Jason Scott@textfiles.com · last mo.OK, let's start the search. Adrienne Shaw is on the lookout for two titles of early LGBTQ software that predate Caper in the Castro. One is called VAPOR PALACE. The other features Tom of Finland art but has no discovered name yet. The search is on - if you know more details or... have a copy? ping.

Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.
I can't wait to die, hopefully horribly. That way, people will finally say really nice things about me. I'll be rolling my eyes as I burn, but inside there'll be a warm glow that isn't caused by the brimstone and fires.
Asking for quite a few folx. Is it a crime in any countries to write "journalist" on your tax returns if you work for, say, the NYT, WaPo, Murdoch in general?
Starting to appear as if the rules of evidence in a court, or commission, just don't apply to sad stories told by Zionists. True or not, those stories are not being tested, none are providing evidence and considering the terms of the Commission, I'm not sure they should be allowed to testify at all
If Trump gets so bad he literally starts smearing shit around, will we see Republicans admiring his artistic drive and creativity?
@albomp.bsky.social wouldn't it be nice if Australia got some of these oil company record profits? and don't be a literal prick about is

Latest Australian fossil fuel industry ad: We didn't want to hit you, but you made us do it. The condescension in the ad is extraordinary; how dare the peons trouble their masters?
The Year is 2069... Due to NHS cuts, trans healthcare has become increasingly hard to access. The waiting list ... is now 300 years. They ...simply add you to the end of the list and wait for you to die. But they are fools. For you have learned the secrets of immortality....

Public schools are falling further behind as private schools gain a growing funding advantage. The result is deeper inequality – and long-term consequences for students and the economy, Trevor Cobbold writes. #auspol #education #schools #inequality
Underfunded public schools, overfunded private ones – the gap grows

Why does anyone argue that taxing billionaires or millionaires is like stealing from them? Or argue against directly stealing from them? Name one billionaire that spent even a second considering whether to steal from you; they spent all their time thinking of ways to do it more effectively.
FIFA promises that Israeli clubs can display discriminatory and racist posters and displays in a couple of weeks. Russian teams still banned.

OH God this one hurts. The Maxx was utter brilliance. Sam Kieth shaped a whole generation of comic book readers and retailers and creators, myself included.
Aaron Meyers@aaronmeyers.bsky.social · 5mo agoSam Kieth has passed. There are so many great comics creators I love, but Sam is on my Mount Rushmore. The Maxx was a revelation when I first read it. What a sad loss. What a great creator. I will miss your light in this world intensely.
Is there anything more modern-day-Labor than Richard Marles defending Australia troops against slander without mentioning the slander was committed by Donald Trump? Surface level concern underpinned by utter cowardice and complicity.
One small upside to these rushed, illiberal "hate" laws that government ministers can't seem to explain: I've never heard so much "Are people allowed to say '𝑰𝒔𝒓𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆'?" in mainstream media interviews. Galling that govt can't answer, good that even Karl Stefanovic is asking.
