@MeckeringBoy@AnodyneParadigm Coz the board is stacked with LNP cronies. The general staff are bullied into Fox-Style newspeak "balanced reporting" They are forced to provide 2 sides to a story even when the weight of facts doesnt merit more than one perspective. ie LNP trying to turn ABC into propaganda tool
@WriteLyn @cherrypieit @hoddo461 @profharbinger @Darthspoog Facts aint bullying. Nor is calling you out on your BS a violation of free speech. You are free to spout your ill informed baloney and we are free to tell you that you are full of shit. Welcome to the twitterverse...
@WriteLyn @hoddo461@Darthspoog Self respecting firefighters are packing **** because of climatechange. Fire season has started earlier (predicted by the fire authority report released 7months ago that ScoMo ignored coz it mentioned #climatechange) and has already burnt out 3 x as much bush as the 3 seasons b4.
@Paul_KeatingPM You still got it mate! Keep up that eloquent vitriol!! The solution is a non-conservative government. Expecting the LNP to understand and implement #mmt is like training a fish to ride a bicycle.
@clairegcoleman There are two sides to every story. In this story there are tens of thousands of peer reviewed scientific studies and on the other a small handful of ultra-rich industrialists with a big media budget and a dubious posse of ill-informed cognitive dissonants.
@MadamEarth I totally agree with that sentiment however in my experience the joy from somethings can be destroyed when reviewed with the cynicism gained from life experience and exposure to other literature.
@MadamEarth It might be best left as a great memory...
Sometimes re-reading/re-watching stuff that you loved as a kid makes you realize that your critical thinking wasnt as developed and that you just got sucked in by the swords and sorcery...or the love of the genre/characters.
@MadamEarth If I didnt have a teetering pile of books monopolising my bedside table I'd probably read it again...but so many books I haven't read and so little time! Having a friend who owns Urchin Books in Marrickville doesnt help!
@lynlinking It's hard not to see that cash-for-comment is still as ubiquitous in 2019 as when the the banks where bribing the shockjocks in the noughties.
@My_SimpleMind@my_mind_wars 'High-functioning' is a dangerous ableist term that dismisses the stress and inner turmoil associated with a range of nuerodiversity. It's a bit like saying that a greenstick fracture is not a broken bone because I can't see the broken bone piercing your flesh.
@WeTalkMH "I don't understand depression; It is something I have never experienced but if you want to talk to me about it I will try not to be judgemental."
@randlight Unlike tax cuts for the rich almost every cent of increased newstart will go back into the economy.
Despite their rhetoric #LNP suck at fiscal management and have no understanding of modern monetary theory. #mmt#LNPfail
