Here's what you won't see in the Australian media. #FreePalestine #FIFAWorldCup #auspol

”Musk, despite his wealth, good fortune and global influence, is not a serious person – but he is toying with dangerous ideas”
a new op-ed in The Guardian by @sivavaid@twitter.com that points to #Longtermism as a key ideology at play here that justifies chaos for us in favor of the unborn humans. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/31/elon-musk-twitter-trump-tesla-longtermism

Some people support free speech

Some people claim to be free speech absolutists, then buy Twitter for $44 billion and start banning journalists

Some people claim to be free speech champions, and then deflect criticism of an authoritarian billionaire silencing journalists

You can support free speech or your can support an authoritarian billionaire using his wealth to silence journalists

You can't do both

Trump stole the images for his NFT trading cards from stock photos and Amazon.com

Republicans stole the images for their “Commitment to America” platform from Russian stock photos

Too dumb to be original

Too evil to care

The three biggest liquid natural gas (lng) exporters in Australia made over 30 billion extra windfall profits last fin yr thanks to Russia. More is coming. Yet they are screaming because the Aus gov put a price cap on the 10% we use domestically; a cap desgned primarily to protect business and manufacturing. We've had enough. Chevron once charged its Australian subsidiary 9% interest on finance it procured at 1.2%. All to avoid paying the people for their resources. Similar rorts abound. We export more lng than any country in the world. We get bugger all for it because successive governments have been cowed by the powerful fossil fuels lobby. Multi-nationals play countries and workers against each other. I understand their job is simply to maximise profits. If local farmers and manufacturers go broke next year their share price and golden parachutes are safe.
Government's task is to constrain that amoral pursuit in the interests of society. Sea-change is on. #auspol #politics

@w7voa just leave. Twitter is a rigged game run by a disgusting authoritarian Trump supporter.
Playing a rigged game is foolish.

Elon claims journalists endangered his kid

That never happened

Trump claims the election was stolen

That never happened

DeSantis claims Black voters voted illegally

That never happened

Lies are the currency of the Republican Party

You can make a QR code for any Mastodon link and it works fine on Twitter. Just thought I'd mention that for no reason. 🤓 #protip

Yesterday, @igd_news was banned from #twitter, as well as numerous individual reporters who were critical of #Musk's nonsense story about being "doxxed." Also, all links to #Mastodon were completely shut down.

Today, serial liar My Pillow guy Mike Lindell is reinstated.

‘It’s hard coming home to a tent’: the rise of Australia’s working homeless
-- by Jordyn Beazley, for The Guardian

"Housing affordability stress is now the fastest growing cause of homelessness in Australia, according to the latest Australian Homelessness Monitor. More than a quarter of people seeking support from homelessness services are without a home for this reason."

Hundreds of people, many of them young women, have been killed in the crackdown by Iran’s brutal clerical regime on nationwide protests. Iranian-born Australian broadcast technician @mahannoori@twitter.com made this moving tribute to the victims. https://youtu.be/2X7QhBEH6tE #IranRevolution2022

Michaelia Cash's last-minute appointments to the AAT made an unanswerable case for its abolition, thereby putting out of work the dozens of cronies already in place. So, it actually reduced the Liberal party's drain on the public purse. She can't even do corruption properly.

One of my last posts on the other site before it suspended me without notice:

CNN:

WTF?! This is absolutely insane. Aaron Rupar has been suspended from Twitter.
