I mean, I do like Albo. He is a very decent man.

Sheridan.

This is why I call him the dribbler.

Here’s a fundamental truth, there is nothing decent about the grub from Grayndler

Sebastian Gorba telling a personal tale about Trump.

@MikeBenzCyber

this story is legendary

there is so much hidden Trump lore of what he does outside the cameras

for all the talk about Trump doing things for fame what people dont see is all the things he does **not** for fame, just personally for people he’s never met before

What makes a person decent?
Is decency only judged by what we do when we know we are being observed?
Is humility a prerequisite for decency, in terms of acknowledging one’s mistakes and inadequacies?

Was it decent during the covidiocy to force people to die alone?
Yes, I am a dog with a bone, but there are very few in Australian public life I would bite, for fear of what I would be infected with.

Yes Dover, the fact check puts the nearest house 160 metres away, the Iranian Hezbollah Pride park with an effigy of Soleimani pointing at Israel was in a commanding position overlooking the border, the IDF went up there and bulldozed it all in the last couple of days so it definitely isn’t an humiliation for the human sacrifice death cult.

That’s a superb story of former POTUS Trump that Indolent has linked to at 9:41 p.m. It’s worth spending 2.5 minutes of your time listening to it.

This evening found my son and I at a pub in a mid size Central West NSW town.
The generous lad agreed to drive the escort vehicle for me as I “walk” the harvester up to Walgett.

Young woman behind the bar was Israeli and absolutely gorgeous. Same age as my son and as she had done her military service, they had a bit in common, he getting out of the Army at the start of this year.

Long story short, she’s utterly dismayed at how reporting on the conflict is happening over here with there being hardly any mention of the remaining hostages. “It’s all everyone in Israel cares about”

Hard to describe it but she had a slight gloomy look on her beautiful face.
I made sure she knew she was talking to someone who knew a bit more than the average person about it all and the contempt I have for the political class and media of this country.
She seemed relieved to know this. It didn’t really cheer her up but you could see her relax a bit.
Overheard her saying she would be fasting for Yom Kippur as well.

Id rather like to think I’ve just met a future daughter in law. 😀

The Feminisation Of Entertainment

Video Summary### Summary: The video “The Feminisation Of Entertainment” by Thinking-Ape discusses the significant shift in the entertainment industry over the past few decades, particularly in film and gaming. The speaker observes that the original masculine-driven action films, like *Predator* (1987), have largely been replaced by content featuring female leads and themes. This shift is attributed to the increasing presence of women in decision-making roles within the industry, leading to changes in character design, storytelling, and overall production focus. The speaker critiques this change, arguing that it has resulted in a decline in the quality of entertainment that appeals to men, alongside the rise of narratives and characters not aligned with traditional male interests. — ### Key Points: 1. **Comparison of Past and Present:** – Nostalgia for 1980s action-packed masculine films (e.g., *Predator*). – Current scarcity of similarly styled films, with few exceptions like *John Wick*. 2. **Observation of Feminization:** – There’s a perceived “feminization” of entertainment across films, TV, and games. – Increased portrayal of strong female characters in roles traditionally occupied by men. 3. **Difference Between Genders:** – Acknowledgment of inherent differences in interests and perspectives between men and women. – These differences are often deemed controversial in modern discussions. 4. **Impact of Women in the Workforce:** – A significant influx of women in Hollywood and the gaming industry has shifted decision-making dynamics. – Women in HR may lack relevant industry knowledge, affecting hiring and creative decisions. 5. **Alteration of Character Aesthetics:** – The representation of female characters has changed, with an emphasis on less traditionally attractive designs. – Male characters typically remain appealing; this is attributed to a competitive dynamic among women. 6. **Ideological Influences:** – Notable ideological shifts significantly influence content decisions, illustrated by examples like *Battlefield* (inclusion of female soldiers in WWII). – Male voices in the industry feel marginalized in this evolving atmosphere. 7. **Cultural Responses:** – The speaker contends that there’s a pushback against male-centered interests in entertainment. – The narrative that men are not allowed to enjoy media tailored to their preferences. 8. **Hope for Future Change:** – Speculation that industry greed will eventually drive a return to more diverse and appealing content for male audiences. – Acknowledgment that this change might take many years to materialize
