I’m not kidding about this. Wifey told me she went for a haircut and got to talking to the hairdresser. Trump was first on the hairdresser’s agenda, and of course she ran with the left-wing party line. Wifey then asked her what she thought about The Voice. The gal apparently thought wifey was talking about the TV show.

Transsexual “women” are a male homosexual parody of femininity because the male homosexuals trying on the deception have zero experience of their subject.
As well, the sex-change drugs they’re pumping into their bodies fill them with rage so the mass murders and attempted mass murders by transsexuals we’re now seeing in America were totally predictable.
BTW, male homosexual contempt for womanhood is everywhere at the Sydney Mardi Gras every year.

We had a very clear run down from Albury to Bendigo today, Good Friday. No trucks and almost no other traffic. You leave the highway and travel through the plains of the Goulburn Valley covered in fruit trees around Shepperton, where we picked up a Subway bun for lunch (the only thing open, shades of Covid closedown in Key West, Florida in March 2020). Quite a few aboriginal men loitering around, but no-one else, everything shut as on Christmas Day. Just out of town, a mosque with many middle eastern people leaving it after Friday prayers. After that the paddocks grow larger and become acres and acres of wheat and pastures. Still all flat until the turn towards Bendigo, which is a classic old country city with some interesting architecture. I was interested that placed on the country main roads had crash barriers wherever there were big stands of trees close to the road; a sign somewhere said that they really do save lives. I presume that’s by stopping head-ons into unforgiving trees.
We are staying at the Mercure, a contemporary ‘Art’ hotel, not a bad change from the worked-over renovated country motel we stayed in last night where the large round door handles, left over from the seventies, were wobbly and hard to operate although everything else was renewed. The rooms here are small and very thoughtfully designed, rather Japanese in style, and offer art books for your perusal in bed. Hairy has just departed for the gym, which is another reason we chose to stay here. I might tackle a Mr. Motivator in a minute. I’ll have to put down this white wine down first though.
Just spoken to Mater on the phone. We are meeting with his family for lunch tomorrow, sadly too difficult for some others to come in from out of town tomorrow. But the reservation is flexible, for those who may still attend. Contact Mater first.
There’s a name from the dim and distant past.
It was all about wandering uteri, I believe.
Probably had more to do with boredom and frustration brought about by not enough to do. I bet there was not “hysteria” in the slave ranks.
At 21 I was busy paying off my first mortgage and getting used to being married.
Fortifying myself for the musical challenge ahead tonight; Rheingold is a pagan theme for Good Friday, but that’s the day they chose, not us. I’m still surprised that it is on tonight though.
Something related to that is what Jordan Peterson spoke about recently. He reckons that mothers who push kids into gender reassignment are very mentally ill and need to be under mental health supervision.

Imagine yourself strapped on that tower in the background where the white rectangle is – the focal point. 34 kw getting zapped into you from a rated 500kw array 1.5 km away. Everyone would watch you get cooked very quickly with the aroma of flesh permeating in air for those standing down wind taking a sniff. A full concentrated burst at 500kw would make your body explode as you bodily fluids vaporize from within.
What they have at their disposal today is scary. Much, much , more powerful. Today, they use multiple arrays and zap the atmosphere with massive amounts of power to produce the desired manipulative effects on the weather.

Queensland police believe an elderly woman who has been missing for 12 days from inner-city Brisbane has died, and are investigating whether her disappearance is linked to her habit of removing recyclable waste from neighbourhood bins.
…
“Mrs Trotter would often go to wheelie bins out the front of her residence or the neighbouring properties and remove recycling trash from general waste bins and transfer those into the correct bins,” Massingham said.
“We have not ruled out that this activity in some way is linked to her death.”
Police said Trotter was well known in the neighbourhood for ensuring rubbish was put into the correct bins.
“Whether that’s created some angst amongst the tenants, we’re working through that at the moment,” Massingham said.
Well, that’s done now. You can do a twelve minute one or a twenty minute one. I just did twenty minutes, and feel better for it.

At which point, a nearby pigeon flew into the path of the microwave embitter and immediately fell out of the sky.
They were told that they couldn’t use a pigeon as proof of operation every time they used the equipment.

Try calling Grant “blackfella” and telling him to shut up. The explosion would be seen from Pluto.
Steve Trickler, you want microwave power transmission? Look up SPS (Solar Power Satellites). The only way to get 24/7 solar power. Use the powersat to generate microwaves which are beamed to rectenna farms on Earth. There has been a LOT of work done on this and right now IIRC a small demo system is flying.
Won’t work. Cost of getting the stupid things into geostationary; you can’t use solar or wind to do that. Plus the things wear out very quickly; the photovoltaic process kills the cells gradually on Earth. Under 24 hour solar unmitigated by an atmosphere the things deteriorate very quickly; plus the conversion equipment to change the energy into microwaves is very expensive and also wears out fast.
We have to have a constitutionally enshrined voice that empowers our people, regionally and nationally, to make bureaucrats accountable, and respond to representations on all policy matters and legislative matters that affect us.
The bureaucrats should be held accountable in front of Estimates Committees, though they seem to have less fear of defying those committees than 25 years ago. Does she want the Constitutional right to question bureaucrats at Estimates Committees?
Representations on brad policy matters can be made to her local MP, or directly to the responsible minister.
What she wants is a private link to the corridors of power, not available to other Australians, that link being based on race and a specific ethnicity.
“And the Liberals don’t look good, either. Why didn’t Mirabella push back harder against the insulting of one of his colleagues? The Victorian Liberals’ suspension of Deeming was shameful. It was a yellow-bellied capitulation to the woke mob.”
Brendan O’Neill, as always, nails it. A perfect description of the Liberal Party in 2023.
Further to useless, spineless, craven, cowardly, capitulating Liberals, where are the stupid f*cking Liberals on this. Sleazy sat with a “controversial Islamic sheik who called AIDS a divine punishment for homosexuality and preached against Jews ‘inciting hatred’ while having special legal protections. Mr Albanese tweeted an image of himself at a table with a smiling Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman on Wednesday evening and said it was an ‘honour’ to attend the ritual fast-breaking Iftar dinner with him. Sheikh Shady is president of the Australian National Imams Council president, which advises governments on key Islamic issues, but he has been embroiled in a number of controversies including being briefly banned from travelling to New Zealand following the Christchurch massacre.”
Ahhhh yes, I suppose some Jew hatred is quite kosher, pardon the pun. Must be because those Jew haters have “legitimate grievances“. But why not call out Sleazy, especially since two weeks ago Labor and the Greens were screaming, shouting and screeching Nazis, Nazis, Nazis and implying conservatives are “Nazis”. I ask, where are the Liberals on this? No where of course.
“Just spoken to Mater on the phone.”
Lizzie, please pass on my regards to Mater, and tell him we miss him here, very much.

Dear Calli,
Thank you for your kind and loving words. And I must say I have long admired your wit and grace (also in a non-sapphic way, of course.)
You might feel differently when I announce that although half an inch shorter than your dear self, I do have a little bit of a penchant for 3 inch stiletto heels. They go so nicely with my collection of dresses.
Have I joined the club only to now be cast out?
On a serious note, we are seeing the rise of misogyny in our culture. Not the stupid, political point-scoring rubbish practised by the likes of Gillard and the rest. But the real “we despise and disrespect you and if you get out of line, we will bash you. We will use our superior strength to make sure you shut up.” While those who practise this violence declare themselves victims.
It is really f**ked up beyond belief.

The cost of delivering the 1,700-kilometre Inland Rail project in the eastern states has blown out to $31.4 billion, according to a damning new report, which warns the price tag may climb even higher because it is still unclear where the line “will start or finish”.
“Two years ago the estimate was $16.4 billion, and now it is about $31 billion.”

It was all the rage in the ’80s and was thought of as one way to raise capital to build O’Neill Colonies in orbit.
Sigh. I dearly loved the whole idea. Moon miners, lunar electromagnetic catapults to deliver lunar materials into High Earth orbit, the Powerline Constellation in the midnight sky.

Feeding the Masses: How Sydney eats at Easter time

Won’t work. Cost of getting the stupid things into geostationary; you can’t use solar or wind to do that.
Elon’s crew is about to launch Super Heavy/ Starship for the first time. Game changer.
Solar panels seem to work fine on Comsats for years and years. There are some nice concepts with an large array of small solar panels and a phased array microwave antenna integrated into the back of each of them.
The O’Neill concept was to build them from lunar materials and move the materials to high Earth orbit using electromagnetic catapults on the Moon. Lots cheaper that way.

I soooo envy ladies who can wear high heels. I used to totter around on them but no more. The more comfy the better for me these days.

From your link, cohenite:
Currently, the cost of launching in space is estimated to be £7,716 per kilogram
I think it is down to around US$2500 per kilogram using Falcon 9. Elon hopes to get this down to US$100 with Starship. As I said, game changer.

Joh, good things come in small packages, that’s you, me, Calli and Tinta who have all announced under 5ft 4 inches.
At roughly 5’4’’ (at least I was – probably have shrunk since then) – I don’t think of myself as “small”.
As for the high heels – I once had a beautiful pair of red patent leather very, very high heels – which I successfully walked around in. I simply cannot imagine how on earth I did that, since I now totter on quite modest heels.
Ah youth! Anything was possible.
Cats, I’ve been listening to a lot of Gil Scott-Heron of late and bizarrely, he’s more relevant than ever.

I just hope the power doesn’t go. My Generator has been connected to the LPG, waiting for the sparky to connect it to the Power. No local sparkies here. If it’s an emergency, they’ll be there in a fortnight. All other jobs, six to eight weeks.
We are in Sydney for Easter & have just seen a message from AGL that our power is out on the farm. As I have explained before, we have a 10kw solar system – but are still connected to the grid & have power outages when the grid goes down – day or night.
When this last happened a month or so ago our new bore pump setup did not start up again when power resumed, & the camera set up to monitor the bore pressure was out of battery! Thank goodness we returned in time, as the trough in the paddock our cows were in was dry when we returned.
We have since restored the old mechanical pressure switch which should not be affected by the power cut off which affects the new digital switch which is designed to detect burst pipes.
All of this makes us even more determined to either get a special switch to disconnect from the grid from time to time – or to just completely disconnect.

Been ruminating (again) on the legendary Theodore Dalrymple quote about passively accepting blatant absurdities.
Here it is in all its glory:
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.

Kangaroo Flat. LOL haven’t been there in years, last time I was there I had a decent sesh with a mate in the pub watching the footy. Would have been around 2004. Family I have there live on the other side of Bendigo.
As an undergrad in the early ’90’s K Flat was very working class and housing commission, I used to do delivery driving down there. Remember doing a delivery to a house across from the rail line, a big bloke with a goatee answered the door. Took one look at me and yelled down the hallway “hay fatso your pizza is here.”
Charming place but better than Long Gully anyway.
Oh my.
Scanning my way through various telly-o-vision shows in between reading some other stuff, and stumbled upon an advertisement featuring Adam Goodes – prominent whinger, finger-pointer at teenage girls and general proponent of first-grade sookage.
The ad was for Cadbury Chocolate, who are apparently promoting a ‘leadership’ brand of chocky.
Mr Goodes, if any further demonstration of his insipidity were required, is sporting a man bun.
Ok, Ok.
The coffee wasn’t bad four years ago.
Careful, he’ll probably be part of any voice to Parliament.
Thankfully I grew up in a better section of it (The Flat)

The best sort. Apparently the guy who owned the apartment in rented in Melbournibad did the whole development and still had 20 of them. I could see why he was left with this one – the “view” was basically the blank concrete wall of the adjoining place at 90 degrees. Not that I cared – it was essentially a place to sleep. It became an issue when he tried to sell the place after getting a cancer diagnosis.

Last week, Pauline Hanson decided to join in the opprobrium of Mark Latham, all because he spoke some basic truths about homosexual sex in a twitter response to creepy sinister independent Alex Greenwich, who first called Latham a “disgusting human being”. Pauline decided to join in the outrage mob, and called for Latham to apologise. Silly woman.
Anyway, the Daily Telegraph is reporting….
Pauline Hanson slammed over depiction of NDIS in ‘Please Explain’ video
One Nation and Pauline Hanson have been condemned over a video about the NDIS that disability groups have labelled as “hateful and discriminatory”.
Pauline Hanson has been slammed over a video posted on her YouTube channel on the NDIS that appears to make fun of disabled Australians.
The video on the ‘Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain’ account depicts Liberal leaders Peter Dutton and Susan Ley being told they qualify for the NDIS after their shock loss at the Aston by-election.
“The Liberal Party now qualifies for the NDIS … the national disability insurance scam – scheme, scheme, I mean scheme,” a doctor says in the two-minute cartoon clip.
The video goes on to describe the scheme as the “biggest budget blowout yet” and erroneously claims that people with a stubbed toe are eligible for the program, are as Greens voters, because they have a “cognitive disability”.
One clip appears to depict Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John, who uses a wheelchair and is the nation’s first disabled Senator, surrounded by sex workers.
The video was labelled as “repugnant, hateful and discriminatory” by advocacy groups People with Disability Australia (PWDA) and Advocacy for Inclusion (AFI).
“The insensitive cruelty of this propaganda by the Hanson team stoops to new lows, with its offensive, inappropriate and inaccurate depictions of disability supports under the NDIS,” said PWDA President Nicole Lee said.
That call was echoed by Head of Policy at AFI and longtime NDIS campaigner Craig Wallace.
“The video inspires hatred against disabled people and is a particularly nasty and vile depiction of the lives of highly vulnerable people with disability…it should be roundly condemned by all decent Australians including our national leaders,” he said.
The video claimed that conditions like stubbing a toe would allow people to qualify, something that Mr Wallace says “blatantly misrepresents” eligibility, with the reality that the NDIS is “highly limited and constrained to people with permanent and significant impairment”.
Many people still struggle to get basic equipment or personal care, others have had plans cut, and the prolonged assessments and bureaucracy mean that this is hardly a luxury,” he said.
The term “scam” was repeated throughout the video, something Mr Wallace took particular issue with.
“It is also inaccurate to suggest that people with disability are ‘scamming’ the scheme when we know we are actually more likely to be the victims of scams, poor services and rip offs by services and businesses seeking to profit from disabled people,” he said.
PWDA and AFI have called for the video to be removed and “replaced with a public apology to the 4.4 million Australians living with disability”.
NCA NewsWire has contacted Ms Hanson and Mr Steele-John for comment.
When contacted for comment a spokesman for Ms Hanson told NCA NewsWire the Senator was “on a break”
Hey Pauline, I hope you don’t apologise but here’s a thought, perhaps you should apologise to Mark Latham. Oh and Pauline, trying to suck up to the left never works, because they’ve always hated you and they always will.
Hollyweird Boulevard, circa 1977 …
Until then, tramps like us baybee …
Greenwich also labeled Latham as “dangerous” which is probably far mor damaging than “disgusting” which is simply a term of taste or preference.
Dangerous implies something else entirely.
