Mr Krabappel

We adopted some ex dairy cows who were considered no longer commercially viable and scheduled to be turned into mince.

They were 6 years old. Six. Years. Old. What a horrible life most dairy cows lead.

(Ours are very happy now. Frolicking and gambolling their hearts out every day)

Labor is even more dangerous; because they present a facade of caring, but because they receive squillions of dollars from fossil fuels continue to subsidise and open new ones.

He must be fucking desperate for attention.

Sad little incel.

I just made vegan French Toast for my wife. I've fooled a couple of carnivores with my recipe.

Can I be the FIFA Iron Chef?

Blue Rusties must be in hell right now.

Ley could capture public attention with some airy fairy policy like (say) smart cities linked to capitals by high speed rail with words like sustainability and "vision 2045" thrown in.

Instead she talks about spending. Their oblivion is prosaic.

nailed it

Yeah, where will it all end?

Their choice of not even trying to solve the housing crisis will come back to haunt them eventually.

“We live in one of the richest countries in the world, that can afford to drop a lazy $360 billion on a bad idea . . . yet, when it comes to health, education, aged care, apparently, so many of these things are unaffordable.” - Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO at The Australia Institute

I just got home from Melbourne after a long drive. Decompressed, poured a drink and gazed at the beautiful shimmering haze that envelopes the rolling hills of South Gippsland.

Then the cat jumped on my lap and sunk his claws in, as if to say WHERE IS MY FUCKING DINNER.

Love that boy.

Taxpayers treated like mugs for a Big Sport stadium stitch-up — while Tasmanians don't matter at all Tasmanian politicians are going to blow $1.1 billion on a stadium that will return less than half that in benefits, in a state with urgent health and education needs.

Melbourne has moved pretty quickly into "just fuck off" weather hey?

Keep your animals cool.

From memory, the Holyhead-Dublin ferry is about 100 quid return and the views as you drive through Wales to Holyhead can be pretty epic. Does English boyfriend fancy a Welsh holiday?

Wikipedia mentions the Au, NZ and South Vietnamese involvement.

It also mentions that Israel has an engineering unit dedicated to tunnel warfare. Wonder why they didn't use it (rhetorical).

He appealed justice Lee's ruling and it was formally denied, either today or yesterday.

His lawyer hinted at his supporters stepping in to fund a high court challenge. He is 2 million in the hole, so I doubt it. (I'll cry later)

Wanna solve the housing crisis? Unless you talk about tax, I don’t believe you.

When he returns, his reelection slogan will be "I will stop the bots".

And the wet season has barely begun. I was whining about a bit of spring rain...

Sorry to hear this, it must have been shocking and confronting to find him.

Sending empathy vibes through the ether. Take care of yourself.

It's a bit silly, in emoji speak, different colour hearts mean different things - the red heart means I love you and want to have sex with you, the pink heart means love but not sex, etc etc etc

But most email clients haven't caught up and just offer one heart.

Got both saturated and sunburnt today in Wonthaggi. #melbourneweather
