Known for gettin' arrested on The Chaser and gettin' graphy on Planet America. Was hacked in early 2022, and lost everything. Haven't bothered since.

Every year I go to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and every year I see Andrew Portelli, and every year he is excellent, and every year he isn’t attracting anything like the crowds he should be. Quite frankly, it’s bullshit. So GO SEE HIM!!! https://t.co/TnWbEly5Vm

@HelpRodger You know what, Prof? We are 100% on the same page here! Go team! 🙌

@HelpRodger @elonmusk They could be the 40 smartest people on earth, but they’re still unelected. You think the bureaucrats they’re second-guessing don’t also contain brilliant, super-qualified individuals? Neither the bureaucrats nor DOGE have any constitutional authority. But Congress does.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@HelpRodger I agree with almost all of that, Prof. But what is DOGE other than another unelected bureaucracy? It should be the elected House and Senate making cuts, not random anonymous Musk-buddies. If DOGE put together a detailed list of potential cuts for Congress to act on,I’d love that!

@Unblackened Australian companies follow Australian laws regardless of ownership.

Also I’d need to see details, but on the surface the s230 reform sounds like a pretty clear cut infringement of the 1st Amendment. Private companies have the right to censor and can’t be punished for it.

@mana_kailani Hard to predict so early in the week, Kailani. No shortage of material this week, that’s for sure!

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@sam1pm Shit you may be right, sam! I can’t believe I didn’t see that! That’s as good a guess as any - you’ve convinced me!

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@AG6LE We can agree to disagree. But I don’t think there was any possessive there. I do however think he was only referring to hinchcliffe.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@JennyEjlak Yeah that’s fair. I did have a section that nailed their hypocrisy but I must admit we ran out of time and had to move on. That is my bad. I will definitely be going into that on PEP.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@HelpRodger Yup, I think we should ban all jokes. And appoint Mike Sperrazza to be our new Comedy Police. He can wear a Chief Wiggum costume.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@HelpRodger I don’t want to shatter your world, Prof. so I’ll try to be gentle. That was a cartoon. It was humorous, not an accurate representation of reality. I hope you were sitting down when you read this.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@NorelleFeehan I literally 1 minute before that segment emphasised what is a genuine concern - Trump openly threatening protesters with military action. But you’re upset that I didn’t make a big deal out of him acting a bit odd in a rally? I think you and I have different priorities, Norelle!

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@AndrewPHill8 Haha, I promise I will continue to see 3 hrs as the unofficial duration - which means I’ll probably keep going over but not by too much.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@HelpRodger It’s obviously bullshit. I’m not going to waste show time on it unless it becomes funny, which it is not yet. But I might go through some of the blatant red flags on PEP.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@hingehead 2/2: And I can believe starlink doesn’t meet top standards. But because of that decision the govt are paying potentially 80 times as much for fiber that won’t be connected for years. Seems sub-optimal to me. At least use starlink till the superior option exists to replace it!

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@hingehead 1/2: i don’t blame you, hinge. There is soooo much bullshit out there! To be clear, I have serious doubts about the starlink cancelling being illegal. That seems way over the top to me. The question to me is about the wisdom of the decision. It’s actually a complicated question.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@AndrewPHill8 Haha! That’s exactly what I was going for! Thanks for the reasonable criticism, Andrew. I’m liking your work!

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@AndrewPHill8 Also your logic is fine for a targeted tariff on one product or one small set of products which can be avoided. But his tariffs are broadly applied to all imports. It’s impossible to avoid all imports. So yes people will be paying for it. A lot.

[Chas Licciardello @chaslicc]

@Unblackened Honestly I don’t think you would think so. You probably made the right decision to stop watching. Not every show is for everyone. 👍
