"Usenet Reborn" is an Usenet and NNTP TUI client in Rust language, in alpha stage!
- sr.ht/~rek2/Usenet_Reborn/
Now that I have a 1.0.1 released for my #NNTP library called "rek2_nntp" crates.io/crates/rek2_nntp was able to go ahead and get "Usenet Reborn" client in a usable stage a brand new #usenet client in #TUI format using the #ratatui #rust #libs not a rust expert so patches are WELLCOME to both projects! #hackers #hackerculture #decentralization

These are the candidates running in my electorate.
Four candidates from what I call ‘crazies’ parties
Four Independents I would lump as progressive #Libs
Two in the #National Party box
Three standing for #progressive social policies
(I’ll let you guess which candidate I’ve pidgeon holed in the above boxes)

3 out of 13 says all there is to say about politics in regional Australia. We just gotta do better folks or we’ll be voting idiots in forever.

Summary is I can only vote for three of them with conviction. The remainder will all have to fight for the last place on my ballot (the Libertarian ONLEY is running favourite for that honour)

Let’d get it over with… #AusElection25

More evidence that the #Libs’ strategy is not about policies but about pictures, sountbites & vibes. We should be used to this by now.

They do this because it works. Same as circus Donald: it’s not about economics or governance, it’s about #distraction as cover for accelerating #plunder in times of crisis. 🎪🎡🤡 #AusPol

ABC News · The Coalition doesn't have long to get clear on its policies before pre-polling beginsBy Laura Tingle

From Laura Tingle: this week has been an assessment of basic competence.

In which the #ALP shows it can perform actual governance alongside campaigning for reelection, while the #Libs demonstrate incompetence at both. Independent candidates, please take note.

I wonder for how long the media #DistractionMachine can effectively obscure this?

ABC News · We've all talked about potential economic consequences for Australia of Trump's policies. Now they're happeningBy Laura Tingle

For #Labor it’s about politics. The #Libs are just clowns. The team sport is a distraction.

Offering tax cuts to low income earners is great. But while both major parties support policies that abandon the most vulnerable among us to abject poverty while siphoning billions in tax breaks & other benefits to those who are most wealthy - AND pretending that climate catastrophe is not an existential threat to everything in our collective future - this whole budget discussion is a sideshow.

We need our governments to do so much better. #AusPol

Labor’s budget tax cuts make good economic sense – and have backed Dutton and Taylor into a political corner theguardian.com/business/grogo

"This Is Your Moment, America"

This is a must read for #Dems and #libs who still think rule of law and bipartisanship are a thing. How many will take up arms and fight back when troops are ordered to fire on protestors? How many will take up arms when friends and family are "disappeared?" How many will dig tank traps when homes of the resistance are shelled? How many of you even have the tools needed to fight back?

WhoWhatWhy · America Needs a Patrick Henry Moment to Fight Trump’s Tyranny - WhoWhatWhyToday is the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me liberty or give me death” speech. In light of Donald Trump’s march toward authoritarianism, his words are as important now as they were then.

As much as I'm not a #trump fan, fucking #libs can never admit that ukraine is a losing battle and #russia can always escalate to nuclear #war. #ukraine can not negotiate peace from a position of power, only the expectation of ending the war sooner rather than later. And I don't like putin either but this is dumb to push ukraine to keep on fighting, keep on sending men to their death, keep on owing other countries for military equipment, and essentially keep on losing ground.
