And in 2031 there will be another excuse. This is just a bit of right wing Christianity being inflicted on the rest of us who want nothing to do with it.

There’s a Caitlin Johnstone headline today “Our Leaders Couldn't Fix Our Problems If They Wanted To (And They Don't Want To).”

I think she right.

This is it. And could there be a link between a stagnant economy and a population in survival mode?

That’s a bit harsh isn’t it? Castigating actors (who are lucky to have a job at the best of times) for the dud behaviour of the author of the original material of which they are playing one character?

Of course. Governments like it because it’s a pretext for making us all identify ourselves. The tech giants like it because it cements Google/Apple/Meta as gateways to the internet. Most other apps and services will just implement “log in with Facebook” like features.

I also don’t remember any other cohort of victims demanding of the PM “you owe us answers” as reported on the ABC today. The vitriol here is through the roof.

Consider an Aeropress if you want to keep it light and simple on your travels. Instead, invest in a good little grinder to take with you. I found it’s more about the freshly ground beans than the machine itself.

I just wish they were consistent so if I have to crank the volume for one video, the next doesn’t knock my socks off.

This is exactly why I would expect from someone like Putin.

I’m sure they will flip flop between opinions in the blink of an eye depending on where the outrage is. They have no moral compass. There is nothing they stand for beyond their own biases and bigotry.

This appeasement of the Israel lobby is a threat to national security. If there’s anything which will drive people to desperate, extreme actions, it’s this.

Pegasus spyware probably read his deepest, darkest secrets.

It won’t help. There are myriad ways to stage an attack which doesn’t involve firearms. Protecting against one specific strategy doesn’t make us any safer.

I don’t believe house prices are tied to earnings any longer. They are a speculative asset. Like bitcoin, also not tied to anything in particular, the price goes wherever people are willing to bid.

I thought the question was right on the mark.

I think you are right. I think the government’s weak condemnation of Israel’s genocide contributes significantly towards anti-Israel sentiment. I think the deliberate blurring of the lines between Israel and Judaism just makes things worse.

With tens of thousands of people killed and maimed on the roads in Australia each year, I really think there are higher priority areas for improvement. I’m much more worried about being taken out by a meth-head driver.

I would guess it’s a result of someone with too many tabs open typing out a query and pressing enter. And then wondering “where did my query go?”

I’ve always thought the Handmaid’s Tale was more prophesy than fiction.

I suspect we will see more of this. Privately built social housing will only be built begrudgingly. It will be borderline punitive and clearly demarcate the 1st and 2nd class citizens.

No doubt everyone will offer thoughts and prayers - and then keep on doing the same thing.

How very sad for both Tia and Lindsay. My question is: are we going to change anything or are we going to put another bus driver in Lindsay’s shoes and expect a different result? I suspect we will once again give road transport a free pass and offer only thoughts and prayers.
