Make friends with local street library peeps. My Dad had to throw books out. He got two or more in for every one that went out.

One day you wake up and you are 58 years old and all of the professional people supporting you are younger than you.

When did it happen? How did it happen? Am I old now?

Yup. And soon.

Succession, then massive tariffs?

Not a collaboration with the modern nation state of Vietnam then?

You are right about drafts. Also, this is a kind of side-draft, so never to be the actual manuscript.

I do the double question marks for questionable content. Esp when I'm swearing at Martin Buber.

When you just copy the whole paragraph into your draft literature review - knowing at some future time there will be a reckoning with this content, but you don't and won't have the fortitude today.

Under fascism in a post-positivist era, do the constructivists become realists?

Struggling with the question: Am I a realist?

What would happen if we discovered the hole in the ozone layer now?

I shudder to think of Big Refrigeration choosing to refrain from changing their practices. And the sheeples in govt just letting them.

Happy birthday Ian. What a journey 🎊🎉😊

Suppress them in a cloud of busy-ness. And occasionally remind myself that we were all going to die of nuclear armageddon in the eighties. And here we are.

Come off it Barry. That's just rampant populism. LNP aren't going down that path. The campaign contributors tell us what to think, and we just parrot them.

Great recommendations. Esp #RaiseTheRate. As well as making food a human right, I'd also suggest making housing a human right - given the obvious links between housing security and food security.

Has this become another tick-tock influencer thing? 'Die in agony knowing you nearly accomplished a nearly impossible thing.'

Takes the term 'fuck you money' to a different level.

We all wished for ET and we got Star Wars. How's that?

Thank you Chris.

"I was present more than once as Israeli troops shot Palestinian children. Such incidents, in the Israeli lexicon, become children caught in crossfire."

For 'balance', I'm not interested in how the idf justify infanticide and the rest of their inhumane actions.

Well he's accurate in one statement. Sure there is a threat to civilisation - - the long standing civilisation of Palestine. And the so-called, self-titled civilised colonial nations supporting a literal genocide.

Shutting down the grand rounds on Gaza won't solve the hypocrisy in his views.

The public service commissioner needs to be sacked.

It was people speaking up about #RoboDebt that resulted in the very limited and disappointingly-lacking-in-consequences termination of the program.

Stupid or culpable, they're the two choices in interpreting these statements.

Or an invokation?

What a great kid. 🙂

Yes, this.

Yeah sure weirdo.

Jeff's not talking only about soya bean farmers. He's really talking to all tillers of the land. No matter their specific crops.

Yeah, they can shut the fuck up, or start their own political party.

Mmmm. But what about when they just won't leave -- and you can feel your bed drawing you in like a bad sci fi tractor beam?

Soooooooo cute 🥺

I can't respond. All my salami jokes are inappropriate for this age group.

The Manhattan Short Film festival is wonderful as usual.

Sorry to see that they have again platformed Isra3l. Maybe you don't see the genocide on you tv, on your devices, as we do.
