The first moment to get a Twitter account came when Elon Musk took over and prompted a mass exodus of the Left's in-house speech enforcers, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant among them. Now that the Coalition has joined Labor in seeking to limit what Australians can say and see, getting an account is an essential act of defiance

The free world has only recently regained India from the brink of Soviet-aligned post-colonial socialism, and although the country is safe from Chinese influence, it is as vulnerable to the subversive ideologies of Western wokeism as any other open society. Given the mega-rich's affection for Harvard, maybe more so

"Their chief prosecutor was some wise guy named Shokin, and Dad said he was one bad dude -- just like Corn Pop -- and he had to go. So I went to Kiev, put on the speakerphone, and got the Big Guy on the line. Six hours later, Shokin was gone"

Disney execs confirmed their intent to repudiate the studio's formula when they opted to remake Snow White with actors rather than animations. Keep the dwarves? That would be regressive.
