Indeed. The dementia angle is a distraction. Not enough of them are getting his hot insider trading tips I suppose before each oscillation of the yo-yo.

He was ridiculed for a segment of his speech at West Point but it went for an hour and it was nowhere near as bad as Dems made it out to be.

I hope it is a flawed poll along the lines of Yes Minister. We should all hope so.

Aboriginals in ~~custody~~ prison are less likely to die than others (according to a Royal Commission) however they are way over-represented in the prison system in the first place. That is a much more complex problem which AFAIK is not abating unfortunately.

Her inevitable clashes within Labor will eclipse anything she experienced in The Greens.

Albanese declared the senator’s departure was a sign the Greens had become an unrecognisable party after they blocked housing bills last term and focused heavily on the war in Gaza.

And yet she is the only Greens member to have publicly used the slogan "From the river to the sea...".

Regardless of one's stance on Gaza politics, Albo is being disingenuous. He is merely gloating about the defection.

And why gloat? He still needs the Greens on board to pass legislation.

Senator Dorinda Cox called One Nation leader Pauline Hanson a “f---ing retard” in a text message leaked after she defected to Labor, showing the depth of anger toward her in the Greens

That's petty of the Greens.

Yeah it seems to merely be a business decision, less about a conscience and more about avoiding losing more anti-trust suits.

If no one server carries all the parts of a multi-part, is that a legal loophole?

A two-panel cartoon humorously shows "the talk" across generations.

The top panel shows parents giving their child the traditional "when two people love each other very much..." talk.

The bottom panel reverses this, showing the grown child giving their parents "the talk" about "when someone calls and says they're from Microsoft Tech Support."

Pioneering musician/producer Brian Eno talks about rising inequality and how to make the super rich pay a wealth tax. He himself has become a multi-millionaire from his art.

The bus in the background is paid for by a group called Patriotic Millionaires who also have other strategies for closing the wealth gap.

Neighbourhood watch vigilantes in paramilitary gear on the sidewalk making a citizens arrest of a balaclava clad man. There is a tiny community street library next to them.

One of them on a walkie-talkie says: "Janet? We got him. The guy who takes best selling novels and leaves behind textbooks from 1978"

"About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, Mr Fox said. “We know that Hamas uses child soldiers, and these statistics show clearly that Israel is targeting fighting-aged men.”

According to the Henry Jackson Society who's entry in Wikipedia says: While describing itself as non-partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing, neoliberal, and neo-conservative

I just discovered economist Gary Stevenson. He has over a million views of each weekly video on YouTube.

He is working class AF but graduated from LSE & Oxford and then made millions since 2008 betting that inequality will rise and that most people will be worse off. He was the most successful trader for Citibank but quit in disgust to reveal the scam to the public.
