As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

Pauline Hanson: Why I Would Never Vote for One Nation I have been voting in Australian elections for decades. Over that time I have supported a range of parties and individuals – Liberal when I thought they had the right approach to the economy, Labor wh...

Pauline Hanson Why I Would Never Vote for One Nation

My opposition to One Nation is rooted in what I have seen it do to public life – the division it encourages, the fear it traffics in, the complete absence of anything constructive underneath the noise.

They did this at the last election. Libs gave PHON preferences and PHON gave them nothing, not anything, back. They've been told "change or die" and they will not change,

Sen. Tim Kaine says supporting Kristi Noem as DHS secretary was a "big mistake" Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, expressed regret on Sunday for supporting Kristi Noem for Department of Homeland Security secretary last year.

"Thankfully, I have learned nothing from this and will keep making that mistake over and over."

What is an unofficial bombing? What is "bombing love"? Is quoting Trump really, after all this time, the best way to find out what is being done under his orders? Never listen to this person again. Send her back a hundred years where she belongs

He's a capable actor who started in Disney movies. He holds up bad movies and doesn't detract from good ones, as you say. The original post in this thread implied that he's now working for $ over Art when I suggest what makes Kurt Russell is that he never tried to be Arty

Incredulous at ABC News tonight on warring Middle East;
Coverage wholly biased to Israeli/USA agenda, attacking retaliation by Iran.
Showed massive explosions in Iran - as graphics - without the slightest mention of casualties there.
Also no mention of Israeli offensive in Lebanon, Gaza & beyond

The titular "Magnificent Seven" from the 1960 movie.

The titular "Magnificent Seven" from the 1960 movie.

Ya know, I was always hard on "Magnificent Seven" because of my snobby attitude of "pfft, it's just a stupid cowboy copy of Seven Samurai." But having rewatched it yesterday, it's really a cool movie. Has its own identity and ideas. Still not as good as Seven Samurai but definitely worth a watch.

Subtweet: car dependent neighbourhoods are a systemic societal problem, but buying a giant Yanktank that does 15mpg instead of a Yaris that does 60mpg is a dickhead lifestyle choice for dickheads, and anyone suffering from high fuel prices as a result is suffering far less than they deserve
