Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Politicians really should avoid going on podcasts.

More nonsense to keep the lemmings distracted....

I would also shag Kylie Minogue. I'm allowed to say that though because 1. We will never meet and 2. She is not my constituent.

It's such a non-story though.

Albanese initially declined to answer, noting he had recently married. But when Osborne pressed him on what he would say if his marriage were to end, he replied: "Oh, Kylie, clearly."

Further asked to confirm whether he meant he would marry, sleep with or date the singer, Albanese said: "All of the above. She's terrific."

I mean that's just regular banter.

The conclusion here is that all politicians should go on podcasts, not avoid them. Better yet, have them each host an 8 hour just chatting live stream monthly. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can keep the mask on that long. Also, to preempt the lie that they’re too busy, they must provide justification for missing a stream.

I’m only being slightly hyperbolic.

While his opinion is perfectly valid, that's not the kind of thing you say in a podcast if you're a public personality
