@mumbletwits And Menzies…?

#FridayFact Three Australian federal political leaders have presided over three national two-party-preferred vote wins in a row:- Billy Hughes (Nationalist): 1917, 1919 & 1922 Gough Whitlam (Labor): 1969, 1972 & 1974 Bob Hawke (Labor): 1983, 1984 & 1987. Three is the record.

@lenoretaylor Excellent appointment!

@JaneCaro Mastodon is looking good. More genuine engagement, fewer trolls…

I have loved social media. Yes I have suffered abuse, pile ons, nastiness & bullying, but I have gained much more than I lost. But Twitter is tanking & Threads is clunky and appears to have as many trolls - both left & right - as Twitter. Where is a woman with opinions to go?

There is only one way forwards for our country, or any country, and that is to try to do better. And to do better, we need to listen to what went wrong with the past.

@lenoretaylor Congratulations, Lenore, it's a real credit to you!

@alicecoomans @Garmin That’s pretty poor! I bought my Garmin watch from Amazon, got it within 24 hours… you’d think the original manufacturer could do better! #poorcustomerservice

May 2023 be last year in which #AustraliaDay is officially observed on 26 January. It destroys our nation for no valid reason.

Hard to think of anyone in the history of Australia who has made such a huge contribution to highlighting & explaining both good & bad health science to millions over 40 years than @normanswan And what a delightful guy too! This gong SO long overdue.

@AgnessMack @jonkudelka Agnes, you really should also credit the Saturday Paper, who pay for his work...

It's Saturday. Here's @jonkudelka

@rachelrwithers Did an overzealous admin suspend your mastodon account?

1/9 Well, this is is good-bye, at least for now. In which I walk away from Twitter: tbray.org/ongoing/When/2…

A thought.Wouldn’t Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry make a great political podcast team?

@ChrisMinnsMP Chris will you raise the dam?

In the US and here in Australia, RW politicians are using Christian fundamentalism to add "weight" to their calculated harm - deceiving millions they "speak for God". Their gospel cherry-picking is abhorrent. And totally cynical. Tax all mega-churches. Limit their expansionism.

@MargaretSimons I joined about a week ago and finding it very friendly to newbies, high or low profile ones. I think you're safe to unlock your account to followers. It's a bit rough around the edges, but promising.

Like I say, not jumping ship yet but have also set up here if anyone wishes to follow. Still working out how it works. @margaretsimons" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">aus.social/@margaretsimons
