It's starting to become clear what #ElonMusk actually means by freedom of expression.His interpretation is that he gets to say whatever he wants & is free to suppress any arguments against an idea he supports.#USpoli #Twitter #Tesla

It's pretty clear that you don't decide to hold a fancy dress party & then buy the uniform.What happens is that you see the uniform, choose to acquire it & then realise you don't have anywhere to wear it.#Auspol #Perrottet #NAZI

@amerika The uniforms may sometimes be used in sexual fantasies but why do they make them in kids sizes & advertise them as Halloween costumes too?#Perrottet #Auspol #NAZI

@Penelope Shadow ministers are there to give an alternative point of view where they wish.A government without an opposition is a dictatorship & invariably leads to poor governance. #Auspol

@Penelope I haven't heard them being called ministers so can't comment.

@SandraN I don't recall Morrison achieving anything as PM.He must be having brief conversations.

I don't think this is what #Hitler had in mind when he spoke of breeding a super race of humans.They may not have been gassed but I'm pretty sure they would've been sterilised to prevent them polluting the gene pool of the master race.#auspol #eugenics #Race

@stopgopfox It only takes one broken family for a preschooler or anyone else to have access to guns & ammunition but not to effective education.

What do those who're carping on about the excess deaths in 2022 believe is happening/happened?Without more information (is it 0.001% higher than normal or 40% higher? What's the standard deviation for the deaths figure? How often do we see an excess deaths results that are similarly far from the norm?#Covid19 #covid #Auspolhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11940039/Australian-excess-deaths-record-highs-Covid-diabetes-dementia.html

The Gendered Brain reveals, hypotheses about sex-linked brain differences have not been proven.Other than the “missing 5 oz” of female brain — known since the nineteenth century — modern neuroscientists have identified no decisive, category-defining differences between the brains of men and women.In women’s brains, language-processing is not spread any more evenly across the hemispheres than it is in men’s, as a small 1995 Nature study claimed (A large 2008 analysis disproved this)Brain size increases with body size, and certain features, such as the ratio of grey to white matter or the cross-sectional area of a nerve tract called the corpus callosum, scale slightly non-linearly with brain size. But these are differences in degree, not kind. As Rippon notes, the correlation breaks down when small-headed men are compared to large-headed women, and have no relationship to differences in hobbies or take-home pay.#Gender #biology #psychologyhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00677-x

Australian #cats kill almost a million #birds a day.But if you think that sounds like a massacre, across the Pacific in the USA, 2.4 billion birds are killed by cats each year. It's not just feral animals but domestic cats that are allowed to roam free that are responsible.#CatsofMastodon #Caturday https://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/cats-australia-kill-1-million-birds-day-article-1.3543955?cid=bitly

There's been a sudden ocean heatwave & the el nino weather pattern is not developing as it did in the past.Clearly the oceans didn't suddenly change temperature - Heating water takes time.But where has the heat been hiding & why hadn't scientists found it previously?#climate #Auspol https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2023/04/28/world-ocean-temperatures-spike-as-scientists-look-for-the-cause/

While other countries are losing their lower slopes at lower latitudes, Australia's #skiing industry can see the writing on the wall.The snow is arriving later and later in the year & soon falls will be insufficient to support a season.#weather #Winter https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-09/nsw-resorts-postpone-ski-snowboarding-kings-birthday-lack-snow/102456510
