       @grey @atomicpoet politicians and journalists received blue ticks to verify they were the real people and not imposters. You just got them when somebody at Twitter HQ decided you should have one. Mine appeared one morning when I was working as an editor on an Australian media site.

       Just caught a bit of the Sunday Bad Show to hear some journo saying states don't play much role in people's lives. Real ignorant Canberra bubble stuff - where has this Poindexter been for the past three years?

       Oh, it's Greg 'Iraqis will welcome our troops with roses' Sheridan. That pretty well explains it.

       He goes on to blather a Liberal Party talking point about  Victoria's 'massive debt', conveniently ignoring the NSW Liberals' massive off books spending.

       @Penelope we need Imusing on this platform. I can't watch either the Sunday or Thursday Bad Shows for both my sanity and the safety of my home's TV screens.

       @Penelope i also maintain you'll learn more about Australian politics by watching Teletubbies reruns than listening to the insular blathering of the discredited Canberra press gallery.

       @RayStraighter @Penelope we sure do. Plenty of folk selling out their communities for a quick political  (and financial) win.

       The only debate Australians should care about at 11am on a Friday is "schnitty or laksa for lunch?"

       You read stories like this and you wonder what an opportunity Australia is missing by not making the nation as safe place for students and researchers while funding genuine research. For all the cant about R&D, innovation, commercialisation and productivity, the real opportunities go begging.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/science/russian-scientist-ice-detained-harvard.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-04.bfnF.GE0AwkQ814Ou

       Well, this is one way to beat the Qantas boarding group system. I hope he doesn’t wake up in Karratha.
