2·1 day agoThe look on the speaker’s face is priceless.
34·2 days agoStill just a Summer intern, all these years later.
7·2 days agoI have a vague recollection of the state government trying a stunt like this some time in the past few years. I can’t remember if it was Labor or the Coalition but I do remember them backing down when it backfired. At least I think that’s what happened.
Reading the comments on the smh coverage of this is maddening.
1·2 days agoA couple of smaller recent-ish films are Midnight Special and The Vast of Night. They are not necessarily utopian.
The thunder shook our apartment building last night.
New commentary for HL2 if anyone’s looking for an excuse to play it again.

How do you register an account to use the app?
4·6 days agoHard to know. Maybe it’s a tactical move in preparation for the next federal election. Seeing the Dems get obliterated after supporting Israel’s slaughter for the past year might have given them food for thought.
It’s only short sighted if people are educated and motivated and chose not to go and vote regardless. But I don’t think that’s what happened. A key part of educating people about progressive causes and initiatives is running progressive campaigns and motivating people to get involved in those campaigns or to support them. If competing major parties run on right wing platforms whether it be in the US or Australia or anywhere where parliamentary politics is dominated by a parliamentary duopoly then it should come as no surprise that folks who are not inspired by right wing politics don’t get involved in anything and don’t get educated or informed about other progressive causes etc.
First time I’ve noticed so many workers wearing the union t-shirts on the job. Good on them. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention during previous industrial action or just plain forgot.
Can’t tell if serious.
I agree that there’s more than one reason but I’m not sure we’re on the same page about the rest.
If people failed to be motivated to go and vote for a presidential candidate, in an election where voting is voluntary, I think it stands to reason that they wouldn’t bother going to vote for anything else on the ballot. Maybe I am ignorant about how these ballot initiatives work. Don’t people vote on them at the same time as the presidential election?
It’s more the case that the Democrats ran a right wing campaign and didn’t convince or inspire thier own supporters to vote for them. Kinda important when voting is voluntary.

Oh well.
10·9 days agoMay I ask, how did you end sharing an amp link? Is that what the Guardian uses in their newsletters or social media posts?
2·9 days agoCheck out the size of the mines in Muswellbrook.
18·9 days agoNSW Premier Chris Minns said protesting on railway corridors was a “real problem” for the Hunter and could cause “enormous damage” to the economy.
It’s a good thing climate change won’t cause “enormous damage” to the economy.
I can’t figure out how it would be named.
