@TheSalonDon Not saying there isn’t a problem but ‘not a single one on Earth’ is a bit of an American exaggeration.

@NoelWhittaker Is this not the point? To shift more tax burden on to do-nothing Australians who hoard wealth?

I'm running numbers on family trusts. If the trust owned by mum, dad, and 19-year-old daughter earns $180,000 a year and they distribute $60,000 to each the tax will be three times $9,000 = $27000. At 30% flat, it's $54,000. That's double - The only way out is to change distributions to wages, but they must be able to justify the wage. It's a shameful attack on business

@jimstewartson "Don't you find it odd that he tripled his home insurance right before his house burned down?" "That's not odd, in fact it happens all the time!"

The fact that there are no guardrails in this area because the Death Star was designed by Geonosians that could just fly away in case of an emergency is honestly such a great detail.

@TSoS_ It’s not unheard of, if your car breaks and you really liked that model, to buy the same car again.

The Sietch of Sci-Fi |
It's incredible how nothing in the story of this character has ever mattered. Every single obstacle he overcame, every thing he lost ... Nothing matters! The child he had to let go in the show's must emotional moment came back between seasons. The droid who died to protect him and Grogu, changing his worldview in the process, was easily rebuilt. Now, The Razor Crest is back as well; not in a thematically resonant way but for toy-sales and nostalgia. The worst thing a franchise can create is apathy and it's truly sad to see a story that had started with two incredibly promising seasons go further and further down the drain.

An MIT writing professor on his students using AI: "I realized that for the first time as a writing professor, I had to deal with students producing words without work, which wasn’t quite plagiarism and wasn’t quite paying for someone else to do the job, but it felt like a kind of naive chicanery; a perversion of the contract between writer and reader." theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

For those of you wondering about Australian “defence” strategy and its underlying rationale, this will help. It’s 👇🏽 officially a comedy series though many have remarked that at times it’s closer to being a documentary.

@_alialkhatib Yeah Rick and Morty had a lame 'Elon Tusk' gag- Dan Harmon said he met Elon and was starstruck by him, this was sort of just as everyone started to sour on him.

@SirSnipeyy You don’t need to watch anything else to understand S2, c’mon. Ashoka works perfectly well in that standalone episode without additional information.

I do not want a walkable city. I do not want trains. I do not want busses. I want a car that can take me anywhere I want at any time. I don't want to be dependent on transit schedules. I want to choose who I'm traveling with, rather than going for luck of the draw. I want to be able to control my own climate while traveling. I want to be guaranteed a comfortable seat. I want somewhere to keep my things during a day out instead of having to carry everything with me. I want to buy and take home loads of groceries too big to carry without having to trouble myself with delivery services. I want to go through drive thrus. I want to be halfway home from work and impulsively decide to go to a restaurant on the other side of town and just change direction immediately. I want to drive around a new city to take in more than I could on foot or on a fixed route. I want to do road trips where we make up our journey as we go. I want to explore my own city at will without any particular plan. I want to visit small towns out of reach of even the most expansive proposed public transit systems. Essentially, I want freedom.

This is where I feel like we're retroactively reimagining the past a little bit. Entirely possible that Meghan had very little TV time, but a *lot* of kids of our generation were raised in homes where at least one TV was on any time someone was awake and at home!
Meghan Murphy@MeghanEMurphy

Ok but we were all raised without “screen time,” so we know it’s possible. I was barely allowed to watch TV. I mean what did parents do for all of history, prior to smartphones?

@ChrisBarnes3D Oh yeah the guy whose mortgage you’re paying as a renter is bound to pay more for it than he takes from you. That just math. Landlords are nice like that, they take the hit for their renters.

everyone loves to point out renting is "just dead money" until you point out they'll spend £240k in mortgage interest over 30 years
