Dear @amazonprimenow @amazon Please know that my cancellation of #AmazonPrime had nothing to do with POTUS & everything to do with your continued broadcasting of #NRATV. I will not support a company that promotes hate speech which endangers all American lives. #EndTheNRA...

It bears repeating: If you are not paying for news or social media, you are not the customer. You are the product being sold. Pay for news directly. Support good journalism. But stop pretending that cable news or your blog of choice are anything but ad platforms.

So late to all this, but fascinating to watch the commentator who crucified a prime minister when she was mourning the death of her father, and who encouraged footy fans to boo an Australian of the Year, draw civility’s line in the sand for the cricket captain who cheated.https://twitter.com/AlanJones/status/979516139519721472 …

Today was the first lockdown drill at my son’s kindergarten. They called it “the silent game.” At his request, he and I will be marching this Saturday, and we won’t be silent, and it’s not a game.

#Insiders had 574000 viewers Sunday - that’s more than any Network Ten program for the whole of Sunday, according to Crikey. Well done team

Happy Commonwealth Day to 2.435 billion people bound together by a dream of getting their stuff back from the British Museum.

It's been 3 weeks since the Stoneman Douglas massacre. The media has already slowed their coverage of the tragedy to a crawl We promised that this time would be different Let's Make it Different Don't stop TWEETING your support of these kids & your disgust w/ the NRA RETWEET

think i need to see one more portrayal of churchill to really get a sense of the guy.

Here's an oped idea for anyone who wants to write it: "Rethinking the idea of International Women's Day breakfasts: how expensive events at 7am in the middle of the city are about the most exclusionary event you could design full stop, let alone in the name of feminism".

Yoko, just admit you were late.https://twitter.com/yokoono/status/967090681662623745 …

After every massacre, there’s inevitable talk about Australian gun laws post-1996 and how successful they’ve been at reducing gun violence, homicides and suicides. Also a lot of misinformation about ‘bans’ and such. Here’s what actually happened and what it means today:

Think back to all the teachers you ever had. Which ones do you think should have had a gun in the classroom?
