in less than a week, two conservative opposition leaders in australia and canada who tried to win their elections on anti-woke platforms (with an air of You Know Who) have not only lost their elections, but lost their *seats* as well. yikes. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Australia state broadcaster ABC projects opposition leader Dutton to lose seat

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said on Saturday it was projecting opposition leader Peter Dutton is set to lose his seat in a nationwide federal election.

one of the most horrifying things to accept about This Era is there is no functional federal law enforcement agency or prosecutors who will investigate anyone even slightly aligned with the administration.

The monumental grace that Sarah McBride is showing right now is astounding.

just met a woman at a party & asked her what she did for work. could barely understand her because she was so soft spoken & had an accent so i just nodded a bunch.

“she’s in culture,” her friend said.

i finally realised that i was talking to
ANNA DELVEY

I ASKED ANNA DELVEY WHAT SHE DID FOR WORK

feels like there has been more discussion about healthcare in the last week than there was during the entire election

jimmy carter spent his decades after leaving the white house eradicating guinea worm and helping the poor. we will likely never see another ex-president like him.
