I am sad that science has so declined because there is so much out there to be discovered and developed. Yet stuff like the climate rubbish has distracted scientists from doing anything real. The science news is very sad lately, so much is rubbish of no practical use and no resemblance to reality. My profession is dying.

“Sky News and 2GB host Chris Smith is suspended over allegations he acted ‘inappropriately’ around female staff at Christmas party.”
Not the first time he’s faced such an allegation. Apparently his wife left him last week. He’s probably devastated, and got inebriated.
Sometimes I wish I didn’t have such a long memory however I remember how Smith, after Pell was sentenced back in 2019, joined in the lynching, repeatedly calling Pell a pedophile on Sky prime time. It left a bad taste in my mouth.
Pauline Hanson’s wacky South Park-style cartoon series, Please Explain – which has lampooned everyone from Greta Thunberg to Malcolm Turnbull – will make a shock return next year.
And Diary can reveal that Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons are about to become characters.
The satirical series – featuring Hanson as the teacher of an unruly class of politicians and other wannabe influencers in Canberra – was originally launched as a six-episode series ahead of the May federal election to boost the One Nation leader’s campaign.
But Please Explain became an unlikely social media hit, regularly luring a combined one million viewers a week across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in Australia and overseas.
And there is plenty for the new series – produced by Melbourne animation house Stepmates – to play with.
Diary hears the smartly produced two-minute cartoons will take full advantage of the radically altered cast of politicians in Canberra.
A new breed of progressives have invaded Canberra since the election, including Teals, Greens and Labor MPs, along with left-leaning media types.
Diary hears that mocking the more woke side of politics will be a key plank of the series.
The most prominent new cast members be Wilkinson, her equally high-profile husband FitzSimons (apparently featuring as a pirate with his trademark red bandana) and Magda Szubanski.
The new member for Kooyong, Monique Ryan, will also feature prominently, still tormenting her predecessor Josh Frydenberg, while the alleged champagne-socialist teal traits are also likely to cop the Please Explain treatment.
And yes, the Greens will be back in a big way. But while Bandt is set to figure prominently, he is likely to be surpassed in airtime by Greens deputy Senate leader Lidia Thorpe, who we’re told will repeatedly feature depicted with some of her bikie mates.
Meanwhile, from Labor, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will now be a lead characters, while Qantas boss Alan Joyce and Twitter supremo Elon Musk will star in dedicated episodes, we hear.
The new series is expected to cost about $500,000 to produce. To raise money for its latest run, Hanson is producing 20,000 bottles of a new limited-edition Please Explain Queensland Rum, featuring on its label everyone from Ryan pursuing Frydenberg, Bob Katter in his broad-brimmed hat, and even Scott Morrison as the latest ‘ghost’ of PMs past.
If the 20,000 bottles can be sold by February, the cartoon’s new run will start early in the parliamentary year. Could be epic.

Put aside the clear evidence of collusion between senior Twatter staff and government officials from Homeland Security, the FBI and the DNI?CIA, which certainly compromised (at the least) the First Amendment.
Let’s instead look at Yoel Roth, who had a major role in the political issue, but also a wider role in Twatter. Are you concerned that such a man, whose PhD thesis included discussion of ways to allow underage kids access to adult sites like grindr, had such a senior role there? He seems to have been, at best, dilatory in removing child exploitation material from Twatter. Might it have been better had he shown less interest in deleting photos of Hunter Bunter’s “nine inch hog” and more interest in removing material about much smaller “hogs”?
It is beginning to become clear that the pre-Musk Twatter might have lacked both political and moral standing.
Too many green grants and green sinecure funding.

And how many Judges said that he is innocent? All of them in that Court. Wankers and Bigots NIL Case closed.
“Hubris followed by Nemesis.”
Quite so. Given Smith’s tawdry history he should have kept his mouth closed re. Pell, but just as he has a history of struggling to keep his zipper closed, he struggles to keep his mouth closed about certain things.
My comments are clearly being influenced by Roger Moore being charming (and deadly) to females in Moonraker.

I haven’t forgotten him either C.L. Both Murray and Smith seemed to delight in calling Pell a “pedophile” on prime time television. Neither man expressed any reservation about the verdict, and neither man, after the HC decision, had the decency to stand in front of the cameras and say “we were wrong about George Pell”.

Christopher Rufo looks at Yoel Roth’s academic publications and concludes ‘dude’s research background is wild.’ (10 Dec)
Some of his tweets are included, and they’re decidedly not, um, bland.
Cassie I have mentioned this before, the climate change preoccupation is geographic and/or class-based. The young women you work with probably come from the eastern or northern suburbs and from upper income families. That preoccupation stops at Parramatta where most of the newcomers live and also where the region of young families starts. These residents have far more pressing problems like mortgages, power bills, shopping price rises and having a second car to ferry the kids around.
I am not despairing that all young people have been brainwashed but that the political parties are only polling the comfortably rich who can afford the climate change nonsense.
Nah, too narrow. The impact is wider than that. I see it in biomedicine with so many published studies being of such poor quality that actually use online surveys. And don’t get me start on food frequency questionnaires! Or the huge amount of money wasted on proposed neurological condition cures. Those therapies for Alz are just plain nonsense. The same is true of Parkinson’s, the only promising treatment for that is the one currently underway involving stem cell implants. Psychology is replete with poor quality studies. In theoretical physics for a time if you weren’t doing string theory you weren’t doing anything. Over the last few decades hundreds of predictions concerning particles have proved to be little more than stabs in the dark but hey it is another publication tick for the authors. If you think it is just about green stuff you haven’t even begun to realise the scope of the problem.
You didn’t read and/or understand what Roth wrote, did you?
Musk has the thinnest skin in the world.
The latest demand is for a juvenile detention center to be built in the Kinberlys – the offenders won’t have to suffer the trauma of being flown to Perth, in handcuffs, and they won’t feel so isolated, as their families will be able to visit them…

Musk retracted those comments and apologised. All documented.

Just checked online for you Rabz, there are lots of very nice scarfs (scarves) that aren’t as pricey as the brands I mentioned, from $50 to $150, not up there in the over $500. Google ‘luxury scarf brands’.

If it isn’t, shame on the accuser.
“You didn’t read and/or understand what Roth wrote, did you?”
And you did? But at least we agree it was in his thesis and not some QAnon noise.
Have you seen what women wear these days?
Glad I’m not a father to daughters these days. Swimsuits are scandalous.
I’ve said it before, but it is worth repeating.
If women can be in your face with their sexuality why is it wrong for a man to do so?
Yes yes I get there are degrees to it.
“You lot” are too dumb to understand humour.
I think I’ve got the talking point to explain away Roth’s proclivities.
From time to time I have occasion to hold/attend business meetings. In those meetings neither I nor anybody else sit around googling any of the following words: Gay, Bareback, Pron. In fact nobody googles anything. Nor do we joke about those same words or anything of the sort.
We talk, like adults. Coz it’s a … y’know.. .business meeting.
This is but one of the many differences between my circles & those of Roth & the (former) Twitter culture.
This is something we should all keep in mind should Monty make reference to being involved in a “humorous situation” or a “business meeting“
Murray is an atheist.
I wonder how that coloured his commentary.

Some student advocates for Abe’s statue to be torn down.

The snippet being quoted from Yoel Roth’s thesis that is doing the rounds.
Monty can help us to understand the inherent nuance.
My unemployed middle-aged son with bi polar issues plus a seriously damaged leg from being beaten up while living on the streets, now living in public housing, unemployed, has given his heart to a huge dog which he shares with the schizophrenic woman living alone who is mother to my grandson via my other son from my first marriage. Last night the son who cares half time for the dog rang me that the schizo woman had ignored the dog’s ear, which had developed a problem. He told me how he had carefully cleaned out the animal’s ear with swabs and disinfectant and put Savlon on it, and wondered if I could help. Who could not? He said the young dog was patient and loving throughout this painful process. The love he has for this dog is better healing for my son than any shrinks he has seen.
Looks like a trip to the vet tomorrow if there is no improvement.
Which reminds me, I am currently bedtime-reading a book I found in Queensland in one of those little exchange cubbies: Noel Fitzpatrick, Becoming The Supervet: Listening to the Animals. No 1 Sunday Times Bestseller. He’s apparently a TV Vet phenomenon, I’ve never seen his show, but his story of his childhood on a farm in Ireland and his self-analytic observations about how life under hard times in a very undemonstrative farming family is quite engaging. I am chosing more books like this to read, easy reading with a personal story, to take my mind off so many other things. It works.
Let me guess, Pol – because uglee ol’ dinobores? 😕
Make that – how ‘life and personality unfolds under hard times’
if it takes more than one

blurb says: Listening to the Animals is ultimately a story of love, hope and compassion, and about rejoicing in the bond between humans and animals that makes us the very best we can be.
True enough. He writes quite well too, for a vet.
It doesn’t matter if young women are scandalous at the beach, it is either a crass mistake or European, but old blokes pulling their bits out in public is always wrong. Young blokes pulling their bits out in public is quite possibly rapey and both should be discouraged in the strongest terms.
As it did not mine, Rog, because I always knew the charges against Pell were preposterous.
As most of you would know, I don’t have a lot of time for the “church” or the clerisy.

Perhaps you could address what Mr Roth said, to the world and everyone. On Twitter and all.
Whenever someone mentions a ‘playbook’ they are just making shit up.

Do you retract and apologise for Shannon Brandt? Of course you don’t apologise because he fits your narrative. What a prick of a human you are.

Also:

Surely a public beach is different? (Why are they different? How would a man who did the same be treated?).

Roth is saying that underage kids are accessing hook up sites already, getting around existing barriers by lying about their age, so maybe it would be better to legalise it – for under-18s to only hook up with their age peers, not adults – and make it safe rather than let it run free for adult predators to roam.

Photographs of the stunning Mt Warning summit near Byron Bay could soon be banned under a new plan by the Aboriginal group which now controls the site.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet handed over management of Wollumbin National Park and Mt Warning to the small Wollumbin Consultative Group who promptly banned visitors to the once popular hiking spot.
The group made of Indigenous families and community organisations caused an uproar when they claimed allowing females, including those of Indigenous heritage, on the site would ruin its cultural significance.
As part of the Wollumbin Aboriginal Place Management Plan the traditional owners now want to ban using photos or images of the mountain for tourism, advertising or business purposes.

No. You can’t hook up on Tinder when you’re 14. GTFO the app and cop a shot to the ribs you little bastards.

There are already laws about that, which are enforced.
The anti-Semitism and homophobia on display on this issue is disgraceful. All the worst inclinations of the modern right in one story. The QAnon freaks must be laughing maniacally.

I don’t give him a thought. Just a silly bugger with too much time on his hands.
The obvious flaw in this plan is that if it is impossible to stop children impersonating adults on adult hook-up apps, what’s to stop adults from impersonating children on children’s hook-up apps??? The fact that Roth is even floating this idea shows that he knows nothing whatsoever about safeguarding, or that he doesn’t actually believe in it.
I just can’t get over the idea of a child-friendly hook-up app. Whoever even *thinks* like this has obviously got some interesting neural pathways VERY hard-wired, taking them to some dark places.
I shame them by defending principles that they abandoned in their partisan fervour.

I am not.
The debate over this is exactly the same as the debate over marijuana legalisation in Colorado, in which “libertarians” claimed it would magically abolish the black market and even reduce pot use. Nope!

That was my point but m0nty dismissed it with ” we have laws against that”, as if laws ever prevented crime.
That’s part of it, but there is a much bigger problem with the messaging here. If you genuinely believe there is a problem with child sexual exploitation on the internett, the very first step you need to take on this is not to legalise apps that incentivise and monetise child sexual activity. That’s a pretty OBVIOUS way to start the race a lap behind, isn’t it? And it doesn’t actually take you a SINGLE step closer to preventing inappropriate interactions between adults and children.
The real starting point is to actually tighten both taboos and legal safeguards around adult-child relations. This is definitely more of a thing in the UK nowadays.

Ever met people personally who, just by looking at them, give you a negative vibe?
Works on the net too by the looks of it, takes a bit longer though.
Correct. You’re just the blowhard hotel employee who posts that he’s Labor Royalty and reckons a prince Andrew was a really good guy going after barely legal girls. In other words you’re a prince of the gutter.

Well I was at lunch with some older women yesterday, comfortably well-off, well-travelled women in their late 60s and while both were away from the table their older husband (80)/partner (74)s confided that both were ‘climate change’ believers. we did not touch that subject but made sure to say the earth has seen 4.5 billion years of ‘climate change’

Higgins’ claim must be tested in open court
The Albanese Government cannot settle a compensation case involving Brittany Higgins behind closed doors.
Andrew Bolt
Justice demands the Albanese Government tests fully Brittany Higgins’ claim for nearly $3 million for a rape she has not proved.
Not just justice to taxpayers. How about justice to the man whose life is wrecked by an allegation he denies?
Higgins accused fellow Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann of raping her in Parliament House after a drunken night out.
That allegation will probably never be proved in the criminal courts after the first trial was aborted and the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions dropped the case, claiming the stress of a retrial could kill Higgins.
Yet Higgins was fit enough to immediately lodge this compensation claim against two Liberal ministers who employed her, and last week tweeted she was also prepared to be a witness “to defend the truth … in any potential civil cases brought by Mr Lehrmann” for compensation of his own.
I can understand why the criminal case, at least, became too stressful for Higgins. Claims she’d made to police about the alleged rape turned out in court to be false.
Some claims she made about the bullying and lack of support by the two Ministers, Linda Reynolds and Michaelia Cash, were denied.
Only then did Higgins become too fragile to continue.
That means the only court proceeding so far that Higgins can’t cope with is a criminal trial where the truth of what she claims must be established beyond reasonable doubt.
This compensation claim requires a lower standard of proof and can even be settled outside court by the Finance Department.
Indeed, the Government might find it politically convenient if Higgins is just handed the millions, without making her prove anything.
Labor has used her to smash the former Morrison Government as heartless and sexist, and the more she now gets for her alleged trauma, the worse the Liberals will seem.
What’s more, the Finance Department will probably argue it’s cheaper to pay Higgins than fight her in court.
But what price justice?
Every Australian must be presumed innocent until proven guilty, but if the Commonwealth simply hands Higgins millions, many will assume Lehrmann did rape her.
That is monstrously unfair, when Lehrmann has already been robbed of the chance of being found not guilty at his criminal trial.
The Finance Department cannot settle this highly politicised case behind closed doors.
It must test Higgins’ claim in open court, where Lehrmann, Reynolds and Cash get the chance to prove their innocence.
No more politics.
Let’s look for truth.

Straight up lie by Andrew Bolt.
Reynolds and Cash were notified months ago.
Is he trying to pretend that Higgins is running the claim from her place.
Gimme a fuckin’ break.
Lehrmann’s Legal team have made at least 15 Applications in various Courts for a Permanent Stay of Proceedings.
Including at least one on Mental Health grounds.
Now he claims he wanted the Trial to go ahead to clear his name?
Fuck off, and when you get there, keep going.
