Hi there, I would like to talk about paywalls
Today I had a rather large article drop in Slate and there was a soft paywall. A lot of people commented upset about that paywall
Let's talk about:
a) how to get around paywalls
b) why you shouldn't be mad about them
If officials can’t bring themselves to arrest someone who is captured on camera from multiple angles killing someone in cold blood, they should just step aside so someone with a backbone can lead

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

These bullshit "resistance accounts" spewing this AI garbage are so incredibly toxic. I saw this video below and believed it was real until Kevin posted this (hint: always check the signs and lettering... if it's gibberish, it's likely AI). These aren't doing anyone any good. Block accordingly.
How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”
Andrew Hastie is on the board of an international extreme Christian body, the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship.
Don’t let his mask fool you. We don’t want bossy Christian gov in Australia. (Note in US, contraceptive pills being treated as abortion 🚨)

It's good to see that Zach Woods has only become more powerful and based with time.
As I was saying…
This is amazing.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.
that fox news host still has his job.
Come at us
Given this is making some waves - here is the piece and you can judge for yourself.
(I'm fine, there are no issues - right wing ecosystem just doing what right wing ecosystem does).
Take care of you - it's rough out there! Ax

Disgraceful.
No govt that actually cares about climate change would do this.

Watch journalist @alistairkitchen.bsky.social recount being detained for 12 hours, interrogated, his device searched at LAX in June, and later deported over his reporting.
This is yet another sign that press freedom is under threat amid growing political repression and democratic decline in the US.
PM Albanese fires back at media for reporting Hamas propaganda from someone “in prison in Israel since October 2003” who has “no means of communication”
“What this is, is a warning to the media”
Calls out Sussan Ley & the Libs & says they “shouldn’t repeat Hamas’ propaganda”🔥 #auspol
we need to make this shit taboo. It’s grotesque, like making a puppet of a dead person

Gosh, good thing our supposedly left-wing government didn’t create a special position in public life expressly for this person as part of its big push for ‘social cohesion’.
That would have been pretty daft.

That last line hits hard
