I see this case as a Lehrmann cake with a NY Times v Sullivan cherry on top.
Lehrmann - we will keep reminding ourselves that he initiated the case and is not the defendant.
NYT - he'll struggle to prove actual malice (see also Trump v WSJ, which was recently thrown out).
I think these glasses are good because it instantly identifies people you need to avoid and/or ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️.
Can’t wait to see his face when he learns about discovery
We were allowed to go in certain areas to see the shags.
Yawn. I already have a machine that can do a half marathon way quicker than this.

Profile of the nose section of a B-17 bomber painted in olive drab and gray. Under the cockpit is a painting of a pinup-style lady who happens to have a guillotine for a torso. There are arms in the sleeves of a military jacket extending from the sides of the guillotine frame, one is holding an empty basket and the other is saluting. Below the hole where heads go sides wearing a short, pleated, olive drab skirt and her legs, covered in gartered nylons are curled up under her. A discarded crown is upside down behind her. In front of her across the nose is text reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’. Much of the rest of the nose is covered in mission markers but instead of bombs they are small images of guillotines.
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

I’m not proud of it but if Forrest Gump started talking to me on a bench I’d have left

I don’t know what this is advertising and I don’t want to know.
Fixed.
Not legal to do that btw but the way people think about cars in this country is deeply fucked.
Very polite chap just told me I should park my motorbike on the footpath because people with cars are trying to find parks. 🙃
This has resulted in multiple conspiracy theories collapsing in on themselves to form a singularity of stupidity so dense that the light of reason can never escape.
Exactly one year ago today:
A true Labor Govt would dismantle the Productivity Commission and laugh at anyone who suggested it did any good.
AFR screenshot We need to flip the script on NDIS incentivising disabilities Instead of rewarding psychological fragility, our government must stop incentivising young Australians to medicalise everyday struggles and anxieties and encourage resilience. Josh Szeps Columnist
This is total horseshit.
The NDIS incentivizes shonks and ticket clippers to provide dodgy services and "assistance" at higher costs to people with disabilities.
rightwingers minds are amazing
Like, imagine what trump's bunker will look like.
Absolutely lowest bidder shit, everything half-assed and half-built and covered with gold and absolutely packed with bugs from literally everyone.

Need to Know ‘President’ Bowen cancels UN trip as oil fire reignites fuel crisis The news | Energy Minister Chris Bowen will not attend a major international summit critical to his role as the global head of climate negotiations, as a massive fire at one of the nation’s two remaining oil refineries slashed domestic fuel production. What’s happening | Bowen today ruled out imposing rationing in direct response to the inferno at the Geelong refinery, which supplies 10 per cent of Australia’s fuel, after the facility’s operator, Viva Energy, said it would be able to meet shortfalls with additional imports. “This is not a positive development. This is not good timing. And this is a setback,” Bowen said.
The huge blaze burned out of control through most of the night. Image: Nine News The details | The blaze was only extinguished at around midday today, and caused damage to Viva’s petrol production facilities, as well as forcing an indefinite decrease in the plant’s output. Bowen, who was last year appointed as the United Nations’ top global climate negotiator – known as COP President of Negotiations – was set to attend the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Germany next week. Today, he notified his international counterparts that he would not be able to attend. Why it matters | The withdrawal is the latest in a series of setbacks for the government’s climate and energy plans as the fuel crisis takes priority over environmental matters.
One of the worst traits of legacy media (honestly worse in Australia than other places) is intense literal-mindedness and weird non-overlapping boxes used to sort and report information.
As a longstanding hater of Port Adelaide it pains me to be 100% on their side about the Butters incident but it’s a travesty.
Australian Rules football is one of the best spectator sports in the world with one of the worst administrations.
Yes I am aware that FIFA exists.

- That's right. Light housekeeping, and lighthouse keeping
