@elonmusk Why so narcissistic and vacuous? ‘Your’ wealth could end worldwide hunger and poverty yet you spend all your time simping for @realDonaldTrump (or vice versa…)

I have a hard time believing that anyone would say, as @elonmusk did, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." In fact, the fundamental weakness is a lack of empathy. Many years ago, a spiritual director told me that sympathy is understanding how you

@WallStreetMav @elonmusk You realise when Trump is talking about “transgender surgery on mice” is about transgenic research using mice. The same genetic research using the best ‘model organism’ that’s been the norm since I did a biotechnology degree in the 90s. But keep doubling down with President dumb.

@crabgrassfarmer @penisbanditman @DenisonBarbs @Acyn It was a UK reporter not an Aussie reporter. Fancy coping hard about accents when you can’t get any right except your own. And some of us who look at politics beyond their backyard in a less simple way have been aware of AUKUS for years. How very unsurprisingly insular all up.

@FortenberryLFTP @EthanHi28669514 @etfree @ibaird @esjesjesj My replies were to the stay at home quip 😉 though I didn’t actually mention covid (oops, it’s late at night and Australia Day involves beer). But genuinely, the covid discrepancy re US/AU at the time was pretty crazy, our numbers only rose to not even 1 per 1k post normalcy.

@FortenberryLFTP @EthanHi28669514 @etfree @ibaird @esjesjesj Is that per cases or per capita? I’m looking at per capita (as in total population). The various US stats I’ve read from multiple sources across multiple dates are between 3 and 3.5 per 1k head of population and the AU stats are between 0.4 and 0.9 per 1k head of population).

@FortenberryLFTP @EthanHi28669514 @etfree @ibaird @esjesjesj It’s actually quite shocking that there’s such a disparity between two supposed first world countries. We’re not perfect here, but something was wrong with the delayed response there and an inability for the health system to manage, coordinate, and cope.

@FortenberryLFTP @EthanHi28669514 @etfree @ibaird @esjesjesj The USA had 3548 deaths per million (over one million dead), the 17th worst country’s death rate per capita in the world. Australia had 963 deaths per capita, the 114th worst in the world. And no, the whole country wasn’t ‘forced to stay home’ far from it (my state had one week).

@mel_wright123 @senatorbabet Indeed. He seems to be unaware of both recent and historical aspects of the Olympics. Confected and completely insincere outrage in order to attempt the reeling in of what few ultra-conservatives there are in Australia to attempt boosting of his primary vote numbers beyond 4000.
