Just saving this for reference for when they start executing Democratic members of Congress.
The White House said today that Donald Trump does not want to see Democratic members of Congress executed. Earlier, the president fired off several posts on Truth Social accusing six Democrats of sedition, and saying that their behavior is "punishable by DEATH!", after they posted a video telling members of the military that they are able to "refuse illegal orders".

Crowther v Sala (2007) 170 A Crim R 389
Screenshot from a court judgment. The text reads ‘The appeal also challenged the Magistrate's conclusion that the words in question were menacing. It was submitted that what was said was "hyperbole to reinforce Ms Crowther's insistence on being given information as to how the protocol had been breached It was then submitted that what the applicant admitted she said she would do with the gun was an "anatomical impossibility".’ The last sentence odd highlighted.

Today is #IntersexAwarenessDay. In Australia, #intersex infants (born with variations of sex characteristics) are still subject to invasive, unnecessary and unconsenting surgical treatment. Every body is beautiful! Visit interaction.org.au for more information about intersex people.

It has come to my attention that Americans (it's always Americans) have coined this awful word. Using the metric prefix for 1/100 makes no sense. A centimillionaire would be a person with wealth of $10,000, not $100,000,000. That would be (if a word is needed) a hectomillionaire.
Screenshot of Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of 'centimillionaire'. 'one whose wealth is estimated at one hundred million (as of dollars or pounds) or more'

“Cheers Big Ears”? I guess “Get a Brown Dog Up Ya, Ya Mongrel C*nt” wouldn’t fit on the poster.
A decorative poster titled “How to Toast Cheers Around the World” shows two frothy beer mugs clinking together at the center. Around them are translations of “cheers” in many languages, including “Prost!” (German), “Salud!” (Spanish), “Sláinte!” (Irish), “Na Zdorovie!” (Russian), “L’Chaim!” (Hebrew), “Kampai!” (Japanese), and others, each labeled with the corresponding language. At the bottom, it reads: “To Your Health!” Close up of the first image showing the Australian translation ‘CHEERS BIG EARS’

Gay sex has now been legal in South Australia for more than 50 years, with the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Amendment Act 1975 becoming law on 1 October 1975. Please celebrate accordingly.
From the Canberra Times 26/9/1975: A newspaper clipping with the bold headline: “Adult homosexuals no longer deemed to be criminals”, reporting on a legal reform in South Australia decriminalizing homosexuality. Under the heading “Two opposing arguments”, two contrasting quotes are presented: On the left, a supportive view: "We can now look forward to a situation in which homosexuals are not to be blackmailed and discriminated against to anything like the extent which prevailed before..." On the right, a dissenting opinion: "This Bill can be regarded as a further direct attack on the family as the basis of our society, and history records that society which becomes decadent crumbles."

It's 40 years today since Rock Hudson died of #AIDS. Hudson, who was gay, was one of the first celebrities to disclose his AIDS diagnosis. He was the first major American celebrity to die from an AIDS-related illness, at age 59. His death is credited with raising awareness of HIV.
Newspaper front page headline reading “Rock Hudson Is Dead at 59; His AIDS Moved the World,” with two photos of Hudson — one from 1960 and one from 1985. The article highlights his death from AIDS and his role in raising public awareness by going public with his diagnosis.

The Hong Kong aérodrome has a lot of gates
Alt text: A blue and yellow airport sign overhead directs travelers to gates 10–530, with arrows pointing straight ahead. The corridor below has a shiny tiled floor, people walking in both directions, and shops lining the sides, including a storefront with red lights on the left and another labeled “Victoria’s Secret” on the right. An upper level with seating and people is visible above.
