Counterpoint: with this, and the demise of Col and Jackio, could this be the moment where traditional #ausmedia wears down its stockpiles of gobshites?

Australia loses another oil refinery, leaving our fuel supply vulnerable to regional crises The loss of Melbourne's Altona oil refinery, on top of the looming Kwinana closure in Perth, raise fresh concerns about the nation's ability to produce enough fuel if shipping and supply chains are ev...

In a space of 4 months in 2021, OZ lost half its oil refineries. Did anyone argue to keep them open? Who was Energy Minister at the time? www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02...

As far as I can understand it, Corey Lewandowski's role during these administrations is to get caught having affairs and ruin other people's careers.

America's future looks bleak (and boring). Anti-intellectualism is in vogue. The arts are being punished by AI/funding cuts. Hollywood is merging into a bland singularity that greenlights safe slop. Cool people who can afford it are leaving, and teachers are quitting because kids can't/won't learn.

A reminder that Iran sent 57,000 suicide drones into Ukraine, and for the majority of that time, Ukraine didn't have reliable air defences to counteract, leading to thousands of deaths. That's an act of war, and the only country with legitimacy to react to it is, in fact, Ukraine.

It's called EXPOSURE to Music, blockers.

If you're never EXPOSED to a huge variety of music, some of your neurons die instead of FIRE.

You don't know it, but music is still there even if you sink into dementia.

Listen to something you never heard.

Putin is a terrible and overrated strategist, as recent years have shown.

However, he is a genuine opportunist who knows when to abandon allies and how to make the most of any situation.

He’s doing that now with the war involving Iran

My entire journalistic career, editors & owners & bosses told me again & again that my stuff was too long, too in-depth, too wonky, no one would read it.

Again & again, readers flocked to the longer, wonkier pieces, passed them around, wrote me to thank me for them, cited them years later.
