It was literally bullet point 3 of the ten point peace plan. There were only 10 points.

JUST SAYIN

🤣 me too. Still at least I’ll be finished and back in the burbs by lunch time.

Thugs.

WHAT

Ooh, I’m self-employed… 🤔

Why don’t you make the clear skies blue and the clouds grey…?

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Lot of misspeaking going on for a government that had to pass an "english is an official language" bill

I think it’s probably been answered here but according to my optometrist most people’s eyesight does start failing around 45 to 50, and quite quickly at that point

There’s an episode of AppleTV’s fantastic Extrapolation drama series - set in the not too distant future- where this is demonstrated.

4?!…

Policy uncertainty seems to be hallmark of this government.

WTF, Australia?

Well, #aknightofthesevenkingdoms certainly came alive in E4.

Done. Ngā mihi!
