Thanks Tom – great to see the cartoons back!

I’ve written a, very polite, letter to my local Liberal member about the idiocy of Dutton supporting this social media bill.
After seeing Albo complaining about him being subject to political caricatures surely Dutton will see how it is intended to stifle those who oppose the current regime.
Twitter isn’t a censorship free zone.
Unwanted graphic content, racism, calls for violence, threats are not tolerated. Accounts get suspended, people get permanently banned for the more egregious stuff.
Australian politicians need to look after their own backyards.
Hate speech is fine as long as it’s spouted by the right kind of people.

Twitter & TikTok are the first places I go to for news.

On twitter, I only look at my “following” tab & almost never go to the “for you” tab.
I can see what’s happening, a few different takes & a lot of links to quality analysis.

On TikTok, it’s the opposite. On the “for you” tab, I will see video of stuff going on globally that takes hours or days (if at all) by the legacy media sites.

TikTok censors, curates far less than any other site.
For example, today there was a pro-Pali video showing a line up of dead babies & toddlers.
Shocking no doubt.
Then in the comments when people ask “why are there differing levels of decomposition”.
Ie, the Pali’s had been collecting the bodies of the little ones for at least a couple of months for this planned event.
Sure it doesn’t show Israel in a great light.
At the same time, it shows the Pali’s to be the stage managers that they are.

I know someone who works at TikTok in Australia on the ecommerce side of the business.
It is all about engagement.
Then selling shit to people & clipping the ticket.

Channel 9 news has more engagement via TikTok than it does with people sitting down & watching it of an evening.
Sure, they might only be getting 30 second snippets on TikTok, not the full curated free to air news.
But Channel 9 news doesn’t care.
It’s engagement.

So if Channel 9 has some footage that 100’s of thousands of people want to see, it gets promoted in the feed, and more ecommerce opportunities are placed around that, which directly leads to more revenue going to Channel 9.

It’s not the boogie man it’s made out to be.
It’s the ecommerce beast that is slaying other social media platforms ecommerce revenue globally.

Then in the comments when people ask “why are there differing levels of decomposition”.

Ie, the Pali’s had been collecting the bodies of the little ones for at least a couple of months for this planned event.

Sure it doesn’t show Israel in a great light.

Perhaps.

And then there’s the provenance of the bodies. Exactly how did the children die? At who’s hand? If they have been “collected” from various locations, which locations?

Claims like this deserve forensic analysis. Good luck with that when Hamas is involved.

But Justin Smith on Sky will lap it all up as truth and then spew it forth when the Pallis are inevitably challenged. I thought the creature would have apoplexy last night.

From Indolent’s link:

At Microsoft, Inman Grant focused on issues such as cyber bullying, online safety for the family, and online reputation management, and was promoted to the role of Global Director for Privacy and Internet Safety.
From there, Inman Grant moved to Twitter as Director of Public Policy for Australia and Southeast Asia between 2014 to 2016, when the company was focused on building a ‘safer’ environment, rolling out new rules against online abuse and improvingtolerance and diversity. 

In other words, she was an abject failure at both organisations. Dorsey must have loved her though. And, naturally, our very own rolled gold termite, Turnbull.

And now she’s decided to boss others around and be paid to do it from the public purse. What a win for Australia.

Biggest respect for the Anzacs and all who have served over the decades. Thank You, legends. After Christmas, my most important day on the calendar.

Let’s hope their sacrifices will not be in vain and we can rid this country of the freedom hating parasitic elites shamefully infesting Australian public life.

I don’t leave it to ANZAC DAY to remember my relatives nor others that served. As far as I know none of mine were killed. Mums cousin I remembered recently was wounded and wife’s grandfather gassed. I recall as a nipper going to town with granddad and him meeting some of his old serving mates along the street. The glint in their eyes remembering their fallen comrades. Mostly they were a lot younger than I am now. He died when I was 10 and stopped going to town when his mates had died too soon. I still remember the last old mate saying, ” not many of us left, Johnny”. Never saw him after that. Can still walk past that same spot about 62 years later and see two, what I thought were old men shaking hands in a bond that couldn’t be broken. There must have been something quite profound about the moment for me still to remember.

And…good morning to you, my anonymous shadow of perseveration!
