ZOMG Yes!

Something very weird happened around time of the Pandemic with people buying these #wankpanzer.

Car parks should relegate them to special zones farthest away from the entrance to shops, businesses etc.

And as they say, can’t spell ‘Ranger’ without ‘anger’ (or ‘rage’).

Happy 88th anniversary to the Hobbit, published on this day in 1937.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”

#iOS26 has just created a Blade Runneresque Esper machine IRL with its Spatial Photo magicks. (This is a still photo.)

Walked past a half-dozen f2f seat bays like this, every one populated by a lone, young male with their feet up on the seat opposite.

But this was the grossest.

Why is Vic Pol dragging its feet wrt far Right Neo Nazi terrorists?

And why hasn’t Jacinta Allen’s Labor state govt asserted itself over a police brass that, a week later, still can’t apprehend a far Right fugitive?

Compare with responses in other domains under their purview.

We can perhaps guess why VicPol doesn’t want to use the laws at its disposal to crack down on hate speech.

Not as if this were anything new. One of these was not like the other.

Just in case there was any doubt about how VicPol manages such competing public interactions.

Shockwave Rider, John Brunner. Debut in literature of self-replicating computer virus aka ‘Worm’.

Only p.24 and already introduced to Fox-like MSM, Internet, PCs, ‘Wisdom of Crowds’, influencers, insider threat, #ClimateCrisis, surveillance state, Christofascists & doxxing.

In a world where every truth is up for grabs, the fictional work of Japanese manga artist Ryo Tatsuki coinciding with earthquakes like the ones about which she wrote is unsettling a lot of folk.

Shameful verballing by the ABC all for the sake of a click. The speaker made no threat; it was David Speers’ febrile dream expressed as a leading question. We need more reasoned journos at this time. Disgraceful

This is from the Age House Stylebook. Pretty certain ABC would have similar prohibitions.

‘Whilst’ is what a smarmy w⚓️ fresh out of uni would write. Or ChatGPT (difficult to discern the difference tbh).

Just for context where this happened and its proximity to the Home Depot where ICE kidnappings sparked #LAprotests.

The Blackhawk set down on the asphalt directly outside DHS at Atlantic Place (open area between the two buildings indicated by upper red oval).

China hasn’t invaded anyone since 1979, and that was a limited engagement. Even ChatGPT acknowledges the greater threat to world peace is the US.
