Stephen Miller says NSPM-7 will lead to the "debanking" and "defunding" of left-wing "political terrorists that are operating in our country."

Captcha but for Americans They gotta identify basic political concepts and the right way to spell stuff 'click on the socialist' 'click on the Nazi' 'Celebrity or Expert' 'identify this country on a map' 'click on the correct spelling for favourite' Ah, peace on the internet

So I was cleaning and I slipped and fell and hit my head, and covered myself in caustic soda in water. That could have been a life ending blow to the head. Thankfully it's just a bump, hurt wrist, and (lol) my right nipple has a band-aid because the caustic went in my bra.

Last 2 weeks of the Grad Dip Legal Practice and then I’m done. Definitely taking a break… I had no break between finishing law school and this so kinda need one…

Hi

Widow’s Bay is a fucking masterpiece. Holy shit. Get on it.

Oh, we may be living in a dystopian hellscape with the most horrendous, awful and immoral shit being given a pass and it will only get worse but have you seen the guy's tattoo? - libs who hate the right but literally do everything in their power to bolster them at every turn

I mean when people are so rotten to their core that you think Iran is pretty based...

🚨NEWS: The Trump administration quietly waived key longstanding investor protection rules ahead of the IPO for Elon Musk's SpaceX, according to government documents reviewed by @levernews.com. The exemption "has never been provided before," according to one financial watchdog.

After a year on Mint, I decided to move to Fedora. It's been a slight adjustment due to GNOME, but I get to live the GruvBox life again... just gotta work on some more icons and a bit more of the CSS to make it all look consistent, but... noice.

heh I am officially free of pretty much every streaming service except YouTube (which I don't mind paying for). Another album yoinked, so decided to set everything up on NextCloud, with Subsonic app. I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeee (now to convince the boys they don't "need" Spotify, ugh)

Open Letter Regarding NSO

Hi all.

open.substack.com

People I mostly agree with and respect maybe don’t be arseholes about abuse of women’s trauma and maybe just say “yes that’s bad and you should still vote for him because people are not necessarily their past and politics is kinda complex like that” challenge

Americans just be normal for once challenge I’m starting to root for the Tide Pods I gotta be honest

Dumb men create bad times. Smart people burn themselves out to solve problem created by dumb men. Dumb men say "see, it wasn't a problem after all".

By pretty much every metric, I am a badass and a success story. Despite every hurdle imaginable I the exception to every rule. Tell me I can’t, and I will let that be my fuel and then I will. Not in an arrogant way, but I will drill a hole in you with a look and then prove you wrong.

Dying laughing at Urzila Carlson’s show on ABC. Fuck she’s funny. Menopause Cop had me howling

It's come up a few times... people asking why I stay on that crappy app. It's because this would never, ever happen anywhere else. Even after everything that has happened. This is Twitter and it can never, ever be replicated. Twitter is as much a concept as it was a product.

There's a reason why so many comedians are lawyers. There's something about the understated tone of very silly things, where you have to reduce it down to a sentence. You end up with potato defamation.

Not sure where this puts me on the loser scale (already fairly high), but I've spent a few days configuring our home server to run a bunch of custom agents. One is something that pulls and summarises recent ACL cases and emails a doc. But also a random greeting why not @actualbenfolds.bsky.social

When the right fund certain court cases, it is never because they care about the issue. It is usually about a secondary goal or grievance. Such as, perhaps, trying to undermine the External Affairs power (and therefore the Racial Discrimination and Sex Discrimnation Acts).

Remember when people (including me) thought "birthing person" was dehumanising, and a bunch of people were like "the right know what a woman is, they are friends" and told anyone who said "no they hate women more" was called every name under the sun? I don't either

What the actual fuck is ‘under babied’? How about you give people proper access to childcare and maternity leave (as a start).

People seem to have short and selective memories….

As I type this, there is a crew slumming it by going out to the outer burbs to film a segment with a man named Darryl. Darryl is a tradie, just 3 years from retirement. Him and his wife lost their son and they have a discretioary trust for their grandkid with special needs & Albo must be stopped.

I'm not implying that he did it on purpose or anything (it's all about me), but @actualbenfolds.bsky.social is playing in Sydney when I am being admitted in NSW. Good to way to celebrate a momentous achievement, if I must say, especially seeing as he kinda played a role ❤️. Shuffling some things.

not gonna lie sometimes I get a little embarrassed about how much time and effort I put into youtube videos that got like 2k views so honestly seeing The Washington Post spend millions to flop even harder is actually pretty comforting

This Washington Post Opinions podcast episode has 470 views on YouTube.

Eagerly awaiting the new segments on the budget where they go into the kitchen of some old Boomer jiggling a teabag in their unrenovated kitchen saying how they overcame Keating's interest rates, were never handed anything, and now this, which is why they're racist for some reason

I have no beef with people who want to purchase an investment property, or rent it out, or are landlords. I'm grateful you were so genrous to only increase our rent by $30 this time. But please, for the love of God, stop fucking whining and playing victim. It's pathetic.

May you live long enough to see Ben Shaprio become a hall monitor/wokescold, and every wokescold you know saying 'false flag' and 'pizza'. If you haven't melted your brains on the computer and possess object permanence and a Theory of Mind, you find it all very entertaining.

We have a VEIN server that I set up on our home server, and it is super fun. Except it has basiclly become Grith Simulator Minecraft. lol If you play it and you wanna play on our server, let me know - it'd be good to get a server going with a few more people (I don't like public servers)
