Financial expert puts it plainly: “We’re probably in a... hard time here in Australia. When you look at our real GDP, it’s minimal, I think it was 0.3% last quarter. And from a per capita basis, we are in recession. So what is propping our economy up currently is immigration.” This has been going on for years - immigration without productivity growth drives prices up and living standards down. This is the only type of economic growth this government knows - the type that makes life worse for the people already here.show more

The RBA estimates our economy can only grow 2.1%... without causing inflation (referred to as economic speed limit). Alan Kohler summarises the issue well: “So why is the speed limit only 2.1% growth? Because of low productivity. It’s actually lower now than it was 10 years ago. And the only way to achieve higher growth without inflation is by increasing productivity. Which is the job for government policy.”show more

Controlling immigration was in our manifesto. It’s what is... expected of this Government. A top priority is delivering secure borders, we would not accept thousands barging through the barriers at Heathrow and we will not accept it at our sea borders. This is a security issue.show more

WE built Australia for OUR people, not for Indians.... 1 in every 5 humans on Earth are Indian. Meanwhile Europeans are ethnically cleansed in our own homelands & are reaching extinction levels. If this continues, Indians will eventually make up the majority across the West. This is NOT immigration, this is a mass invasion. -Abstatsshow more

Hi Abbie! Here’s some clarification… Our concerns: 1. Immigration... puts pressure on housing, specifically the rental market, and contributes to housing stress. 2. Immigration puts pressure on wage growth, specifically lower skilled and already low paying jobs. 3. Immigration with no anti-ethnic clustering policies result in reduced social cohesion and the degradation of our culture. To summarise, cost of living pressure from mass immigration is very real and in addition to that we are concerned about the real time loss of the what once was a potent Australian identity. Solutions / Demands: 1. Reduce temporary visa holders by atleast 1 million. 2. Link immigration to a national housing affordability index. 3. Implement social integration policies for new arrivals along with anti-ethnic clustering policies. Immigrants aren’t the problem, our immigration program is! Hope that helps Ms Chatfield!

The k- drama We Are All Trying Here is... a must watch I know some people will watch one episode and call it boring. Because It’s not fast paced. It’s slice of life in the most literal sense people sitting in rooms with their envy, their 20 year old dreams that never launched, their friends who made it while they didn’t. It’s quiet. It’s slow. It lingers on silences. But that’s exactly why it gutted me. Because this show understands the war you don’t talk about. The one where you open Instagram at 2am and feel like a failure. Where you’ve been “trying” for years and the world still doesn’t know your name. Hwang Dong-man, twenty years into film school, still no debut. Byeon Eun-ah, called “The Axe” because she has to kill other people’s dreams for a living. Everyone in this drama is carrying some private worthlessness, some comparison they can’t shake. It’s not entertaining in the way K-dramas usually are. It’s uncomfortable. It holds up a mirror to the parts of you that feel behind, bitter, unseen. But that’s why it’s so relatable. That’s why I think everyone should watch it. On the outside, life looks fine but inside, everyone is struggling in their own way. And I think that’s what makes it so relatable. We spend so much time pretending we’re fine, pretending we’re winning. We Are All Trying Here just. admits it. We’re all scared we’re wasting our lives. We are all anxious. We’re all trying here. And maybe that’s enough to start with. #Wearealltryinghereshow more

The UFO/UAP phenomenon is ancient. It has been here... long before us, and it is connected to a grand hierarchy created by God. They are coming from higher dimensions, something that religions would describe as the Tree of Life. The phenomenon is part of us, and our soul is part of this grand system. We are currently in the lowest dimension, chakra, sefirot, or part of the soul, known as Malkhut in Kabbalah, Muladhara in Hinduism, and Khat in ancient Egypt. We are made of matter, but our soul is made of fire, and it is time for an upgrade. The Geophysical Event is connected to this transformation.show more

As I sit here in DC this week, we... are closer to something I was not sure I would ever see. I have been working in this industry since 2015. For most of those years, the defining feature of crypto in Washington was not policy. It was the absence of it. A gray zone where serious people built serious things under a constant cloud, never quite sure which rules applied or whether the ground would move beneath them. This week the CLARITY Act sits on the Senate calendar. A federal framework for digital asset market structure, the thing this industry has wanted for the better part of a decade, is closer than it has ever been. It is not law yet, and there are real hurdles left. But the distance between where we stood a few years ago and where we are sitting today is hard to put into words. I keep thinking about the work that got us here. Over the past year I watched Chainlink move from outside these conversations to inside them. Sergey at the White House for the signing of the GENIUS Act. The Department of Commerce putting government economic data onchain. Meetings with the SEC that became real interpretive guidance. Conversations with the lawmakers now writing the rules. None of that happens by accident. It happens because people keep showing up, year after year, and make the case in rooms where it is not yet obvious. And there is something fitting in it. The entire premise of what we build is verification. Making truth provable. Removing the question of what is real. The work here in DC is the same thing in a different form. Trading a decade of ambiguity for something the industry has never actually had. We are not at the finish line. But sitting here, it is hard not to feel the weight of it. The gray zone is ending. What comes next is something this industry has never had. Clarity.show more

MARI YEZIMBABWE IS HERE It is here. Not a... whisper from across the ocean. Not a borrowed idea wearing borrowed clothes. It is here. It is our own. And for the first time in a long time, we are not looking over our shoulder for permission. We are embracing it fully. Ko ndoyeduzve. There it is. It fits. That it was always meant to arrive at this shore, at this time. For about two years now, it has been showing its pedigree. Not with fanfare. Not with declarations. But quietly. Steadily. It has held its own space fully, like a tree that does not need to announce its roots. It simply stands.show more

The situation in the Middle East right now is... serious, and many people in the region are going through uncertain times. Dubai and the entire Gulf region have always been incredibly important for our films and for our boss. Millions of Indians live and work there, and a massive fan base of Rocking Star stands proudly in that region. For a film of this scale, the experience is meant to be shared together by fans across the world at the same time. When such a large section of our audience is facing tension and uncertainty, it only makes sense to wait for the right moment so everyone can celebrate the film together in theatres. This decision shows responsibility and respect for fans everywhere. Cinema is about bringing people together, and the goal is for every fan, whether in India, Dubai, or anywhere in the world, to enjoy the experience without worry. Real fans understand this. The celebration will be bigger when the time is right. 🔥show more

BREAKING: Lutnick: "Trump's economy grew 4.3%. That means that... Americans overall, all of us, are going to earn 4.3% more money. OMFG! How the hell is he the Commerce Sec? FACT CHECK: “The economy grew 4.3%, so Americans will earn 4.3% more money.” ❌ No. That is not how any of this works. - This is like saying Amazon’s revenue went up, so warehouse workers all got raises. Everyone knows that’s nonsense. - GDP growth ≠ wage growth. GDP measures total economic output — not paychecks, not salaries, not your bank account. - Quarterly GDP is “annualized.” That 4.3% figure may represent one strong quarter, extrapolated, not a guaranteed year-long trend. - GDP can rise while real wages fall. This happens all the time, especially when inflation outpaces wage growth.show more

Before every training session, the Sudanese national team lines... up and the captain shouts "السودان يعيش" (Sudan Ya3ish) which means "Sudan is alive". This is a tradition that predates the war in Sudan but is a symbol that has taken on a whole new meaning in the last three years. Everyone in this team knows someone who has been killed in the war and they have been in exile for three years. And yet they are here at the AFCON, getting to the Ro16 and competing with the very best on the continent. For me, Sudan have already achieved more at this AFCON than any other team. السودان يعيشshow more

Some videos don’t just make you uncomfortable. They make... you stop and ask what kind of society we’ve become. I watched this and felt a deep sadness settle in my chest. Not anger first. Not political rage. Just grief. Grief for the little ones who never get the chance to take a breath, and grief for the women who are being told this is empowerment when it looks a whole lot more like something darker. Scripture doesn’t dance around the value of life. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” “Children are a heritage from the Lord.” “You shall not murder.” We’ve reached a place where some celebrate the decision to end a life that is already fully formed, already capable of feeling pain, already made in the image of God… and they smile while they do it. That should never feel normal. It should never feel progressive. It should never feel like freedom. Real freedom is the courage to protect the weakest among us. Real strength is the woman who chooses life even when it’s hard. Real progress is a culture that refuses to sacrifice its children on the altar of convenience. I’m not here to shame anyone who’s already walked through this pain. God’s mercy is bigger than our worst decisions. But I am here to say out loud what too many are afraid to say: This is not healthcare. This is not compassion. This is not the America our grandparents fought to protect. Vote for life. Pray for life. Speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Because if we stay silent while the most innocent are discarded, we will answer for it. Lord, give us hearts that break for what breaks Yours. Restore the fear of God in this land. And protect every child still waiting to be born.show more

I'm a 35-year-old American I've lived in Argentina for... 5 months so far in 2025 Here are the some things I like more about Argentina than the USA: -It's SIGNIFICANTLY easier to make friends in Argentina. Seriously, I lived in Colorado for the last 10 years, and I was beginning to think I was some fucking weirdo bc of how small my social circle was. The social life here is just so organic. If you're not a weirdo, you just attract friends...especially as an ex-pat. Everyone is always about milling around the city, playing sports, drinking mate, going to cafes/boliches/concerts/events. I don't know why, but in 5 months here, my social circle is already bigger and stronger than the one I had in 10 years in Denver, Colorado. -Politics isn't life here. There's some type of weird brain virus that's destroying the minds of the American people. Politics has seeped into every aspect of the culture fabric and it's become this weird, unavoidable daily reality. In Argentina, the people are well-informed about politics and global affairs, but it doesn't dominate the conversation. Very refreshing for me. -People are generally healthier and more beautiful. In general, the Argentines are some healthy, skinny, beautiful mf's. The men, the women, everyone. No radical Ozempic intervention is required here. -People have less money, but more time and more soul. Average wages here are absolute shite, and so is the Argentine Peso...but people seem to have more time, more energy and less stress, generally. People in the USA have a lot of money, but not a lot of soul. Here it;s the opposite. I've confronted some of the dark aspects of the economic realities here, but generally people are extremely present, laid back and "amable". I'd describe the people here as passionate "life-enjoyers." They are passionate about everything they do. They do it with gusto, soul, and UMPH. Mate - We love that shit Soccer - Hell yeah Hanging out at the park with some dogs - WE Live for this shit Living here has made me appreciate my life so much more. It's a very life-affirming place that gets you in touch with what actually matters.show more

I am currently at home in Busia. This is... Busia Sewage treatment plant in Mauko Farmview Burumba ward that has been left to deteriorate over the years. Back then, when I was a young kid, this was a beautiful scenery. We used to come here and relax. We also took our village salads for a picnic here. South of the plant is a stream that pours down to river Suo with pours to river Nzoia then to the great Lake Victoria. This is a health hazard to my people. North of the plant Ruto is building affordable housing that will pour its sewer here. It is my request that the sewage plant be renovated and sewer treated.

I’m still riding the high from today. The Tulsa... Oilers Jewish Heritage Game was incredible. It was one of those rare moments that makes you feel like you’re watching the American promise actually happen in real time. Because what happened in that arena was simple, and it was enormous. We lived openly and proudly as Jews. In public. In our city. With joy. With confidence. With thousands of our neighbors cheering alongside us. There are moments lately when Jews are reminded, sometimes subtly, sometimes not, that we’re “supposed” to keep it down. Don’t be too visible. Don’t be too proud. Don’t ask for too much. Today was the opposite of that. Today was: we’re here. Today was: we belong. Today was: we’re proud. I looked around that arena and felt my chest tighten from emotion. That blue jersey with the Magen David. And we didn’t just have a fun night, we made history. This is the first time Jewish Heritage Game jerseys have been worn in a professional sports game. Think about that. In Tulsa. In 2026. With a packed arena. With our neighbors joining in. With Jewish pride celebrated. And what moved me most was this. It wasn’t only Jews wearing it. So many of our non-Jewish neighbors wore it too. If you’re Jewish, you know that’s not just “nice.” That’s deeply meaningful. The Magen David carries memory. It carries history. It carries everything our people have walked through. To see it worn proudly, by people who simply wanted to say, “We’re with you. You belong here,” was a kind of decency that restores your faith in people. That’s Tulsa. And it’s also America at its best. A country where you don’t have to erase yourself to belong, where identity isn’t a liability, where you can be fully who you are and still be fully part of the “we.” I’m proud of Jewish Tulsa. Proud of how our community showed up, joyful, confident, unafraid to celebrate who we are. And I’m proud of this city. Proud of the Tulsa Oilers organization for doing this with excellence and heart. Proud of Tulsa for showing up and making it real. Our identity is something we receive, carry, and hand to our kids stronger than we found it. Today that felt real and tangible. So yes, the game was incredible. But what I’ll remember is the feeling. Proud to be Jews. Proud to be Americans. Proud to be Tulsans. A huge thank you to Michael A. Sachs for the vision and heart that went into making this possible. Yasher Koach brother! And a heartfelt thank you to the Tulsa Oilers Hockey club for helping Jewish Tulsa celebrate this community and our city.show more

Trick-or-Treating is not dead, just concentrated and organized. In... our neighborhood, residents are advised to buy 1500 pieces of candy. That is usually not enough, so we end up closing early. The line in this video will last for two hours, and at a strict one piece per child, will consume our 30-lb stockpile. We are the White neighborhood surrounded by non-white neighborhoods. If you want this for your neighborhood, you must make a production of it. Ask the police to barricade the street, and announce it in the newspaper.show more
