The ambulance people: Yes. I was absolutely miffed. I hate that sort of shabby treatment. Chiding employees should be done out of the public eye. I was offended and disgusted by that lady’s behaviour. She not only decided to do it public, she probably lied to him about making him comfortable, she was loud and obnoxious and wanted people to hear her.
Job interview 1: Back in undergrad, was a horrible job being a piss tester for drugs, they were dishonest about what the job was. I thought it was funny (back then) that they were not up front about it.
Job interview 2: Finance sales job. I got the feeling he was a part owner and trust fund kiddie. He’d piss you off before you’d buy anything. If he wanted to assert dominance he should have told be to bring an apple I could bite and hold there for 30 minutes. Thanks for the coffee champ but I have absolutely no idea why you even bothered. 30 minutes of gloating and name dropping. It would have been fun if I decided to take something legal or illegal beforehand.

Just sending off my investment fund redemption instruction. My Advance investment was recently taken over by “Mercer“, whose web pages loudly shouted their sustainable and ESG investment credentials. So far, in the month in which I no longer been able to access the fund value or get at my money, the value has consistently fallen from where it was under Advance. I’m just now sending off the full redemption request to cash out the investment (to be applied – to start – into the offset account for an increasingly crippling mortgage). Here’s my message to them:

School District Nixes ‘Boy’ for 10-Year-Olds, Replaces It With ‘Person Who Produces Sperm’
The school is determined to “align [its] curriculum” with the district’s equity plan. Therefore, “Teachers will be using gender-inclusive language throughout [the science/health] unit.”
The letter offers two examples of inclusion. Curiously, the lesson plan won’t include boys or girls.
Also in the name of inclusion, Founders Memorial will make certain to exclude males and females. As for people who subscribe to such categories, they’ll be excluded for the sake of inclusivity.
To accomplish additional inclusion, parents and students who believe sex is observed at birth — rather than “assigned” — will be on the outs.
Further excluded: the notion that human beings bear assigned sex.
Now onto the overwhelming inclusion…
We will be using the following language with students:
Person who produces sperm in place of boy, male, and assigned male at birth.
Person who produces eggs in place of girl, female, and assigned female at birth.
Yep, in particular hogget. Kill at sundown, firm up overnight, dress in the morning, eat hot off the grill.
“Waltzing Matilda” is a cautionary tale. Don’t faff around with sheep, kill, eat, and immediately distribute what you can’t freeze.
Bespoke.

You horrible sheep eating cats.
The Dorpers are so traumatised they are heading to Zulu’s place in terror.
I love sheep.
They produce offspring known as lambs.
They have beautiful legs that can be roasted with potatoes, carrots, parsnips and onions. Don’t worry about the greens – sheep eat grass so you get that in the lamb package.
That is all.
I grew up on a staple diet of mutton, on the sand plain country of Western Australia. Chicken was a rare delicacy, beef and pork were almost unknown. I’ve detested mutton ever since.
Sweet Jesus that’s a very bad hot take.
So the ‘people’s priest’ is getting a state funeral. Further evidence that there’s zero significance in a state funeral in this country. Absolutely none whatsoever.

Tucker Carlson Breaks His Silence in New Video Message For First Time Since Fox News Fired Him
My favourite “security screening” was a flight from Mildura to Melbourne.
The security screening was done upon arrival, at Melbourne.
When I enquired of the goons going through handbags etc, what would they do if they found scissors or something in my briefcase, they were nonplussed, especially when I suggested they may have to return me to Mildura or something.
Oh my Lordy Lord.
This is getting beyond a joke.
Serves only to confuse overseas tourists.
It is annoying, as the screen rotates, meaning half the time it is total gibberish.
Truly horrible and deeply exclusionary.
How is this oppressive nomenclature supposed to recognise transitioned former sperm-persons (or former egg-persons) who have chosen (via healing and affirmative gender reassignment) to not have the physical capacity to produce either sperm or eggs.
Bastard normative troglodytes.

One big significance is who pays for it. Funerals aren’t cheap and I doubt he’s being planted in potter’s field.

Fr Bob Maguire is getting a state funeral because Dan Andrews thinks that will stick one up the Catholic Church.

Currently, there’s a civil case in Manhattan in which Trump is accused of rape, in the mid 90s. This rape, according to the victim, occurred between autumn of 95 to spring 96. It also was supposed to have occurred in a busy department store.

Tucker Carlson is correct about the discussions that aren’t occurring because of current orthodoxies.
The big dirty secret of renewables is the impact they have on agriculture and the environment. Have you seen or heard any discussion in the media or politics mentioning this?
The two hundred tonne of cement under each turbine will never be removed and there’s no obligation on the foreign businesses who fund these “farms” to remediate the land. Did you know that?
All trees and shrubs are removed from any site unless it is bare land. Increasingly the companies are looking to use cleared productive farm land because it’s cheaper to dig clay than rock on hills.
Renewables are creating wildlife deserts everywhere they go. Nothing of any size can inhabit a solar farm because of the immense heat generated and the fear of damage to panels.
No media – no care.

There’s an aspect to the abundance and price of protein (especially meat) that Cassie touched upon a couple of days ago. It’s waste. If it costs more, you value it more. If an animal has been killed to supply your table with meat, you respect it and be grateful.
I’m not advocating price increases at all, but a shift in attitude about what it means to be in a land of plenty. I shake my head sometimes about the amount of food my children throw out, even though they were trained by example to be careful. Multiply this by households.
It’s a first world problem though. The solution is shortage and want (because virtually no one is inclined to be particularly aware and penny-pinching), but that means a collapse like the great depression or war. No one wants that.

If Dr. Stewart clinical results are supported by a trial it will be the first decent breakthrough in treating CTE. It won’t be a cure but has the potential to help many former players. I found only one animal study that supports his idea of using the treatment prior to playing. CTE is devastating, it strikes early and is found in young adult players, which means they at very high risk in the years to come.

Tinta-
classy wins the eyeballs
What’s fascinating about that bit of set-up is just about all of the men try to get eye contact- just about all of the women look her up and down. Counterintuitive to the myth of the impersonal male gaze.
I agree, Tints.
Modern dress sense (especially for young sheilas) seems to be about presenting yourself as a sexual object – mere biology. A young woman checks herself in the mirror before she goes out to make sure her tits look like two flesh-coloured water balloons struggling to escape through the top of their blouse or T-Shirt, gaping mid-riff to show as much skin as possible, and jeans so tight that if you look you will notice they only go as far as the knee – all the blue below that is just where the blood flow is cut off. (Is that why they call them cut-off jeans?) It must have an effect on how she sees herself – when she has done well, when she has got it wrong, what will others think etc.
If those palaeolithic Venus figurines had had mouths and a finger to stick into their throat they would be dead ringers.
The overall effect is, as I say, mere sexuality – but it also looks…heavy. Like deadweights on the earth, as meat does.
Add to that the fact that what they have to work with is not always the merchandise that belongs on the top shelf of the display case.
For all of being warned about body shaming and encouraging the idea that you should not feel obliged to anything restricts you more than your pyjamas do, as you say, elegance works. It communicates a sense of something elevated, mysterious, refined, any or all and more. It elicits interest rather than mere lust.
Disclaimer: Midriffs and jeans can be done well, you just rarely see it. It takes a little more than just saying “the highest shirt and lowest jeans I can get”.

Cardinal Erd?: Pope’s Visit to Hungary Tells Us ‘Christ is Our Future’
In presenting the trip, Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See press office, pointed out how Hungary is a “bridge” country. Erd? noted that “being a bridge has always been our vocation. The Danube that runs through the city of Budapest was the border of the Roman Empire, the border of the Empire of Charlemagne; it was the northernmost province of the Ottoman Empire. Hungary has understood itself as part of the Western world for a thousand years and entered it through the Holy See with our king, St. Stephen. For this reason, our relations with the pontificate and the pope also have a symbolic value for the nation, not just for Catholics.”

Interesting hypothesis – RFK on Tucker’s ousting:
Fox fires @TuckerCarlson
five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers. Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless. For many years, Tucker has had the nation’s biggest audience averaging 3.5 million — 10 times the size of CNN. Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.

Biden/Fetterman 2024 – it’s a no brainer
Lowest ratings, relentless bias, still working from home. ABC staff get 11% pay rise.
The ABC really is a fool’s paradise.
Every under-performing, self absorbed bum gets a substantial pay rise.
You have to feel for the small group who actually do pull their weight.
The Australian reports:
Thousands of ABC employees will receive an 11 per cent pay rise and $1500 bonus after a majority of staff voted in favour of the new pay deal.
Lowest TV ratings, beating only fellow basketcase SBS.
Appalling radio ratings. Shit in most major cities.
An extraordinary budget.
Uncontrolled bias and tokenism … and still a substantial percentage of the staff “work from home”.. or pretend to.
The only joke is, you’re paying for it.
Train Derails Into Mississippi River Near Wisconsin-Iowa Border
There has been another train derailment, this time near the Wisconsin-Iowa border, along the Mississippi River. The BNSF Railway train derailed around 12:15 pm local time.
Video posted on Twitter shows several train cars toppled into the river.
While it isn’t yet clear what the train was carrying, officials have indicated there is no need to evacuate at this time.
It was not immediately clear what the train cars were carrying, but a spokesperson from the railroad company, BNSF Railway, said it was carrying “freight of all kinds.” Two of the three locomotives, or engines, are derailed along with several train cars.
Officials said the derailment occurred about 12:15 p.m. near the villages of Ferryville and De Soto in Crawford County, about 30 miles south of La Crosse. State Highway 35, which runs along the Mississippi River is closed at the Black Hawk Bridge over the river from Iowa
The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office did not provide additional information but said in a brief statement on Facebook that there was no need for people to evacuate.
That undoubtedly comes as a relief to those who have seen the ongoing fallout from the February derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
While the cause of this latest derailment is under investigation, it’s difficult not to notice the seeming spate of similar incidents of late:

Dan’s accident has been on radar for years . ambulance report is just one of many anomalies.
ISTR that there was no breath test either.
Who needs the voice to start the extortion? It’s already in place thanks to our woke elites.
Roger – I’d guess that the 65% for Biden is because of the demo: Democrat voters who intend to vote in the primary. Which is a lot narrower than all Democrat voters.
Also it depends what the instructions to Ass Press is, they do the will of their masters.

Currently, there’s a civil case in Manhattan in which Trump is accused of rape, in the mid 90s. This rape, according to the victim, occurred between autumn of 95 to spring 96. It also was supposed to have occurred in a busy department store.
The founder of LinkedIn is partially funding the case on the victims side.
Unreal.
The woman involved has a history of psychiatric issues. Like every other ‘complaint’ against Trump this is a lie conducted in a demorat district. This woman is a demorat hack journalist with a book to sell and she is bringing a civil claim, with a lower standard of proof
The problem is that you have high expectations. You need to stop aiming high, let alone aiming upwards at all.

Sydney’s richest and poorest postcodes: How does your area compare?
Erskineville, the small inner-west suburb wedged between bohemian Newtown and the once-industrial area of Alexandria, has emerged as the surprise winner of Australia’s top-ranked postcode, based on a mix of household income, occupation and education measures.
Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 census data, released on Thursday, reveals that all of the top 10 most socio-economically advantaged postcodes in Australia, and 42 of the top 50, are in Sydney. The eastern suburbs and north shore dominate the top 10, with four postcodes apiece. Melbourne’s top postcode, East Melbourne, comes in at 43.
Sydney’s imaginary latte line, which separates the city along social and economic metrics, remains a powerful divide – but a slew of postcodes are in the process of transforming from working-class areas to more affluent enclaves.
Social researcher Mark McCrindle said Erskineville’s ranking demonstrates that “gentrification and transformation can happen because it was very much a working-class area”, as were some other high-performing locations such as Balmain, Newtown and Surry Hills.

From these divisions of power and prohibitions THEN you ought to have a bill of rights.
I had an arch-enemy once, he was the TNT delivery driver assigned to my area.
Opinion: Let’s have minimum speeds on our freeways
Following on from their recent introduction in Abu Dhabi, Rob Margeit believes enforcing minimum speed limits on our freeways will make us better drivers.
Last week’s report that Abu Dhabi had introduced a minimum speed limit on some sections of a popular motorway got me thinking about whether a similar change should be enacted here in Australia.
For those who missed it, officials in Abu Dhabi have mandated that motorists travelling in the two furthermost left lanes along a 62km stretch of the four-lane Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Road must drive at a minimum speed of 120km/h. The sign-posted speed limit is 140km/h. Drivers who drive slower than the minimum sign-posted speed in those two lines face fines the equivalent of $AU162.
The move is being touted as a safety measure, officials arguing cars travelling too slowly in the fast lanes represent a safety risk to other motorists.
We’d venture, the new legislation will also go a long way to helping to curb road rage. After all, who hasn’t come up behind a slow-moving car on one of our freeways, travelling at 90km/h when everyone else around them is meriting along at the sign-posted 110km/h? Frustrating right?
We know there are rules around not travelling in the right-hand lane unless overtaking, but they’re rubbery and ill-policed. Hands up if you’ve ever known anyone to be booked for hogging the right-hand lane? No, me neither.
But, would mandating a minimum speed limit and then actively policing it work here? Setting aside our ludicrous and overly-cautious speed limits (anyone for 130km/h?), would a rule that states motorist in the two right-hand lanes on our multi-lane motorways must travel at a minimum of 100km/h be feasible? Would it make a difference to traffic flow? Would it make you calmer behind the wheel?
Of course, any such move from the authorities would require us, the motorists, to play our part. Thanks to my job here at Drive, I’ve been fortunate to travel the world, driving on all manner of roads in a vast array of vehicles. And every single time, I come home impressed by lane etiquette in other countries.
I’m going to be blunt, Australian lane etiquette is amongst the worst I’ve experienced anywhere in the world. We have a propensity to hog the right-hand lanes, travelling either at, or even below, the speed limit while behind us an increasingly frustrated conga line expresses its annoyance by undertaking using the middle lanes (dangerous) or tail-gating (even more dangerous).
In short, if we want increased speed limits on our freeway systems, then I believe our lane etiquette needs to change. And one way, I think, to make people more aware of the road and their fellow motorists, could be to mandate minimum speed limits on certain stretches of motorways, minimum limits that are enforced by police with offenders facing fines.
Whether any of our state legislators have the courage to impose speed minimums is doubtful, however, certainly based on the scorched earth policy they seem to have when it comes to speed limits which have been meticulously and systematically framed as the work of the devil.
A disclaimer issued…curiosity takes over.

Sometimes ya gotta go on the hunt personal-like.
On the way to NZ a month ago, I left my Yeti mug in the front seat of the taxi. It was dark when we left for the airport, and I said to the taxi driver: “Don’t let me forget that…”
20 minutes later, phoned the taxi company in the faint hope he was around and I could meet him out the front. No go. Filled in their lost property form – no result through email etc. Did it again two weeks later – same.
Finally got an address out of their despatcher – who was working from NZ – and found their base in Fyshwick, Canberra – a huge light industrial area. The “base” turned out to be a lonely warehouse with a few busted taxis in it, and another lady despatcher. There on their lost property table was the Yeti.
The hunter, having gone out at dawn, makes the kill, and strides back to the cave with the antelope over his shoulder.
Albo, the Tory fighter……I’m surprised he doesn’t insist on carrying the Aboriginal flag.

Dystopian Global Influence of The World Economic Forum: WEF Young Global Leaders have infiltrated Governments to enforce The Great Reset
More like equity, which relied on the Chancellor often being the Archbishop of Canterbury, appealing to the King’s Christian conscience.
Some “common law” stuff goes back to Norman law and really canon but yet again Roman law.
“No penalty without law” has four parts and goes back to natural law – arguably it is mostly Christian in influence since Britain was Romanised even before Christ.
Having no statute of limitations for even petty crimes and severe penalties for minor crimes in that category is and was not Christian. Over 200 offences carried the death penalty. Compare that to King Athelstan who made it law that capital punishment must not be carried out on those under the age of 13 (I thought it was 15 in another source?).
So not a felony, but an opportunity to smear Trump with a hope of stopping independent voters drifting across to him, and to perhaps tie him up in law courts.
The Democrats must have farms where they raise herds of women just waiting to accuse Republicans of rape.
Selling of their culture.

His visit this month will only be his second visit to Hungary.
The Holy Father had made a brief stop in the country’s capital of Budapest to celebrate Mass for the closure of the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress on 12 September 2021, on his way to Slovakia.
Pope Francis had also has shown his closeness to the Hungarian faithful during his visit to Romania, when celebrated Mass at the popular Hungarian pilgrimage site of Csíksomlyó (?umuleu Ciuc) in the Romania’s Transylvania region.
Transylvania had once been part of Hungary, but became Romanian territory in 1920. Ethnic Hungarians in Romania total more than one million people.
What exactly is the claim?
Thank you.

Their ABC glories in the Wonder of Renewables:
Drop in wholesale power prices as renewable energy generation from wind and solar grows, AEMO finds
Reading the AEMO and Australian Energy Regulator Q1 reports tells a slightly more nuanced story.
* Average ‘visible’ electricity demand in the NEM was flat Q on Q;
* Black coal was the low-price price setter – and increased supply by an average 1,276MW Q on Q;
* Because of the cooler, La Nina 2023 summer, more rooftop solar was diverted into the domestic supply, displacing coal-fired generation;
* Wholesale gas prices fell to around A$9/GJ in line with the massive reduction in the global seaborne LNG price – stripping a significant daily volume of $600/MWh gas-fired peaking out of the market;
* The low, low, too-cheap=to-meter $83/MWh Q1 2023 average NEM price is still ~60% higher than the Q1 2021 average price.
Having said all that, renewable generating capacity did increase significantly, primarily in the large scale solar.
Sadly, given grid constraints and the lack of storage this didn’t do anything much to service peak demand. What we see instead is the start of a renewables generation overhang – which will discourage further investment until the market is further distorted to make it all fit, somehow.
Oh, and Shitweasel Bowen’s masterful gas market intervention has delivered New and Improved Sovereign Risk for a benefit that was in the pipeline anyway.
In safe hands.
Hume’s position really only makes sense if you have adopted his metaphysics and his metaphysics has huge problems. Feser’s The Last Superstition is a very good remedy for that and will account and resolve the alleged absurdity, given the necessity involved.

Golden Rule on Northern Beaches – when Liberals are in nothing gets done as (previously always voted Liberal), when Labor gets in nothing gets done as they vote Liberal
Took a bet when Liberals announced Northern Beaches Tunnel would never happen – like propoesed Bridge 1950s over Middle Harbour from Dalwood going along the lower escarprment of Castle Crag which looked elegant – never happened
Happy to live in Northern Beaches Isolation
