From the Jordan to the Mediterranean?

(If Mr Minns wants to dox me so he can arrest me, there's an irate One Nation supporter in Pakenham who can help you out...)

Yeah they are brilliant.

The song where Andrew Eldritch reads from the instruction manual for an AK47 was another fatalist favourite.

I grew up surrounded by adults who were apparently experts on everything that was wrong with the world (it took me about 20 years to shake it off).

So the appealing bleakness of Black Planet may have been ust me. πŸ˜€

In the 1980s, when Joy Division and Ultravox weren't making me depressed enough, I'd listen to this in a continuous loop:

"Run around in the acid rain".

They played his podcast video on breakfast news. JFC, fundies are scary AF.

Wonder if Speers will wedge little Timmy Wilson and ask him if it's hot in hades. I'm guessing not...

Or you could use this opportunity to super charge EV subsidies.

A BPV Atto 1 costs $25K - imagine if you matched (say) the WA rebate so that Western Australians could buy an EV for $18k.

Just an idea...

Not to mention that Russia (an ally and supplier of weapons to Iran) benefits financially from prolonging this war.

Imagine a pile of hyper sonic missiles taking out an aircraft carrier, levelling a ME city or something.

Trump really fucked up.

Supermarkets really should offer insulated bags... oh, hang on.

I've just finished "Revenge Of The Odessa", so my brain is wired to conspiracy this week, but I think that's pretty plausible.

I used Black Salt yesterday so the house stank but after leaving all the doors and windows open overnight, it doesn't stink any more.

Also, last week one of the rescue charities that I work with rehomed a dog that had been fostered for 3 years.

Finally, I still think you are fucking awesome. πŸ«‚

Albanese's line that "We're sending defensive forces" to the war should ring everybody's bullshit radars. These "defensive" assets are part of a larger offensive. Take yourself back to school if you're buying it. Centrists can't even send us to war without pretending they're not.

Albo and Penny sat down in front a white board and challenged each other to come up with a line stupider than "non-lethal components".

Indeed.

I had a Pakistani-Australian cabbie last week in Melbourne, he seemed palpably nervous when I got in the car.

Fortunately a conversation about cricket lightened the mood, but it is so sad that Muslims are so fearful. Social Cohesion, yeah right. Well done Albo...

He was given a move on order...

The far right is attacking Muslims including children but the ALP refuses to take any action to protect our community.

As a middle aged guy, I doubt my opinion would be terribly informed on this issue.

But for what it's worth - great article, I'd been wondering stuff like this for a while.

Wondering if there will be an amendment after Albo took us into war.

Ordering a copy this week, anyway.

A man went to the zoo, where all the cages were empty, except one, which had a dog in it.

It was a Shi Tzu.

It would definitely make the summer ODI tri series more interesting.

Australia, Westralia, India and South Africa next year, bring it on.

Albo is being naive AF with Trump.

I've lost count of the number of meetings that I've been in where everyone waits for the CEO to opine before loudly supporting him/her.

The CEO sees this as a sign to ask for more obedience. How could our PM be so stupid?

I'm reminded of that Onion article:

Annoying Vegan finds yet more time to talk about being vegan.

(Disclaimer - my wife is vegan 100pc of the time and I'm vegan 99pc of the time, we just don't talk about it much)

Solidarity. I'm not in a wheelchair, but my perennially agonised back is creasing me after bending over to change the sheets.

The extra deep sheets helped me a lot. Only took 5 years to discover them... πŸ€”

The Iranian regime is showing usΒ it very much intends to carry on President Donald Trump said the worst-case scenario in Iran would be if Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's successor was "as bad as the previous person". In many ways, the appointment of his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, delivers him that very outcome.

Yeah right.

You told young women who made a mistake in crossing the Syrian border then did what it took to survive, that they "made their beds and should lie in them".
You described Grace Tame as "difficult".
You're going along with US targeting an Iranian girls'school and murdering kids.

Just watching #SundayShot and it is seguing into speculation about why invade now. The "Trump is Netanyahu's useful idiot" is one theory, but I'm liking the blackmail theories.

It's unbelievable how many people don't get (3) or (4).
