I'm convinced now more than ever that the fall of Star Wars fandom and the rise of Tumpism are connected. We don't teach critical thinking skills in this country and it has created a loud minority of morons.

I just started a team for the Sydney MS Walk on May 26th 2024. 
This has been on my list since I got diagnosed and was walking with a walking frame and a cane.
I’ll be doing the 10km walk starting at 10.30am

Before covid, I didn't follow politics.

I would have been an easy target for the No campaign because I trusted media and didn't question information.

Like many Covid-era Victorians, my journey in recent years has left me acutely aware of how dishonest and deceptive right-wing campaigns and media are. But I can recall in my 20s, and this is embarrassing to admit, I believed Clive Palmer should be PM, and I hated Julia Gillard's carbon tax (that didn't exist). I didn't know why I hated it, just that I should.

My point is, be careful not to rush to blame the people for this referendum result, or at least don't assume the worst about racism or intelligence — many No voters are good people trusting bad sources.

Blame the sources. The No campaign made masterful use of deceptive and manipulative misinformation — and they had extraordinary one-sided support from most major media outlets.

Add in the sophisticated targeting tech and top-dollar US marketing firms used by the No campaign, and it becomes clear that most politically disengaged folks were easy targets.

Hey @taylorswift13 - it’s awesome you’re bringing your #ErasTour down under next year. But how about shaking off your partnership with Crown Casino? Did you know Aussies are suffering a gambling harm epidemic, and that Crown have committed egregious gambling regulation breaches?

Funny how I can manage a massive todo list of errands, build and repair devices and electronics, successfully manage a budget, and juggle complex interpersonal relationships IN ZELDA but not in real life.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has officially been INDICTED by a Manhattan grand jury on criminal charges relating to his illegal hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels.

Trump is the FIRST president in U.S. history to be indicted. He’ll soon be booked, fingerprinted and have his mug shot taken when he’s processed by law enforcement.

Trump is an absolute DISGRACE to our country.

The poker machine experience in pubs and clubs has been engineered to wreak havoc on people long enough, and it’s time to take action.📢Make a stand and join the movement for #gamblingreform in NSW: https://t.co/BmMqO7M5a7📢 #PokiesYoureBeingPlayed #PutPokiesInTheirPlace #nswpol

I’m NOT anti-gambling. It’s not my jam, but I get that Aussies like a punt.

What I am IS anti-gambling harm.

I’m for sensible, proportionate and effective reform that reduces the misery caused by an exploitative, greedy and addiction-dependent industry.

This is it, @JamesGunn. I feel it.

Ego, the Dark Star that gave Meredith Quill cancer, can be seen next to Meredith Quill in Star-Lord's vision in #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Vol. 1.

Dark Stars are glowing space gas clouds.

Happy for arguments for/against and discussions around details.
