I read, I also play video games and according to my children and grand children I breathe fire at idiots,“Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.”

Stripped of life: the deadly South Australian algal bloom is still spreading one year on More than 20,000 sq km of coast has succumbed to Australia’s first ever bloom of toxic Karenia cristata algae – and scientists worry it could explode again

“The largest and most destructive algal bloom in Australia’s history is persisting along parts of the South Australian coastline, a year on from when it was first detected.”

The BBC should realise what a goldmine lost episodes could be and have an amnesty on how they were obtained.

Are we at war?

It's a reasonable question to ask, given the govt is sending one of its most sophisticated reconnaissance planes, crewed by dozens of military, to the ME.

And according to legal experts, the simple answer is: yes.

Jack's quiet history: The year 2026 has the exact same calendar layout as 1914. Both years start on a Thursday and both are non leap years, which means every date falls on the same weekday as it did more than a century ago.

We have them where I live. Youngest son driving a small Kia, stops since this big wedgie is in the middle of the road eating. Wedgie decided the car was a threat. As my son said "the car ended up with a few gouges and he leaned on the horn and slowly reversed"

Looks at this list and laughs. I get up and have a double espresso ( my doctor and my children and the following generations can take a leap) Look at msgs from varying family members and groan, resolve to ignore them. Fail resolution. Remind myself that kinslaying is a sin. Get another espresso.

Update on the roads..well I didn't need to worry about the road flooding my room, which is downstairs, got flooded. My daughter-in-law and son are absolute legions. I should not have jinked myself. The Bruce Highway is cut, parts of Gladstone are flooded and the rest of the region got really hit.

I have 3 hoodies that have survived two marriages. Then again they are more of a comfortable fit.

The US sank an Iranian warship and didn’t rescue the survivors. Is this legal in war? These rules have developed over centuries as states sought to regulate the conduct of conflict at sea while still allowing navies to operate effectively.

As this reminds us, sometimes what we would prefer to not be legal is, unfortunately, legal,

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

thank you ( and to any others this applies to) for the fact the taxes you pay allow me to have an old age pension. Super wasn't a thing when I started work and even the amount I ended up with later on wasn't a great deal.

And if wasn't for the UN the State of Israel would not exist. "November 29, 1947 the UN adopted Resolution 181 (also known as the Partition Resolution) that would divide Great Britain’s former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate was scheduled to end."

Children are descended from a member of the First Fleet, my youngest son married, his wife is descended from a member of the New South Wales Marine Corps who were the guards on those vessels. So your comment in the case of two of my grandchildren is accurate.

So politicians want school kiddies to be taught more ‘Australian values’?

Which ones are those? Alcoholism, toxic masculinity, colonialism, anti-science, anti-expert, ecocide, racism, genocide of First Nations peoples, banning public protest, profit at the expense of affordable homes?

Which ones?

Yep. Personally can't see it going forward unless our rather stupid Premier decides to help fund it.

I play ESO. Do dungeons and delves with my granddaughter. Led to some amusement when she said " Thank you Nan " in zone chat. One guild offered me a place with the bribe that they would give me a place to nap. I played WOW for ages. I got a convo with my kids that way.
