Can't believe they named a town in Germany 'Hermannsburg' after the one in Australia's Northern Territory!

The IRIS² EU alternative to Starlink is expected to be operational by 2030. It's critical this is brought forward. 3-4 years of Elon Musk being able to turn off core defence functionality at his or Trump's whim is completely unacceptable.

You have to wonder what Dr William Briggs, who did his PhD on Marxist theory, thinks about the arrest of around 60 communists at a rally in Moscow which happened the day before his disgracefully one-sided, pro-Putin essay about propaganda in Ukraine was published by Independent Australia […]

It's always a bit of a gamble getting a haircut where both you and the hairdresser are using a second language (D) to communicate. The friendly Syrian barber has unfortunately given me what's known in the trade *worldwide* as a "Dave Hughes".

Concerned to hear that Larissa Waters - one of the best people in politics - has stepped down as leader of the Greens due to ill health. Hopefully she's back fighting the good fight very soon. #greens #auspol

Found a shop selling both parsnips and root parsley. I don't feel so silly now because they're nearly identical.

Things are so grim that ~15% for the AfD (Nazis) in the district election in my part of Lower Saxony, is a relief. One positive is that my conservative village has voted in an SPD mayor.

Sachsen-Anhalt election: According to exit polls, the combined vote of all non-Nazi parties who passed the 5% threshold is 45% vs the far-right AfD 44%. Grim. If the fake leftist party BSW creep up to 5%, it's lost for sure. Will CDU tear down the firewall?

I'm using a third party YouTube client on my phone (no ads, free) which presents the videos recommended to people with no history every time I open the app. GB News is the first channel every time. I've never clicked. So much pushing and yet only 2500 viewers via YT. Google sucks and so does GBN.

Currently stopping over in Singapore where (as seen on a TV ad) Pizza Hut is celebrating the forthcoming National Day with special durian and laksa pizzas.

Cheesy 7 Durian - Pan

The King of Fruits gets the Cheesy 7 treatment. Seven creamy cheeses baked with rich, creamy durian for a pizza that's unapologetically bold. It’s sweet, savoury, and packed with flavour.

Cheesy 7 Otah Laksa

Bold local flavours meet irresistible cheese pulls. Pizza Hut's signature blend of seven cheeses is layered with spicy chicken, fragrant otah paste, rich laksa sauce, red onions and a sprinkle of parsley.
