Dark Days-i

Well, we wouldn't want to ruin a young man's future, now, would we? 🤦‍♀️

This is just evil!

My first concert venue no longer exists (Festival Hall in Brisbane). I don't remember who I would've seen first, though. Maybe Split Enz?

I can't read the article because of the paywall, but I'm willing to bet part of the (real) reason is because she's a woman so she's seen as a softer target.

The Murdoch media just can't resist a rage-bait headline.

Protective Security Officers are not police. They're what used to be State Government Security - the people who provide building security services for government buildings. SGS got merged into the QPS several years ago.

That line about not going to jail for white collar fraud made me laugh out loud.

That's beautiful! I used to cross stitch many years ago but haven't done it in forever.

A cold bath was my go-to solution to cool down before going to bed in the Brisbane heat and humidity. Ten or fifteen minutes was usually enough to feel comfortable.

If you have a bathtub, run a cold bath and lie in it for a while.

Aioli as first choice, followed by barbecue sauce second choice, or salt and vinegar as third option.

That's just awful.

Josh Dryden Frydenberg is irrelevant. He certainly shouldn't have been getting interviewed. At least Sarah Ferguson pushed back at him on 7:30 in trying to get him to clearly explain how Sunday is the PM's fault.

Her reputation will never recover, and she's only digging in deeper with this behaviour.

Does anyone give an umpteenth of a rats arse about what Barnaby Joyce does?

Awww!

Yes, this is also very common.

This sounds very familiar. We learned early never to take in anything valuable.

When my dad was in aged care (dementia), I found the home to be fairly hopeless at making sure things didn't go missing. The other inhabitants take stuff, too, although I'm sure they just think it's their own item.

A very interesting read.

Yes! Along with that Americanism of putting an unnecessary "of" into phrases like "not that big (of) a deal." It's one of my pet hates.

I got "The Life Cycle Library for Young People," an American set of four books, with pictures that made it look like it was written in the 50s.

"Palestine is a testing ground for the surveillance and weapons technology that will monitor and oppress the lives of all of our children."

You beat me to it.

Andrew Hastie’s play for the leadership There should be little doubt that Andrew Hastie is already running for the Liberal leadership. While not yet directly challenging Sussan Ley, he has made several tightly crafted statements on key poli...

This was my first thought when I heard he'd resigned from parliament.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Andrew Hastie: soldier for an extreme version of governing by Christ Andrew Hastie is a more extreme Fundamentalist Christian than Scott Morrison. Australians cannot let his attempts to lead the nation go unchallenged. His place on the ARC Board is a warning.

We'll also need to keep people like this out of government.

I've just read this on Substack - yikes.
