  • Invest in you old age: Superannuation or some other savings device. You need to put on as much as you possibly can as soon as you can but this needn't mean you plow all your income into it straight away. Transfer or invest as little as $20 per week initially, you'll never miss it and after a few weeks or months keep increasing the amount till you've reached your ceiling. Reinvest your earnings or dividends, compound interest is a beautiful thing.

  • Tommy Robinson jailed for contempt of court
  • You mean: Stephen Christopher Yaxley or possibly Andrew McMaster or perhaps Paul Harris or Wayne King (giggity) or even Stephen Lennon? My God this weirdo can't even decide what to call himself. How about we just agree to call him a fascist dickhead? I think that's appropriate.

  • Before Election Day, Trump is increasingly sowing doubts about the results
  • Of course he is, I knows his chances of actually winning the popular vote is next to zero (again) so he's doing everything he can to try and save his orange arse. Because he knows that if he doesn't win then the best he can hope for is spending the next four years inside a variety of courthouses.

  • IMF warns UK is at risk of 'adverse market reaction' without action on debt
  • You're sorta right. The economies of sovereign nations are not particularly similar to small households, however continuously incurring debt without raising significant revenue will kneecap a country's economy (eg the UK). Rather than focusing exclusively on debt the IMF should be strongly encouraging countries like the UK to drive up revenue by all means. The most obvious way of doing this is by raising taxes. The IMF is, however, in the thrall of big money which is fundamentally opposed to tax's.

  • How easy would it be for a foreign power to use inexpensive bot nets to amplify misinformation on a truly industrial scale on what are, essentially, unregulated social media platforms? Turns out the results are in and (a) it's very easy and (b) it's incredibly effective at sowing distrust and fear.

    Yes, there are many people in our society that a good but there's also the willfully ignorant (and under educated) bullies who's whole lives have been based on the flawed premise that they are simply better than everyone else.

    Tina Peters is the outstanding example of this type of person. She wasn't "brainwashed" or somehow changed. Her actions were a result of her deep seated belief that she is somehow more important, more worthy than anyone else. Trumpism simply gave these people an "acceptable" way of acting out on their world view.

  • Trump election conspiracist Tina Peters sentenced to 9 years in prison by Colorado judge
  • Well, he did have to put up with her being in the same court room as him. Personally, I feel sorry for the Judge, he didn't deserve this.

    The attacks were confirmed on Telegram by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who said warehouses storing ammunition, including powerful glide bombs, were hit and that "information regarding the destruction of air-defense equipment and enemy aviation is being clarified."

    Hundreds of Russian Troops Are Cut Off In A Vovchansk Chemical Plant As Ukrainian Glide Bombs Rain Down

    It’s the Ukrainians’ turn to bomb Russian positions into rubble.

    Hundreds of Russian troops are surrounded in a chemical plant in Vovchansk, the main battleground in Russia’s northern offensive.

    At least 30 of the Russians surrendered over the weekend. The others have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. And now the Ukrainian air force has taken aim at them—with precision glide bombs.

    mastodon-uk.net The Telegraph (@TelegraphBot@mastodon-uk.net)

    Attached: 1 image 🔴NEW: Western tanks launch 'massive' assault on Russian defences https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/07/27/ukraine-russia-war-latest-counter-offensive-black-sea-ports/ Original tweet : https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1684509416517779456

    The Telegraph (@TelegraphBot@mastodon-uk.net)

    Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had managed to breach through defensive lines in places south of Orikhiv, a town around 6 miles north of Roboytne.

    It is a sign Kyiv has decided to commit thousands of well-trained troops, previously held back in anticipation for a breakthrough, to the assault.

    it was fun Reddit but it's over

    Ya know what? I'm really enjoying Lemmy. The Fediverse is (at present) smaller than Reddit but feels welcoming and at the same time much more "exclusive" (?). It's just that you have to make the effort to join the Fediverse.. ..and I'm not going back. I'm getting as much out of Lemmy as I was getting from RIF but it's somehow much more fun. Cya Reddit it was fun but it's over.
