You should read @alicefraser.bsky.social's lovely and sorrowful and human piece on Bondi Beach & then reflect that it's the sort of communication that's only possible when you don't view everything as an online argument that you have to win at all costs.

If he's repeatedly taking cognitive tests then he's not being assessed for a cognitive problem, it means his Dementia is being monitored.

No "acing" . Yes men are telling him "you are super clever and brave and you score better than anyone we've ever seen. while shitting themselves about what to do
The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

Long time ago at the Edinburgh fringe I was at my lowest point, having performed a degrading and very stupid act on stage that wasn't really funny and then drinking more to the point I was blackout drunk and soiled myself in a doorway.

I still wasn't as dumb or degraded as anyone in Trumps cabinet.

This is not "news."

Social media is where everyone can express their opinions. News is supposed to be about presenting the public with verifiable truth and facts from a trusted source.

Very sad to hear the news about John Varley. I didn't get to work with him much, but here's an amazing email he once sent us at Lightspeed about why he didn't like to read or discuss his own work.

I've saved this for a long time because I enjoyed it so much.

9 minutes, time to pour a glass for new years.

This year it's 31 year old Glenmorangie, which says 15 year old on the bottle I bought 16 years ago.

Sláinte and L'chaim.

Heres hoping 2026 has at least some upbeats.

I will now smoke a cigar illegal in the USA while I countdown.

I asked via varley.net John last month about getting a copy of his short story collection Farewell Robinson Crusoe and audiobook. He replied.

"I'm too weak to dig around in my old copies, which are in storage. As for audiobooks, no one is buying right now.

John"

@scunnert.bsky.social Why are you reposting

"Why do Western colonial elites go to such absurd lengths to defend Jews? What are they really defending?"

I'm very aware of the weaponisation of antisemitism accusations to silence dissent.

But "lengths to defend *Jews?* " is 100% antisemitic.
December 29, 2025 at 4:49 PM
If this guy was talking about Israel I wouldn't mind.

But "Why do Western colonial elites go to such absurd lengths to defend Jews? What are they really defending?"

So, from a very left wing, long time opponent of the right in Israel.

I think this guy can go fuck himself, the antisemitic cunt.

It's definitely a post about American health insurance.

But also, in the stupid drive for infinite profit growth, I wouldn't rule out NetParaFlix Brothers doing this once they finish all the merging into the entertainment monocorp that is now your only choice and still need to increase profits.

I foresaw things in by not posting on X or Bluesky under my real name.

Even my much milder posts elsewhere under real name I'm bracing to be refused entry due to being critical of the orange cunt in chief.

Sorry to anyone in places that produce olive oil, but the price now is so insanely expensive I recommend people use ultra good quality rapeseed which is 1/5 th the price of indifferent quality Oilive Oil and just as good for you.

Olive oil is now only for the rich or those with local farm acess.
