The coalition between the populist left (represented by Mamdani) and progressive liberals (represented by Lander) shows the path towards electoral success for the left. It's a path which can be replicated by other candidates (like AOC in a presidential primary). Each bloc is necessary to victory.

Some gutsy journalism going on right now. Maybe it's time to have a long hard look at what some people in the hospitality industry have become, and who indulges & favours them. Kudos to the Channel 9 papers for funding the sort of stories that need lots of skill, time and lawyers.

BREAKING: Palestinian witnesses and hospitals say Israeli forces opened fire toward hundreds of people waiting for aid trucks in central Gaza, killing at least 25 people.

Truly says a lot about the environment power has created, where calling for support of aid to go into Gaza (a basic human right and a war crime to deny) is seen as 'criticism' of Israel. That it was the first thing to come to Albanese's mind speaks volumes.

THANK YOU PEACE DADDY, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

The main way the covid era has shifted my thinking is that I now believe that if you cough on a bus you should be executed

Fight the real enemy

you’re living in it, baby

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

No I love being on three different apps that don’t feel as good as the old place at the same time.

I can't wait to give these people my bank account information and routing number

reminder that we are still on a POSTERS STRIKE !!!! do not post unless your posts are really good

Lol Yumi's book is now a bestseller, thanks for the free publicity fuckheads

I need to discuss the Barbie movie with every person I see show yourselves

Becoming the Pablo Escobar of Melbourne by releasing a self sustaining population of hippos into Merri Creek reserve

can we not just have ONE nice silly little viral thing that doesn't end in a complete hellscape

What actors and writers striking together looks like to me:

What's great about meandering onto a new platform is that I no longer remember who I fell out with or who was mad at me on Tw*tter so can just make online friends from scratch like a sweet little goldfish
