Thinking about the medical profession, a number of people I was acquainted with at High School went into medicine and none of them were particularly pleasant. More drawn to the income and prestige than any desire to help ill people I suspect. Sort of explains why many doctors seem quite ok with the vacuum aspirator and the Sopher forceps.

Yep I would thing chalk would be more environmentally friendly (sorry) than white board markers.
One of our uni lecturers used chalk and kept his notes loose in a Coles plastic bag (remember those). The prescribed text was Crapp, Mathematical Economics. He began, “This is the only course where you will get credit for quoting Crapp at me.” I suspect he is still using that joke today.

Conservatives are conservationists, or ought to be.
Cf Roger Scruton’s writings on the subject.
They’re just not ideologues or virtue signallers about it, and they don’t elevate nature to deity status over humanity.
This goes back to Genesis 1, properly understood, which is to say that man is created as a steward of creation, not a despoiler. That doesn’t preclude the creative use of earth’s resources for the common good, but it frames that activity within a larger picture.
Well said Roger
At recent family gathering I raised the topic of whiteboards & have they really taken over from blackboards, with my sisters & nieces – schoolteachers all of them.
The nieces had never seen a blackboard in a classroom.
“And whiteboards went out of use before we became teachers Uncle Salvatore” they said.
(Mention of ‘whiteboards’ had them all looking at me like I’d started growing a set of private parts out of my forehead)
“Er… so waddaya use?” I asked weakly, as if I’d been sandbagged (which I had)
Then followed an insiders conversations with their mothers & aunts about the exact ‘hookup’ (or whatever) they used in their school or classroom.
I retreated to the comfort of whisky & the snooker table.
“Actually … I don’t look at my salary – I’m assuming it’s about $260,000 or $280,000.”

I know some of guys want to see the Libs lose badly in this coming election and like last time the innaccurate polls are suggesting a comfortable Liars Party win. Be a little objective and answer this. Do you think there’s a great deal of hostility towards the Libs? Frankly I don’t see it.
My pleasure.
Grace Tame puts on her reporter hat and bawls her eyes out at rub and tug’s rags to arsehole story.
Plus her mate brittany is upset that her counselling notes were given to defendant in her rape allegation. If these notes are exculpatory it does not matter if their disclosure was inadvertent. Their role in any trial will be a major issue especially if they make their way into the public arena.
Do you think there’s a great deal of hostility towards the Libs?
or maybe no enthusiasm for the official alternative who has all the appeal of a fart in a lift as TLS did in 2019
Now I am intrigued.
What to teachers use instead of whiteboards or blackboards?
(I don’t know any teachers and avoid children wherever possible).
Lieborals are definitely overdue a term or two infighting in Opposition and asking why they even exist at all.

The hostility is from the Media Owners and their employees.
Liberal Party pols are routinely victimised by Media and they take it in their stride rather than push back.
People generally find it hard to identify with that.

In fighting back news it was good to see :
Tim Pool, with help from The Daily Wire, paying for a sign in Times Square today that Taylor Lorenz of Washington Post had doxxed the female behind Libs of Tik Tok. Pools issues was that WA Po actually denied they did it.
The Babylon Bee have actually taken on the Libs of Tik Tok owner and put her on salary.
Libs of Tik Tok have had a sudden increase, 300,000, in subscribers and now at a million.
Never seen them but apparently their thing is to highlight posts by those on the left such as teachers bragging about what they are teaching kids.
Great to see some of those on the right such as Shapiro and James Woods suddenly picking up big numbers of new Twitter subscribers.
The mental health counsellors at Twitter must be working overtime due to Musk takeover.
Should be to say not today !
I don’t get this. Higgins has made a serious accusation of rape. Why would she then mention anything other than the rape accusation to her counselor. It doesn’t make sense.
Her initial story was she was pissed and unconscious. If the transcript of her counselling, which is legal to be obtained by the defendant, states she was unaware of any sex or provides any doubt that rape occurred then it is exculpatory. As to sense and reason give me an example of where lefties have ever made sense.
Wow just perused the headlines, Grace’s tears. Any shred of credibility she had left is now utterly in tatters. Add AOTY as well with it’s latest recipient jumping on the partisan bandwagon as well.
As for the election, I have changed my view from a few months back where I thought an ALP landslide. I think it is likely to be close after Albo’s first couple of weeks and frenzied desperation to cover for him from some media quarters. LNP IMO in north Queensland will retain most of what it has. Leichardt is the only one in danger. SEQ however could be a different story.

Camperdown in the mid 60s-70s would not have been particularly flash. Plenty of run down terraces, student digs and a variety of derros.
Around 78 the place started to be gentrified, by the 90s there were still some fixer-upperers but they were rare and relatively expensive.

Global sand supplies are dwindling. At the current rate of consumption, we only have enough sand to last us until the expansion of the sun makes the Earth uninhabitable! Also, if we use up all of our sand, the sea will definitely rise even more because the beaches will disappear due to all of the sand mining.
We must take action now! I’m sure my local Teal candidate has a solution to address the looming sand crisis.

Pauline Hanson was on fire tonight on Kenny on Sky. She got stuck into the cretinous Liberals for preferencing the Tasmanian bush pig ahead of her, arguing correctly, that Lambie almost always votes with Labor and the Greens whereas Hanson works with the Liberals.
She’s right to be angry. The Liberals are spineless, cowardly, craven, gutless scum.

Cross country touring in the Snowies. We made camp and, with some difficulty started a fire in the snow.
My friend’s undercrackers (his only pair)were a bit damp from falling and sitting in the snow so he took them off, and hung them over the fire to dry.
They slipped off into the fire.
He fished them out, still a bit damp but where the arse would have been there was a burnt hole,charred around the edges.
He turned to me with a stunned look on his face and said-
‘Fuck me, how am I going to explain this to the missus?’
OK, so it’s only Thursday. Don’t care. We need some music.

At the airport Duty Free with not many people around the young woman serving us couldn’t hide her delight. It’s so nice to see you people back, she enthused. “You people” meant well-heeled, middle-class active retirees out doing some skiing in long-haul destinations. She got all of that from the Boarding Pass. Happy to be doing it, we enthused back.
The flight was uneventful on a smooth A380, minor turbulance once only. We are now near Istanbul, says my husband, an avid follower of ‘the map’ onscreen. To the right Odessa and Mariopol with all of its current horrors, to the left the world of peaceful civilisation; although as we flew on the names of unknown towns and cities passed us by. We did transit at Dubai in the Emirates Lounge (codeshare Qantas). It was quite busy and seats were starting to tables to double up. Is it OK if we sit here, I enquired, and he nodded agreeement. You could tell even sitting down that he was was about six foot foot stretching out. Are you an oil company worker? I asked as I thanked him, because he was wearing a t-shirt saying OIL MAN. Yes, m’aam, replied his Texal drawl. We started to talk about travel being on the move again, and he said he’d been working in Saudi Arabia, moving back and forth to Texas quite a lot, but that he’d got stuck in ‘The Kingdom’ as he called it during 2020, due to fly out the day after everything there shut down completely.
We shared experiences of that time, with us being in Louisiana and having to hurry back to Australia before they shut the gates on us. In all of his politeness he let us know that he was a Trump supporter, hoping for a change at the mid-terms. We said we thought Trump was on the right track too, which pleased him. He told us he was ‘a driller’, definitely at the businss end of oil production. Had drilling halted in the US even in Texas? I asked.
He laughed. Drillers gotta drill, m’aam, he replied.
Glad to hear it, I said as he waved goodbye to get his flight.

You know one reason why I tend to believe the Russian number of killed is closer to the mark? They give a precise number.

Yep, it’s hard to believe in this era post gentrification, but in those days people who lived in the inner city aspired to flee to the suburbs. The inner west was worse than the inner eastern suburbs – the terrace houses were smaller and shabbier, most didn’t have indoor bathrooms or toilets, and the populace was correspondingly poorer.
OTOH, compared to the outer suburbs it did have the advantage of good public transport and closeness to facilities like schools, hospitals etc.

This reeks of desperation. They did this with Parler. But Musk is a different kettle of fish and I don’t think he’ll take any of these threats from progressive scum lying down.
One good thing about the Musk take over of Twitter and the ensuing leftist conniptions is that it has, once and for all, completely and utterly exposed the left’s loathing of any speech but their own and the fact is that they don’t even bother to try to hide their desire to censor and ban speech they don’t like.

Has anyone here argued Putin’s Russia is the apogee of free speech?

Russia earned 62 B euros from coal, gas and oil export in the last two months.

In one day Russia has arrested hundreds of anti-war protestors. That the twitter accounts continue is most probably because they are too busy rounding up protestors on the street. For example one report claims 5,000 were detained in one day. That’s will be exhausting for their security forces. Putin is a dictatorial asshole that should be hung in the town square .

Before “the masks finally come off” in WA, I’d like to say out loud that the order for primary school children to cover their faces for fear of an invisible virus has been the last straw for my youngest kid.
She’s now at nervous paranoid exhaustion, and it’s a struggle to get her out of bed, eating, or attending school. She’s running a mental roster in her head of other households which have gone down with the rona, and when. She wears a fresh blue paper mask at all times when she’s out over the bridge- the mental front door of the farm- even when I famously never do. She’s in extended classes and the music program at school- like me she’s got a good memory if a poor work ethic- but her disrupted attendance is actually making me feel bad that she’s taken a spot of another battler. She loves her netball and ballet, but hasn’t been able to get through the door or attend training.
My wife’s at her wits’ end, she’s at the coalface of trying to hold it all together. She- wife- is also at a juncture where she diesn’t want to get jabbed a third time, having suffered inflammatory reaction which has her hardly able to use her left arm, would need it for work, but is weighing up home schooling. Her professional income is a blessing for the house- and although we’re refinancing, having set up a body to buy the farm at last, I can only see increased expenses and a market in recession, or depression, so we’ll have to be very careful how far I stick my neck out.
There’s a waiting list a mile long for mental health counselling. (Social workers and psychs are overwhelmingly women- young women are overwhelmingly opting out of the jab command- there’s rivers of taxpayer healthcare money… and consult rooms standing empty, while remaining consultants are booked out from 7 AM to 9 PM. Eejits.)
In two and a half hours, I’m allowed back in the pub. I would rather not go. If I do go, have to tell anyone who’ll listen that while the Premier has free reign in his state of emergency, we’re none of us free, and it could be masks on, purebloods out and bend over for the cold steel at any moment.
I habitually tell my kids hard truths. I’ll explain my opinions, and take the edge of judgment of others, but I’ll state the what and why when it comes down to brass tacks. I never shy away from it, even when there’s bystanders who might be miffed- if anything, I’ll say, change my mind if you can.
Maybe it’s the wrong thing to do around the tender younguns.
It’ll be a long haul to get back to normal, and our kids’ normal will never go back to the heaven on earth that was 2019.

“Although the U.S. still claims to be the “land of the free,” it long ago shifted from being a republican to an imperial power. The resulting costs over the last two decades have been high. Needlessly sliding into war with Russia would be far worse.
In aiding Ukraine, American officials should remember that their responsibility is to the U.S. first. Indeed, they should reread Washington’s Farewell Address. Yes to helping friendly states under attack. No to becoming a slave to foreign interests. Unfortunately, U.S. policymakers increasingly fail to distinguish between the two.”

It’s John Howard’s invention, actually.
The left media are making things up about Musk.
He’s a “sociopath and a free speech absolutist”!
One of life’s experience reality bites is that the Howard government was as good as it gets.
Fat?
Thanks Tom! I’m amused the MSM is going on and on about one maskless party while a humongous green elephant is stomping around and destroying Britain.

I haven’t followed any of the trial but this was on the internet yesterday:
To close the trial with a golden pin, Johnny Depp’s lawyers showed an audio where Amber Heard tells Depp that no one will believe him because he is a man.
“Tell the world Johnny, tell the world, I, Johnny Depp, a white man, I’m a victim of domestic violence and see who believes you, see how many people take your side.”
These were the words of Amber Heard.
The lawyers then asked Johnny; and what did you say about it?
He said yes I am.

Amber Heard’s Case Is Actually A Perfect Example of How Patriarchy Works…and how insidious it can be

Japan’s Unconditional Surrender Is Actually An Example of How America Lost World War Two…and how Americans suffered directly from the two atomic bombings.
They lie about everything. Literally.
Oh goodness me, Allegra Da Big Spenda is a hypocrite. Who knew? Laws, rules, by-laws et al are clearly for little people. Rules for thee but not for me. However I shouldn’t be surprised at such hypocrisy and double standards, this is the same verminous hypocrite who claimed in last week’s debate that she can’t get solar panels because she lives in a “strata area”. I’m still struggling to understand exactly what a “strata area” is. I know people who live in “strata blocks” and “strata buildings” but a “strata area”? Is there a suburb in the eastern suburbs that I don’t know about called “Strata”?
“Power pole fracas for Allegra Spender
Remy Varga
Ausgrid has been forced to take down campaign material belonging to the independent candidate for Wentworth Allegra Spender after she refused to remove the posters and corflutes from power poles in the electorate.
Incumbent Liberal MP Dave Sharma said it was hypocritical of Ms Spender to campaign on integrity but refuse to comply with rules around campaign material.
Ms Spender less than two-weeks ago said she would remove the election campaign material from the poles after being approached by Ausgrid.
The daughter of former Liberal frontbencher John Spender and late fashion designer Carla Zampatti said on Thursday she’d received legal advice that she was under no obligation to remove her corflutes from power poles in the eastern suburbs.
She said her campaign was being “picked out” because of complaints made by the Liberal Party, and said previous campaigns had allowed campaign material on power poles.
“We were advised by a Senior Counsel that the campaign was not in breach of the Electricity Supply Act and (we were) not under any immediate obligation to remove the signs,” she said.
“We were also advised the Electricity Supply Act does not currently entitle Ausgrid to remove corflutes. For community candidates who do not have party infrastructure and electorate office funding, corflutes are a central campaign element,” she said.
It is understood Ausgrid workers began removing corflutes from power poles in the electorate on Wednesday. Of the 70 removed, about 95 per cent belonged to Ms Spender.”

Why are we believing the 14,000 Russian war dead number again – because the Brits said so?
A russian city of 300,000 is getting about 3 body bags a day. you can extrapolate from this, to somewhere around 10-20k dead.
That may well be how the number was derived.
Whatever the law does or doesn’t say, it’s common sense that public infrastructure is not there to serve as a hoarding for corflutes or any other advertising material.
Henry Payne. Outstanding.

Oh lookie here…
“Questions raised over Jo Dyer’s UK citizenship
Independent South Australian candidate Jo Dyer is facing questions about her eligibility to run for parliament amid issues with her attempt to revoke her dual citizenship.
Ms Dyer is the independent candidate for Boothby, the state’s most marginal seat at the federal election, and has dual British citizenship.
She told the Adelaide Advertiser she had applied to rescind her British citizenship before she announced her candidacy, but it was yet to processed.
Ms Dyer said the British government had informed her the application would be delayed by several months due to Covid.
In her qualification checklist, Ms Dyer had declared the “date of losing foreign citizenship” was December 8 last year.
Along with her signed declaration, she had supplied a supporting document showing her application to Britain’s Home Office was “submitted” on the same date. The British government received her application at 6.53am that morning with a payment of £372 but there is no evidence showing it was processed or the citizenship revoked.
The Australian Constitution requires any federal candidate who is a “citizen or subject of a foreign power” to be disqualified from being elected as a member of parliament.”
Hmm….a few thoughts….
How awkward. Dyer is ineligible.
Someone in the comments section has written the following…
“Jo Dyer must know very well the importance of evidence and when there is none it’s unwise to pursue a course of action that relies on it.”
I presume this commentator is being “facetious”. Because as we all know, since when does Dyer care about such trivialities as the “importance of evidence”? LOL. Despite the lack of any evidence, Dyer has participated in the assassination of a man’s character. He’s had his career ruined despite there being no, none, zero, nada, zilch evidence, the only “evidence” vomited up by Dyer and her cabal of female South Australian cronies were the ramblings of an insane women who’d carried a torch for the man for three decades.
Oh and I wonder if Jo Dyer, one of Simon’s cuties, currently running in the electorate of Boothby, is being stalked, has had excrement thrown at her electoral offices, had seen her electoral office daubed with words such as “bitch” and “c-nt” etc, and is being abused daily? We all know what Liberal MP Nicolle Flint endured. Don’t be silly Cassie, of course not. Jo Dyer, being of the left, is being accorded great respect.
public infrastructure
The senior council are using pedantry to cover stupidity.
Why would Ausgrid possibly not want people interfering with power infrastructure in any way?
Carrying thousands of volts perhaps.

Garbage. I said Camperdown in the 60s was run down, not infested with criminals.
Although, rare as it may be, Albo might be able to achieve both if he tries hard enough. Such a thing is not altogether unknown.
I thought Ferguson was going to China to head up the ABC’s branch office there.

Gosh, a $3000 taxpayer subsidy for the latest electric car can go towards the Aspen ski trip.
Even Ed made the counterpoint, given relative populations of prisons and parliaments, growing up anywhere there is more chance of going to the former than the later.
