Purplepingers is an anti-landlord activist currently running for the Australian Senate with the Victorian Socialists party: https://pingers4parliament.com/

He’s previously done a lot of ‘naming and shaming’ of landlords (https://www.shitrentals.org/) and compiled lists of unused properties that people could squat in.

Reading between the lines, this video is encouraging people to fuck with properties rented out through Airbnb, or at least trying to mess with the heads of the ‘hosts’.

Poll is open / reopened, possibly?

Government pledges $2.9m to help suppliers stand up to supermarkets

By Josefine Ganko

As the ACCC supermarkets report reveals how the duopoly exerts power over consumers and suppliers, the government has announced $2.9 million in funding for produce industry associations to support education programs that will empower farmers to enforce their rights under the Food and Grocery Code.

Speaking at a press conference in Canberra, Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the funding was about “strengthening the arms” of the groups that represent farmers and producers.

“We want to make sure that when our supermarkets are negotiating with our farmers, that we can strengthen the arguments of the people who produce our food.”

Chalmers added that Labor’s move to make the code mandatory and to introduce bigger penalties would also benefit suppliers.

Assistant Minister for Competition Andrew Leigh added that there were particular concerns around fresh food producers being required to agree to annual contracts, but then being subjected to week-to-week bidding, with the notion they will face much lower prices at the markets if the big supermarkets don’t stock their produce.

“This new initiative does ensure that the suppliers are going into those negotiations better able to take on the big supermarkets,” Leigh said.

They’re going to open late pledges. See this post here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/745810196/deep-rock-galactic-high-quality-mugs-50cl/posts/4339171

Gotta keep the working class divided somehow, because if we’re united…

@jabathekek@sopuli.xyz Did you hear back about the quote request?

I was half-expecting the video to be this one 😆: https://youtube.com/watch?v=lm1Xm2Iupzo

Absolutely. Some of those fucked-up stars look like maple or cannabis leaves 😆 It’s not like Palmer couldn’t have afforded an illustrator, either. Right-wing boomers just love AI garbage for some reason.

Oh, and as a bonus, the Latin is wrong 😆

The tariffs started at 3pm today

Barcode numbers can sort of give an indication.

The first three digits are determined by the country the barcode was assigned in. The barcode can’t tell you the country of origin of the product, but it’s fairly likely the company that made the product is headquartered in the country indicated by the code (or at least has some administrative presence there).

Here’s a list of country codes for reference: https://www.barcodestalk.com/learn-about-barcodes/resources/barcode-country-codes

Here’s a Snopes article about what the country codes can’t tell you: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bar-code-origin-point/
