Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

This will get almost no attention. It fucking should though.

The combustion of coal, oil and gas is killing one of the most remarkable and important places on the planet before our eyes, and most people are looking away instead.

Qantas - we do the check in online and we do the bag tags and check the bags through - prices go up.

Coles & Woolies - we self serve, pack our own bags - prices go up.

Capitalism is such a scam. The less they do the more we pay.

It's that simple
Making a critical error in thinking again.

It’s not COVID-19 *or* TB.

Dreyfus should have grabbed him on the way out of the committee room and sacked him on the spot.

But then Dreyfus was the one who thought him a great pick.

I really don't understand how "it seemed very hard" is a good excuse for a national anti-corruption commission to use when deciding not to investigate something.
