It’s like live blogging the Ben Hur chariot race with Pickles all those years ago.

Good times.

Baby crash in the city of Zurich is accelerating massively
In June, the drop in births in Switzerland’s largest city was an incredible 31 percent. The crash increases significantly in speed.
…
By autumn 2021, practically everyone who wanted or actually had to be vaccinated was then vaccinated.

If you go 9 months into the future from there, you end up in June – i.e. where 31 percent fewer children were now born.

Souths have had one thug sent off for one of the worst straight arms across the nose I have seen;

Impressively, one of the other Rabbitohs realised what had happened and propped with the down Penrith bloke after the ball came free, apparently to make sure the Souths bloke was still breathing.

Even more impressively, once on his feet the Penrith chap appeared quite interested in a personal debrief with the responsible Rabbitoh.

Quick search done, Helen.

Quite a bit of that about, and on various platforms too. I have no idea as to those sites’ provenance though. One such report (TFIGlobal):

Chinese netizens have stormed Social Media timelines with reports that Beijing is under military seizure. The world, though, has no idea of what’s happening because the city is eventually cut off from the world.

According to News Highland Vision, former Chinese President, Hu Jintao and former Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao had persuaded Song Ping, the former member of the Standing Committee and retaken control of the Central Guard Bureau (CGB).

For those who don’t know, the purpose of CGB is to provide close personnel protection to members of the Politburo Standing Committee and other CCP leaders. The committee is also responsible for the protection of Xi Jinping.

As Hu and Wen retook control of CGB, information was conveyed to Jiang Zeng and the Central Committee members in Beijing via telephone. The original standing committee members abolished Xi’s military authority at that very moment.

I have no idea if this is true or not.

NRL final entertainment next week looks even more lacklustre than the AFL. As a long suffering Parra fan I expect them to choke.

As for the AFL event can’t recall a smoking ceremony that was front & centre of at least a semi I saw. Saw the CEO’s worship of the nobile savage that was rapidly muted but not much else other than the half time bs. Curious whether it was hidden in an ad break.

KD, Helen, we’ll know tomorrow if there’s anything to it.

Unless the Great EMP Event happens between now and then.

As a long suffering Parra fan I expect them to choke.

Parra have beaten Penrith already this year. They have the spine, forwards and an effective offload style that can overrun Penrith. Who tf wants Penrith to win anyways?

After all the curated bull that came out of China at the beginning of 2020, I’m not buying a bit of it.

They are mischievous liars of the first water.

Wanna know how fucking useless the WA opposition is? They criticise government Covid policy, offering up VICTORIA as a superior alternative!

“By comparison, Victoria has many safeguards in place, that not only involve parliament but involve executive government in scrutinising and in providing information to support decisions they make,” the opposition’s emergency services spokesperson, Martin Aldridge, pointed out.

Dictator Dan would never delegate his Covid powers unless he somehow fell down the stairs or something.

Cutting.

Thanks Tom.

Solar panels are a key ingredient in making Australia a third world country

Chinese solar a key risk to Australia’s 2030 climate goal: Bowen

Canberra/ New York | Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will warn Australia faces an “enormous” task in meeting its newly legislated carbon emissions targets, with the heavy reliance on Chinese solar panels a key energy security risk.

“We need to train and mobilise hundreds of thousands of skilled blue- and white-collar workers to fill quality jobs.”

Target requires ‘dogged efforts’

Mr Bowen, who spent the week in New York and at a global clean energy forum in Pittsburgh, indicated he was under no illusions about what would be required to build an energy system with 82 per cent renewables generation and the biggest nationwide reductions of industrial emissions in history.

“The rapid scale-up of production required should not be used to mask unethical labour practices – this is a shared responsibility as well.”

We can make EVs in Australia: Bowen

In an interview with The Australian Financial Review, Mr Bowen said he was determined to see electric vehicle manufacturing take off in Australia with government help.

Mr Bowen also hinted at the introduction of tougher fuel efficiency standards. “Australia and Russia are the only two developed countries without fuel efficiency standards – that’s something that will be discussed.”

Exporters face more scrutiny and costs

During his visit to the US, the minister met US climate envoy John Kerry to sign a pact for faster government and private sector investment in renewable energy.

“Nobody has suggested to me that [nuclear] is something that Australia should be considering. It’s not something Australia has considered, and it’s not something to consider, because it is much too expensive for new energy,” Mr Bowen said.

Thanks Zipster but that makes no sense to someone who has no experience of this sort of net working, you’d call him a luddite . He only has a computer at work and usually gets staff to manage it . An oldie that has not kept up with technology. I have to show him how to do stuff on his iPhone .

“We have a range of policies which no doubt will be looked at in due course.

the old planning to make a plan bugmen speak

I believe we can make key components of electric vehicles and indeed electric vehicles totally in Australia.”

Dashboard fluffy dice and scalextrics

“Nobody has suggested to me that [nuclear] is something that Australia should be considering. It’s not something Australia has considered, and it’s not something to consider, because it is much too expensive for new energy,” Mr Bowen said

can’t crush the proletariat with cheap and reliable energy!

it’s not something to consider, because it is much too expensive for new energy,” Mr Bowen said.

1. A large chunk of the expense is the regulatory quagmire created by governments. We are not talking about an untested technology here, but the regulatory framework is based on the idea that a nuclear power station is a potential atom bomb.

2. “much too expensive” as opposed to the quadrillions you want to invest in environmentally ruinous, unreliable ‘renewables,’ right champ?

Having been hit by reality (albeit using a Nerf gun) in the form of briefing notes about what their pie in the sky targets actually entail, they are now softening us up for a world of pain in the form of higher energy prices and taxes.

Just waiting for the comparisons to sacrifices made during World Wars.

Victim attacked with chair outside NYC pizzeria says it will change his life

A lifelong New Yorker who had a chair hurled at him by a maniac outside a Hell’s Kitchen pizzeria said he’s now afraid to go out at night.

Buccino, a retiree who suffers from high blood pressure and kidney disease, blocked his head and dropped his phone, giving his attacker the chance to run off with it. Buccino, meanwhile, ended up with a broken forearm.

The Sept. 9 attack, caught on a video that was released by cops this week, occurred around 10:30 pm. Police described the suspect as a man with a dark complexion, last seen wearing a blue shirt and black and white checkered sneakers.

That never ends well.

On Greg Craven’s 10 Questions that must be answered by opponents of The Voice,”:
(HT Mak Siccar)

Leaving aside the querulous formulation of the questions, the answers all depend on having a clear idea of what The Voice would be – and what powers it would have.

Professor Craven obviously has a very clear and benign view of limited and responsible powers; one far sharper than allowed by the constitutional amendment proposed by Intellectual Giant Albanese:

• There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to parliament and the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

• The parliament shall, subject to this constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

So, pretty much anything goes that doesn’t explicitly conflict with the constitution, depending on what the government of the day thinks is the political expedient and what can be wrangled through a parliament currently controlled by the Children in the Senate.

In other words, a pig in a poke.
Trust us.

Sorry, that’s not a ‘NO’ .
It’s a ‘You must be fucking joking’.

(And I can’t imagine the Aboriginal Industry being impressed with the uncertainty, either.)
