I feel like their latest is a bit more refined than the previous albums. Probably my favourite.

Yep... the law applies differently for the ruling class and the rich vs the rest. Basically a question of how many people are going to protect you.

It's fucked.

I think the precedent was already set... this is just a continuation of the status quo, unfortunately.

However, I agree with your second point. The NACC, if it had any credibility, has shed any pretence about changing the paradigm.

Scomo off the Robodebt hook - Michael West The NACC delivered its report into Robodebt referrals today. Scott Morrison and Stephanie Foster found not to be corrupt.

Just goes to prove that when more than one person's to blame, no-one's at fault.

This is our version of the Post Office Scandal - and it is a disgrace that we can't hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions or inactions.

To: People who write phone apps for companies

Put the name of the company in front of the name of the app... finding it can be a pain otherwise.

eg: "Connect". It's a Garmin app.
eg: "Headphone". Yamaha app.

Stop making shit hard to find.

Anyone looking for some good metalcore would be well-served giving the latest albums by 'ERRA' and 'Divine Threat' a listen.

Also, there's a new 'Threat Signal' album due soon. Check that out too.

Strong chance some of it never crossed their minds.

No accountability from the people who were on charge - of course.

Just scapegoats.

Or more accurately, the fraud of a system that pretty much only presents frauds to vote for.

There are times and a places for ramp shots in cricket.

When your playing a Test match, your team trails by 90 odd one the first innings, you're already two down and you're one of your team's best bats on 14 (from 14) is not one of them.

Bad brainfade there Jemima.

It'd be funny if Iranian leadership started saying to Americans that it is time to take to the streets and throw off the chains of their authoritarian dictator.

If they are still employed, he still has some control.

He may have learned his lesson from John Bolton.

Dumb cricket commentary. With two tail-enders at the crease "These two batters need to hang around so the Aussie bowlers can put their feet up."

I'm constantly on the hunt for new bands to listen to. Fortunately, it is a golden age for music at the moment (unfortunately, I can only listen to one thing at a time).

I believe you don't really get old until you stop listening to new (at least to you) music.

Somehow I skipped that album... I went straight from Bat to Bigod.

What do you think of their latest album?

Every time they talk, I can guarantee that Vlad tells Trump what great friends they are and Trump agrees.

Fair assessment.

Clearly the algorithmically-produced manospherists are numerous.

It is very rare to come across someone in the gender/feminism/parenting discourse who is (imo!) offering a fresh, sane, and useful perspective. So I was delighted when, a few months ago, I came across Elena Bridgers’ Substack. Review here: theinternetreviewed.substack.com/p/inconvenie...

They're pretty much a single-issue voting bloc... whatever pisses off "liberals" is good, regardless of any inconsistencies or hypocrisy it may result in.

Ministerial Statements: Iraq MINISTERIAL STATEMENTS: Iraq10 February 2003Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler) (7.07 p.m.) Ò€”The end of the Cold War brought the prospect of international stability and peace. The world community had great hope...

Anthony Albanese once held strong views on the legality and wisdom of attacking countries in the middle-east.

The last 22 years - and perhaps the fact he could previously make these statements from the safety of opposition - have changed his tune.

Weaksauce.

Be Better!

The politicians have gutted a the public service to some extent, robbing it of the knowledge necessary to perform a lot of tasks.

But there is a desire to shift the blame elsewhere by using outside people... and then there's the "we have the budget, so spend it" mentality.

Possibly an unnecessary distraction that alienates a bunch of people?

That said, it's your place so you should say what you feel.

The issue is that often these secretaries are just political hacks being rewarded for prior service rather than people of due knowledge and skill.

Hmmmm... I think running a government department (the secretaries), at least in theory deserve to be well-compensated. They are massive institutions and require some knowledge and ability.

A million? Unsure, but CEOs can make a tonne more than that.

Yes, the duopoly have been screwing us.

This sort of shit sounds conspiratorial, but it's not; it's just our government and the attached bureaucracy have outsourced so much of government (to avoid accountability) that they scarcely do much except take advice.

The fiction that 'conservative voices are being silenced' that they've created for themselves shows their lack of self-awareness.

They're experiencing the kind of groupthink they would be accusing "the left" of.

I can't say that I love everything they've done, but I do love a good number of their songs and most of their albums are pretty listenable.

Big Wheel though.... that was no good.
