow blocks and walked on alone. He sawed his sled in half with a pocket knife to lighten it. A few days in, the soles of his feet peeled off inside his socks. He bandaged them back to the raw flesh, pulled on six pairs of wool socks, and started walking again. Days later, the snow gave way under him too. He dropped 14 feet down a crevasse and stopped only because his sled wedged in the ice above him. He climbed the rope hand over hand, slipped near the top, fell back into the dark, and climbed it again. He staggered into the base hut on February 8, 1913. His ship had sailed for Australia a few hours earlier. Six of his men had stayed behind on the chance he might still be alive. The first one to reach him couldn't tell who he was and asked, "Which one are you?" The ship couldn't get back through the winter ice. Mawson spent another ten months on the continent before going home. He was knighted in 1914 and lived to 76. Edmund Hillary, who first climbed Everest, called his walk the greatest survival story in polar history. Marcus Aurelius wrote that line in his Meditations. Mawson lived it seventeen hundred years later, on a continent no one in Aurelius's time even knew existed.
Reads with Ravi@readswithravi

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago: “If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining.”

Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the Twister motion picture release. I was the original technical consultant for the film and supplied the tornado image used for the poster and marketing. I put the money I made from the rights sale away, and ironically, 30 years later I’m finally using those funds to help pay for my PhD in documentary photography. It’s really weird how things progress in life. RIP to Bill Paxton, who was a genuinely nice person. #twister #movie @warnerbros #anniversary #Oklahoma

Billy Slater is reportedly considering one of the biggest Maroons shake-ups in recent Origin history following Tom Dearden’s injury. Potential debutants being discussed include Heilum Luki, Jojo Fifita, Cooper Bai, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, Ezra Mam, Max Plath, Jaxon Purdue and Sam Walker, while several incumbents are under pressure to keep their spots. Queensland could also be without Tom Dearden, Xavier Coates, Jeremiah Nanai and potentially Murray Taulagi for Origin I. (@codesportsau @badel_cmail ) Full link: codesports.com.au/nrl/major-maro…

@verynormalman I’ve only ever felt like that in Dubai. It was such a vile, desolate plan, built on slavery and endemic with prostitution, filled with hollowed out expats doing nothing but escape something nameless in their past, with no possible future. It was hell

Obsessed with this reddit post where everyone agrees some random town in Tasmania has a deeply sinister and malevolent vibe and nobody can figure out why
