Didn't the sailor have health insurance?

Haha. That's always my thought now when I see a figure that close to it.

I’m even more full of confidence in AI now.

The perfect answer to the question “what do you think of all this snow?”

Economic growth.

There’s a phrase you’re not allowed to question.

Spotted in Insta and too good not to share

Developer signs Trump Tower deal for Gold Coast worth $1.5b Plans are underway for a $1.5 billion Trump Tower on Surfers Paradise, which would be one of Australia's tallest towers if approved.

If this is true, a whole lot of Queensland businesses are about to get stiffed.

Who thinks having a tower named after a pedophile is a good idea anyway?

I swear my dog can tell the time to the minute.

She’s now whinging because we go out for a walk at 4:30. 🙄

The starter packs certainly helped to get a group of trusted sources on subjects you’re interested in.

That’s before most people have heard him speak.

It can only go down from here.

Male?

If it was a LNP government, we’d all be thinking “just trying to keep the corruption hidden”.

With Labor? 🤷

To be fair to Angus, that whole description could apply to most Liberal MPs.

Would have been nice to have a Prime Minister with a spine.

More assault allegations surface against footballers in tiny town of Balmoral More women come forward with allegations of sexual assault in a small Victorian town, years after a rape victim was shunned by the town.

Well, just found out the story got even worse.

Is the culture around sports teams in small towns similar the world over? I doubt it's just an Australian thing.

Trump brings in new 10% global tariff: What it means for the UK UK households could be paying up to a few hundred pounds more each year, analysts warn

As long as the local footy team isn’t inconvenienced.

Mildly surprised he didn’t have them all arrested and detained for disrupting social cohesion.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

Why would any sane person travel to the USA while this administration is in charge?

She was held for weeks because her captors told her they got a bonus for each day of detention.

Especially concerning when you read stories like this

What an appalling story. How the town of Balmoral in Western Victoria came together to support two convicted (twice) rapists and vilify the victim and ostracise her family.

Disgusting.

It was Musk’s ‘genius’ that turned Tesla into a toxic brand just as the market for EVs was exploding in the rest of the world.

Barely a single GOP politician is prepared to sacrifice their place at the money trough to do the right thing

Just sitting down with a glass of Shiraz waiting for the Friday tradition of homemade pizza.

Cheers.

Surely it will be painted gold.

Same rookie mistake Bernie Madoff made.
