Pauline Hanson speaks in slogans because slogans are easier than thinking. Beneath the populist theatre lies the same old political craving, power.

Pauline Hanson lecturing Australia on sexuality again. Straight from the Trump culture war playbook: stir division, manufacture outrage, repeat. For someone who trolls for attention, she’s remarkably unoriginal.

Angus Taylor’s #BudgetReply performance , and his repeated evasion of Sarah Ferguson’s questions was a disaster for the LNP. At this rate, Labor to win a 100 seat landslide.

Angus Taylor on #Insiders all the swagger swapped for nervous tells. Voice, posture; he looks like a man who see the signs of the LNP'S Impending doom.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
i once worked with someone extremely wealthy and what stood out was their mindset and how they never complained about small inconveniences
their coffee order was wrong? they just drank it. flight delayed? they pulled out a book.
they had this quiet acceptance that some things simply aren’t worth the emotional energy while the rest of us stressed over what we couldn’t control, they had already shifted focus to what they could control.
it wasn’t really about money solving problems…
it was about having enough security that they didn’t feel the need to fight every battle... they could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.
Wars rarely unfold the way leaders expect
The Iran war is already displaying four strategic patterns that have appeared repeatedly across modern conflicts
These patterns explain why wars that begin with expectations of rapid success often spiral into something much bigger
Grez Hastie is such an intellectual lightweight.
The coalition keep swinging at air while Labor is landing one, two punches.
At this rate, 100 seats for Labor in the next election is in the bag.

My favorite relationship advice is to do whatever it takes to become more secure and positive-sum.
When you’re secure, you don’t let the fear of rejection hold you back from pursuing friendships and relationships, you’re be more attractive to the people you pursue, and you prevent a ton of negative/alienating interactions.
When you’re positive-sum (or “full of love”), you genuinely root for other people’s flourishing on their own terms, independent of what’s in it for you, and you act in ways to bring it about that work for you. Generosity enriches your spirit, making you more secure.
Security, or self-respect, is a by-product of *being* a person you’d respect. The red-pill advice often focuses on looks or wealth, but no amount of either can bring durable security if you’re not secure without them. Real confidence can only be earned by being proud of yourself (which is when those things are helpful—when they represent hard work you’re proud of, not when they’re a crutch). There are no short cuts. It’s simple, but hard.
When you’re secure and positive-sum, people trust and feel safe around you, which is what they want. You then become rich in a currency money can’t buy.
@jakestrading18 I like how our algorithms are different but are still intrinsically overlapped. You see it in the TA while I see it in the FA. Powerful in combination.
I'm still waiting for the next #WA1. It'll come and I'll be the first mover once again when the potential presents itself.
Investors buying into the $FAL gap up are acting precipitously and might get burnt for chasing the top.
I'm not sure the results justify today's exploration findings.
