Fuckwit Whose Entire Salary Is Funded by Taxpayers Criticises Woman for Living in Government Housing — The Shovel
Yet another example of a right-wing-libertarian-anti-government-anti-welfare fuckwit not having the self awareness to realise that they themselves are ACTUALLY FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS.

"The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." - Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 Holly Farrell Paperbacks acrylic and oils on board 2022
🧵Early subscription libraries in Yorkshire emerged in the 18th century. These libraries allowed middle-class members to pool money to buy and preserve books. The most important example is The Leeds Library, founded in 1768 and the oldest surviving proprietary subscription
If you don’t occasionally treat yourself to a day of exploring used bookstores, greenhouses, libraries, cafés, and bakeries, then what’s the point of anything really?
#auspol Privacy is a hot topic at present. Anything we share on cloud services such as Google Drive etc, plus gmail, hotmail, etc. are being purloined for AI training. Here are some hints on how to take back some degree of privacy. Not easy but worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vrD...

We all know that our single biggest existential threat is Climate Change. A potential runner-up may be governments' push for rapid, unfettered uptake of AI. Anthropic recently blocked an attempt to use AI to create biological weapons. See also this article... www.bbc.com/news/article... #auspol
Anthropic researcher believes more than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans'
It is the latest in a series of increasing warnings about the safety threat posed by artificial intelligence.

Oh look apparently poverty is bad for you! Who knew? Shocking new report finds ‘profound’ death rate among Aussies on welfare payments 7news.com.au/news/shockin...
'Profound' increased death rate for Aussies on welfare payments

I'm so over rusted-on Labor voters. If you dare to criticise Albo's Govt for [insert appalling policy decision eg. cuts to the NDIS], they don't address THAT issue at all. They mention something positive Labor did FIFTY YEARS AGO under Whitlam! That's not the winning reply you think it is! 🙄 #auspol
There is a reason why this is such an appealing idea. Many of us were shaped by watching our parents and others, and decided we didn't want to be like them.
Bringing down the cost of housing and renting would help a lot to lower the cost of living. The government needs to build more good quality public housing. Hanson's plan to allow use of superannuation to buy a house will do nothing but push up house prices. It will be wasted.
In Australia, that side is NOT One Nation, the Liberals, the Nationals or Labor. It's the @greens.org.au and the Independents. Vote for candidates that want the best for all people, not just for their party donors. #auspol
