Reading about John Stuart Mill, listening to the Philosopher's Song, and drinking beer at happy hour prices. I feel I am doing liberty right lol

twistey timey

I've been remiss is promoting a brand new anthology from Blue Beatrix Books!!! This time around I imagine a world where Penthesilea defeats Achilles, and seats herself down as Queen on cold throne of the dead love whose name she never spoke

National day of mourning

Was a moving experience stopping training to show our respect and observe a minute's silence as we think of all our fellow Aussies dealing with the impact of this tragedy, and all those we lost. May their memory be a blessing.

If anyone knows who to credit for this, please let me know!

I am not into criticising modern players because they aren't players of the past....but there are at least three players I'd pay to see play T20. Here's one.

Right?!??

Lol

Lol the 80s

He man

May every He-Man find a Courtney Cox who looks at him like this.

It is one of the very best movies, and also responsible for one of my favorite pieces of film criticism

I refuse to believe your nameless and convenient example trumps the countless names I can list. But maybe that is unreasonable of me, and I am being hateful to those poor persecuted billionaires. I will think on it in the exile of your muting.

Some thoughts to comfort my US friends right now- Hitler had Guderian and von Manstein. Trump has Hegseth and Miller. I wouldn't be too worried lol

2/2 without you - or someone acting for you - doing dubious things. Ask him - if he is as upright as you believe he will be honest with you. It might not even be what he wanted- it's just the way the system works. I am not sure why you are invested in pretending that's not the case, but it just is

I am not going to call you a liar because maybe you believe what you are saying. At some point on the road he would have paid less tax than he should, or broken labor laws, or got some official to think more kindly of him. He may not be pond scum like Musk but u don't accrete that sort of money 1/2

Welcome fellow sojourner in the sleepless lands of the brain's night

He may live a decent life now but you don't get there doing that. But, I am sure that your personal acquaintance who you won't name proves my argument wrong beyond doubt - amazing that all the billionaires people will name seem to support my argument.

And in case you think that's a partisan sledge - i literally had to write a report for the AGD department last night outlining the findings of their audit into that stuff lol

However, Albo is reaping what he sowed. He campaigned on transparency and accountability but delivered neither - i am not a liberal voter, its just a fact that FOI denials etc have grown exponentially under this government. He has adopted an habitually secretive approach 2things& this is the result

Thank you - I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day lol

Bring it on and find out that John Henry is not just what I keep in my pants but how i deal with machines, you bellend bot (btw i also think i love you)

Lol you haven't been paying attention. Partisan politicking? COVID? the voice? This is nothing new...just the same gross shit

Is "intel" what you kids are calling it these days?

When the Labor leader has a Sir in front of his name, and the Conservative leader is a POC woman...shit really has gotten weird

Okay now you've gone too far. Bluey is a goddamn national treasure

Arnie

You didn't have a childhood so why would it concern you? Or is it the yearning for something you will never know? PS if you reply you are agreeing to pay me...ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS

Of course they would. The chance the therapist could be a real live woman is too much to risk - encountering one in the wild that isn't related to them or in some sort of financial arrangement to restrain their behaviour is their greatest fear, after all

They will get there's.

You don't get to be a billionaire without shafting people on the way up and doing shady things (like not paying taxes or or on the back of someone else's work). That is not a bias, it is a simple fact. jobs, musk, gates, whoever - they have left a trail of slime behind them. Prove me wrong if u can
