i stopped following him years ago when he posted some dumb ableist meme and then doubled down on it when called out.

using centerlibs obsession with a new john birchy redbaiting conspiracy worldview to deflect from sexual assault allegations is pretty gross.

The conservative schaden is just starting. It's only been an hour since the announcement, I expect it to have gone full fundie by the end of the day.

The best has been from Tony Abbott, former Prime Minister and Actual Lizard Person, with his saying "The No vote is going to win" to "40% is a moral victory" to "any support is a moral victory". They're going to throw out their spines from continuing to pick up the goal posts to move them.

The original allegation was a crock of poo poo pumped up for attention. Guy was in a relationship with Takei, he was an adult at the time, and it stopped when he asked for it to. Nothing to see here, except maybe someone who was heartbroken when the relationship ended and who should've subsequently seen a therapist instead of letting it fester for 30+ years.

Of course this is the type of bullshit that the Liberal party is pushing for

quote:

An alternative bill, proposed by another Liberal Party senator, James Paterson, has more robust religious protections. His bill would allow service providers like bakers and photographers to refuse service to same-sex couples, without facing legal action. His bill would provide additional anti-discrimination protections for religious people and businesses opposed to gay marriage. Reflecting the national debate that often centered on the well-being of children, Mr. Paterson’s bill would allow parents the right to take their children out of classes that “conflict with their values.”

The liberal party is just the Australian conservative party. There's been so much hand wringing from their side about this thing called safe schools is going to teach kdis to want to wear dresses to school and it's going to teach them how to be deviants.

Of course the safe schools project is devoted to providing support to LGBTI students and to provide them counselling and advice AND WE CAN'T HAVE THE GAYS THINKING THAT THEY'RE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE DECENT PEOPLE

It's supposed to refer to Economic Liberalism, basically small-government.

Economic liberalism is an economic system organized on individual lines, which means that the greatest possible number of economic decisions are made by individuals or households rather than by collective institutions or organizations

Mobile game microtransactions hurt the same people as gas station slot machines basically. They're engineered specifically to exploit little brain behaviors that urge people to spend. They target whales, people most likely to fall into that pit. And just like gas station slot machines, free games with lovely microtransactions are really easy to stumble across for people who might be weak to that kind of thing.

They genuinely design them to hook whales and milk them for money. It is very scummy.

$3 million lawsuit for Worth County students

For those not familiar with the case, Worth County, Ga., Sheriff Jeff Hobby ordered a school-wide search for drugs at Worth County High. He ordered his deputies to take phones and to aggressively pat down students. All 900 of them. Some groped students. It lasted several hours, with no students permitted to leave.

No drugs were found.

Hobby has been suspended by executive order of the governor. He and two deputies were indicted for the search.

Last month, Hobby's 17-year-old son was arrested for felony possession of marijuana. Hobby, being a complete dumbass, burst in with his wife during the GBI interview and the boy was housed in the Worth County Jail.
The boy was not in school on the day of the drug search.

Hobby has been indicted for the interference, too.

I was wondering about this for a couple of minutes before looking up context. The two seated senators are openly gay and were big figures on the liberal side that were pushing for same-sex marriage. Meanwhile here's what I found out about the other guy

Cory Bernardi is a conservative senator for South Australia standing up for common sense and the silent majority.

That's right a major newspaper does not believe australians should ever be able to vote on anything themselves.

Pretty amazing in this day and age.
