ICE agents are indistinguishable from Proud Boys. That tells us a good many things. None of them good!

Rewatching the show now it seems far less outlandish with the juxtaposition against 2020s politics rather than twenty years earlier. Still no less fabulous as a show though.

Gary stood against genocide when the BBC did not. The post he has apologised for was absolutely a mistake. However, on balance, history will judge him well.

Many women explore their options before ultimately deciding to proceed with a pregnancy. Now historical online research into possible options may be seen as criminal malice and evidence of wrongdoing?!? WTAF indeed.

They keep us distracted with the public vs private debate. In truth, if the Ginas and the Clives, the Apples and the Amazons, and the Metas and the Googles all paid their fair share of tax there would be plenty in the government coffers for every child. As it should be. Corporate tax is the answer.

I met Tim in a hotel bar last night. He told me about the time he eyeballed a shot from his speeding X-Wing into an exhaust port to destroy Labor. What a guy!

NYT is weeks away from reporting the murderous deaths of dozens of Palestinians as: “IDF kafuffle causes oops-a-daisy in Gaza”. Absurd by NYT. Not even close to journalism.

Just finished listening to Gunnawah for the second time. A fabulous yarn bringing the dust and mossies of rural Aussie life in the 70’s (and some sinister underworld characters) to wherever you’re listening. Great characters and a wonderful story, expertly told. Loved it.
