@rberger Before reading the rest of article by George Monbiot I asked myself why & first answer was political agendas warped by political party campaign funding. Ability of some few to control media messaging doesnāt help either. But I would like more discussion on other āwhysā e.g. (as suggested/ nominated by Monbiot): ācentrist parties paralysed in the face of economic power. In hock to rich funders, terrified of the billionaire media, for decades they have been unable even to name the problem, let alone address it. Hence the spectacular uselessness of the Democratsā response to Trump. As the US journalist Hamilton Nolan remarks: āOne party is out to kill, and the other is waiting for its leaders to die.ā ā#USPol # UKPol #AusPol #inequality #ReconnectingConsequencesToCauses

#introduction * a work in process * profile pic: a Willie Wagtail bird, tail up, standing on a fence post, beak open, chattering* banner: my #PopArt style surface design of empty conversation bubbles* I sometimes repeat things because I think they are perfect - perfectly witty, perfectly said, perfectly appealing - & repeating helps me to remember them

@spinopsys An interesting #AusPol read, not paywalled when I accessed it; bottom line elegantly expressed: "Their differences are irreconcilable, and their commonalities make them unelectable."Also: [lack of natural predators] "means the Nationals can behave with near electoral impunity. They are not compelled to find ways of winning the centre, where elections are won. They need not reckon with the changing Australia confronting the Liberals. And the lack of competition means they routinely return strong electoral performances, which allows them to make ever more strident demands of the Liberal Party, who are frequently coming off a disappointing result."Thanks for sharing. š

@Nonilex Stolen by the Thump crime family & #gravy train... Because someone is: " ācommitted to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the presidentās priorities.ā " rather than those of the US Congress.There must be a bottomless hole in their souls, one that cannot be filled by #gravy.

@Nonilex Wowā¦ this is beyond weirdā¦ so: Democrats (āthe oppositionā in Australian govt terms) just voted for select Republicans, involved in the 6 Jan insurrection, to give themselves a payriseā¦ or have I got something wrong?

Can anyone tell me whether I actually NEED - from a security point of view- to update my iPhone? I have no time to learn new things right now, just want stable software & a phone that works all the time (ha ha, referring to the findings of a Telstra survey a long time ago).This is the bumf that describes the update & I donāt see anything important listed: ā iOS 26 brings a new design, intelligent experiences and improvements to the apps you rely on every day. The new design with Liquid Glass brings a more expressive and seamless experience to your Lock Screen and Home Screen, as well as apps, navigation and controls. Apple Intelligence is integrated into even more places, giving you the ability to learn more about the content on your screen, powering Live Translation features to help you communicate across languages, and unlocking new actions in Shortcuts so you can get more done fast. Updates to Phone and Messages help you stay connected while eliminating distractions like unwanted calls. iOS 26 also brings meaningful enhancements to Camera, Photos, Wallet, CarPlay and so much more.ā#AskFedi

@Nonilex No glory! ā¹ļø Like so many other things the Thump regime does: theyāre happy to take the benefit but they donāt participate in solutions nor contribute their share of the costs. Freeloaders all the way down. š

@Nonilex Good idea, on the face of it: actual, factual info to counter the āfalse narrativesā (lies) put out by Thump administration creepy-weird creepsā¦ and good on Minnesota Corrections for doing it.š They say: āCombatting DHS MisinformationThis page exists to correct the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) repeated false claims regarding the Minnesota Department of Corrections' (DOC) cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Please see the below media fact sheet, press releases, and videos for more information.ā Just the list of videos makes for some wow-golly-gosh readingā¦ #USPol #Minnesota #ICE #Corrections #combattingmisinformation #Misinformation #Lies
