Why @GoogleAds did you bill me for $528.00 when I had a $10 spending limit enforced? Why did it suddenly not apply in January? You told me three times it was on via email? Your "support team" is absolutely doing my head in, going in circles.

The Government's U16 Social Media ban is now in effect. This means households with children cannot access certain sites. If they're connected via the NBN, should the government give these households a rebate, since they're now unable to access the entire World Wide Web?

Should politics be kept out of live music? If it was, would "punk" bands still be able to sell $60 t-shirts? @crushtor says that it's all for show, and the yoof revolution won't be televised, streamed, or happen at all for that matter libertyitch.com/p/punk-aint-…

The political Left will always use a state's monopoly on violence to stoke a monopoly of envy and rule with a monopoly on fear, as @crushtor writes: libertyitch.com/p/a-monopoly…

This was so fun, thanks @DannyKing14!
Cancelled! We talked to author Danny King, author of 'Cancelled - A Shape of Things to Come', nominated by the Libertarian Futurist Society for the Prometheus Awards Best Novel. An enlightening, funny, and non-PC chat! libertyitch.com/p/ep13-cance…
