Just watched an episode of the American true-crime series Snapped. Story was about a guy in Dalhart, Texas who was murdered by his daughter in 2017.
Reminded me of another murder that I know of in that town, that occurred 36 years earlier...

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

I'm 100% with Bernard on this.
The AFL is chipping in $15 million, or ~1%, of the cost of this monstrosity. If their spawt is such a great earner, why aren't they paying for the whole damn thing?
Also - if you kid yourself that you're 'progressive' politically, you shouldn't be following spawt.

Tasmanians will lose hundreds of millions of dollars on a new stadium in Hobart — and the costs don’t stop there, writes Bernard Keane.

When I write about about Shetland ponies, I am writing about love. Love for #Shetland, it's windswept hill and wild sea. Love for island memories of independence despite exploitation & love for the ponies who helped folk survive & who still connect people to land & history.

People say that dogs don't know much, but it's just a matter of asking the right questions.
"What's 1 divided by 2?"
"Arf! Arf!"
"How would you describe the texture of sandpaper?"
"Rough!"
"What's the name of the horizontal thread in weaved cloth?"
"Woof!"

Q. What do you call a second female calf who has the same mother as the first, but was artificially inseminated by a different person?
A. A sister from another fister.
(If you don't know how artificial insemination works - please try to hang on to that sweet, childlike innocence.)

So it's time for a few tracks I'm playing, at offensive volume levels, from my 'Faves' playlists.
Starting with Steve Wynn, unacknowledged genius (IMO).
