BoN, from the linked Humlum article:
With such a background and reputation, Richardson and Charney would have felt comfortable in using Dine’s equations as a basis for their model.
For the next seventy years no-one thought to investigate model programming back to the very beginning.
But then in 2017, someone did.
A British climate researcher, Derek Alker went right back to Dine’s equations which underpinned the Richardson/Charney model – and most models since. He discovered that Dine’s equations were flawed. Not only were they flawed, they even contradicted the basic Laws of Thermodynamics.
Dine’s faulty equations invalidated the Richardson/Charney model. The error has continued into all the modern GCMs, all of which now appear to be faulty. It’s no wonder that they all show greater world warming than the observations.
Like wow! Must look into this further. It pays to regularly check any assumptions you make.

Eyrie – I don’t know about the climate models but I was once called in to consult on a certain multimillion dollar project. I put the chemistry into a thermodynamics package, as you do…delta G was positive. I changed the temperature, the pressure, the concentrations…delta G was positive for all combinations. A positive delta G means a chemical reaction won’t go under any circumstances.
They hadn’t ever actually checked this before they had embarked on the project. But I wasn’t liked for saying this, no sirree…

Here’s the thing. You walked right into that Eyrie. Heads I win, tails you lose.
The pro Putinists point out what a horrible/illegitimate President Poroshenko (also Kuchma, Tymoshenko etc)) was/were but also expect Zelensky who was a political outsider to abide by the accords.
The pro Putinists also then are likely to point out Russia has only been territorially aggressive during the eras of two US Presidents they deem illegitimate.
It boils down to “fuck Ukraine because our side lost the US elections in 2008, 2012 and 2020”. It is bizarre because they (justifiably) despised McCain/Romney after all.
It’s no reason at all to write off 44 million people.
You’re also ignoring Putin’s Pan-Eurasian Nazism which considers the Russian Empire as the highest moral authority in the world. Putin has been quite open about this.
Russia can’t even look after its infrastructure and it has the most nukes on paper, yet Putin is aggressively demanding that other nations do not arm themselves! Russia should give up their nukes. They almost started WWIII back in the 1990s due to crumbling infrastructure (shit radar that stopped working properly). They are in no position to make demands or dictate terms.
No one legitimately votes in Ukraine unless it is for a pro Russian union candidate.
Everyone but Yanukovych is a criminal and spook.
I think we can all agree that the Ukes have been at war with their own Russian speaking citizens since 2014. Enough evidence has been posted on this site alone.
We can also see that Ukrainian nationalism us a real thing. They are also squeezing the Hungarian minority in the west of Ukraine with a determination to prevent them using their own language in education, much as they did with the ethnic Russians. That is the reason Orban has limited Hungarian aid to Ukraine to only taking in refugees.
So where are the peacemakers? Surely, this situation is perfect for UN intervention and the deployment of peacekeepers in the Donbass to keep the warring groups apart, especially after eight years.
There are no peacemakers because too many parties want this war to continue regardless of the cost in human lives and suffering.
Dot, I believe you owe Eyrie an apology. By 2014, Yanukovych was long gone and Poroshenko could hardly be described as pro-Russian. In fact, it was he who uttered the most disgusting words about his fellow citizens that “our (Uke) children would be in kindergarten but theirs will be in caves”.
As I have said all along, the only solution is separation.
Sharri Markson in The Australian has been digging into Albo’s attempts this week to lie about his past:
Anthony Albanese worked as an electorate officer – not a Canberra-based ministerial adviser – during the time his boss, hard-left Labor figure Tom Uren was a minister in the Hawke government.
After failing to nominate the cash or unemployment rate this week, Mr Albanese sought to re-establish his economic credentials by claiming he was an “economics adviser” to the legendary, reformist Hawke government.
But records obtained by The Weekend Australian, including ministerial directories from the 1980s, Parliamentary Questions on Notice in 1985, Mr Albanese’s biography and accounts from multiple Labor figures working in the Hawke government all indicate Mr Albanese’s job for Uren when he was local government minister was as an electorate officer based in Sydney, not a ministerial ¬adviser in Canberra.
Parliamentary Questions on Notice, dated May 31, 1985, list Mr Albanese as the most junior member on Mr Uren’s staff as “Electorate Officer 1”.
Ministerial directories for the years Uren was a minister from 1983 until 1987 do not list Mr Albanese as a ministerial staff member.
In his biography, Albanese: Telling it Straight, for which the Labor leader co-operated with ¬author Karen Middleton, his job title in the year 1987 is referenced as an “electorate officer”.
“In what might be described as a substantial case of bad luck, he would find himself in a second ¬accident five years later (in 1987) when he was travelling in the back of a Commonwealth hire car in Canberra, where he was then working as an electorate officer to Minister Tom Uren,” it states, ¬referring to a car accident Mr ¬Albanese was involved in after an earlier one in 1982.
While based in Sydney, Mr ¬Albanese would travel to Canberra with Uren on occasion. The first time was as a “note-taker”. On this trip, Mr Albanese described himself as “an excited kid”.
Born in 1963, Mr Albanese was 22 when he started working for Mr Uren in 1985. At the time, Mr Albanese was considered a Socialist Left militant warrior and he ¬engaged in factional Labor Party activities, primarily based in Uren’s electorate office in ¬Granville, Sydney.
Middleton also wrote about how Uren took on “the young protege with his militant reputation”.
Mn Uren’s autobiography, Straight Left, he said that in the first two years Mr Albanese worked for him – from 1985 to 87, the period when he was a minister – they barely spoke.
“Anthony was an activist in Young Labor and was one of the main organisers of the Left in NSW,” Uren wrote.
“For the first year or two I never really badgered him. I would have talk (sic) with him occasionally, and just observe him, but I watched him a lot more than he realised.
“I was a minister and was fairly busy, whilst he had his own jobs.”
A Labor source who was a staff member in the Hawke government told The Weekend Australian that Mr Albanese “was not on Tom Uren’s ministerial staff. He was not an assistant private secretary or private secretary – these were ‘adviser’ positions at the time.
“A research officer is an electorate staff appointment,” the source said.
Former Labor leader Mark Latham, now leader of One ¬Nation in NSW, said Mr Albanese’s “main activity wasn’t working as a policy adviser in Canberra, it was a young Labor organiser”.
“Albanese worked in his (Uren’s) electorate office, he was an electorate staffer,” he said.
“Albanese spent most of his time in Sydney organising Young Labor numbers in the inner city.”
During the 80s, Mr Latham worked for Gough Whitlam, the Labor Party head office and later for Bob Carr.
“I was making speeches on the other side of the debate from Albanese,” he said. “He was the standard bread-and-butter leftie opposing Keating’s reforms at every turn. The stereotypical leftie from central casting.”
A senior Labor figure, who declined to speak publicly, recalled Mr Albanese’s work at the time was heavily factional for the Left.
“Albo was one of the leaders in their hardline activities on policy and in stacking the branches and use of the union movement to ¬attack the government that then became the modus operandi federally,” he said.
“Albanese was a very minor figure and worked out of the Granville office for a lot of the time, organising. I always thought he was an electorate officer.”
The Labor figure said that at the time Uren “was a very minor figure of no consequence in Canberra and that was reflected in his frustrations and ongoing attacks on the Hawke-Keating governments.”
During his time working for Uren, Mr Albanese engaged in factional Labor Party activities and also conducted research for the minister on economic policies.
The Labor Left regarded itself equally opposed to the Hawke government’s policies as the conservative opposition parties.
Uren was not in cabinet and was one of the strongest opponents to the Hawke-Keating economic reforms of the period. His policy views were regarded as entirely irrelevant and a cause for ¬annoyance by the senior figures in the Hawke government, particularly treasurer Paul Keating.
Mr Keating was reportedly furious when Hawke ruled that he needed to win support from the full ministry, not just the cabinet, for tax reform in September 1985.
“He had to endure opposition from left-wing ministers Tom Uren and Arthur Gietzelt, amid a marathon debate,” author Troy Bramston wrote in the biography Paul Keating: The Big Picture Leader.
Mr Keating, Bramston wrote, “was turning away from redistributive economics, class warfare and an ‘us and them’ mentality”.
Mr Keating voiced his frustration with the Left faction’s views in an attack at state conference.
“The Balmain Lefties … were all in good restaurants quaffing wine till 3.30 in the afternoon. That’s what aways galled me,” Mr Keating said in his speech.
Mr Albanese did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

John Hinderaker has found some interesting vaccine data.
Does Vaccination Make You MORE Likely to Catch Covid? | Power Line (14 Apr)
Pretty clear that it does, although Hinderaker is being cautious. The data that makes it abundantly clear to me is the first chart, where there’s a significant jump in infections for >5 mths after the original duo-vax and also >5mths after the booster.
Again to satisfy sceptical Cats note this is for infections not hospitalizations. On the other hand since unvaccinated people only have about 25% chance of catching the crud, based on Diamond Princess data, I suspect the chance of vaccinated people being hospitalized is actually higher, because more of them actually catch it in the first place. But maybe if someone could find a good cheap readily available antiviral protease inhibitor to treat all these infected people it might reduce the hospitalization rate across the board. I wonder what such a drug might be?

Qantas customer chief Stephanie Tully on holidays as colleagues man panic stations
It’s been all hands on deck – and in the terminals – over the Easter holiday break, with long queues and extended delays at airports across the country.
At Qantas, even senior executives have made the short drive from the airline’s Mascot HQ to the terminals – even after chief executive Alan Joyce initially blamed travellers who were “not match fit” – to help staff.
But there has been one executive absence noted by staff at this particularly difficult time. Where is Qantas chief customer officer Stephanie Tully? She is, after all, “responsible for all aspects of the customer experience”.
She’s on holidays.
Tully’s role places her aboard the airline’s 11-member management committee, which reports to Joyce. Margin Call is told she has been overseas. A Qantas spokesman confirmed that Tully was on holidays, but said she was only one of the senior executive team, many of whom would be working across the weekend, including Joyce himself.
Staff would surely be pleased to know that while they’re being seconded from their office jobs to work handling baggage, that the airline’s chief customer officer is enjoying a well-earned break.
More than 200 head office and other senior managers have been dispatched to Sydney and Melbourne airports in a bid to placate seething customers.

Climate modelling at a glance.
The same group of models are apparently able correctly hindcast the past 170 years of ‘global average temperature’ with astonishing accuracy – a band of 0.5°C either side of the mean and picking up major climate shifts along the way (scroll down to the first figure). This is accepted by the IPCC and the Climatariat as “evidence of skill”.
Anywhere else, this would be prima facie evidence that the models are all parameterised to fit the historical data – and thus are 97.3% useless as a forecasting tool.
Add to that the fact that the climate is already ignoring the models and running cooler than the 5:95 range of projections (scroll down to figure 1).
In the real world, the modellers would be standing outside on the pavement clutching their personal possessions in an archive box.

Actually the Russian speakers have been at war with the rest of Ukraine since 2014, since they’re the ones who seceded with help from Russia. Not unlike the US colonies being at war with the British crown. Similar sorts of grievances on both sides in that conflict, although in 1776 people were politer about it, at least in N America. Not so many massacres and rapes.
It’s a moot point though, since like a bad marriage they can’t live in the same house anymore. Dunno how it will turn out but it’ll be a bloody mess whichever way it does.

The problem is that no one’s ever fought a war the way Putin is fighting this war, because it’s stupid.
Withdrawing from Kiev caused a massacre of 345 ethnic Russians by the Ukes.
What will happen if he decides to withdraw from Mariupol?
Dot,
I really don’t believe your average Russian is interested in pan-Eurasian nationalism. If anything, it is a Putin and his stooges obsession. Just look at the opposition to this war within Russia itself.
It must be said that Russians in general do not like people from the former Soviet republics, although in the Far East, the significant Korean minority that were left behind by the defeated Japanese are treated better now than under Communism.
Ukrainian nationalism has a rather darker undertone. It is entirely ethnically based and for all the pumping of Zelensky and the plucky Ukes as liberal, Western types by our media, the actions of successive governments in attempting to forcibly Ukrainianise their ethnic minorities says otherwise.
That being said, the simplest fix is for Ukraine to allow the Donbass to have autonomy. No more Russians being expected to use the Ukrainian forms of their given names, no more renaming of their streets and towns unilaterally and no forcible removal of Russian language from their education system.
Again, why is there no interest in a peaceful settlement being found? The Ukrainian people deserve so much better than to be used as pawns in other people’s proxy wars. As much as the Ukrainian government’s use of military force against its own citizens was deeply wrong, that does not mean the Ukrainian people should suffer, too.
I am convinced that there are too many evil people (like that revolting female, Nuland) for whom power is the most important thing, little people be damned.
Rubbish.

Good stuff.

Take a hot partly cloudy city day in summer. Averages about 36 but a break in the cloud late in the afternoon could see that hit 40 for an hour as the heat shimmers off the tar and the record is broken for that day.
The previous record was set when the road and housing density was much lower and the tall buildings didn’t block the cooling breezes sucked in from the hills or the sea.
That day in the past would have been hotter overall but that’s not the story they want to sell so the dollars keep rolling in and the job position is assured.

Rubbish. Rabz thought it would be fun having Bird run amok for while except the “fun” lasts five minutes and the inevitable comes along because Bird can’t help himself, up comes Khazaria and the new homeland and on and on it goes.
I have heard that theory before, and yes it did used to be a large colony for the Jewish people (the Khazarian empire). However I’m skeptical on the “Zionist plot” to create a new empire.
One reason is that Zelensky is not a practicing Jew and is married to an Orthodox Christian (not that she is practicing either, but it does throw cold water on your theory).
The second is the Jews already have a home in Israel.
More likely this is born from a lust for money and power than anything else. The people behind the curtain who instigated the coup in 2014 (eg. Nuland , Soros, McCain) and have installed Zelensky into power (eg. Ihor Kolomoisky) want to keep power and their money. Although there are many Jews in that elite camp, there are also many non-Jews.
The thing is – Satan doesn’t care what your background is he will will try and ruin your soul any way he can.

We have the world is an historically dangerous position and the horrid fucker (actually, both horrid fuckers) thrashing around in the long grass and warbling about revised positions on fringe issues.

I am convinced that there are too many evil people (like that revolting female, Nuland) for whom power is the most important thing, little people be damned.
A problem world wide, including here.
See also Canadia, the US, UK, EU.

There is no such thing as a little Bird. Sooner or later you get full Bird.

The only encouragement Rabz did was for Bird to step away from the obis.
To frame it approval is a low act.
Thanks JD will try.

This is what you wanted Rabz.
Where are all the howls of disgust now?”
And what do you want Struth? Perhaps you should also clean up your own backyard. There are two posters on your site that post absolute defamatory filth.
China turns back on the West as oil giant exits UK, US and Canada ‘over sanction fears’
CHINA’s state oil giant CNOOC is reportedly set to halt operations in the UK, US, and Canada amid fears of sanctions, a report has claimed.
Trying to put myself in the shoes of the average normie who isn’t a political junkie.

More likely this is born from a lust for money and power than anything else. The people behind the curtain who instigated the coup in 2014 (eg. Nuland , Soros, McCain) and have installed Zelensky into power (eg. Ihor Kolomoisky) want to keep power and their money.
This corruption extends to some extent into virtually all “democracies”, and is endemic in authoritarian and dictatorial governments.
Stfu Bird, you idiot. Leave the gal alone, you fat useless NZ imbecile. You ought to be deported.
Rabz made a public plea for dover to keep bird here.
Yet have a go at other blogs he turns up at.
like notaclue talking about Catholicism the lack of self awareness is staggering .

Scotty is an okay guy [for a PM]
Remember Turnbull, Abbott, Rudd, Howard, Keating, Hawke and Fraser?
They were and are all “horrid Fuckers”.
Let’s compare how Australia is traveling compared to the rest of the Anglosphere?

Pop over to Michael Smith News and check out the smiling congeniality of Jenny Morrison as she shakes Albo’s hand at an Easter service.
Look at the grip Albo has on her hand. What man shakes a lady’s hand like that?
Shades of Latham.
There really are some pathetic obsessed people in the world, predictable repetitive abuse is their only ‘contribution’.
I love the way Leak characterise’s Albanese.
The recent one of “painting in the corner’ and todays are classics.
And thanks Tom again for the daily 4:00am contribution.
I clean up bird on the freedom site.
I don’t clean up people speaking poorly of others.
But I tell you what when you guys do it here we’ll do it there.
You’re quite welcome to head over and have a go.
I looked at it and claiming they were trying to dox you seemed a stretch.
They obviously don’t like you.
But let’s try to keep the rabid hypocrisy down.
If dover took out all the mean and bitchy comments here he wouldn’t have a blog.
You’re a big girl go and sort them out.
Director of a company I worked for was a Colonel in the Hungarian division of the German Army WWII. Had the photos. He said it was our only way to survive, nobody thought any less of him including the ANZAC’s working there. Everyone called him the Colonel. He was upfront about what he did. On the other hand a friend of Polish extraction whose parents were Polish refugees, when at a party they had her old man and his mates were pretty pissed and I picked them as being ukes by the things said about their wartime experiences. I mentioned it to womans husband who was my mate. He said don’t go there. These people were not like other Poles I’d met.
Whose son swam the Tiber, became a prominent Jesuit theologian and was later made a Cardinal.
Not many people know that.
Meanwhile, John Foster’s brother headed up the CIA until JFK fired him.
A twitterer I used to follow developed a Jenny Morrison obsession.
All her hand gestures are now ‘ok signs’.
What causes people to dive down these rabbit holes?
Paddington, Woolhara would have to be the prettiest suburb combination in the world. I reckon there’s just nothing that compares.
what’s that apostrophe doing there/
Who’s the woman in the blue dress sitting next to Tony Abbott in the handshake pic at MichaelSmithNews?
Thanks Roger. Correct, I was thinking of Allen.
JFK fired him and sealed his death warrant. Dulles sought to stitch JFK up over the Bay of Pigs (after JFK stitched Dulles up by refusing military support for the operation.)
Dulles turned Gehlen- and many other nazis- into seriously effective CIA assets post war.
Bottom line is – the CIA get what they want. Brennan demonstrated that , helping to oust Trump.
They are fundamentally disappointed with their lives and latch on to conspiracy theories to gain a sense of self-importance. They have access to secret knowledge most others don’t.
Smart money would be on Dover being otherwise occupied over Easter.
Possibly a stretch to assume he’s delighted to have Bird running around whooping, with his dick out.
John Foster certainly wasn’t without a say in CIA affairs, Makka.
Having his brother head it up was, as one can imagine, very convenient.
And just like that the Catallaxy gang was again in favour of moderated comments.
I wish you’d make yer minds up.
At least give it to Rabz.
He might not want some posting here but bird’s a keeeper.

Wondered that myself but it could be anyone at a service or another Abbott sister or relative, maybe a friend of the Morrisons.
Yes, I have to keep reminding myself to do that.
Of course. Running State he basically set up the post-war dynamic in Europe from ’53 to the end of the decade. While his brother did the dirty work at the Agency.
The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government
Not a bad read to understand the going’s on of that time. Unfortunately openly leftist at the end but the facts are laid out.
That’s a good explanation Roger.
I suppose too if your focus is on the quality of your life something else is also lacking.
“Wondered that myself but it could be anyone at a service or another Abbott sister or relative, maybe a friend of the Morrisons.”
None of Abbott’s sisters (he has three) are nuns. One is now a lesbian married to another woman and Abbott….whom the left regard as the perpetual bigot, attended his sister’s SSM wedding.
Such a bigot.

Matt Kean aka Matt the Green is calling for Katherine Deves to be dumped.
Don’t you just love these far-left Liberals?
Kean should demonstrate that he is a man of principle, and resign from the Liberal Party.
And it is striking that some of the most damning evidence has come from those who were most open about their discomfort at being in the courtroom.

‘the lady doth protest too much’
Journalism Age style delivered by clueless millennials.
When the US confiscates your stuff merely for being Russian, and now says they will never return those goods (it is theft) don’t expect any country to invest in the West.
The capital will now cease flowing as a two-tiered world economy is rapidly being put in place.
The US just shot themselves in the foot again.
These people are so stupid.
There’s not enough looking into the tax returns of Australia s pollies.
Clearly the Swedes need to do more to combat right wing extremism.
“Especially since the “historical data” has also been “adjusted” to fit the model output.”
I’m sure this is just an amazing coincidence…
You’re an ATO auditor now, Stuth?
Doesn’t look like an Abbott relative, but Abbott doesn’t look real happy with the photographer.
She may be speaking to Scotty’s other daughter, obscured by Albo.
Here it is:

If the dems were out to destroy the US then what they are doing should be expected.
Which they obviously are.
Stupid…or the globalist enemy entrenched in the halls of power?
It should be fairly obvious by now.
No but you’re still a sniping dick head obviously.
Oh Look, it’s the Leadership dissembling again. Moderating Bird out of existence is not identical to the bullshit you were doing to comments on the Thought Leadership threads, you mindless dickhead. It’s never been and will never be the same.
I wasn’t talking about the Nun [wearing a blue habit] sitting at Tony’s left, Smarty Pants.
I’m talking about the very attractive woman wearing a blue dress sitting next to Tony, on his right hand side.
“I’m talking about the very attractive woman wearing a blue dress sitting next to Tony, on his right hand side.”
Except Eddy, she’s not wearing a blue dress. She’s wearing a floral dress with a red cardigan. Are you colour blind?

Dickless
Did the thought enter your very tiny mind, that Abbott might just be pissed off with j’ismists in general, and those who intrude on religious services in particular?
Interesting.
“I’m talking about the very attractive woman wearing a blue dress sitting next to Tony, on his right hand side.”
The whole thing is just a media stunt for some publicity & pix .. why on earth would a grope of troughers turn up at a church in, no-where land, Punchbowl, NSW unless it was pre-arranged?
Matt Kean aka Matt the Green is calling for Katherine Deves to be dumped.
If she’s going off the reservation, then flick her now while there’s still 5 weeks to go.
She may be attempting to win the Seat by doing
a Pauline Hanson/Oxley/1996, which is okay though short sighted,
but Scotty can’t afford to be putting out grassfires that she’s lit as the Endorsed Candidate.
In the Dulles’ brothers’ favour, they were vehemently anti-Communist. John Foster carried over from the Truman administration George Kennan’s doctrine of containment of the Soviet Union, cementing it as US policy, which would eventually lead to the the Soviet Union’s demise.
Who is she, smart arse?
CHINA’s state oil giant CNOOC is reportedly set to halt operations in the UK, US, and Canada amid fears of sanctions, a report has claimed.
Two things:
1) Not a good sign. Potentially a harbinger that Emperor Xi can see advantage in China coming to the aid of his BFF, Poot, as Russia flounders in Ukraine.
2) When CNOOC bought into Nexcen’s North Sea interests it famously paid far more the assets were worth as a ‘strategic premium’ for operatorship.
It has struggled in the North Sea regulatory, infrastructure and tax mire and will be happy to realise the current oil price.
So, win-win-win.
Except Eddy, she’s not wearing a blue dress. She’s wearing a floral dress with a red cardigan. Are you colour blind?
He’s not blind Cassie but I’d say he’s politely admiring her décolletage.
Very coy for Ed.
Invading another country with a conscript army isn’t really showing restraint.
Because they are less disciplined or motivated than regular troops?
Or because they are shit and likely to call down artillery rather than get shot?
I think its pretty awesome, its revealed just how wrong I was on the effectiveness of conscripts as a viable ‘backbone” for a military.
They seem to be fine on their own turf, on the defensive, but catastrophically inept at attacking or supporting their armor units.
Some countries seem to do conscripts ok, but again on the defensive. I wonder just what % of a force has to be regulars vs conscripts to be effective?
And no, I dont support Vlad, hes a poisonous turd who was fine with meddling in Ukraine behind the scenes until his puppet was overthrown by other shit peoples selection.
Just another trivial distraction by the MSN to feed the chooks.
Don’t know if it helps re climate “modelling” but I have found the following to be a useful life-hack since the very early days of the COVID scam.
Substitute the word “bullshit” for “model/modelling” whenever mouthed by a politician, official, or TV talking head.
This will result in an instant improvement in both clarity and accuracy.
“Who is she, smart arse?”
I don’t know Eddy. But do you admit she’s wearing a floral dress and not a blue dress?
..
I moderated your comment at the outset, and consequently improved my threads because they subsequently didn’t have any of your vile crap.
“I don’t need to know naffing”.
Go on, fuck this thread up like you do everywhere you drag your putrid carcass.
Abbott would have a P.A., obviously it’s not going to be a Nun, so she’s Tony’s P.A..
Is it Kathy Jackson?
https://michaelsmithnews.typepad.com/.a/6a0177444b0c2e970d02942fa51ecb200c-pi
This really is grotesque.
They know a bit about operating in corrupt states without the Rule of Law.
Hell, I didn’t even moderate you, I just moved the comment to the open thread as I made a judgement call that it was off topic.
The subsequent dummy spit meant I was free any of your stupid shit,
Good.
Reimagineing things again Arky?
My favouritist Eastery themed picture.
Daily Tele.
Excellent question.
Nothing better to think about. Or as my granny would put it, “Idle hands are the devil’s playground.”. Just substitute “minds”.
No wonder Saint Paul tells us to take every thought captive.
In other news, I see we’ve had the usual Free Speech skirmish and subsequent cleanup.
“I wouldn’t even moderate you on my Tumblr account”
Worthy of Sargon.
No you didn’t, you lying piece of lard. I never posted on your stupid threads because they were word salad crapola. I actually never even read them either and only became aware of the shit you were pulling because people like Tom complained about your behavior. When Tom complains about stuff like that, we know which side of the track is the wrong side. You dishonest lowrent freak.
Correct, you’re a fat lard ball who has no idea about much.
I don’t. It’s you that fucks up threads even open threads, you vile piece of shit. Everything you say about me is projecting.
Let me repeat again, so you don’t get away with your bullshit again. What you were doing on the Thought leadership threads is nothing like banning Bird, you hypocrite.
You’re like a blog version of Satan. You change the tempo on every blog thread with evil, negative crap.
Australian conscripts in PNG were extremely good. You could argue that PNG was then part of Australia but in the 1945 Bougainville offensive for example there was a widely held view that it was an unnecessary campaign*. Yet the guys fought superbly.
(* I don’t think so, for several reasons, but then I might think differently if I was waist deep in swamp whilst carrying a Bren.)
Trump joins the neo-con wackos.
Has fallen in with Hannity and is babbling on about ‘genocide’ in Ukraine.

Uh huh. Not very creepy at all *checks where the doors are* Does Mother need a new dress?
