I love Mandy Patinkin

The gambling industry is predatory and insidious.

I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body.

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

Something about clowns and circuses......

Can we please have a government run along the principles of whatever a Pocock person says?

Sportsbet dines with government minister at Labor fundraiser despite calls to reject lobbying from industry Exclusive: Dinner occurred on the same day that four crossbench MPs held a press conference calling on government to ignore lobbying from gambling industry

No surprise that despite majority community support we still don’t have a ban on gambling advertising when the Albanese government accepts money from companies like Sportsbet for their fundraising.

When will they put Australians ahead of gambling companies?

Chris Hedges - Statement by the National Press Club (4 October 2025) https://archive.is/jm7KO

Yeah but nah but if --

'when more details of the address were made available we decided to pursue other speakers on the matter'

-- what were these 'details' that forced the National Press Club to cancel Chris Hedges' address, I wonder?

Anyway, Mr Hedges will be speaking @ RMIT in Melbourne/Naarm on Friday, OCT 17 about 'Palestine Betrayed: Reporting on a Modern Day Genocide'.

If the Beatles wrote A Day In A Life in 2025
"I read the news today, oh fucking hell..."

A news headline from The Chaser reads, “Aussies miss when morning routine didn’t involve finding out whatever the fuck this cunt did today,” dated April 10, 2025, by John Delmenico. Below the headline is a photo of an evil pedo orange shit cunt with blond hair in a suit and blue tie, making a confused expression at a podium, with American flags in the background.

Every morning we wake up in this part of the world wondering what the fuck he’s said or done while we were sleeping. Hopefully we’ll wake up soon to the news that the cunt choked to death eating a Big Mac.

Trump angered by ‘bad door’ at UN as White House vows to investigate malfunction.

So, if you’re not antifascist, then you must be …

How do we reconcile with the fact that "the leader of the free world" isn't even running a "free country" anymore?

In the end, the only one of their cherished civil rights Americans will be left holding is the right to bear arms, which they'll use to shoot each other

Everyone Paris Paloma has a new song coming out and the intro is my loser headline and it’s spoken by EMMA THOMPSON 🚨🚨🚨 and she knows who I am

It's 5 years since the best thing I've ever written and will ever write aired on Mad As Hell

There it is folks: the betrayal (resources sell out) of the Australian people. Lucianne Tonti’s Norway comparisons are instructive. 👇👇

To be clear—

I don't hate Jews, nor Judaism.

I DO hate: genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, racism, Zionism, ethnosupremacy, white supremacy and settler-colonial 'occupation'.

And therefore: Israel has my ire. Not Jews. Not Judaism. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

March for Palestine rally over Brisbane's Victoria Bridge is absolutely huge. Thank you to all Australians in Brisbane & around the country marching today against Israel’s genocide. Anyone not standing with Palestine at this point in time is clearly on the fringe. #FreePalestine

I think it’s safe to say: this is the biggest pro-Palestine rally that this city has ever seen.

Nothing but the lighthouses of Australia. Wonderful piece by @researchremora.

First CD I ever purchased. Still have it, of course.

Here's a brief snip from a friendly chat I had with a mining lobbyist in parliament house 😁 (they really shouldn't just give these lobbying passes to just anyone you know 😂 )

Former Irish President Mary Robinson and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark went to the Rafah border crossing to denounce Israel’s blockade and show solidarity with the Palestinian people. 👏👏👏👏👏💙

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
