@Matt_Pinner Ludwig - something different and so well done. British series starring the cleverly funny David Mitchell from Would I Lie to You. It's part drama, mystery, whodunit with a touch of quirky humour. I watched it on Australia's Channel 7 so depends where you are.

@OldSchoolTieSir @Peter_Fitz @philmupp1 Ditzy is too mild a word for them.

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

@KosSamaras It's insulting to describe protests against genocide and warfare that breaks international law as "performance art"! People feel powerless but want to raise awareness, & join with others to protest actions they feel are immoral & destructive of society. And they must! #Iran #Gaza

@drkerrynphelps It wasn't a flotilla, but it WAS kidnapping. There is no basis in international law to seize the Madleen passengers against their will. They came in peace with humanitarian supplies, and had no weapons. They've been detained because their intent did not align with genocide.

@Peter_Fitz Chose Sussan, she'll attract lots of laughs.

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

@basque_pierre @Peter_Fitz No thanks. Hes a union basher.

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

Yes! The bias & factually inaccurate content from the Multi-millionaire and Billionaire owned media is massive, and Dutton is upset because there are some forms of media he can't control. Here's to the popular influencers with a social conscience! #AbbieChatfield #CheekMedia

@JoshButler @Henry_Belot The Liberal Party has multiple newspapers across the country and a tv channel dedicated to advancing their campaign. Should they be authorising their content too? It’s literally propaganda.

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

That was quick - Electoral Commission clears Abbie Chatfield after Liberal complaints over whether her interviews with Albanese, Bandt required authorisation

I would prefer the government of the day run a budget deficit with low unemployment than have a budget surplus with high unemployment.
Shame on those who think differently.

@Cobra1A @MFWitches She's actually nasty.

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

@PollyWi92611992 @MFWitches Totally. It's got worse in the last 2-3 yrs. The parent company got the idea that the low ratings were because it was "too woke"! Yet the ppl leaving it in droves were progressive. It's now rubbish. Georgie Tunny is great but the RW brigade rule.🙈 @theprojecttv @ParamountPlusAU

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

@mez_spy @MFWitches She hides it well but if you watch enough you can see it. The fake expression of empathy re social justice type violations, laced with subtle comments that really mean the issue isn't important, or worse - a hint of victim blaming. @SarahHarris @ParamountPlusAU @theprojecttv

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

@Believe45701354 @MsGrumpyPants @hughriminton It's about the misogyny. He referred to women as bitches at one point. And what he did to his sister.

As much as I love that the #Matildas have become the Nation's favourite team, I almost wish it hadn't happened. There are so many arseholes jumping on them at the slightest stumble and that never happened in all the years before they took off in popularity. You can all piss off.

[Leah 🍑💙 @schmizo]

Whatever happens next - @AlannaKennedy played hard tonight and should be damn proud of herself. She was hard on herself at the end, but she’s a legend in my eyes. #Matildas #TilitsDone

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as billionaire Mark Cuban and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman join forces and unite over 100 venture capitalists to back Kamala Harris for president.

And it gets even better...

"We spend our days looking for, investing in and supporting entrepreneurs who are building the future," reads the "VCs for Kamala" website. "We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress."

"We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation," the site goes on. "We believe that strong, trustworthy institutions are a feature, not a bug, and that our industry — and every other industry — would collapse without them."

"That is what’s at stake in this election. Everything else, we can solve through constructive dialogue with political leaders and institutions willing to talk to us. In this pivotal moment, we are united in our support for Vice President Kamala Harris," it reads.

The announcement is a powerful rebuke to far-right Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk who have thrown their support behind Donald Trump's fascist movement in the hopes of more tax cuts.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Mark Cuban and his allies for supporting Kamala — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

@OccupyDemocrats Fantastic news! Thank you for organizing this, @mcuban!

And thank you for speaking up for the vast majority of business owners & workers who understand that our 240 year old democracy is a much better system of government than Trump's Putin-styled dictatorial kleptocracy!

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

A brilliant and accurate article from @RonniSalt. I agree with her commentary on the disgraceful ABC, but sadly, also with her views on @AlboMP. I'm deeply disappointed in him on so many fronts. #Albo for all our sakes - big changes are needed! https://t.co/MaDiO5TyeB

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

I wish this whole issue would go away, but so much is unresolved. This is a significant report I missed. On another night, Lehrmann attempted to control Higgins - so concerned was a fellow staffer they resigned the next day. Def a sign of things to come. #Higgins #Lehrmann

[Progressive Nation @One_Kind_Day]

Agreed. ��

[Lisa MVR @LissettaV]

One of the saddest things I've seen on the internet. 🥺😢
