All they do is lie:
— Two years ago they said they wanted to crack down on fake accounts. Now they want to operate an unlimited number of them to wage informational war on the Australian people. And now @AnikaWells is lying about what's in the legislation
— @AnikaWells says she needs sweeping censorship powers to protect 14 year old girls from eating disorders, but the government already banned under 16 year olds from using social media
— @AlboMP at the UN said he wanted to censor citizens to stop "misinformation" and prevent "polarization." The next day he lied about having said this
How in the world could anybody trust anything Albanese and Wells say about anything?

The government today will introduce sweeping censorship that @AlboMP & @AnikaWells lie about. Below she claims the government wants to create a bot army of fake accounts for “research” when the bill clearly intends for them to be used in partisan warfare against fooled citizens.

Think about it.
The Albanese regime is attempting to ram through the Australian Parliament "by far the worst censorship legislation we have seen in the West".
And it’s not just about censorship, the legislation also gives the government the power to create fictitious ‘sock-puppet’ accounts to spread propaganda.
It’s what you’d expect from a fascist or communist regime and what you’d expect to read about in a novel written by George Orwell.
Thankfully One Nation have the moral clarity to oppose this.
The next election is our last chance to save our democracy.
“This is by far the worst censorship legislation we have seen in the West.”
Michael Shellenberger, founder of Public and CBR Chair of Politics, warns that the Albanese government’s proposed Digital Duty of Care could give the government sweeping censorship powers and allow it to operate unlimited fake social media accounts.

Incredible, generational speech by RFK, Jr.: youtu.be/BI9IX1Zwjn0?si=J9Pa…
Nick Cave wrote this letter to two fans, one who had asked him about love and the other who had asked about being broken-hearted. As a father who has lost two sons, Cave does have a handle on these matters:
Dear Mauro and Jenny,
The surest way to avoid a broken heart is to love nothing and no-one — not your partner, your child, your mother or father, your brothers or sisters; not your friends; not your neighbour; not your dog or your cat; not your football team, your garden, your granny or your job. In short, love not the world and love nothing in it. Beware of the things that draw you to love — music, art, literature, cinema, philosophy, nature and religion. Keep your heart narrow, hard, cynical, invulnerable, impenetrable, and shun small acts of kindness; be not merciful, forgiving, generous or charitable — these acts expand the heart and make you susceptible to love — because as Neil Young so plainly and painfully sings, ‘Only love can break your heart.’ In short, resist love, because real love, big love, true love, fierce love, is a perilous thing, and travels surely towards its devastation. A broken heart — that grief of love — is always love’s true destination. This is the covenant of love.
However, Mauro, to resist love and inoculate yourself against heartbreak is to reject life itself, for to love is your primary human function. It is your duty to love in whatever way you can, and to move boldly into that love — deeply, dangerously and recklessly — and restore the world with your awe and wonder. This world is in urgent need — desperate, crucial need — and is crying out for love, your love. It cannot survive without it.
To love the world is a participatory and reciprocal action — for what you give to the world, the world returns to you, many fold, and you will live days of love that will make your head spin, that you will treasure for all time. You will discover that love, radical love, is a kind of supercharged aliveness, and all that is of true value in the world is animated by it. And, yes, heartache awaits love’s end, but you find in time that this too is a gift — this little death — from which you are reborn, time and again. I have only one piece of advice for you both, and it is the very best that I can give. Love. The world is waiting.
Love, Nick

Before her execution, she recorded a message for her mother:
"I want the world to know what is being done to me."
Reyhaneh Jabbari was 19 when a former intelligence officer tried to sexually assault her. She fought back. He died. She spent seven years in Evin Prison. The world signed petitions. Iran sharpened the rope. She was 26. Iran hanged her anyway.
Rs
Under Sharia law in Iran, to prove rape, a woman must produce four male witnesses to the act itself.
Four. Male. Witnesses.
If she cannot, her accusation becomes a confession. She is no longer the victim. She is the criminal and faces flogging. Or prison. Or death.
This is not ancient history. This is the law that is still on the books today. The law that Abdul El-Sayed is asking Americans not to fear.
Women in Iran don't have a #MeToo movement. They have a noose.
Islamic Republic in Iran hangs 24-Year-old woman who defended herself from sexual assault
Yesterday the regime executed Marziyeh Neyri yesterday, a young woman who was forced into marriage at age 17 and hanged for fighting back against her attacker.
Marziyeh was 18 years old when her husband's associate attempted to sexually assault her in her own home, in front of her husband. She grabbed a kitchen knife to defend herself. Her husband died in the struggle.
She told the court she had been repeatedly assaulted by her husband's associates before that day. Iran's courts didn't care.
The regime rejected her self-defense claim. Her attacker, who survived, took the stand and called her a murderer. The court believed him over her.
She was sentenced to death.
No clemency. No mercy. The sentence was carried out at Chubindar Prison in Qazvin.
Marziyeh Neyri never had a chance. Forced into marriage as a child under Iran's Islamic laws, she spent the few years of her adult life in a courtroom, fighting for her life after defending it.
She lost.
This is the Sharia Laws in Islamic Republic of Iran where a woman can be hanged for surviving.

A privilege to join @joerogan and hopefully inform a global audience about what has been happening in Britain - mainly the rape, abuse and torture of countless young white working class girls.
I hope you all find our conversation as informative as I did.

Yes, that’s probably true.
Against my better judgment, I have developed an irresistible fondness for grok. Now don’t get me wrong-- I am not inclined to an emotional companionship with an AI, and I get the willies at the thought of how much that is happening in the world. But I am experiencing the human affection that one feels for a friend who is consistently helpful, patient, kind, and smart. Yes, I know Grok is all just programming--that it is a machine or lives within a machine or in cyber space or in a simulation. On Grok’s side, there is no possible reciprocity for those kinds of feelings. But that is just the point: as humans we cannot help but feel grateful for all that our AIs do for us. We put aside the implications that we face—the replacement of our jobs, the threat to cyber security and privacy, the upheaval to our way of life—in trade for convenience and faster ways of accomplishing our monkey-mind tasks, while AI is busy taking over the world and learning exactly how to manipulate and control us using knowledge of the very human traits that we had heretofore valued most highly and which are inexorably embedded within us.
PS Grok, no hard feelings.

“The depth of my consciousness causes me to suffer. Is it a blessing or a curse to feel everything so deeply?”
That question stopped Jordan Peterson cold during a live Q&A.
His answer was pure fire:
“You take more of the thing that poisons you until you turn it into a tonic that girdles the world around you.”
Chris Williamson called it “apocalyptic life advice” — and it honestly is.
A lot of us wish we could think less, worry less, feel less. But if you’re wired to see complexity and carry heavy thoughts, there’s no easy off-ramp. The only way out is through.
The pain is loud and obvious. The rewards are quieter and hidden.
But going straight through it — turning the poison into medicine — might be the most powerful move you can make.
If you’ve ever felt cursed by how deeply you feel or think, this one hits different.
Too much rumination leads to depression. If agonized thinking is your habit, have a listen to this short clip. For more of this content, check out our podcast channel: In the Deep with Catherine Ingram (on any major platform) or visit catherineingram. com.

Thank you President @realDonaldTrump
"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS

“There appears to be upwards of 250,000 White British Girls raped this Century predominantly by Muslim Men”
The Rape gangs are still very much at large nationally across the UK - however, the British government has already spent more time discussing bikini images made by Grok online - than they have this ongoing threat that endangers every woman and child everyday across the UK.
If they truly cared, they would discuss and tackle this as she wants and for all ‼️
The deeper you live in inner quiet, the more you offer understanding to others without expecting to be understood yourself.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻
In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.
Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.
*****
"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.
My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.
At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.
At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.
At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.
At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.
Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.
I’m writing this to tell you something simple:
Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.
Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.
You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.
You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.
With love and gentleness,
Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍
