"The Courier-Mail recently invited its 750,000 Facebook followers to vote on whether “disabled kids belong in mainstream schools” using emoji reactions." That's an absolute "banality of evil" sentence, and everybody involved should be shamed and shunned.

"Great Replacement Theory" folk really are the dumbest and most fearful people in existence. They make anti-vax people look erudite and sophisticated. This is from the comments on Tom Tanuki's blog.

(Comments listed below. If name tagged, I mark it with square brackets.)
Nicholas Wragg: It's interesting that you're specifically focused on "no White Australia" - does that mean you want White people eradicated or made into an extreme minority?
It seems weird that you'd hate your own ethnic group.
Peter Murphy: [Nicholas Wragg] "White Australia" means how people used the term at the beginning of Federation: an Australia _exclusively_ for white people. That's a pretty shit idea.
Nicholas Wragg: [Peter Murphy] I know what that's about, however that finished a long time ago and these protestors are protesting something from the "present day".
Their goal is to make sure that there is no country in the entire world where White people are a majority, there's why there is incessant mass immigration from the third world and government programs to subsidise the breeding activities of the new arrivals, also whilst providing free housing and taxing the White/remainder of the population to pay for it. White people are paying for their own replacement in Ireland, France, Germany, England, Canada, Norway, Belgium (where 88% of young people in Brussels do not have a Belgian background), Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, USA.... I could keep listing Western countries, but would you get the point?
Do you think it's a good idea to ensure that Whites are made into an extreme minority? How do you think that would go for them once that happens? Do you think that others would be as accommodating as the White people are? If so, I've got a harbour bridge to sell you...
Peter Murphy: [Nicholas Wragg] That's quite the fantasy you are telling yourself there - just like Lord of the Rings or the Narnia books, except far less believable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:izbz6zp4cru6i6nt6sav5fbt/bafkreibdrrjvh4pg4gn4phwqu4m6kgqqopxnygecddkqza6ox2qmbyhocm@jpeg)

I believe I have seen one of the worst takes on Charlie Kirk in the wild. It's like "The left needs some Julius Streichers".

Why not UK prime ministers as well? Nice how it gives us both "Gordon Brown" and "Brown Gordron", and two Margaret Thatchers, one of each gender.
I feel a bit gypped, to be honest. There's no phony names or phantom letters of the alphabet (common with LLM-generated graphics).

Why should Americans have all the fun with ChatGPT5? "Show me a clearer, captioned version, with:
Individual portraits for each [Australian] Prime Minister since Menzies
Names and years in office beneath each image.
Chronological layout for easy reference."
This is the result.

The United States is full of superb scenery from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite to explore. Why would young people want to spend their time at some glorified pokie barn instead?

Why would you move to Austin? Even compared to other "humid subtropical" climates like Brisbane, it sound pretty cursed. Average _perceived_ summer high of 38°C? Get fucked.

Being allowed to build _suburbia_ in Maricopa county sounds like criminal negligence as well. It's a desert climate, fatal without AC. Unlike the tropical savanna of South VN, where shade and wind makes life comfortable.

Been clocking up my visits to the HCMC metro, and am amazed how popular it is on a Sunday Arvo - as is "standing room only" popular.
Hope they get around to completing the rest of the lines someday.

Saturday nights are TV nights at home, so last night daughter and I watched "Cells at Work": a manga adaptation about anthropomorphic cells of the body. Red blood cells (L) moves oxygen, while white blood cells (R) kills germs and cancer.
My daughter now knows more about illness than RFK Jr.
