Even NewsCorp subs think some “news” is plain shit.

I kid you not: you might never see that headline again.

JFC!

See the Wall Street Journal - Boston Consulting was considered the elite of the elite in business and risk consulting.

Its ‘aid’ involvement in Gaza and a plan to restructure Gaza are horrendous. See the questions to be asked - last line of the article.

FASHUN?

Honestly, this is what Target has on display at Australia’s biggest shopping centre, Chadstone.

NFI.
Australian retailers really are shambolic, incurious, uncreative, and bone lazy.

Jeezus! What ‘passes’ for, er, fashion at Target these days!

You’ve got to be joking. Australian retailing is hopeless.

Phew. Temperature here in #Melbourne plunged 10C in a matter of minutes as that cool change gusted in.

Pity we won’t get much rain from it…

Victoria Emergency app indicates there has been an ‘aircraft accident’ of some sort at or near Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport !
Never seen this before.

39 and rising.
Huge dark clouds to the south. Done place is going to get a walloping.

My thoughts are with regional fire fighters - lightning expected.

Good on the independent inspectors. Push back.
Good #Governance requires independence and transparency, not fascist warriors slavishly carrying out an autocrat's populist wishes:

Um, goes to show how late to the party this columnist is on just about everything.

Anyone still using the term 'woke' loses the argument.

Whoa. You gotta read up about this!
A river that was once so polluted it was devoid of any life... where a person "does not drown but decays" in its waters.
Now (mostly) cleaned up.

Amazing photo of staff inside the National Assembly in Seoul using fire extinguishers and more to defend the Assembly building against soldiers commissioned by President to enact martial law.

The resistance by regular employees to defend their parliament is remarkable.

@sandyhorne.bsky.social I know this sounds weird, but I see a ghostly man in a suit on the wall behind that sheep.

Once seen, cannot be unseen …
