An #introduction. I’m Australian. I’ve been a featured columnist at The Guardian for 10 years. I’ve had bylines in The New York Times, Bloomberg, the The Telegraph (UK) and more. My 2021 book “QAnon And On: A Short and Shocking History of Internet Conspiracy Cults” is a bestseller! I do a #auspol podcast with my partner called The Week on Wednesday. I’m supposed to be a playwright but keep getting distracted fighting Nazis & neoliberals. I’m a laborist socialist and very proud to be union.

Yeah, this is why Mastodon is currently frustrating for media people: we’ve embraced Twitter as the means to get across breaking world news stories from our trusted sources at mass with speed and confidence. We’re not really here to share funny cat videos: we’re here for the CNN report on the liberation of Kherson and the expert comment we need to contextualise it.

Elon Musk replatforming the Marmalade Mao is a pretty conclusive demonstration of how pathetically desperate he is for friends.

The right are going hard against Andrews because he’s rebuilding a model of government-owned enterprise (ie, a state energy company), public service & local procurement (ie trains) that proves privatisation, outsourcing & offshoring were A CON. #springst https://c.im/@steve_f1_fan/109373525623546913

The creators of #TempleOfBoom at the @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com, Adam Newman & Kelvin Tsang, “invite audiences to reflect on the conversations that are enabled when this ancient building (the Parthenon) is viewed in new and surprising contexts”.

The beauty of the #TempleOfBoom in the garden of the @NGVMelbourne@twitter.com is that it’s going to evolve and change as more artists come in to repaint it - so you can visit and revisit and it will be a new experience when you do.

THANK YOU to everyone who has read and recommended my book, #QAnonAndOn: A Short and Shocking History of Internet Conspiracy cults. The book is an Amazon bestseller as an ebook & audiobook & there are only 3 paperbacks left in the Australian store (more on their way, order now!).

Interesting piece. “I’m a therapist to the ultra-rich. Trust me when I say Glass Onion is not as far-fetched as you think” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/30/im-a-therapist-to-the-ultra-rich-trust-me-when-i-say-glass-onion-is-not-as-far-fetched-as-you-think?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

A couple of years ago when social media became a rape-threat festival for feminists and I was receiving death threats every day, being stalked and obtaining intervention orders the opinion of the conservative commentariat was that we just needed to toughen up.I am reminded /1

of this every time I read a conservative commentator complaining about a “woke social media mob” hurting their fee-fees by calling them a (gasp!) “cooker”. Aww, keeps you awake at night, does it, softpants? Maybe it’s too hot in here for you? One rule for thee, &etc. /ends

We got a podcast out! A very emotional episode of the Week on Wednesday as we discuss violence against women AND CHILDREN, the latest horrific private schoolboy scandal and the education revolution that we have to have. Enjoy, #auspol! https://apple.co/4duP1sy
