Still among the living! I was on this session in 1968, French Horn with Jimmy Decker. I'm 78 now and it seems like yesterday. It was an all-time GREAT chart, and I knew it when we heard the playback!”

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

UNIT should have been stood down as soon as it was clear the Great Intelligence wasn‘t coming back. Its remit is far beyond that of a simple taskforce and this kind of absurd scope creep should’ve been noticed by the UN

Truly insane to put basic public health policy in the hands of local councillors. Abdication of responsibility by the State Parliament. (Qld has about 75 LGAs and a whole lot of them have only a few thousand even a few hundred people living there.)

Water fluoridation cut tooth decay in Queensland children, study shows, but most councils have decided against it

Rate of tooth decay in children aged five to 10 fell from 49.5% to 38.8% after introduction of fluoride according to new research * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast New research has found that water fluoridation in Queensland reduced the rate of tooth decay in children to less than four out of every 10 children, down from nearly half of all children. The findings come as more councils in Queensland vote to remove fluoride from their water supply. Of 77 local government areas in Queensland, only 16 add fluoride to water, most of them in south-east Queensland. Five more have naturally occurring fluoride. Two councils – Gympie and Cook – have voted to cease fluoridation in the last year. Continue reading...

I read Zitron for ages, was an (unpaid) subscriber for over a year. His schtick grew thin and ever-more self referential. I’m not an AI “booster,” I’m actively seeking out critics… this bombardment isn’t exactly encouraging
