It’s one thing for a society to deliberately create unemployment, but when that society constantly insults the unemployed and compels them to live in poor quality and often dangerous housing and starves them of funds so they are excluded from normal life, that’s no longer a society.
The Reserve Bank wants more unemployment. It should be applauded for admitting it - ABC News
Crass Americans with too much money are moneywanking in front of a scientist, assuming that their impressive money will convince him to perform in a debate with barbarians. They believe that everyone else must love their big swinging money as much as they do, because it’s so big and money, they can’t understand that the scientist may have other motivations.
Why can’t they just send unsolicited dick pics like normal men?
Long covid brain fog is a real thing. I find myself accidentally typing their instead of there, not something I’d usually do, quite often. I wander between tenses and can’t find words, all stuff that mostly comes naturally to me.
Outside an aged care home today another visitor asked me to show them how to take a rapid covid test. There was much hrrumphing and sighing. Finally done, I told them they had to wait 15 minutes before they could enter the home where all the frail and vulnerable people live.
They waited 2 minutes, once I looked away they were on the intercom saying they’d completed their test.
What an arsehole.
A clergyman did the same soon after.
Personal responsibility is going very well, isn’t it?

It’s hard to understand, because they’re visiting someone too. I think they don’t believe covid is a real problem. If they listen to our politicians I can understand why they think that.
One of my favourite things on Twitter was #EverydayPlaces, photographs of beauty in the normal stuff that’s around us and mostly goes unnoticed. People got it and shared brilliant shots of fences and grass and seagulls and hazy views, stuff they see every day and took a moment to appreciate.

Not really a great call. I’m legally blind, the app I mainly use doesn’t do some stuff on large text, the other app I use to add descriptions wasn’t working when I posted this, so the judgement isn’t helpful. Accessibility.

I’m sure many will subscribe to the theory of the religion they grew up in, but we can all interpret the signs of deities however we like, there are clearly no rules.
The term side hustle is another bullshit American con designed to pretend people aren’t just working extra hours to pay the bills. In Australia we once celebrated the eight hour day and the forty hour week, now we’re supposed to cheer on eight hours and some extra hours.
