I’m Jewish. I live in Bondi. But I take no comfort from Herzog’s visit Not all Jews welcome the arrival of Israel’s president in Australia. I am one who believes he will divide us at a time we need cohesion. It is the type of position that has cost me friends.

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day

Take care of yourself, not just the version the world sees, but the quiet parts too.
You don’t have to be strong all the time.
You’re not broken. You’re human.

They have far too many racists and religious fanatics

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

What he said: 💯 🎯

I have a different take on this to most commenters after watching US politics closely all year.. Trump is so very dangerous. What does Australia have to do to appease him and remain safe? How far do they need to go? What lengths will they go to? What will be both enough and not too much?
