I have a vague memory from at least 50myears ago, of a film in which a new artificial sweetener with a name like that used a racehorse with the same name as an advertising mechanism. Can’t recall all the details.

Sorta the other way around apparently.
He was serving a sentence in Home Detention with an ankle bracelet, & had a special dispensation to leave the home for employment on that building site.
Pre-Ardern he’d have been in jail – however her “we-shouldn’t-be-rough-on-the-wayward” policies had changed the law so he’d be in home detention instead.
He was serving a sentence for charges of impeding breathing, injuring with intent to injure, wilful damage, and male assaults female.
Apparently he was not considered a “risk” as those charges & all his priors, were for family violence only.

The aspartame thing was a total beat-up.
The WHO ranks stuff as follows:-
1. Known carcinogens (smokes etc).
2. Probable carcinogens (creosote, hair colouring products, bitumen, red meat and 1,000s of other things)
3. Possible carcinogens (everything else including aspartame).
Aspartame is in hundreds of foods, but which one was singled out in news reports?
Coca Cola sugar-free drinks.
So not hard to see the agenda.
In fact, I’m pretty sure some of the products depicted didn’t even contain aspartame.

Haha Ed, I don’t even especially like saccharine. The aftertaste isn’t to my um, taste. But I’ve consumed heaps of it, and heaps of PFAS, and heaps of TiO2 nanoparticles over the last forty or so years so I’m probably going to die horribly eventually.
Chemical health and safety is a field so far beyond the ken of ordinary people that the elites can easily get away with this hysterical propaganda. But it doesn’t work on me since it’s been part of my profession for a long long time.
Add in the Covid crap and the climate howling and you might just see a common thread going on.

I have no idea of the veracity of the video on Michael Smith concerning GEN Campbell’s DSC.
But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Any exposure of the destructive self interest of the puritanical clique of careerists who seized control of the ADF 20+ years ago can only be positive.
The old cry used to be that things would improve if only then uniformed branch became ascendant in Defence.
Well, that worked well. The PS capitalised upon their extreme ambition by offering obscene salaries and unchecked power so long as they were compliant.
Hence, The Defence People Group, HRC oversight, disgusting assaults upon warriors who were sent into incredibly complex combat situations with NO effective ADF leadership or support. Cocks in frocks and on it goes.
All power to the misused and abused soldiers who are fighting back.
What is so horrific is that it makes sense, this is how tyrants and dictators think.

My team! I’ll watch with interest CJ.
In the absence of war the higher ranks become populated by individuals who are politically astute and know how to grease the wheels for their advancement. How about we insist that before someone becomes a lieutenant they must spend 2 years in a mercenary group like Wagner and every month drag a body into the Defense Department as proof they are killing people? Medals are only awarded on the basis of the ranks of the killed. Me riffing on a joke in the movie “In the Loop.”
Reports are mixed, & confusing.
When we’re stuck with what can be gleaned from news reports, we’re relying upon the nous of the current generation of reporters.

Then again, it may be poor wording by modern standard reporters.
Either way, he’d have known enough about his (apparently) strict parole officers to know that without the job his roaming was going to end.

I spend a lot of time wondering if I could have saved her somehow and loathing myself for not making the most of the time I had left with my beautiful little girl. I miss you so much, Trista.

How to rewrite history: deny you have huge stalking form on Catallaxy. When you do. As anyone whose been here for a while, if they are honest, would know.
Feck off, angry stalker. Still stalking, aren’t you stalker? Just doing it quietly right now, pretending to be the soul of reason. Till the old ire mounts again.
Stalkers. Just. Can’t. Ever. Let. Up.
Valid conclusion; nothing to indicate anything else. And yes, it most definitely will be milked! Until it bleats!
Can someone please explain the difference between stalkers and lurkers?
Anyway, I’m packed and ready to go. Hairy is not, because although he said he would pack tonight, he’ll slowly throw a few things in a suitcase in the morning and we’ll be late getting a cab, and ’tis not my place to agitate about that. Somehow, we always manage to get there. I am talking clothes for colder highlands and clothes for hot lowlands. Seems to fill a suitcase even though I said I’d pack light.
We watched Rita and then James tonight. We’re bad, but politics in America is even worse. I am taking some books to read for light entertainment, you know, those things made of paper that you can hold in your hand and create the audio and video for yourself.

The Stalker once expressed a stated aim of ‘driving me off’ the blog. I’ve never wanted to remove anyone and what blogs I fund are my own business not the stalker’s. On those occasions when I’ve become totally fed up and left the blog for a break, the stalker has come in ‘dusting’ her hands with crowing self-promotion about her ‘cleverness’.
Stalkers gotta stalk and crow. Attention-seeking. It’s what they do. It is foolish and unnecessary on this blog.
So, enough now of stalkers. Miracles may happen. The stalker might lay off stalking. And all the uptickers, if they are real, can remove the nose-rings by which they are led.
A breakthrough.

I blog here not to be nasty to or about others. I enjoy writing for its own sake, no matter what the subject, and I enjoy the companionship of some lively minds. On the dueling thread the stalker is still on record calling me a ‘whore’. Not even prefaced with the ‘attention’ rubric.

Lurker – someone who reads or scrolls but does not comment or comments very rarely. Not particularly hostile in my opinion, though. They might go so far as to “approve” an opinion or an argument via an up tick. Those up ticks might make some uncomfortable, I confess they’ve had that effect on me until I got a grip (thank you sensible Cats).
Stalker – someone who deliberately goes out of their way to comment negatively on basically every contribution a commenter makes. Here’s one. It can be puerile as spelling or grammar corrections or as rancid as outright abuse, the “you are a ….” type.
Then there is the next level. They want to doxx because they imagine they know who you are and leave little identifying crumbs here and there for shits and giggles. The idea is to wrong foot the commenter and work as a thinly veiled threat. If you respond, they know they’ve got you.
They typify the rock bottom nature of some people on the internet.

Five years basically, for murder:
A mum-of-two has been sentenced to eight years in prison for fatally stabbing her partner in the heart during a drunken fight.
Yvonne Lulda, 37, faced the Supreme Court on Friday after pleading guilty to reckless manslaughter for the death of the 26-year-old man at the pair’s shared unit in Gray last year.
Justice Sonia Brownhill said the “gravely serious” crime was another example of “drunk, violent offending against a domestic partner that happens far too much”.
Lulda and the victim met at a residential rehab facility in June last year where she had been paroled after stabbing a previous partner with a pair of scissors, cutting his artery.
On July 7, a week after prematurely leaving the rehab program, Lulda started drinking with the 26-year-old and a group of friends.
Throughout the afternoon Lulda became angry with the 26-year-old and punched him a couple of times in the face before they went back to being “good to each other and kissing”.
By 6pm the pair were alone in the unit when during an argument Lulda picked up a 13cm kitchen knife and stabbed the man 10cm to 12cm deep in the chest, piercing his heart.
A neighbour who witnessed the attack and called triple-0 saw the man stagger backwards and collapse to the ground, with Lulda cradling him on the ground for several minutes.
Emergency services were unable to revive the man and he was pronounced dead at 8.46pm.
Lulda had left the scene and was found sitting on a kerb opposite the unit block with blood on her hands, initially denying her involvement in the stabbing.
“The offending comes from your extremely reckless decision made in anger,” Justice Brownhill said.
“He wasn’t armed and there is no evidence that he was threatening you in any way.”
Justice Brownhill said Lulda should have been “well aware” of the risk of bladed weapons given her previous conviction for the scissor stabbing.
A victim impact statement from the father of the 26-year-old remembered him as “a good young man” who was skilled at hunting and fishing.
“The victim was a much loved family member and his family is still grieving and miss him very much,” Justice Brownhill said.
Lulda was raised in Timber Creek and had struggled with alcohol abuse for decades after a difficult childhood, the court heard.
She had a long history as a domestic violence victim which included a brutal attack in 2016 while pregnant that left her blind in one eye.
She was given a non-parole period of five years.
NT News
Yeah, no red flags there at all.
That psycho should be imprisoned for life or committed to a mental institution.
Or, strand her alone with a kitchen knife on an island heavily infested by zombies and well covered by CCTV cameras. Stream the videos via a monetized u-tube channel so that society can recoup some of the costs of her existence while she gets to act out all her fantasies with knives. It’s a fiscally responsible win-win.
