Goes out far too much, really should settle down and relax. Seriously - you have ants in your pants?

And remarkably, that has been the case for YEARS now - but it just gets swept along like so much fairy dust.

Is he as focussed as he could be on the lives of everyday Americans? I'm just sensing a hint of narcissm here. Maybe it's just me?

This is a very abstract process. When you see GAZA, it will be clearer, and more believable. They've been doing his for three years now. Each strike must create literally hundreds of future terrorists. None of this is accidental.

OMG, in Australia, our rampaging performative racists could not match this level of ignorance. Are you sure she's not an AI creation?

It passes so far beyond human cognition. This whole thing should not be even possible. But just like randomly killing fishermen with impunity, here it is. Oh America, what have you done?

One of the most exciting World Championships of Cycling ever in Montreal was in that spectrum too - where-in our man Michael Mathews came second.

His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist

I think we have enough data to show if you're arresting elderly human rights lawyers you are not the good guys in this story.

Still worth a repost. Many people have subscribed to Haaretz in these dark years. Plus context is clear in the header message.

Agree on Point 1. Comparing Mamdani’s role to head of an Oz Federal party is just silly.

Disturbingly enough, I have to agree with Bono for once. The output by both Smotrich and Ben-Gvir has been vile, and worse in past couple of years.

This is everything. It's very much the case where Netanyahu water carriers have entered at fed govt level, and worked assiduously on blending criticism of Israel with anti-semitism. It's working on some areas of our society - and it's just terrifying that it's even possible.

I don't think it's all that complicated - the job of leading a party tends to swamp all other day to day roles that a Minister might have. What I said was his intensity in the Senate would be missing. And thus, missed by those who pay attention what happens in parliament.

Very happy to read your notes on David. My small worry is that having him as leader costs the country if we lose his relentless attention and attacks in the Senate. But every good things comes at a cost I guess.

It worked for Brock - "Where is Brock Turner Now? As of 2019, Brock Turner is living a simple life. He is currently operating at Tark Inc. as an entry-level job employee. The company is a manufacturer of cooling technology for medical appliances where he accumulates $12 per hour."

for a public forum. I'll be honest - i'm pretty crushed by mentons of history, Sudan and Palestine. Save to say that all of your examples are from an insane level of patriarchy. It always will be. Always has been.

Sure, we have mysogynist sub-cultures, especially in prvileged schools, which feeds into corporate cultures. There have been two moments in my life when I have become aware men I know are abusive in ways I am unaware. I've made it clear to them that it's unacceptable. There's more here, but not 1/2

In answer to you various questions, I'd say that I live in Melbourne, Australia. Use of the term "pussy" is prety rare, cvnt similarly. But I am middle class, inner city, quite deliberately managed social group. We don't have that astonishing level of jock culture that poisons the USA.

Holy hell. Thanks for the recounts. I am happy to engage in good faith. Thanks also for international, and historical perspectve too. Both profoundly depressing. I am faher to two very smart, and aware daughters. My very clever partner enrolled them in self-defense classes when young.

His poor lawyer has just had that description arrive in his in box, and is searching legal precedent. Gonna take him a long time to find none :)

A horrible outcome. I’m very sad to read. There’s nothing quite as fallible as humans as it turns out. The animals must find us all very puzzling.

That thought has passed my mind too - I know for a fact I'll never be invited. I've lived a long life avoiding any circumstance that might involve spending time with creeps. Who the fricken J Edgar Hoover are these people???

Poland had some wise words, for Russia. They can puff out their chests all they like, they can keep killing... But this Polish Foreign Minister is 💯 correct. They will never win.

One from the archives In 1984 Dunnes shop worker Mary Manning refused to handle South African goods & was backed by her shop steward, Karen Gearon. Both were suspended. 9 colleagues came out in support. The strike lasted 3yrs & forced the Irish govt to ban the import of all SA goods. All heroes
