Stay fit and slim with a bucket load of speed.

Remember, corporate America (mostly) are the people who sold you cocaine, opium, morphine and heroin until they weren't allowed to anymore. Who sold you speed and downers over the counter until they couldn't anymore. Who sold you OxyContin until so many people had died that there was a public outcry and even then they tried to carry on. Who sold you Johnsons baby powder and destroyed you and your babies. Who sold you Nestle Infant Formula because you were poor and didn't count. Who now sell you processed food that is better off in the trash and would last a 1000 years in landfill. Who sell you guns to kill children. Who sell you AI to steal your job and rot your mind.

Hello from @penworks, my new home, moving over from @penworks@lor.sh, which is shortly closing down. I post about media culture and politics mostly from an alt-culture PoV. Also throwing in some creative coding, photography, abstract art and very rarely genAI art if its exceptional. I may use grown up words occasionally. I will share radical non compliance stuff in the fight against bigtech.

Australia's "podcast election" reveals digital strategy triumph: Gov't TikTok engagement DOUBLED opposition's reach while traditional media alliances faltered. "They spent too much time in friendly studios," says Prof. Rickardson. How do YOU consume political news? #MediaPolitics

@david_reid
Wonder who made the decision to defend.
?

It's been suggested that "some people" inside the ABC and in conservative politics are deliberately trying to degrade and damage the ABC's reputation.

The decision to defend seems to have had that effect.

Let's hang all the #DirtyLaundry out in public.
