Book just finished, book just started.
Both have climate change as a major plot point.
Could be it's a thing, eh?

Just here for the default #MAGA reactions:
*Every vote they lose must be "rigged".
*Every charge or arrest is a "witch-hunt".
*Every legal case they lose is "activist judges".
*Every protest is "paid actors".
I just wish "the left" were half as organised as the Trumpists think they are.

Like some of the privatised Job Service Providers for the unemployed, #NDIS contractors mostly being for-profit companies attracts spivs and shonks who are just monetising peoples' misery.
That's the part of the system that's broken.

Newtown celebrity spotting, #4665:
#BenLee in queue at Bourke St Bakery.
It was crowded, but we were all in this together.
I didn't stand too close, as I worried I might catch his disease.
Of course, I didn't think of those references until well after I'd crossed King Street.

The Walker (Jeffrey Smart, 1965).

Because Michelle Bullock doesn't see that every one of those percentage points is an actual human trying to survive.

Parsley Bay (Cressida Campbell, 1992).

Happy #InternationalHaikuDay.
#Bilston

Park At Night (Noel McKenna, 2001).

If you're a 'self-proclaimed' anything, perhaps check the veracity and credibility of your sources.
#JustSayin'

Interesting to watch #MAGA suffering from both a disabled gag reflex so they'll swallow anything, and a goldfish memory for when he contradicts what he said five minutes earlier.
And he's saying he was portrayed as a Red Cross doctor?
Oh do fuck off.
#Iran

I believe we have a winner.
#America

#Jaguar's new logo/typeface is apparently causing quite some consternation among the flat-cappers.
But it's not the first time the company's changed images.
They actually started out as "Swallow Sidecars", but the late 1930s saw them reconsider their name and crest. Perhaps wisely...

Unfortunately we can't just tell #America to go fuck itself right now, because hopefully one day sooner rather than later, it won't be run by a geriatric infant with impulse control issues.

To the MAGAs sooking about #TomMorello mixing music and politics:
As the now old joke goes, What Machine did you think he was Raging against, the toaster?

Not sure this reboot of Jimmy Stewart's Harvey is hitting quite the right note...

Ah, #America.
Crude, threatening, unhinged.
And that's just the president.
#Fuckin'

Ah, #NRL tradition.
Like Cronulla changing the name of their home ground every season.
So, it's now Ocean Protect Stadium.
Aka: Endeavour Field, Pointsbet Stadium, Southern Cross Group Stadium, Remondis Stadium, Toyota Park, Ronson Field, Caltex Field, Shark Park, and/or Sharks Stadium...🦈.

Used to the mix of Christ hanging round the Cross and a bunny distributing chocolate eggs...
However, some local shopping centres now add another tangent: said giant rabbit is accompanied on his mission by "Alice".
From the gospel according to Lewis Carroll, apparently.
#Easter

Australians, particularly rural: "Why can't the bloody government just stay out of our lives?"
Australians, particularly rural, after natural disaster, or maybe a fuel shortage: "Why isn't the bloody government helping us?"

Earlier draft: "It is my melancholy duty to point out some of you will carry on like pork chops at the bowser like you did wrestling over the last six-pack of Sorbent a few years back. Cut it the fuck out..."

Please note the difference between "Cancelled", where punters get their money back, and "In liquidation", where no-one is quite sure where the money has gone.

House in Tamugimata (Ray Morimura, 1999).

Resorting to having to watch Sunrise, even post-Kochie, or Today with Karl doing his Temu Tucker Carlson impression, should be enough for most people to realise how much we need the #ABC.😬

Morning Star (Peter Kingston, 2002).

How dare you reveal our candidate was a sex offender, you bastards!
You're dropped.

With typical governmental imagination, the ones at the top of High St, just across from here are officially "High Steps", and the ones at the end of Lower Fort St near under the Bridge approaches as "Hickson Steps".

Agar Stairs leading to Kent St, Millers Point (Max Dupain, 1947).

Dear Friends & Enemies (an in-joke for the faithful...),
Generational change.
I've loved this album for 30 years.
It's lifted me up or had me burst into tears, depending on circumstance.
I am about to lose myself in it again.
Favour, do yourself.
