Missus’s condition continues to get worse, numbness and tingling in head, face and limbs. Doctor believes that she’s exhibiting symptoms consistent with early warning signs of stroke. Still waiting for MRI and Neurologist. Little bloke trained to call 000.
No sign of any problem prior to second Pfizer dose. Interesting that her sister is exhibiting similar symptoms after having also taken Pfizer.
VACCINATION BLUES
It should be obvious to everyone by now that the covid vaccines have underperformed. After a few months, they provide only minimal protection. Healthy Skeptic has the Minnesota numbers, and every other state is no doubt the same if the data can be extracted. Click to enlarge:
Currently, 78% of covid cases are in fully vaccinated people, as are 67% of hospitalizations. There aren’t many deaths, but if we go back to the end of February, 70% of “covid deaths” are fully vaccinated people. We have here, as Kevin Roche says, an epidemic of the vaxed.
Yet the zombie march of vax mandates continues. Unvaccinated athletes are shunned and disqualified, as though they pose a risk to the vaccinated–which never did make any sense, still less given the current numbers. Four Air Force Academy cadets may not graduate because they have not been vaccinated, a procedure that reduces their risk of getting a serious case of covid–let alone someone else’s risk!–to no perceptible extent.

Not sure of use, but do try Cartia Low Dose Aspirin per day
and
What is low-dose aspirin?
Low strengths or “doses” of aspirin are used to make it less likely for your blood to clot. It blocks certain blood cells called platelets and slows down your body’s ability to clot blood. It is used to prevent blood clots forming in blood vessels that lead to your brain and heart muscle. Preventing blood clots in these vessels helps lower your risk of stroke and heart attack.
The following animation describes how aspirin works in the body (British Heart Foundation).
Oil works well in pastry for a firm, robust shell to support a left-over roast beef (and veg and gravy) deep dish pie, or similar.
If made properly, the pastry is great; very crispy and reheats in the microwife without going soggy.

I have a Post Aortic Aneurysm in the early stages 38mm. Nothing gets done till the the thing gets to over 52mm. At least it will be quick if it goes. Apparently very common. I take low dose aspirin to reduce the clotting effect. If I notice my big toes going dark its the first sign of clotting, off to Emergency.

90% of the time this is good advice.
Howerver…
The reason we dont administer anti-clotting agents in a suspected stroke as Ambos is because you cant differentiate between a clot and a bleed.
Taking anti-clotting agents with a brain bleed is a bad thing.
Awful little conundrum, early anti-clotting is awesome if its a clot, which the vast majority are, but may kill your patient if they have a bleed on the brain.
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/stroke/types-of-stroke
Strokes can be classified into 2 main categories:
Ischemic strokes. These are strokes caused by blockage of an artery (or, in rare instances, a vein). About 87% of all strokes are ischemic.
Hemorrhagic stroke. These are strokes caused by bleeding. About 13% of all strokes are hemorrhagic.

LOOSE ENDS (166)
• Always behind on my weekend reading, so I just today caught up to Holman Jenkins’s Saturday column in the Wall Street Journal on “What Did the Steele Hoax Cost America?” The whole article is smoking hot great and worth reading all the way through if you have a Journal subscription, but this one passage stands out as the perfect summary for how to think about Trump:
Mr. Trump may be a compendium of human vices but he will always be the president who withstood the most insidious, organized slur in modern memory. His enemies did that for him, not least among them a largely cretinous media that showed its true colors, which turned out to have nothing to do with fearless and searching concern for the truth.
In a stable of great columnists, Jenkins is my favorite.

The Next Pandemic: Mental Illness
Joe Biden prefers to talk about racism and guns rather than face the real problem.
A longtime term for what the United States often did with the mentally ill is “warehousing.” Out of sight and out of mind.
That is ending. They are everywhere—on the streets, in our homes, our schools and prisons. Emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, America is overflowing with people suffering from a broad range of mental disturbance. Mental illness is the U.S.’s next pandemic.
At one extreme, Buffalo mass-murder suspect Payton Gendron is another case study in how the U.S. looks past this problem. As with Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland, Fla., mass murderer, it is being widely reported that Gendron was admitted to a hospital last year for mental evaluation, that “signals were missed,” etc. At Virginia Tech 15 years ago, “signals were missed” for a disturbed 23-year-old shooter who killed 32 people.
Signals aren’t missed. They are ignored, because there is no pragmatic understanding of what to do with the signals of mental illness. Instead, we divert into a largely irrelevant search for “motive.”
Note how official commentary about the Buffalo shooting is overwhelmingly political, with President Joe Biden and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul describing the attacks primarily as racism, and the media obsessing over “replacement theory.” Defaulting to recrimination puts us in our current political comfort zone, while the reality of Payton Gendron’s mental disturbance will fade—until next time.
This column’s subject is not the psychotic young males whose outlet is killing. It is the emerging post-Covid reality that a slowly building crisis of poorly treated mental illness, anxiety, depression and suicide is cresting just as the pandemic ends. Suicide, already the second leading cause of death among people 15 to 34 before the pandemic, has increased.
In October, the American Academy of Pediatrics and others warned of “soaring rates of mental health challenges” among the young, and a similar warning followed from the U.S. surgeon general. Ask whoever is sitting next to you for anecdotal evidence. It’s omnipresent. Virtually any mental-health practitioner, especially at universities, admits to being overwhelmed with patients.
It’s well known that many people spent the pandemic drinking too much alcohol or using drugs. One result: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just reported a record number of deaths from drug overdoses last year, nearly 108,000 and 15% higher than 2020, prominently from fentanyl. The Wall Street Journal this week described how more young adults with drug-addiction or mental problems are moving in with their parents. Tender loving care never hurts but often isn’t enough.
The mentally ill homeless are piling up on the streets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Austin and on and on. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been dismantling homeless tent camps, but he’s shoveling sand into the ocean. They have nowhere to go.
Absent medical treatment, some of the most severely ill self-medicate on the street with alcohol or drugs, turn violent and typically end up in holding pens like New York’s Rikers Island jail complex or Chicago’s Cook County jail.
With the societywide surge of mental disorder during the pandemic, the U.S. has arrived at a moment of reckoning for a policy failure that has run like an open hydrant since the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1970s emptied the mental hospitals. The solution was supposed to be outpatient “community care.” It never happened.
Andrew Scull, author of a just-published book on psychiatry’s struggle to address mental illness (“Desperate Remedies,” recently reviewed in these pages), wrote a devastating critique last year of how politics and medicine have failed the mentally ill. “Community care,” he wrote, “was a shell game with no pea. In place of forcible confinement in publicly run asylums, the chronically mentally ill have been abandoned to their fate.”
With the incidence of disorders and suicides rising, there will be postmortems on the damage done during the pandemic to young people. With their schools closed, some isolated from friends and disintegrated inside social-media sites like TikTok or the online cauldrons that seem to have consumed Payton Gendron. All true. But some matters need settling.
While there’s a good chance of another big virus outbreak in our lifetimes, there can never be another Anthony Fauci. Past some point, less than a year, it was clear the lockdowns and closings were wrecking mental health, especially among children. In fact, we do have a National Institute of Mental Health, but that constituency had no seat at the decision table. Political officials ceded complete control of pandemic policy to public-health authorities. Never again. Next time, private and personal health should get a voice.
The politics, science and economics of mental health are difficult. If you want to do X—say, compel treatment for psychosis—an organized resistance will try to stop you. And it’s expensive. So the politicians give up and invoke guns, racism and the rest.
Mental disorder has become too pervasive to sweep under a rug as big as the entire United States. The solution has been to let mom and dad alone pick up the pieces. It’s not enough.
Australia will be a wreck under Plibersek.

Speaking about Mental Disorder in America
WATCH: Congresswoman Claims There Are Two Sexes, Graduating Class Blasts Her With Boos
The culture has rapidly changed, and that’s nowhere more evident than among college students.
Case in point: A commencement speaker was recently booed during an address at the University of Wyoming.
Republican congresswoman Cynthia Lummis was orating at the school’s graduation when she stepped into treacherous territory.
The state’s first female U.S. senator almost escaped unscathed…
But right at the end — amid a heralding of America — she went boldly biological:
“And lastly, you woke up this morning with more individual freedom in the most creative, divinely-inspired nation on Earth. The transformations and disruptions I have alluded to are testing those very freedoms. … [T]here are those in government who believe, not that the Creator endowed us with inalienable rights as the founders of our nation acknowledged in the Declaration of Independence, but that government created those rights. And that government should redefine those rights — including our rights to freedom of speech, religion, property, assembly, and to keep and bear arms. Even fundamental scientific truths — such as the existence of two sexes, male and female — are subject to challenge these days.”
As for being subject to challenge, the crowd confirmed her claim.
Boos rang loudly.
And then: more boos.
Following that: additional boos.
Cynthia attempted to save herself:
“You know, I, uh, and I challenge those of you — I’m not making a comment on the fact that there are people who transition between sexes.”
It was ugly, indeed.

Cynthia should have made those statements the highlight of the speech, doubles down, then repeated it a third time in case people couldn’t hear over the boos.

Justice coming for the ‘Dirty 51’ Hunter Biden laptop liars
By Miranda Devine
One of the most galling aspects of the Hunter Biden laptop saga is that the 51 former intelligence officials who played such a critical role in suppressing The Post’s stories and giving Joe Biden cover before the 2020 election have never been brought to account.
The “Dirty 51” lied by painting our stories as Russian disinformation in an Oct. 19, 2020, letter they signed and delivered to Politico five days after The Post exposé and three days before the final presidential debate of the election campaign.
They used the institutional weight of their powerful former roles to legitimize partisan political propaganda designed to smear The Post and everyone associated with the story and dissuade the rest of the media from looking deeper into the laptop.
The letter, titled “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden emails,” and signed by former CIA directors John Brennan, Leon Panetta and Mike Hayden, former acting CIA director Michael Morell, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and other ex-spooks, claimed the material on Hunter’s hard drive, “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” although not one of them had seen it.
Their lie “probably affected the outcome” of the 2020 presidential race, as former Attorney General William Barr has said, describing the letter as “partisan hackery,” “baseless” and signed by “a coterie of retired intelligence officials who had lost their professional bearings.”
Yet they have never apologized or retracted their lie. In fact, when The Post contacted the group in March, after The New York Times belatedly acknowledged the laptop was real, some, like Clapper, doubled down.
One former CIA officer who signed the letter, John Sipher, boasted that he took “special pride in personally swinging the election away from Trump.”
“I lost the election for Trump?” wrote Sipher, during a Twitter spat with a former Trump official. “Well then I [feel] pretty good about my influence.”
The arrogance of these Deep Staters tells you that they believe they will get away with lying to influence an election.
But there’s one person with a bee in his bonnet who isn’t going to let the story go: Donald Trump.
The former president has sicced uber-attorney Tim Parlatore on the Dirty 51. On Wednesday, Parlatore launched the first stage of a multi-pronged strategy to make those who signed the letter pay for the damage they have wrought to freedom of the press, election integrity and the welfare of the nation.
But it’ll be a total wreck under Plibersek.
As much as the best wishes are nice, I’d prefer whisky. Malt, no Chivas or Glenfiddach please. Something from the West country. I plan to go there but have to wait for my dog to die coz I can’t leave him and I won’t put him in kennels. He’s 15 soon and they don’t live much more than that.

Two more cases of monkeypox identified by UKHSA
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has detected 2 additional cases of monkeypox, one in London and one in the South East of England.
The latest cases bring the total number of monkeypox cases confirmed in England since 6 May to 9, with recent cases predominantly in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men (MSM).
The 2 latest cases have no travel links to a country where monkeypox is endemic, so it is possible they acquired the infection through community transmission.
The virus spreads through close contact and UKHSA is advising individuals, particularly those who are gay, bisexual or MSM, to be alert to any unusual rashes or lesions on any part of their body, especially their genitalia, and to contact a sexual health service if they have concerns.
Monkeypox has not previously been described as a sexually transmitted infection, though it can be passed on by direct contact during sex. It can also be passed on through other close contact with a person who has monkeypox or contact with clothing or linens used by a person who has monkeypox.

Western Australia hits new Covid-19 record and more deaths
A woman aged in her 40s is among the new Covid-related deaths in Western Australia as the state hit a new unwanted record.
Western Australia has hit a new record number of daily Covid-19 infections and six more deaths, including a woman aged in her 40s.
WA Health reported 17,105 new infections overnight, taking the total number of active cases to 88,781.
There are now 300 people with Covid-19 in hospital, including 10 in intensive care.
The five other historical deaths are two women and a man aged in their 90s, a woman aged in her 80s, and a man aged in his 70s.
“Due to confidentiality, no further information will be released by the department,” a statement read.
WA has a third-dose vaccination rate of 81.1 per cent for people aged 16 and over.
Chief health officer Andy Robertson last Friday said he expected WA to endure a new peak of up to 25,000 cases per day within weeks.
The Australian Medical Association has been calling for some restrictions to be reintroduced as hospital numbers hover around 300.
But Premier Mark McGowan has so far been reluctant to reimpose restrictions.
Many people still appear to be wearing masks in the community.

Latest research – and this is commonly known – is that Paxlovid actually causes Covid to rebound. Husband simply ignored the advice – he is not prone to tirades in reply as I am!

Hating the West
Douglas Murray’s The War on the West chronicles the gradual emergence and sudden rise to dominance of the pseudo-intellectual anti-white racism that now saturates our culture. No longer confined to the fringes, this bigotry has been lent considerable credibility as it mounts a broad-based attack on virtually every aspect of the Western heritage.
A fixation on revenge hardly seems like a productive way to organize a society, but under the guidance of the Democratic Party, it would seem that hatred and contempt for white people are to be the new unifying principle of the United States.
The new American mission is to be one of perpetual racial retaliation against whites.
Enough. A drug-abusing criminal died while in police custody in a truly disturbing scene captured on video several years ago. This unfortunate and regrettable incident enabled a band of Leftist grifters to soak gullible corporations and individuals for donations that were then used to purchase several million-dollar properties in exclusively white upscale neighborhoods for the sole benefit of the con artists running the grift, while the very people whose interests BLM claimed to represent languished in unalloyed poverty and neglect. The killing that launched this grift did not constitute evidence of “systemic racism;” it did not justify months of riots; it did not warrant a wholesale condemnation of all police, or all white people, or the entire West.
The level of journalistic irresponsibility underlying all this is simply astounding; the national press has debased itself into little more than a megaphone for petty defamations and political hit jobs and welcomes almost every opportunity to engage in racial incitement.
That is to say, almost. When an illegal immigrant commits an especially foul murder, the public is solemnly urged to withhold judgment, to refrain from generalizing; we are endlessly reminded of how wonderful the “undocumented” community is as a whole. When a horrific crime is committed by a U.S. citizen using a firearm – no matter what the circumstances (and often before these are even known) — the press immediately calls for gun control and effectively treats every gun owner as an accessory to the crime. When a mentally unbalanced black or brown perpetrator espousing anti-white and anti-Asian race hatred commits mass murder, the media response is a day or two of mumbled acknowledgment quickly trailing off into incurable amnesia. When a mentally unbalanced white individual commits a racially motivated murder, the media response is a veritable festival of glee. The crime is relentlessly spotlit and no effort is spared to tar the Left’s political adversaries with guilt by association.
Meet the West Australians imposing COVID-19 restrictions on themselves as case numbers and hospitalisations surge
A story about a cohort of the elderly population that are too terrified to venture out in public due to their fear of Covid. Seems plausible enough, given the society-wide, prolonged Covid panic induced by the government, the public health establishment and the media.
Of course, if these people resume their pre-pandemic routines, this will put them at a greater risk of being exposed to Covid, and a small fraction of them will die from this as a consequence. There is, however, a cost that comes with not resuming these routines, and the cost will almost certainly be comparable to – and will very likely surpass – that imposed by Covid (not that we will ever know, as the unintended consequences of government policy are last thing the government is looking for).
With regard to the elderly population, the mandatory imposition of various Covid-related restrictions has suppressed the exercising of a lot of use-it-or-lose-it physiological and cognitive capabilities. If a large group of these people continue to impose these restrictions upon themselves voluntarily, this will surely result in substantial aggregate losses in health outcomes, lifespans, quality of life metrics etc.
I’ve thought about it and my decision is to tell you to go fuck yourself.
No compassion for those perpetuating Covid terror.

Man charged with bestiality after allegedly breaking into school
A man has been charged with 14 offences following an extensive investigation into alleged break and enter and suspected animal cruelty offences at a school in St Marys, in Sydney’s west, over the past month.
George Danakis, 43, was arrested at St Mary’s Senior High School on Kalang Avenue, about 7.50pm on Wednesday.
Police will allege he assaulted goats and sheep housed at a farm on the school premises between Wednesday, April 27, and Wednesday, May 18.

Now 17,000 a day get it and we are ‘allowed’ out without masks. What changed? McClown was enormously popular when the gullible citizens actually believed he “saved” them from certain death. Eventually people stopped believing the bullshit. Even his fanbois at The West Australian turned on him when he didn’t open up the state as he had promised. So it was never about “saving lives”, it was always about popularity. What an absolute turd.

lol “ending the waste and rorts”? Wtf does that mean? The “trimming” might save a few million here and there, but these are rounding error amounts overall. Same with the foreign investment fees and penalties. (Is increasing fees a saving, by the way?) The cost of “extending and boosting existing ATO programs” will likely exceed any additional revenue (is increasing tax revenue a saving, as well?). And ensuring multinationals pay their fair share of tax – wow, original. No government has ever attempted this before. Even if this could be achieved, it still wouldn’t be a saving.
Saving means spending *less*, ALP geniuses.

Let’s see how well this ages.

WOW, just WOW! .. lower denture broke in two last night whilst eating soooo off to a dental mechanic this morning .. not overly cluey on dental bills but having read dentists can be expensive .. expecting somewhere around the $80/$100 ……. come in spinner, he sez .. $190 .. no idea what is involved in meshing the two bits back together but I’ll be slightly disappointed if it ain’t GOLD ….. LOL!
Prior to covid , a elder sister needed new dentures . We priced airflight, 3 nite stay in a 4+ star hotel , taxi money plus dentures from a good Jakarta dental surgery. ie fly out friday , fit dentures and home by early monday morning. Savings $800 in cash.
I venture the closest Albo has come to embracing his “Italian heritage” is ordering a pizza. Albeit with pineapple.

They are bragging they will replace the power systems we currently have with one so inefficient it will require an EXTRA 604,000 people to deliver the stuff.
Think about the mongnitude of that for a moment.
Then be amazed to realize that it has never been framed as such by the Libs because they see all wasteful government spending resulting in a job as an “investment”.

Instead of slowing down, being transitory or tapering off, the move higher in inflation may just be getting started. At least that’s what the action in the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLE) ETF could be telling us. It looks to be on the verge of a long-term breakout.
XLE is a basket or portfolio of dozens of energy companies. These companies typically have large holdings of oil and/or natural gas. As the prices of these commodities move higher, the value of the companies’ stocks increases and this pushes them into rally mode.
As you can see on the following long-term chart, the $78 level has been resistance for XLE since December 2015. But now that resistance appears to have been broken.
This could be telling us something important, and it isn’t good. The move higher in inflation may just be getting started.

Seriously, I had a tooth fail years and years after a sporting accident.
Whilst I was waiting for an implant, I had a temporary denture. I broke it but thought, “How hard can this be?” and Superglued it back together. I reckon it was within 0.5 mm of in the right place but I felt like Chad Morgan every time I put it in.
the 4,000 jobs tacked on at the end is just so you know the figures are 93.8% accurate and not just pulled out of an old orifice.
Saying 600,000 jobs would just look like you were making it up.
Lets see 604,000 times “good paying jobs” ($80,000 enough?) is $48,320,000,000 per year in wages alone.
https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/industry/energy/energy-account-australia/latest-release
Australia’s supply of energy products, in basic prices, was valued at $210,775 million…
Electricity, accounting for $23,072 million
So the entire electricity “market” is worth 23,072,000,000
So extremely roughly speaking WAGES ALONE will have to see a doubling of electricity prices to break even.
Or if i use the entire energy market 20% of all current costs will be those mythical new jobs wages.

COVID UPDATE: What is the truth?
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.[3,6,57] We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence.
For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines. For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully, but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators.[23,38]
The media (TV, newspapers, magazines, etc), medical societies, state medical boards and the owners of social media have appointed themselves to be the sole source of information concerning this so-called “pandemic”. Websites have been removed, highly credentialed and experienced clinical doctors and scientific experts in the field of infectious diseases have been demonized, careers have been destroyed and all dissenting information has been labeled “misinformation” and “dangerous lies”, even when sourced from top experts in the fields of virology, infectious diseases, pulmonary critical care, and epidemiology. These blackouts of truth occur even when this information is backed by extensive scientific citations from some of the most qualified medical specialists in the world.[23] Incredibly, even individuals, such as Dr. Michael Yeadon, a retired ex-Chief Scientist, and vice-president for the science division of Pfizer Pharmaceutical company in the UK, who charged the company with making an extremely dangerous vaccine, is ignored and demonized. Further, he, along with other highly qualified scientists have stated that no one should take this vaccine.
Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most cited experts in his field, who has successfully treated over 2000 COVID patients by using a protocol of early treatment (which the so-called experts completely ignored), has been the victim of a particularly vicious assault by those benefiting financially from the vaccines. He has published his results in peer reviewed journals, reporting an 80% reduction in hospitalizations and a 75% reduction in deaths by using early treatment.[44] Despite this, he is under an unrelenting series of attacks by the information controllers, none of which have treated a single patient.
Neither Anthony Fauci, the CDC, WHO nor any medical governmental establishment has ever offered any early treatment other than Tylenol, hydration and call an ambulance once you have difficulty breathing. This is unprecedented in the entire history of medical care as early treatment of infections is critical to saving lives and preventing severe complications. Not only have these medical organizations and federal lapdogs not even suggested early treatment, they attacked anyone who attempted to initiate such treatment with all the weapons at their disposal—loss of license, removal of hospital privileges, shaming, destruction of reputations and even arrest.[2]
A good example of this outrage against freedom of speech and providing informed consent information is the recent suspension by the medical board in Maine of Dr. Meryl Nass’ medical license and the ordering of her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation for prescribing Ivermectin and sharing her expertise in this field.[9,65] I know Dr, Nass personally and can vouch for her integrity, brilliance and dedication to truth. Her scientific credentials are impeccable. This behavior by a medical licensing board is reminiscent of the methodology of the Soviet KGB during the period when dissidents were incarcerated in psychiatric gulags to silence their dissent.
OTHER UNPRECEDENTED ATTACKS
Another unprecedented tactic is to remove dissenting doctors from their positions as journal editors, reviewers and retracting of their scientific papers from journals, even after these papers have been in print. Until this pandemic event, I have never seen so many journal papers being retracted— the vast majority promoting alternatives to official dogma, especially if the papers question vaccine safety.
This is a long read but worth the time. It is an extremely good summary of what has happened during the plandemic. The most startling aspect is that it was published PubMed. I would have though PubMed would have well entrenched in MSM control of the narrative.

The new watch that’s so popular, Melbourne police had to step in
Sneaker-drop lunacy is something your traditional watch collector would never have encountered. But it’s manna from horological heaven for Swatch.
March marked the world’s biggest watch event in decades. But it wasn’t the Watches & Wonders mega-fair, the first since COVID-19 shutdowns, which kicked off on March 30.
That Rolex-Cartier-Patek fest brought 22,000 attendees to Geneva. However, humble Swatch – aided, it must be said, by Omega – pulled thousands more to its boutiques around the world. Jostling hordes lined up around block after block in city after city for a plastic Speedmaster.
Unlike the sophisticates in Geneva, this was a crowd – in puffer jackets and hoodies – that looked more accustomed to queuing for a pair of Nike Air Jordans than a $380 watch that riffs off a timepiece that’s been around since the 1950s.
The Speedmaster came to fame as NASA’s official watch; it was worn on the moon by Buzz Aldrin, and has been plugged ever since by Omega as the Moonwatch – one that retails for just under $10,000. As such, a serious bit of kit, in contrast to the cheeky MoonSwatch version that dropped without warning on March 26.
The lookalike – at a glance it indeed registers as a Speedmaster rather than a Swatch – comes in 11 decidedly Swatchy colours, right down to their so-called bioceramic cases.
As to what caused such a rush for the hybrid (police had to control the crush in Melbourne), several factors were in play. The collaboration itself, between sibling brands in the same Swatch Group stable, is unusual, as is the gulf in brand equity. It’s akin to Bentley doing a collab with, er, Holden. (The BeHolden anyone?)
That novelty aside, Omega and Swatch amped up the launch via a tightly controlled tease campaign and limited-stock offer, with sales restricted to brand boutiques.
Inside the injection-moulded case sits a $20 battery movement rather than a crafted concentration of cogs. But the MoonSwatch brings a bit of much-needed colour to its monotone inspiration.
Mounted on Velcro straps, the effect is refreshingly spritzy rather than ritzy, giving the newcomer an undeniably youthful appeal.
Even as the queues formed, debate was raging online as to whether this cheapened the iconic Speedmaster or democratised it. There were equal expressions of desire and despair as would-be mini-mooners couldn’t get their hands on one.
Purchases had been limited to one watch per customer of the varieties on offer, and stock was exhausted well before the hordes dissipated. No surprise, then, that within hours, some of that stock emerged online from flippers asking multiples of the three-figure retail, despite Omega-Swatch promising it’s not a limited edition and more should be on the way.

And further to my comment at 1557, from a later comment by cohenite, all expenditure became “investment” as part of that prostitution of the language.. LOL.

The “schoolteacher grooms schoolboy” is very salacious.

So the real story is “28 year old roots 16 year old” (when the 16 year old pursued her for a root and scored).

And in Wombat News from Canberra, have hopefully finished wombat-proofing the back yard.
The persistent buggers have been digging under the fence from the government reserve next door. Seeing as we are putting in thousands of dollars of new plants, it was time for action stations.
Have installed long steel fence posts along the fence, and then went and found some galvanised tin plate. Tied it under the main gate, and the side gate, and have instructed Mrs TE quietly but firmly in keeping all three gates shut. (Maybe this is why she gives me those cynical glances now and again, but I figure it’s my wit….)
So, Mr Wombat, we shall see. In a curious note, did you know wombats only do their business on small raised rocks or bits of ground. Weirdos.

Greetings from Mount Isa.
Now that’s a big hole in the ground.
The landscape around is green, despite having very little rain. I’m told this place is in some sort of rain shadow area. The Leichhardt River is a series of puddles. Tomorrow we’ll go up to the lake that supplies the town and perhaps over to Mary Kathleen and the old abandoned mining town. Apparently there’s a Burke and Wills memorial over there too.
Many…many dead roos on the highway in, more than we’d seen anywhere. Which supports the low rainfall story – they like the soft new grass roadside that receives the little runoff. If there’s plenty of new grass elsewhere they stay there. Also spotted some emus and brolgas (live ones).
The road trains are still in evidence, with many going through here as it is a hub of sorts. The biggest we saw was a “five” tanker. Also all the world has bought caravans and 4wds and is on the Barkly. One guy said he got 1km/$ in fuel. Cheaper to motel it.
We are in one of those modern “contactless” places where your phone number opens the door. All the mod cons and much much bigger than the largest van. I could cook, but it’s the Isa pub for dinner tonight and some observation of the local customs.
Great trip Calli- I liked Darwin too. Much more than I expected to.
As a footnote , elections both state and federal bring out the worst in me. My inner demons explode .
probably wont work by itself. you can try ivm +prednisone, if you can get your hands on them.
there is a protocol for various post covid/vax symptoms from incelldx. They even do a test now to see how much spike protein is in the blood.
the core is pravastatin + maraviroc + fenofibrate + baby aspirin
although we think nattokinase is probably more effective than baby aspirin+fenofibrate as it does a nice job of cleaning up S1 blood clots
explanation of why the above works
the protocols are based on cytokine markers. test for which you can’t get here. they do test in US & now UK.

SMH – Monkeypox cases among gay, bisexual men reported in Portugal, Britain
Lisbon: Portuguese health authorities confirmed five cases of monkeypox in young men, and Britain announced another two, marking an unusual outbreak in Europe of a disease typically limited to Africa.
Portugal’s General Directorate for Health said it was also investigating 15 suspected cases and that all were identified this month in the area around the capital, Lisbon.
All the Portuguese cases involve men, most of them young, authorities said, on Wednesday, Portugal time. They have skin lesions and were reported to be in stable condition. Authorities did not say if the men had a history of travel to Africa or any links with recent cases in Britain or elsewhere.
British health authorities said on Wednesday they had identified two new cases of monkeypox, one in London and another in south-east England. They said neither case had previously travelled to Africa and that it was possible they were infected in Britain. The cases had no known links to other previously confirmed patients, suggesting there may be multiple chains of monkeypox transmission already happening in the country.
Dr Susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser of Britain’s Health Security Agency, said the latest cases, alongside the other infections reported in Europe, “confirms our initial concerns that there could be spread of monkeypox within our communities”.
The agency said recent cases had been seen “predominantly in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men”, although it noted it was unclear how exactly people had been infected.
Earlier this week the UK agency reported four cases of monkeypox they said had been spread among gay and bisexual men in London. The agency said the risk to the general population “remains low”.
Health authorities in Spain’s central Madrid region said late on Wednesday that they were assessing 23 possible cases of monkeypox. They noted that all of the suspected cases are young men and that the majority of them had sex with other men.
It is very possible to groom a 16yo for sex. A lot of cases in which there’s a sexual relationship between a female teacher and a student involve some weird (often married) woman projecting her fantasies and expectations of a dream relationship onto a naive victim, who ends up psychologically damaged as a consequence.
The situation discussed here is weird, though. If she wasn’t his teacher, didn’t meet through school etc – where’s the crime? 16 is the age of consent. Is it SA law that no teacher can have sex with any student, regardless of circumstance? If the 16 year old happened to be an apprentice rather than a student, then the teacher would have been in the clear? A year 12 student can be 18 and in school if they started school a year late, repeated a year etc. So an 18yo student goes to a club and pulls/is pulled by a 22yo who happens to be a kindergarten teacher. They’ve never met before. Is this illegal? Does the teacher get prosecuted? Seems strange.

People towing enormous vans on normal (not double) fuel tanks have to be very, very careful on the Barkly. You have bowsers at Barkly Homestead and Camooweal, with nothing in between.
The guy with the poor fuel consumption did his full tank plus a 20l jerrycan which he carried just in case. Just as well.
I wondered why there were warning signs up about calculating fuel usage and a couple of “sorry, no petrol” at camps along the way.
The Beloved took the double tank /spare on the back option for that reason.
OCO, this was from last November, so the boy might have been 15 at the time.

But yes, calling it a “teacher grooms student” case is technically correct, but a gross misrepresentation at the same time.

After being swindled and fooled, will we learn from our COVID failures?
We were swindled, fooled, bamboozled and lied to during the pandemic. The public-health establishment misled the American people about the value of masking, closures and social distancing. No one has accepted blame. Understanding how badly we failed is not only an inevitable part of the “told you so” process but, more important, a lesson for next time. Just ask the Swedes.
Sweden had zero excess deaths associated with COVID-19. The United States had the most excess deaths of all nations. New York had more than Florida. That’s the whole story right there in a handful of words.
Let’s unpack it.
The key element of misdirection in the American swindle was case counts, those running numbers on screens telling us how many Americans had tested positive for COVID. If you’re curious, it looks like some 60% of us have had COVID at some point, with most of us experiencing mild or no symptoms.
How high the case numbers went in your neck of the woods depended a lot on the amount of testing taking place. More testing meant more “cases.” For me, when I had a very mild set of symptoms all clearly in line with COVID, I never even bothered to test. Like most people, I just sat around the house for a few days until I got better. My spouse, who had no symptoms, never got tested, either. Neither of us was included in the ever-growing case counts that dominated the headlines for years.
Not that it matters. The case count tells us very little. Hospitalization totals are useful for managing caseload but often are indicative of protocols like testing patients upon entry to the hospital. Many hospital treatments changed, too. Initially, many COVID-positive people were hospitalized and put on respirators. Before long, many doctors realized infections associated with long-term respirator use were killing people, too.
Eventually, hospitalization numbers went down. That stat, too, only told you so much. Since COVID proved fatal primarily to the elderly, many hospitalizations began with something else only to end with COVID. My own father suffered a blinding, massive stroke, went into hospital and caught COVID there, to officially die of respiratory failure. I’m not sure if he counted as a COVID death or not.
Now the bad news: Modern medicine can’t cure death. Everybody dies. Most Americans who don’t die earlier in life in accidents typically die after the age of 77. In 2020, heart disease and cancer each killed about double the number of people that COVID did.

Barkly Highway. We came back into Qld from NT on that highway during a 4WD trip. We were 200km in and a small black car coming the other stopped in the middle of the road and the doors open and the two occupants jumped out. Our radar went up and we all made sure fight or flight options were available. The young English chap and his girlfriend waved to us to stop which we did. They were in a bad way, low on water and common sense. We gave them what we could and directions. When asked what were they doing out here, they said the map referred to a ‘highway’. Which it was, just not in the European sense.

And yes, there’s a rock under the cube.
I was alarmed today. My local bottleshop lady told me she’d seen two powerful owls in her tree…she lives only a few houses up the street from me. My long time friendly brushtail possum, her grown kids and her various male pursuers better be careful. Also the ringtails who come by for the camellia flowers.
Fortunately none of the people in my street are gardeners, so I get no complaints about her. And she’s very well trained poop-wise, doing so elsewhere from my concreted bits.
its a gay disease. how did a child get infected?
Hardly!
Our grass (ie carbohydrate) eating animals are all characterised by enormous amounts of gut to let them digest plants… either in the form of multiple stomachs (eg ruminants) or yards of large bowel (horses)
The appendix would do nothing for that
Musk has another AI day next month, presumably to unveil GPT4, between GPT4 and deepmind’s Gato, inching closer to the singularity.

I think the “gay community” might be developing an enthusiasm for the old “Don’t ask, don’t tell” slogan.
lol. You could always add a camping Portaloo placed in the shower for emergencies. With the right chemicals, these are easily emptied into a normal toilet later, and are quite odorless.

Humans have the gut of a cat, apart from the Appendix, which allows us to consume Carbohydrates in an emergency.

“Dr” Dickless fails again?
At the Cromwell House they had a display in the very authentic kitchen of foodstuffs of the time. There was a dead eel on the table, ready for an eel pie. The cook would have just killed it by taking off its head and then removing its innards. Here is her recipe for the avid cooks on the Cat:
‘Your eels be flayed, washed and cut into pieces as long as you think convenient, put to them a handful of sweet herbs, parsley minced with an onion, season them with pepper, salt, cloves, mace and nutmeg, and having your coffin made of good pastry put them in and strew over them two handfuls of currants and a lemon cut in slices, then put on much butter and close the pie. When it is baked put it at the funnel a little sweet butter, white wine and vinigar (stet) beaten up with a couple of yolks of eggs.”
Presto! then throw it in the garbage?

Impressive number of warnings!
A lot of that going on by the UKR side as well. I saw this one today.

Brings the thought of Ukrainian armour, captured and recycled by Russians, fighting Russian armour, captured and recycled by Ukrainians. I suppose it’s like the old cavalry, who after losing a horse would mount up on a captured horse and keep on going.

Plus the empire supplied beer, strong ale generously hopped for the long journey out, thus India Pale Ale.

I was in Kingston in a taxi, we were dodging goats. Wondered between ourselves what happens when a goat gets run over, how can you tell who owns which goat? Taxi driver laconically replies: “they know”.
I’m sure it’s delicioius, Bruce.
My wife also makes one.
Surprisingly tasty and much leaner than lamb/motton to boot!
