The politicians response to the Schoolies March strongly reminds me of these lines from Elvis Costello:

quote:

Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say thank you straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you've only got the symptoms, you haven't got the whole disease


It's like they were trying to be funny but only managed contempt.

Further to that muting twitter post:

got a bunch more there.

RE Gavin McInnes being denied a Visa (good), why hasn’t there been a campaign to cancel Tommy Robinson’s visa? He’s a literal criminal, domestic violence perpetrator and has even more explicit links to Neo-Nazis

I think no Visa application has been received for Tommy. Hence why no rejection.

They've only arrested like 200 people in Paris over the fuel riots. Given how fat and lazy Australians are and that we've got no cultural memory of doing anything to oppose the government, I think we should just flat out tax any energy from fossils at double the current price and people will just eat the poo poo sandwich and get used to it while the money builds renewables lightning fast.

Other states, particularly Queensland and Victoria, would pay big money to steal the NRL decider from NSW. Victoria, for example, would be able to host the AFL and NRL grand finals on consecutive weekends. The tourism benefits of that double-header would be amazing.
Victorians don't give a poo poo about Rugby League, unless the Storm is in the Grand Final. There's no way you'd get Victorians to queue up for a NRL GF with two NSW teams.

Meh, we can still blame non whites, immigrants, unions, top end of town, single mothers before we even think of rioting

There’s a lot of political leverage available to the fossil fuel lobby with consumer level price signal policies. Hence french riots and axe the tax here.
Just leave consumers out of it and start by banning any new coal mines. The incentive is long term cost benefit of reduced global impact and subsequent financial damage to Australia.

Here's a stupid loving question though - phones have all sorts of cool apps for twitter that cuts out a lot of twitters bullshit.

Is there anything like that for the PC? or am I reliant on twitter dot com's bullshit attempts at a "timeline" that mixes tweets from 18 hours ago with poo poo from 7 minutes ago

There used to be, but not many any more since twitter stopped making their changes to API public, so most apps only have access to a subset of features that actual twitter has. My advice would be to use mastodon instead because twitter is a fascist hellsite and you can do so much better

Truth Sharing.

To all the school kids going on "strike" for climate change..
You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom. You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.
You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and replace perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy. Your scooters and skateboards are increasingly... electric!
Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.
The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.
How about this... tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured goods.
No, none of this will happen because you are uneducated, selfish, virtue signalling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a "noble cause" while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.”
