Fine @albomp.bsky.social. You do you or more accurately your donors. Make hay & all that because we, the we who voted for a progressive govt with a Whitlamesque reform agenda, will vote you out at the first opportunity & vote in the kind of govt you promised us. You are a wasted opportunity #Auspol

#auspol Wow - trying to reduce annual tax payments by generating losses in an investment portfolio, and using those losses to offset tax payable sounds like a winner (NOT!). Those loss-making investments wouldn't also be owned by the managing fund by any chance? www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

World’s Biggest Hedge Fund Teaches the Wealthy How to Slash Taxes to Zero

Indeed. Just because these hospitals are ‘not for profit’ does not mean they don’t VALUE profit. Privately run public hospitals fall way short of their obligations while directors get bonuses for meeting KPIs. It’s HEALTHCARE ffs. #auspol #qldpol

My daughter came home from her primary school telling me that her friends told her that Donald Trump wasn’t that bad, that he had to bomb Iran so they wouldn’t get a nuclear bomb, EV’s are bad because they catch fire and Jacinta Allen was going to steal their families farms. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #auspol #vicpol

"What Makes Me a #Cult Expert? Dropping my Bonafides, my Credentials, my Lived Experiences" Knitting Cult Lady @knittingcultlady.bsky.social 5 Aug 2026 [0:05:43] https://s.cultpodcasts.com/Tvk-20bAeE2bdgOeiyHiXA

What Makes Me a Cult Expert? Dropping My Bonafides, My Credentials, My Lived Experiences

It is very easy to look up this information about me...but I'll drop my credentials anyway About Me: I'm Daniella Mestyanek Young, author, scholar of cults, extreme groups, and extremely bad leadership. These days, I'm also known as Knitting Cult Lady. I grew up in the Children of God cult (also known as the Family International, or COG-TFI), and served 2 tours of duty in the cult of the US army. I noticed that those two organizations had a lot in common and have been studying them and what we can learn about other cults-- and how to protect ourselves from coercive control and abusive situations. Those books are called, "Uncultured" (my memoir) and "The Culting of America" (my bad-guy tactics book). For those of you who have been through the cult experience (any kind of cult experience including 1:1 cults, or single family cults, or internet cults, or 12 step cults) I made a "Deconstruction Workbook" as a companion guide to help you find your way out of the rabbit hole.

A Brief History of Cults in America: Cults Thrive in Times of Turmoil, Hardship, and Disruption.

We have a long, sordid history with cults in America...all the way back to our founding. Cuts always show up during times of social turmoil because they offer clarity and community and a clear set of answers. About Me: I'm Daniella Mestyanek Young, author, scholar of cults, extreme groups, and extremely bad leadership. These days, I'm also known as Knitting Cult Lady.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
