The United States of America has entered a new Dark Age.

A friend of mine has this coffee cup. Slightly confronting in the morning :)

Is there ANY scene or dialogue in the two seasons of Poker Face that reveal how Charlie Cale acquired her Plymouth Barracuda?

"Canadian Visitors To U.S. Plummet 33% In June—Sixth Straight Month Of Steep Declines" [Forbes Magazine] Good on you, Canadians, keep it up. Leading the worldwide boycott of US Goods & Services.

I was standing right in front of the amps last night (at Ball Park Music in Brunswick Heads)... my ears took a good pounding...

A truly great evening with Ball Park Music at the Brunswick Heads pub.

Yay! We got the Ball Park Music gig setlist for tonight.. Sam gave it to my young niece...

Ball Park Music - it’s a great gig!! (Brunswick Heads pub)

Support band to Ball Park Music at Brunswick Heads Pub. It’s really cold - dancing might cure that :)

I keep getting email surveys that ask me about my experience in their shop - "Did staff members welcome me?" etc. Am I the only person who wants shop staff to studiously ignore me until I ask them for assistance?

At Brunswick Heads theatre waiting for Tom Gleeson to begin.

Ha.

Do we learn from history? It seems not. Has any US intervention in Asia or the Middle East (Vietnam, Iraq 2003, Afghanistan 2001–2021, Lebanon 1982–84, Syria post-2011, Libya 2011) been more than short-term tactical successes? All are widely regarded as strategic failures.

Flu in Australia is down a bit from 2024 levels so far...

i have no ambitions for power, great wealth, or crazy luxuries. just like animals and clothes. i appreciate that the audience i've built has allowed me to raise money for animals, but ive also received so much hate for a guy who just wants to read, walk, and pet cats.

Trump may be lying. Is that possible?
It seems likely both personnel and nuclear materials were absent during the attacks. There is no evidence of mass casualties or radiological release.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no increase in radiation levels. Satellite imagery appears to show the underground sections—especially at Fordow—were only partially impacted.

You may be in for a rough ride. Now you won’t just have militarised ICE Agents roaming your neighbourhoods, but you will now have militarised Homeland Security Agents and FBI Agents crashing into your homes & workplaces looking for spies, suicide bombers, assassins…

Whether or not your elected Reality TV host has succeeded in “the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity” - he's poked “the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terror.” Buckle up, Americans - be paranoid about every football game, every concert .... in every major city...

Memoirs of Russian PM, Sergei Witte, 1903-1906.
“Plehve said to [minister of war]: "Aleksey Nikolayevich, you do not know the internal situation of Russia. To hold down the revolution, we need a short victorious war."
They lost the war. There are no short victorious wars.

Gen. Barry McCaffrey: “We are at war with Iran right now.”

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm.

Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

OK. The best pun so far today, in my view

Americans believe their 3 branches of Government ensure a separation of powers, preventing any 1 branch from becoming too powerful, a system of checks & balances, where each branch limits the powers of the others.

If what Trump is doing is LEGAL - then that's a delusion.

Australia is doing well in lowering of Flu so far this year...

Has anyone who knew Stephen Miller in school ever come forward with a positive story about him?

People forget easily. MAGA in 1939.

I took these photos of Graham Parker & The Rumour on September 10, 1978 at Sydney’s State Theatre, on their first tour of Australia. Bob Andrews, the keyboardist, died today at 75. RIP, Bob.
