@farmerfox_1 @Loytra123 @EuanRitchie1 Yep. My expectations were low and yet the ALP government has exceeded them. We need an increase in the number of progressive Independents and Greens to " keep the bastards honest".

@Loytra123 @EuanRitchie1 I didn’t expect much and I’m still more disappointed in them than I thought possible.

What a massive, massive disappointment Albo and Labor are. Truly.

@HossaiGul @AIHI_MQ @Macquarie_Uni @adamgdunn @markfrommacq I rarely visit this sm platform nowadays so have only just seen your lovely shout out @HossaiGul . You know, the feeling is mutual. Very grateful to have met you and I enjoyed our collaborations, so very much. You are an inspiring person. Congratulations once again, Dr. Gul 👏

CNN posts “obituary” for Twitter: “Twitter, the text-based social media platform that played an outsized role on society by serving as a digital town square, was killed by its unhinged owner Elon Musk on Sunday. It was 17 years old.   A zombie Twitter, known only as X, reluctantly endures. A warped and disfigured platform, X marches on like a White Walker, an ugly shell of its former self under the command of a loathsome leader.   Whereas Twitter was once a fountain of authoritative information, X is a platform where trolls can pay a small fee to have their ugly content boosted ahead of reputable sources.   X is a platform where identity verification no longer exists and impersonation is only a paid subscription away.”

@YouAreLobbyLud It's them

So many senior people keep trotting this out that I have to keep asking myself every time if I'm mad or they are.

Hang on. If the 11 year old died of Flu B because they hadn't been exposed to Flu B in the last three years, why wouldn't they have died of it if they had been exposed to it three years ago? I am genuinely struggling here. Help me.

@Gekko_au Huh?! That stuns me. I would understand if you had travelled to remote parts of Australia in the wet season and chose to swim in croc or Irukandji infested waters

@SharnelleVella @simo_geno I swapped from a kindle because 1. I couldn't borrow books from my library and 2. I didn't want to support Bezos' company. I changed to Kobo and borrow ebooks from my library regularly. Very happy with my choice.

@simo_geno Yes! I love my local library and I still borrow books!

Help. Kindle - do I want one? Did you buy one and never use it? Did you get one and think you should’ve done it earlier? I read a book a week..

NEW SIGNAL GROUP FOR AUSTRALIAN DOCTORS CONCERNED ABOUT COVID We need to work together. Reply here or DM me if you want to join. If no-one knows you, you'll have to give your AHPRA number.

@2three2 @CBadcock @samanthamaiden @JoshButler It's appalling yet sadly, unsurprising that there are no consequences for the egregious behaviour of politicians. Even worse when they then boast about this very lack of consequences. Shame on them

If a guy said this to me I would literally ask him if needed to see a psychiatrist. Are men ok?

Great article by @myriamrobin exposing the Pharmacy Guild's tactics in arguing against extended prescribing. If pharmacies are only sustainable because consumers are forced to make unnecessary trips to get their meds it's time to change the funding model. afr.com/rear-window/ph…

If nothing changes for the worse (eg, radical new VOC), the human toll over the next few months will likely be thousands of deaths more than we would have without C0VID, tens of thousands of seriously ill people & a chronic disease burden in the tens to hundreds of thousands. 4/

8,145. That's the number of parents – mostly single mums – who will be forced onto JobSeeker before Parenting Payment Single eligibility increases from 8 to 14 in September.

I had way too much fun making this! A really extraordinary history when taking a step back and thinking about it

It really is time Australians registered their offence & complained directly to the GG about this self-indulgent nonsense. Please fill in this form on the GG's page to register your complaint about this abuse of the Gov General's position (& retweet). 👉🏽gg.gov.au/office-officia…

@jjjove @jonkudelka Same here. It was a bit of a culture shock and a massive change, as an almost 18 y.o., coming from a country town. Majored in printmaking and loved it ... would do it again in a heartbeat

@jonkudelka I went to art school in the 1980’s. The free art stuff was great. Trying to read French postmodern essays was not. It was like trying to digest a meal of cardboard and glue

Car conversation yesterday: "Do you think I should go to art school?" "Can you say 'liminal space' with a straight face?" "What does that mean?" "It doesn't matter." actually I expect art school would be a lot of fun

@MerriamWebster Did you bookmark, bookmark?

Twitter told us all bookmarks have to be public now so here you go

@TonyHWindsor Since it was reported how PWC profited from breaching a confidentiality agreement, l've wondered why charges weren't laid? If there's no penalty for breaching confidentiality agreements with the Commonwealth, why bother having them?

Former Deputy Federal Liberal leader and former Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, Fred Chaney, says Peter Dutton's decision to oppose the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is sad and pathetic. #auspol abc.net.au/radio/programs…
