"hey we just killed your parents, your wife, your kids....let's talk!"
No big deal, right?
Ohhhh.
Been in the garden, did I miss anything......
Oh-kay.
Going back out.
The basic functionality and classic nature of this watch is so appealing to me.
It's no smartwatch but it doesn't need a USB port either.
Commercial radio this morning framing oil reserve release as a good news story.
Me talking to my bowl of cornflakes
"That ain't it. You don't burn your reserves if things are going great"
Oh well, I'm not an international BSD.
I'll be in the garden. Lovely day.
US/school massacre.
Taking it international now.

But the self identified 'right wing' person who physically attacked a gathering of Muslims in Ballarat gets a "move on".
Israel can't survive without the US and have ya seen the state of that place lately?
That's going to save a lot of lives.
Birds, dogs, you name it.
So the Iranians have successfully targeted US radar facilities (Qatar and elsewhere), which would maybe explain why #Australia is sending the #wedgetail airborne system and why the surface vessels won't sail the strait.
As I said elsewhere, has anyone checked the group chat for Iranians?
So, the "not really a war, just lots of high explosives and death exchanged between national militaries" is going as expected then.
Maybe the Iranians are in the group chat? Has anyone checked?

My new/old workaday single function #watch.
Manufacturer; #Hergodia, Switzerland, approx 1950.
Not particularly valuable, but keeps excellent time.
Possibly because that's it's only job.
Period correct leather strap inbound.

I've read about the US$1B radar installation in Qatar being destroyed, along with the high altitude radar.
Get a load of this.
"Move on"

Now substitute another group in this situation and imagine the outcome.

*Wonder if the cops know him socially?
For non Australians, you may have trouble distinguishing this guy from our last umpteen middle aged white guys but it's ok, so do we.
#auspol
Even so, possibly the smartest guy in his electorate.
*It's a very low bar.
Photo matches story.

I'd call him a donkey but donkeys can be kind and useful.

Really wish my old local member, Max, was my current local member, rather than the bench warming careerist we have now.
🙁
Well, they're very good at it.
Imagine if someone returns the favour one day.
Interesting to compare the silencing of particular voices against the incessant boosting of others.
Probably time to stop the US experiment.
Capitalism/greed/ low empathy/poor education ➡️ bad 💩
Should be a lot of military people going to jail for this one day.
Should.
Oopsie.
It's happening..... finally.
Did she fake cry while issuing this?
Smart fella, Alan Kohler.
Calling out markets for becoming complacent in response to the past #TACO principle.
If oil infrastructure is destroyed, prices go way up and there won't be a quick taco reversal this time.

Hell in a hand basket, maybe.
Good thing we're a long way away on a low oil island.
