"We urgently need truth in political advertising laws"

I agree....but come on it's not just liberals, its labor too and pretty much every other party.

Algorithms?

I’ve been receiving ad after ad about car batteries on my iPad after TALKING about it whilst using my ipad recently. No google searches , nothing at all related searched for .

Is this a thing I’m not aware of ?

Far more than coincidence.

I have heard things like this plenty of times recently blowin. Maybe Siri is much more of an assistant than we're sold. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Watching Pine Gap on Netflix. So far so good. Interesting to see the US, OZ, JINA relationship explored from an 'Intelligence' perspective, with an aussie flavour.

It looks like its going to happen, Elon Musk is going to buy Twitter.

I don't use the platform but a huge win for free speech, the man is an absolute legend, putting his money where his mouth is.

"Elon Musk has clinched a deal to buy Twitter for $US44 billion ($61.4 billion), in a transaction that will shift control of the social media platform populated by millions of users and global leaders to the world's richest person.

Key points:
The sale was unanimously approved by Twitter's 11 directors
Twitter shares rose about 6 per cent following the announcement
Donald Trump reportedly says he will not return to Twitter

Discussions over the deal — which last week appeared uncertain — accelerated over the weekend after Mr Musk wooed Twitter shareholders with financial details of his offer."

Trust you Guy Frowny , listen to his wife’s speech first ,….
….then post your usual uninformed comments…..if you still believe them to be true.
Violence to come…??? The total opposite is the case and a true turning point for americas belief in free speech.
She had 200,000 people in tears and millions more around the world likewise watching it on TV…..
I thought it was one of the greatest speeches I had heard in my lifetime.
A speech that will change the world….
Thats some lady.

I listened to some of her speech . She came across as full of revenge and hate , a most unchristian speech from someone that obviously hasn’t a clue about what Jesus taught . Charlie loved the Old Testament .

False accusations opti , she has made more than one speech . I posted a instagram clip of her speaking shortly after his death . I would say her minders rewrote another speech for her as criticism about her initial reaction wouldn’t have come across as Christian like . @opti , do you feel trump acts like a Christian ?

Before his assassination , I didn’t know anything about Charlie Kirk.
Since then, I’ve learned he loved to debate and would give the mike to his opponent so they could fully express their view.
Then, he would respond in his own style and the debate would progress.
He was a man who believed in faith, family, marriage and country….and especially
the freedom to express your view without violence.
That was his thing and many loved the message.
An age old message that is the root of America .
The America the world wanted to be like.
Before it corrupted itself.
So Charlie set a turning point…..to get back to basics…..faith, family, marriage and love of country…
His wife’s speech today is a special event….one worth watching before you start the debate …..she had the Mike first today…..and now it’s the worlds turn to respond…….she truly is a beautiful person……and her forgiveness of the killer put the world in tears.

Well, you are indoctrinated into the same thinking. You do run the same christian beliefs. I could easily see you as an Evangelical maga christian.

I will reserve my judgment for her actions in the coming months, words are meaningless without action . It’s amazing how much money is pouring in for donations to her and family, I think CK was worth about 12 million before he was murderered . Hate & division disguised as debate is a business in the USA . A very profitable business .

It’s all about money and using a dead Kirk as a beacon to spread basic turmoil amongst stupid maga morons. Trump doesn’t care about Kirk, it’s all about how a dead Kirk can help Trump and the right continue on their way.

Kirk was a con artist pushing religious bs wrapped up as free debate.
“Change my mind” yeah right.
He never ever had any desire to have his religion driven position changed. He was free to do as he did. What he did was for clicks and likes and the promotion of his ideal world view.

Kirk was also happy to spread hate and push anger as a valid tool. There is a reason he debated unprepared naive children on uni campus and never skilled intelligent debaters. When he went to Cambridge Uni he was proven to be an average debater at best.
