Ear worm alert! Ear worm alert!

If ever there was a time for "government should only act when the market fails" it is now. Despite decades of govt handouts, the "market" has proven itself incapable of solving this.

They were doing this at a busy McDonald's at Roma Termini (Rome's main railway station) but of course, in Italian. And whilst I can cope with 0-9 in most languages, 154 could just as well been 237 to me, as it did the other foreign tourists ... and so the bags started to pile up on the counter.

OMG this got me 😂🤣

The MOST accurate depiction of Trump.

🤌

The mayor of Shreveport is asking for prayers, instead of asking for gun control.

The police chief said, "I just cannot begin to imagine how such an event can occur", despite being a police officer who knows such events have happened in the US before.

The post mass shooting pretending games.

Still bewilders me that changing a doona cover inspires "how-to" videos or that it requires more than 1 person to do. But I agree, linen change day is a delight.

Bare adherence to history that supports a narrative seems a common theme recently. Trump's "we've been at war with Iran for 47 years" conveniently overlooks the 72 years since the CIA/MI6 backed overthrow of a democtatically elected government that triggered this mess in the first place.

The best is always the last one you've been to because you never know if it's the last. Tonight it was the Gurg and they went off!

Alas, I feel we're not far behind them. Despite overwhelming evidence that neo-liberalism has been tried, tested and proven a failure, it's still the only show in town politically and that economists keep claiming works ... as we all watch every norm that existed before us slip into obscurity.

As do I

Skeets be unwell?

Clearly not Moses - he's actually being portayed as a shephard heralding his own birth signified by a caravan of gifts (oil) from 3 (arab) kings he's guiding to Mar-o-lago.

Someone needs to hand him a red akubra with Make Australia Gaslit Again stamped into the possum skin.

Faithful impressed as Pope Leo reveals he's actually a Doctor and offers free labotomy's to Maga rusted-on's.

Is it just me or does Orban's capitulation feel weird? It kinda feels like a horror movie and I'm waiting for the killer to suddenly reappear and try to chop our heads off.

And cue the "not all cars" crowd and their strawman arguments about how EVs are far more polluting.

Orban's defeat will likely embolden Trump and his ilk. With a foreseeable destiny now before him, the necessity to disrupt the mid-terms will now be self-evident to all for fear of suffering an Oprah moment.

"You get an impreachment, and you get an impreachment, you're all getting an impeachment!"

Kim Dotcom: Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I will obliterate her entire civilization. She now charges me a fee to use the bathroom, that used to be free, and I didn't get dinner. WTF

So are you a resource, time or $$$ problem? Or scope, quality or risk?

I tell you, this made for skeet radio series of War of the Roses is captivating stuff - they even got a redhead to play Kathleen Turner's role!

Well will you look at that, Dutton got himself a taxpayer funded job.

Farce.

A gross and hypocritical farce.

I can almost imagine Barnaby in 15 years screaming at a future Labor govt for abandoning rural Australia by not paying for the desalination plants needed for them to survive.

Handedness to me always felt like a skin colour issue - a nonce idea that weirdly upset some people for no good reason.

I'm glad you spared us the "... to the tune of ..." because I really don't need that cycling though my synapses all day.

I remember the office, eternal refuge of the aggrieved spouse.

I still think Pete did a Meg Lees and drank the kool-aid by buying into that bullshit line of "I could do more to influence change on the inside". Appointing him to the Environment Minister was only meant to neuter him and he should've known better and refused it.

I was passing through Singapore in '98 when Howard was telling a domestic audience "the rest of the world pays her no attention", only to open a copy of the Straits Times to find her on the front page.

Amazing how not condemning the genocide in Gaza makes it impossible to condemn a potentially worse genocide in Iran without looking like a total hypocrite. So over this sitting on the fence and abandoning the moral high ground.

And create a vision of the future that isn't distopian (aka address climate change and sustainability).
