BREAKING from me #4Corners: Why did top gynaecologist Simon Gordon perform 7 surgeries for "severe" #endometriosis on Courtney Paton, when pathology results repeatedly showed no signs of endometriosis? Why did he remove Courtney's ovaries & uterus by time she was 25? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
'Sickening': Courtney's doctor did seven surgeries that experts say she never needed
Pathology from Courtney's seven surgeries with Dr Simon Gordon repeatedly showed no signs of endometriosis. The surgeries left her medically infertile.

Alarmingly dumb reporting on @9news.bsky.social TV news this evening. 1. Trump administration ‘has repealed a scientific finding’. Rejected, maybe, but not repealed. 2. It’s time to ‘stock up on stamps’ before the price goes up. That’s not how the post works.

I’m astonished that this prosecution succeeded. I thought it would be tossed out on day 1.

Indian food in Norway and it looks great.

This international restaurant-spotting bot is a good follow.

Not enough has been said about Epstein’s atrocious typing habits: a space before full stops and commas, two or three spaces following full stops, a comma following the subject noun phrase. What a reprehensible human.

Photos of Honor Blackman always give me an uneasy feeling. First pic of her I saw, when I was about 10, she was in tight leather and seemed to be missing her right arm. Formative experience.

Dead to shame: the ballad of the Asia hand
In the early nineties I lived for several years in Vientiane, the sun bleached, run down, quasi-communist capital of what was then one of the more remote countries in Asia – actually, it probably stil...

Witness the begetting of the phrase ‘hi-vis yarmulke’.
I was always taught that if you cut the head off the monster, filled its mouth with salt, and buried the carcass at a crossroads at midnight, everything would be tickety-boo. Yet somehow Scott Morrison came back from the dead this week.
The evangelical creepshow returns.

If you haven’t visited Japan, be assured that the food doesn’t come out of the vending machine. The machine is just for ordering and paying.

If you’re used to thinking in Fahrenheit, double the Celsius numbers and add 30.
Day 5 heatwave, mid 30s heading back into high 30s over the next few days. Brutal day yesterday, really struggled to keep the birds alive. Wind has again delivered a heap of trash to be cleaned up and the trees/ bush is now so stressed it's jarring.
