One political party is publicly admitting they're over the whole democracy thing and the former president is a Russian money-laundering asset who launched a coup and walked away without consequence.
Our political situation is one of the few things substantially more dramatic than the media portrayal.
Ok, maybe suss is Australian. I was surprised to see it listed with "on cap" because I've heard suss being said all my life by a wide range of people, but I did grow up in Australia.
Sorry if that seemed to be my intention. As I mentioned, all bodies are different and if you say that happens to you I'm perfectly willing to believe it.
However, there is also a common misunderstanding about this which seems relevant to mention.
The no doubt reputable "livelovefruit.com" claims "Milk and Mucus: Why Dairy is The Major Cause of Your Phlegm, Mucus and Congestion Issues" and then spends several paragraphs railing against diary industry science before citing some tangential studies.
"Milk and dairy product intake was not associated with an increase in upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms of congestion or nasal secretion weight." - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2154152/
"Excessive milk consumption has a long association with increased respiratory tract mucus production and asthma. Such an association cannot be explained using a conventional allergic paradigm and there is limited medical evidence showing causality. " - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19932941/
I would never claim to know what your body does but FYI there is a popular misconception that diary promotes snot. The idea is based on the magical principle that like attracts like, there's no evidence for it.
Interpret improvements as you like. For me it's any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite....
I would say that the legitimate process of seeking opportunities has been intentionally made to look illegal by waves of xenophobic policy from both Rs and Ds who have created an immigration system that's designed to generate workers without a legal foothold. If there was a functional way for people to seek the life they want, they wouldn't need to resort to fake IDs and hiding in trucks to get a job. But then industries would have to pay them legal wages.
A lot of people want to create a distinction between someone who's fleeing full-blown war or starvation vs someone who's fleeing poverty. I can't see how it is a crime to flee either. It is just a reality that humans will try to escape suffering, monumental suffering and everyday suffering - legislation and bureaucracy can accomodate or ignore that but it won't change it. So when we ignore it, we know that the black market will step in.
More broadly it suits the needs of capital to restrict the flow of labour as much as possible. Labour free to seek the best conditions means upward pressure on wages, lower margins and less leverage for capital.
presumably not the same cave he was having sex with
It was exactly the same cave he was having sex with. He refused to remove his penis to prevent their children from leaving the womb cave, so Kronos had to castrate Ouranos so they could emerge.
The IDF has already killed many many times more civilians, using many more missiles over many weeks, than Hamas has in a single major attack.
Despite that, this the cartoon depicts 3 panels of 3 missiles each from Hamas compared 1 panel of 1 missile from the IDF.
Given that overwhelming and disproportionate response has been Israeli policy for as long as I've been alive, it's fair to say that this comic deliberately misrepresents reality
This is one of the insights of the Daoist text the Zhuangzi. He talks a lot about the usefulness of uselessness in avoiding misery and exploitation.
"Enough!” said Woodworker Shi. “Say no more about it. It’s waste wood! Make a boat from it and it will sink; make a coffin from it and it will rot; make a utensil from it and it will break; make a gate from it and it will run sap; make a pillar from it and insects will infest it. You can’t make lumbar from such a tree; it’s useless! That is why it has lived to such an age.”
After Woodworker Shi returned home, the altar oak appeared to him in a dream. “What were you comparing me to? Did you mean to compare me to those lovely trees, like the sour cherry and pear, the tangerine and pomelo – fruit bearing trees that are ripped apart once their fruit ripens? Disgraced by all that ripping, their limbs split and their branches torn, they find only bitterness in life and end by dying before their natural years are up. They bring it on themselves, being torn up by the common crowd. It is thus for all types of things.

Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?
It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?...
