Refused to show my (non existent) “papers” for the first time today and was asked to leave an eatery in Ballarat, they couldn’t even have us sit outside and my mate go inside to do the ordering and he is vaxxed.
That place is The Golden City Hotel who can go and fuck themselves.

A short walk away we found a nice little cafe who couldn’t give a shit and because of the shithole we now find ourselves existing in, they shall remain nameless.

I was reading some research today showing that pre natal visits in NSW during 2020 & 2021 were down 30% on the average of 2017 to 2019.
If that number is replicated across other OECD countries, I think that’s a number that should be factored into the stillbirth/miscarriage discussion.

Was Breyer just pushed from SCOTUS?

Looks like it.
It all points to getting the unqualified affirmative-action candidate confirmed prior to the mid-terms.

This is an undeniable & very tangible sign the deep state believes that the mid-terms will go very badly for them, as Breyer has given every impression of wanting to stay longer.

I sat and watched the show with the rest of the proles last night at the Opera House as my other half had scored free tickets.
As I watched the ‘entertainment’ unfold, I could only think of the times to come…

Bread and circuses for the masses, yet I watched on, without a flitter of emotion of any kind as the performers did their thing…

Chap had an interesting speculation over on instapundit.

IF China and Russia had agreed to put the squeeze on the EU/US around the same time how would they prepare?

The Ukraine is a pretty large grain producer, id imagine China gets quite a bit of product from them.
If Russia was looking to disrupt supplies for at least one season then it might explain why China has stocked up big on fertiliser.
If Ukraine is rooted, us Aussies are off limits and they have a shot at the US over Taiwan then they are preparing for a bout of self sufficiency.

Is that complete tin foil hat?
Because it seems to have a touch of logic about it to me.

We are thinking of booking a cruise under sail for August 2023. Adriatic and Agean. Want to go see Corfu for a port of call, as I’ve just finished Gerard Durrell’s ‘Corfu Trilogy’. No stabilisers, of course, and the cabins (even the $35 k stateroom suite which we won’t be taking) look pretty ordinary. Much in the price depends on whether you are midships or not. Is it worth paying an extra $5k each just for a slightly better (less bumpy) position on the same deck? Tossing it up. How much does it really matter to us?

Good thing I am an excellent sailor. Will position myself in the library for the journey anyway to avoid the drear of the cabins. Sitting under the billowing sails re-reading a Jack Aubrey tale would be good too.

Neil Young Forces Spotify to Choose Between Him and Joe Rogan. Spotify Chooses Rogan

“Singer Neil Young, greatly, greatly overestimating his relevance and clout, demanded that Spotify either drop Joe Rogan or drop him.

Spotify thought about this for five minutes — four minutes and fifty six seconds were taken up trying to figure out who Neil Young was (He’s not an astronaut, is he?) — and then decided, “Uh, yeah. Okay, bye-bye then.”…”

“It’s better to burn out, than to fade away.” Bwahaha.

Oh ho ho ho ho. Media tart decides she doesn’t like media (the Hun):

Former Australian of the Year and sexual assault survivor Grace Tame has walked away from a tennis event at Federation Square.

Tame, who triggered a media storm by refusing to smile while meeting with Prime Minister Scott Morrison at the Australian of the Year, was invited to attend Tennis Australia’s annual AO Inspirational Series.

She arrived with her fiancé Max Heerey and upon being informed there were some media gathered at the media wall she looked unsettled before heading off from the venue.

And who else was at the venue? Well:

Other guests at Zinc at Federation Square included Shaynna Blaze, Mary Coustas, Rosie Batty, Peggy O’Neal and Sally Capp.

Public service announcement.

I have listened to probably 2/3 (it is 4hr 13 mins) of the Joe Rogan interview with Jordan Peterson podcast. Jordan is an interesting and very smart guy but I found it quite boring and only kept going as thought might get onto an interesting topic like Covid restrictions and mass psychosis or even Trudeau. Probably too deep for me and Jordan comes across as somebody who has so many things in his head he wants to get them out. Ended up fast forwarding to see if anything of interest.

Ok if you are a shrink but I found it to be one of the worst interviews Rogan has done. My English comprehension and education pretty good but I found some of his themes a bit too deep and some sentences almost gobbledygook.

Both my adult kids like Jordan but I would not recommend they listen as they would not thank me after listening.

Anybody else have thoughts ?

Here we go (from the Oz)

Covid election ‘most complex’ in history

Health ­restrictions are likely to cause delays at federal election polling booths, as QR-code check-ins, Covid-safe measures, and social-distancing adds to voting times.
Prepare to be disenfranchised

Qld held a state election in late 2020, and a local govt election. The sky didn’t fall.

WA held a state election without the sky falling (except for the Liberal party). NSW just held a local govt election (albeit apparently with some hitches caused by trying to be too clever?) Didn’t Tasmania also hold a state election mid-coved panic? The island didn’t sink or float away.

Given that, if the AEC cannot organise themselves to hold a federal election on behalf of the people of this wide, brown and occasionally green land, they’re not worth feeding.

Frankly, I’m sick and tired of government employees, public servants, who consider themselves unable, unready or unwilling to do the job they’re paid very well – by us – to do for us and on our behalf. Enough! They can get off their collective arses and make it work. And they can do it without whinging.

Rant over. Not in a mood tonight to be stuffed around by any bureaucrat, public servant or politician. Or “expert”, for that matter.

Whenever such news is posted here the usual suspects totally ignore the substance of the news and bash the poster with, “Pizza”, a meme they know was constructed to blow cover smoke Paedophile Networks.

And here you are again, you multi named cowardly bully, blowing “Pizza” Cover Smoke for those busted BABY RAPERS like your life depends on it, when you could have responded like a normal person with something like, “Hell, what evil bastards.

There is nothing sinister in countries that require people to be ‘fully vaccinated’ to enter insisting that if your last shot was more than x number of days ago you can’t come in.
After all the huffing and puffing about how the vaccines wane in efficacy over time, it would be bizarre if they didn’t insist your vaccinations are up to date.
The EU might be banning Australians for now because of of our high infection rate but some individual member states are allowing fully vaccinated Australians in.
You just have to check, Italy continues to welcome the fully vaccinated 🙂
As for ending international travel for ordinary people.
No, ludicrous, Spain and Italy for example are extremely reliant on ordinary international tourism and France ski resorts were going spare about UK tourists of the shop assistants from Manchester variety not being allowed in (a decision quickly reversed).
Not to mention all the international airlines, every single one of which I’m fairly confident would go broke without economy class passengers.
I’m here in Corsica out of tourist season, January is when tourism services providers take their holidays, although Rome, which is always busy, was very busy.
And entering Italy, then France were a big zero in terms of difficulty.

Today the sun shone and the bus to Parata* turned up.
Magnificent views of the Corsican coast and a couple of small islands.
I was very fortunate to see two large dolphins at the lookout point.
There is an easy walk and a difficult walk, I started back on the difficult walk but it was ‘step’ narrow and sometimes on the very edge of the cliff overhanging the sea so I opted for the goat tracks away from the sea instead..
I can’t imagine such a walk would be open to the public in Australia.
*Corsican place names are Italian so the French have complicated things by not pronouncing the final a in Parata

Up early today, went outside and saw the Space Station slowly moving (or is it Earth that is moving?) across the sky.

We don’t hear much about it, but every time I see it it blows my mind. There are actual people up there, “sitting in a tin can, far above the world.”

I know that the bean counters keep trying to shut it down, but I’m glad they haven’t succeeded. Apart from scientific data, it must be an excellent live lab for figuring out the realities of humans spending long periods in a tin can, both physically and mentally.

In these rather bleak times, it is a symbol of human aspiration.

“Pride jumper a step too far for Muslim player

The AFLW’s first Muslim player, Haneen Zreika, will not play in an LGBT pride match after deciding the jumper does not align with her religious beliefs.”

So, I look forward to the progressive Twitter pile because of her religious beliefs, I look forward the incessant smearing of her and her religious beliefs, I look forward to the luvvies using this to attack her religious beliefs and the screams of “homophobia”……you know, just like they did with Israel Folau.

How deep is the rot in USA?
Every day I am confronted by stories which indicate that there’s no way the situation will be fixed by fair elections in November.
Stories like the DOJ saying that an arsonist in the BLM riots was just a protester, even though he killed someone, or the night flights all over the country seeding illegal migrants into unsuspecting communities, or Fauci still having a job when he’s floating the idea of babies getting a three shot vaccine program!
Just the fact that there are so many blue states tells you a lot. That’s before we get to the Republicans and their greed for money outweighing their support for the national interest.

Up early today, went outside and saw the Space Station slowly moving (or is it Earth that is moving?) across the sky.

We don’t hear much about it, but every time I see it it blows my mind. There are actual people up there, “sitting in a tin can, far above the world.”

I know that the bean counters keep trying to shut it down, but I’m glad they haven’t succeeded. Apart from scientific data, it must be an excellent live lab for figuring out the realities of humans spending long periods in a tin can, both physically and mentally.

It’s a big field, but this piece of rubbish from TheirABC this morning is top of my charts for the most egregious example of dragging every cliche beloved of the Left into one article in 2022:

Leaking methane from natural gas-burning stove tops is releasing the greenhouse-gas equivalent of hundreds of thousands of cars, and cooking on gas stovetops is posing a risk to health, according to new research.

In findings that have taken researchers by surprise, more than three quarters of methane emissions from stovetops were leaking into houses while the appliances were not in use.

They’re the results from a study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, which looked at natural-gas emissions from stovetops in households in the United States.

On and on it goes, about how gas stoves are murdering children and Da Planet – but alas, they have no actual bodies to prove it – and pretty much every talking point is in there.

Finally:

She worried that equity issues meant that more vulnerable individuals and renters may be most impacted.

“It’s the most vulnerable that are being hit hardest — the young, the elderly, the asthmatic,” Dr Charlesworth said.

Energy and climate change policy expert Donna Green from UNSW said she wasn’t surprised by the findings, and the fact we’re still burning fossil fuels in our homes “is nuts”.

We’ll be in shock in decade’s time that we actually did this,” Associate Professor Green said.

“There’s no excuse other than a lack of awareness and a really good campaign by the fossil fuel industry to sell us something we [don’t need].

“Every [house] from now on should be putting in induction, especially because the price of induction stove tops is so cheap now.”

The Climate Council published a report last year that estimated that cooking with gas was responsible for around 12 per cent of the “burden of childhood asthma” and was comparable to household cigarette smoke.

Annoyed that gas is supplanting coal for producing electricity, the people who want everyone except them to live in caves are now on a crusade against gas.

As for the Climate Council’s ‘estimates’ – I estimate that they are fanatics and have not a skerrick of hard evidence.

Hilarious about the stovetop gas leaks. I have been looking out for the media facts and figures about the Tongan volcano – how much carbon dioxide released (if any) , toxic gases, tons of particulate matter in the upper atmosphere darkening the skies and cooling the planet etc etc. I did notice a short report prior to the volcano eruption describing some research that indicated particulate matter seems to lead to lightning strikes. If so, look out for excess lightning in the next few years. On the whole however media seems to be totally incurious about after effects of the Tongan volcano, which seemed to me to be a massive natural phenomena.

“Induction cooktops are so cheap” – what a load of horse hockey

Bullshit on stilts.

Like EVs, it isn’t the initial cost that’s prohibitive (although they are ridiculously expensive and that might just give a prospective purchaser pause in choosing one.

Here’s the for:

Fast and efficient

Here’s the against:

Expensive to buy
Require a smaller hole to be cut in the benchtop* (I will get to this later)
Extremely expensive to repair (as in you may as well buy a new one)
Technicians rarely if ever carry spares, so parts take forever to order and land
Any fault means the entire thing is useless, not just one burner

I had a SOTA induction that went bung after 5 years. The spare to fix it cost almost as much as a new top. I decided to go conventional electric on the advice of the techie. So… the hole in the benchtop had to be enlarged to take it at considerable inconvenience (not cost).

My advice – do not buy.

Domestic violence orders are almost unique, in that they are civil orders made by courts but with criminal penalties attached for breaching them.

Because they are a civil order, the civil standard of proof – the balance of probabilities – applies instead of the more onerous criminal standard, which is beyond a reasonable doubt.

In practice, this means that people with real or imagined axes to grind against their hubby/wife/BF/GF etc can apply for one of these, turn up to court, and have an order of this type issued as long as their story is a) plausible, and b) difficult to immediately refute.

The penalties are (or were) designed to be added onto original offences. For example – an order says no contact by electronic or personal means. A single text sent by a person subject to an order then becomes an offence of using a carriage service (the phone network) to menace, harass or offend, as well as a breach of that order.

Repeated texts intended to terrify the victim becomes stalking, as well as a breach.

Unfortunately, years of falsely ground axes meant that the conditions of said orders became largely for show, and also that the penalties started to be imposed concurrently, rather than on top of any sentencing for the standalone offences.

Those years of vindictive and later proven false accusations against blokes who have separated from, or otherwise annoyed their other halves have therefore resulted in people like O’Keeffe getting wet-lettuced.

The dying media us breathing deeply on the Bullshit Ventilator-tge following is a comment from a non-complying friend: One wonders how different Australia would look and feel if the mainstream media reported the facts about Covid, such as the fact that people under-50 account for more than three quarters (78.91 per cent) of all cases in Australia but have a case fatality rate of only 0.04 per cent. Although clearly tragic, there have been 3,140 deaths associated with Covid-19 in Australia, to date, and  1,176 were aged-care residents (mostly in Victoria). In fact, aged-care cases account for less than two per cent of all cases, but almost half of all deaths, according to the government’s Covid-19 data. If more people knew this, would they still be afraid?
The pictures painted by the data and by legacy media journalists are vastly different. The data reveals a virus that many catch but which kills only the most vulnerable, the sick, and the elderly. The legacy media outlets continue to report daily case numbers, an irrelevant statistic, thus keeping many people perpetually anxious (and this after 90 per cent of the population is double-vaccinated). When will it end? Only when we stop paying attention to daily case numbers.

Where do Horizons rate?

On a scale comparative to quiz show hosts – Magda Szubanski.

Several people noted on Soshul Meeja yesterday that the random uncontrolled violence induced by mental illness is never directed at men.

Yep. My arse it’s ‘uncontrolled’.

There seems to a level of awareness somewhere in there that if these ‘men’ acted in the manner they did to blokes instead of the ladeeees, there might be some impromptu dental work carried out.

It reminds me of a doco where a sensible woman said – how come these guys don’t throw a few punches at the guy next to them at the pub? Why do they always wait until they get home?

Now, we know that sometimes they do throw punches at the guy next to them at the pub, but we also know that many of them are polite at the pub and save it for the wife and kids at home. It is a more intense version of what I have seen many a time – Dad comes home from work and his first words are “Why are those bikes on the lawn? I’ve told them a thousand times to bring them in” followed by “what’s that dog doing in here? Put it outside!”

Welcome home, Dad. I’ve seen this in mild mannered and otherwise devoted fathers and husbands, over and over. There first words and reactions are angry ones. Do they feel that they are storming the citadel, or what?

The problem with all of those beautifully aromatic pipe tobaccos was that the smelt much better for bystanders than they tasted for the smoker.

It hardly needs to be said that Winfield Blues were the gold standard.
They still are.

Oh wait….here’s my prediction, all we will hear is silence.

Silence – not initially Cassie.
Short, factual reporting only with no judgements being bandied around. Just for a day and then completely drop the story for the silence to begin.

PS the Daily Mail’s reporting includes this gem: It has been estimated that between 75 and 80 per cent of the AFLW competition identify as being LGBTQI. Colour me surprised.

So, I look forward to the progressive Twitter pile because of her religious beliefs,

There is a tweet Dover linked to on this page.

One guy is saying that she has no basis for objecting because it is supposed to be inclusive. But she is not objecting to gay people playing (she would know there are plenty) but to the Pride series – another word that, like ‘gay’ before it, has been pressed into service to reshape people’s response to pooh-jabbing and rug-munching.

The Pride series is about promoting gays. And it is not just in the abstract but it is also tied to a whole political agenda. There is much that a person of conscience might object to.

But if they have the Pride thing going on, and punish people who do not go along with it, then what does it celebrate? It is really the AWFL foisting a policy upon people, with no recourse or room for conscience, and to be trying to force people into an opinion (if not sincerely held then they must act it – the AWFL owns its fans and players and they must comply.)

Another person posited that there were gay Muslims. Forgetting for the moment that this player had not raised any objections to gay Muslims, just the Pride thing, he seems to be saying that if another person who calls themselves Muslim accepts one interpretation (that being gay is consistent with Islam) then it is also binding on everyone else.

Does that make sense? That each other adherent’s understanding of your beliefs override your own understanding. And why don’t gay Muslims have to defer to the understanding (the prohibition of homosexuality) that others hold.

If Catholics discover that there is a Catholic out there who has beaten his wife, do they have to accept that it is OK for them to do it?

Of course, this particular guy is most like a progressive, and there is only one way of thinking permitted, and it is progressive. If you are a Muslim, or a Catholic, or a Hindu*, you are nevertheless required to be progressive first. You can have your religion in the little corners where left wing thought has not crept into yet. You can go to Mass on Sunday and get a wafer on your tongue, but you cannot go outside and say you consider adultery is wrong – it might offend adulterers.

Eventually progressives with feel the need to adjudicate on whether communion hosts are permitted according to their rigid and unbending pieties.

*Jews have no rights to anything. Apparently.

Biden and Justice Stephen Breyer are expected to hold an event at the White House Thursday to formally announce Breyer’s plans to retire, according to a person briefed on the planning who was not authorized to publicly discuss it in advance.
Early discussions about a successor are focusing on U.S. Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, U.S. District Judge J. Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger, according to four people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss White House deliberations. Jackson and Kruger have long been seen as possible nominees.

So its a stove not a dress or apron.

By stove, I assume you mean one with a seperate grill.
(Fondly remembers the ritual mopping up the leavings of grilled T-bone
with bread and toasting it.)

Exactly. Gay’s can’t reproduce so they need to recruit.
