hey help me out, I've been living in the UK and stopped keeping up with auspol out of sheer loving disgust- ABC reports that some concentration camp victims won a settlement from the government but that benefits just a small cross section of detainees and it indicates nothing of the future of the camps or the people presently therein, yes? something mildly decent has happened but nothing explicitly good, right?

Nothing good has happened but a bunch of people in gulags are getting $30k each for their trouble. Still people in gulags, it's just $70M more that tax payers spend on it.

Haven't seen it on facebook at all, and I generally only visit news sites when directly linked to articles, and I've not been for this.

I think Mia Freedman was deprived of Oxygen for too long in some unreported teenage incident, so I've really been more interested in other politics lately, rather than her demented activities.

She's a feminist who was inspired, by rejecting the idea that she could be told there's a right way to be feminist, to a career chiefly revolving around telling other women they're doing feminism wrong.

She wrote a thing that basically fat shamed an international guest and humiliated her.

Mia Freedman is a feminist only in that she's for the advancement of woman.

What's the mammamia thing?

She interviewed Roxanne Gay, an author who was promoting a book called 'Hunger: a memoir of my body'. It deals with the experience of being a fat person in the world. Buying 2 plane seats, etc. As part of the introduction, she disclosed that Gay's publicist had asked unique questions in the lead up to the interview - such as the distance to the studio, and notably, how big the lift was and whether there was a goods lift.
The author took to twitter to express her displeasure, and everyone picked up on it and has pounced on Friedman with what feels like an unsettling level of glee.

If Gay's weight and the impact that has on her experience in the world was some kind of secret, rather than being the the purpose of her being there, it would be one thing, but it wasn't. And people are attacking Friedman in really nasty and personal ways, and I'm trying to understand it.

Seems like it's echoed here.

See I don't get this. Listening to the podcast pretty regularly I'd say the exact opposite. Have you got any examples?

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Nandos is just disappointing. It's barely spicy and way overpriced.

Ogalo is where it's at. Make sure to get it every time I'm back in Sydney. Hopefully they'll open a store up here some time.

Nandos has nothing on KFC and KFC is poo poo.

Eat somewhere else.

Competing for the best place to get fast food is like competing for how much raw sewerage one person can drink.
