Opinion | If there is not a legal principle that Nazis have no rights, it’s time we created it, writes Michael Bradley.
It's no accident that Nazis rallied in Sydney. Police waved them through — and now Minns wants to punish us all

See, this why you can't just be popping off at the mouth if you don't mean it, words have power.
I’ll give Dick Cheney props for one thing. When he said New York would have a Muslim mayor over his dead body, he really meant it… 😳

Getting your cat to take chill pills without breaking them up and hiding them in food is super stressful. I hope they kick in soon.

Sorry my friend. We know how this plays out. Years of roadworks disruptions, and then the new lanes will up with traffic within a year or two, and you're back to square one.
Ultimately to keep cities moving efficiently, we need to get more people out of cars.

Yeah, I think that's lost on a LOT of people under the age of, like, 30-ish. Doc Brown's time machine was a DeLorean because DeLoreans were stupid garbage. It was a lemon he probably got for $500. Using it was just another thing made him look insane. 80s audiences would have understood that.
satire that people misunderstood: they picked the delorean for back to the future as a joke because it was a failed vision of the future

Waiting for the train and the guy who empties the bins is doing his thing. Pulls the recycling out of the yellow bin and tips it into the red bin. I can't work out whether that's his brief or he just CBF. ♻️
