The richest guy on the planet saying unions create lords and peasants is the highest level of gaslighting I've ever seen
Well. The rebrand has happened and Twitter provides no beneficial value in my life, so I’m deleting the app from my phone for now.

Colonisation was “the luckiest thing that happened to this country...”
John Winston Howard OM AC.
Honestly a well earned achievement. She’s transformed a dingy little chemist into a bright hub of activity.
It’s a shame Capital Chem is so incredibly expensive at this time of the cost of living crisis. I wish I was in a better position to support this great local business.
The Pharmacist of the Year title recognised her innovative efforts to connect with her community, and the desire to go above and beyond.

It's reminder time again. We have no idea who our Kindle subscribers are, but there are a lot of them. Losing those subscribers is going to be brutal, so we'll keep bringing this up. We have no choice.
ALT Magazine subscriptions at Amazon are ending in September. Amazon is transitioning magazines to Kindle Unlimited, which will result in a 50% decrease in our revenue from them. They have been one of our major distributors, so that’s a devastating percentage. Please consider subscribing directly with us, but if you can’t and decide to take the KU option, make sure you open and spend time in each issue or we’ll get n-o-t-h-i-n-g. Subscribe directly today via Patreon or ClarkesworldCitizens.com and lock in our $2.99/month rate. Subscriptions starting after 9/1/2023 will be $3.99/month.

We’d be so happy if you could help us highlight who is playing games in ANZ. We are looking for players across all demographics to submit 30 sec videos telling us why you play games and what games mean to you. Details of how to participate are here: igea.net/2023/07/help-igea-h…

Every teacher has heard a student make a pitch like this for their project topic. And every single time they know it will never happen and nothing will actually get submitted.
Worried @moistened_tart has vanished. Kylie, are you ok? Or is my Twitter just not finding you?

The hypocrisy of @sussanley is breathtaking. She has been in govt for years & didn’t do anything about constitutional recognition. When pressed for details on any policy or whose advice she relies on, she just skips to Dutton’s next #fearandsmear. No substance. #insiders

How many more cases do we need to see Albo, before you realise the APS is rotten, and Defence the very worst?
Trevor Crawford, a decorated public servant, made allegations of government corruption. He says it cost him his career — and almost his life

I’ve said it before & will again:
I’ve heard so many regrets.
Please. I plead with you. Live deeply. You may be young now but it goes. Fast. It is a breath. Do not waste time on everyone else’s vision for you. I know it is not this easy. In all the ways you can, please be here.

We have the lesson of the Library of Alexandria wrong.
As the head of Oxford’s Libraries shows, it was neglect in maintaining & updating technology of older works, not 🔥, that destroyed the Library.
And 53% of all New York Times articles already have at least one broken link.
Finally watched Black Adam.
Yeah it really wasn’t all that great. It was fun and had some nice moments, though.
