Back of the envelope calculation: if Twitter is worth $44 billion and you are in the 1% of the 206 million daily active users responsible for generating the bulk of Twitter's value, your individual Twitter presence is worth, let's say, $20K. A nice supplemental freelance gig!

This shows how @richardmcolbeck spent three days at the Ashes. During that time 1,479 #agedcare residents contracted #COVID and 36 died from it. Almost 20,000 staff and residents now have it. Two thirds of all nursing home affected. Largest % of deaths. Why so little coverage?

There are 2,700 aged care homes in Australia. There are active COVID outbreaks in 1,107 of them. A monumental failure by the Commonwealth to protect some of Australia’s most vulnerable people. @amapresident @anmf_federal @theMJA @gerontologyau @AHSRI_UOW @ACSANational @abcnews

It's so sad that so many journalists contacted me yesterday to ask me about Djokovic. I've been in a cage for 9 years, I turn 24 today, and all you want to talk to me about is that.
Pretending to care by asking me how I am and then straight away asking questions about Djokovic.

Retweet if you've seen an Australian TV show, film or play, listened to an Australian band, or read an Australian book in the last year. And if you'd like to see more.
