So much bigotry and conspiratorial rubbish is posted by @elonmusk. A rotten human debasing public discourse because he thinks a Trump administration will mean more $$$ for him At what point do we accept that by staying on a platform he owns, we’re unwittingly aiding his efforts?

Ciao Rocco: A Pellegrini’s favourite is hanging up his apron after 50 years of service

Rocco Elice began working at the beloved Melbourne restaurant as a 21-year-old in 1974. He says his first $100 weekly pay packet was the biggest sum of money he’d seen.
