Very few comedians are actually that.
They fall into two groups:
Toilet humour – point at or make a joke about a toilet – laughter.
Sweary humour – every second word is “F*CK – edgy laughter.
No longer funny, just boring.

I recall seeing Billy Connelly at Subiaco (Regal?) many years ago. He’s relating the story about the previous night laying in bed trying to think about tonights show and how the couple in the next room were going for it for hours. Fer f*cks sake, just finish. The little old ladies are falling over themselves sitting down, never hearing so many f*cks in one story. Billy has the ability to remove the crudeness, this in contrast with Bill Bailey who doesn’t swear at all. Both are the finest stand up comedians.

His ability to keep five or six stories going, interrupted by the occasional song, one-liner and banter was something to experience. In a “season” of five or six shows in the same week at the same venue, no two shows were the same, in “sequence”. or even material.

Often the “tales” between the “zingers”, were from what he was out doing BETWEEN shows. His “World Tours” series is notable for that feature. When he was in Brisbane, on that tour, he headed off on the Harley Trike, TV crew in tow, to various spots around South East Queensland.. Very funny but VERY professional.

Isn’t it true that philosophers who haven’t kept themselves updated with developments in neuroscience continue to believe in existence of mind as an entity?

Yes, many philosophers who have not engaged with contemporary neuroscience might maintain traditional or dualistic views of the mind as an independent, non-physical entity. This perspective, often associated with Cartesian dualism, posits that the mind and body are fundamentally distinct.

However, developments in neuroscience challenge this view by increasingly demonstrating that mental processes correlate with and depend on brain activity. These findings have led to the growing influence of physicalist and materialist perspectives, which argue that the mind arises from and is inseparable from the physical brain.

You can survive in farming but luck also helps.

——————

Tarndwarncoort is one of Victoriaโ€™s oldest surviving homesteads + the continuation of one of Australiaโ€™s oldest family sheep farms.

Tarndie (or more respectfully, Tarndwarncoort) is based in South Western Victoria, Australia and has been owned and operated by the Dennis family since 1840.
The property is home to Australiaโ€™s first breed of sheep, the Polwarth sheep and its listed buildings reflect the Cornish heritage of the pioneer family.

The Polwarth County was typified by grassy plains, lakes, creeks, swamps, and ancient volcanic soils. These natural attributes, when matched with the graziers resolve to continually improve their farms and sheep, provided the impetus to breed a type of sheep to suit this environment.
The Polwarth Sheep was the result.

The family links to Tarndwarncoort started with Emma and Alexander Dennis when they left their shrinking family farm in Cornwall, UK in 1839. It was on the advice of Emmaโ€™s ship captain brother that new farmlands were discovered in โ€œAustralia Felixโ€.

They landed 615 Merino sheep at Point Henry in Geelong and found a suitable run at Tarndwarncoort by 1840. Here they began a dynasty of innovative farming that has seen boom and bust over 7 generations.
Polwarth Sheep are naturally white; however, Tarndie has a specialised flock of black and coloured sheep in unique and sought-after shades.

The members of the first original flock still grow at Tarndwarncoort, and their wool is treasured by crafters all over the world.

The Defenestration of Prague: How Three Men Falling Sparked Europe’s Deadliest War

On a warm May morning in 1618, three men took an unexpected flight from a window of Prague Castle. Their 70-foot plunge into history would ignite a conflict that would ravage Europe for the next three decades.

The stage was set in Bohemia, modern-day Czech Republic. Protestant nobles were seething. The Catholic Emperor Matthias had broken his promise of religious freedom. Something had to give.
That something was the patience of Count Thurn and his fellow Protestant lords. They stormed into the Bohemian Chancellery, grabbed two Catholic regents and their secretary, and unceremoniously chucked them out the window.

Now, you might think a fall from such a height would be fatal. But our three unwilling aeronauts had a stroke of luck โ€“ or divine intervention, depending on who you ask. They landed in a pile of manure. Stinky? Yes. Lifesaving?

Absolutely.

Catholics cried miracle, claiming angels had cushioned the fall. Protestants scoffed, crediting good old-fashioned horse droppings. Either way, the men survived.

But while they lived, peace died that day. The “Defenestration of Prague” (that’s fancy talk for “tossing folks out windows”) lit the fuse of the Thirty Years’ War. This conflict would redraw Europe’s religious and political map, leaving millions dead in its wake.

It wasn’t the first time Prague had seen such window-based political statements. A similar incident in 1419 had kicked off the Hussite Wars. But this one?
This one would change the course of European history.

Andrew Bolt:

Anthony Albanese still canโ€™t see how heโ€™s helped to unleash a catastrophe โ€“ anti-Jewish terrorism in our country.

No wonder the Prime Minister, under intense pressure, seized on the theory floated by Australian Federal Police commissioner Reece Kershaw that โ€œoverseas actorsโ€ were whipping it up.

โ€œIt is important that people understand where some of these attacks are coming from,โ€ Albanese said on Wednesday.

โ€œIt would appear, as the AFP commissioner said on Tuesday, that some of these are being perpetrated by people who donโ€™t have a particular issue, arenโ€™t motivated by an ideology, but are paid actors.

โ€œItโ€™s unclear who or where the payments are coming from.โ€

How glad Albanese must be for anything which might suggest our nationโ€™s Jew hatred has nothing to do with his anti-Israel rabble-rousing-inciting scum.

How politically useful if he can claim that the people terrifying Jews and firebombing synagogues, cars and even childcare centres โ€œarenโ€™t motivated by an ideologyโ€ like Islam, but are just paid by foreigners.

For operational reasons, Kershaw isnโ€™t saying what information heโ€™s got to back up his suggestion that โ€œlocal criminalsโ€ may be paid by foreign players in cryptocurrency to attack Jewish targets here, but itโ€™s not hard to guess who he seems to be talking about.

The opposition speculates it could be Iran, but I doubt the Iran embassy knows how to safely contact and pay local criminals to torch things.

But there are organisations which certainly do, already burning down scores of buildings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

Middle Eastern crime gangs, especially from Victoria, are fighting over the illegal tobacco trade in a war thatโ€™s so far had about 200 shops set on fire, including 131 in Victoria and 14 in Sydney.

Many senior gang figures now live overseas, almost always in Muslim countries.

Itโ€™s a guess why they might now be burning Jewish targets. To pose as Muslim heroes? Please protectors overseas?

Or have they been recruited by some country to create havoc here?

In fact, Britainโ€™s MI5 last year said Iran had used international drug traffickers and even low-level crooks for 20 plots targeting people in Britain.

Investigators in Germany and France last September said Iranian agents used European drug traffickers to spy on Jews in France and Germany.

But there are organisations which certainly do, already burning down scores of buildings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

Middle Eastern crime gangs, especially from Victoria, are fighting over the illegal tobacco trade in a war thatโ€™s so far had about 200 shops set on fire, including 131 in Victoria and 14 in Sydney.

Many senior gang figures now live overseas, almost always in Muslim countries.

Itโ€™s a guess why they might now be burning Jewish targets. To pose as Muslim heroes? Please protectors overseas?

Like I said, Kershaw wonโ€™t comment, but however glad Albanese of this theory, heโ€™s a fool if he thinks it saves him.

โ€œOverseas actorsโ€ havenโ€™t bashed Jews in our streets, screamed abuse at Jews outside synagogues, chanted โ€œwhereโ€™s the Jewsโ€ outside the Sydney Opera House, preached Jew hatred in mosques, menaced Jewish students at universities, abused Jewish artists at performances and in a thousand different ways made Jews feel persecuted like never before in this country.

Even these โ€œoverseas actorsโ€ burning synagogues may well be Australians.

And now Albanese doesnโ€™t understand how heโ€™s making it all worse.

He should have known 15 months ago, on the day Hamas slaughtered 1200 Jews, that weโ€™re in a war to defend Western civilisation.

Thatโ€™s clear just from the protesters NSW police have arrested since that October 7 massacre โ€“ almost always Muslims, or Marxists or assorted haters of Australia, Israel and the West.

Theyโ€™ve arrested 180 of them, 40 for specifically anti-Jewish offences. Jews or supporters of Israel donโ€™t break laws and get arrested in those numbers.

But Albanese wouldnโ€™t see it. Seemingly greedy for votes of Muslims and the hard Left, he betrayed Israel in the United Nations. He urged Israel to stop fighting for its survival. He gave tourism visas to 3000 Palestinians from Gaza.

He kept legitimising the Jew haters by attacking Israel, and now can only tut-tut about how they express that hatred.

He wonโ€™t even call out the trick Jew haters use to pretend theyโ€™re not really racists.

They say, no, they donโ€™t hate Jews. They just hate Zionists โ€“ supporters of Israel, home of half the worldโ€™s Jews.

They then shamelessly repeat all the ancient Jew-hating smears, just substituting โ€œJewsโ€ for โ€œZionistsโ€. Zionists control the world. Zionists control the media. Zionists love blood. Zionists murder babies.

What a failure Albanese has been.

Since Albanese is quoting the AFP, hereโ€™s former AFP Detective Superintendent David Craig, who summed up bluntly this week.

โ€œIโ€™ve served under six different PMs in the AFP, a lot of my time in counter terrorism, Iโ€™ve never seen such a spineless response to hatred and un-Australian behaviour by a PM.โ€

With voice wavering and lip quivering, you can see it’s all becoming a bit much for Albo. The latest garbage about foreign actors is just that. Complete arrogance to suggest Australians will swallow it.
Is it too much to dream that he will lose his seat in the upcoming election?

Of course he can. It’s deliberate – one of Communisms main strategies for fomenting yet another crisis is to divide a nation into political groups. And that’s precisely what this pile of shit is doing – creating a Nation of Tribes so he can set them against each other.

‘Two-tier’ Keir ‘GASLIGHTS’ Britain after ‘HIDING’ truth about Southport: ‘He CAN’T be trusted!’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0MvQ0EwGLI
From the coments:

Starmer had ALREADY JUDGED the rioters and influenced the judged BEFORE they went to court. Not only did he brand them “FAR RIGHT THUGS” but he also said they should have the highest penalties. A straught directive from No 10 Downing street to the sitting Magistrates.

If that isn’t jeopardising a trial when the Prime Minister categorises the accused AND dictates “severest sentences” then I don’t know where we are.

One man so convicted killed himself in Prison directly as a result of Starmer’s interference in the justice system. .His crime was making some statements which are supposed to be allowed under “Free speech” law.

And when the Ministry of Truth says “Fact check: TRUE”, will the court say “Yes sir”, or will they stand up for themselves and say “Wrong: it is the court that decides matters of fact and law, and we also decide on what is the appropriate penalty.”

ONE LAST GROPE: Joe Biden Gets Handsy with Melania Trump at Inaugural โ€“ And, of course, This Was Ignored by Fake News Media

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/one-last-grope-joe-biden-gets-handsy-melania/

During the Inaugural ceremonies on Monday, Joe Biden got a little handsy with First Lady Melania Trump. He canโ€™t help it. Heโ€™s been groping women and children his entire adult life.

Old Joe reached over and grabbed Melaniaโ€™s waste with hand and then moved over next to her body. Jill was standing right next to him.

Melania should have given him a damn good slap across the face – very symbolic. And painful.

โ€œPolice said a 28-year-old man from Afghanistan was arrested close to the crime scene, without speculating on a potential motive. The attack took place in Schรถntal Park, an English-style garden, in the center of the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg at 11.45am local time (10.45am GMT).

The suspect reportedly followed two teachers and five children who had stepped out of their daycare center for a stroll in the nearby park.โ€

Just watched an ash blonde from Pommy Sky fact checking Trump. Everything old is new again.

Snittily telling us itโ€™s going to be another four years of โ€œgovernment by Truth Socialโ€. Bzzzzzt. Didnโ€™t exist until he was dumped from Twotter years ago.

She took particular exception to his comment โ€œsheโ€™s not very good at her jobโ€ re the priestess. So now sheโ€™s a dodgy theologian as well as a dodgy historian.

I happen to agree with Trump. Her job is to shepherd the flock and preach the Gospel. She had an opportunity to do that and she squibbed it, settling instead for a diatribe on social justice. She swapped out the delightful, invigorating words of life for a grumble that any old activist could have delivered.

Apparently Trump has sent a message to Putin as a preliminary to a โ€œdealโ€ to end the war. He mentioned some punitive measures that could possibly be applied. Apparently the US doesnโ€™t import much from Russia so that wonโ€™t work. The point that Mz. Negotiator missed is the will to start the wheels of peace rolling.

Weโ€™re only a couple of days in and the commentariat are already dripping hatred.

UK PM Blob Johnson had a party during lockdown, tried to hide it, was caught out and the mainstream MSM and left went for his jugular and forced him to step down in 2022.

Current UK PM, adulterer Fuhrer Sturmer (and all round Saville fan) is intimately involved in the cover up of a shocking crime where three little girls were hacked to death by a Welsh Christian choir boy who also, at the same time, attempted to hack to death eight other little girls and two adults. The MSM and the left? Silence. They run cover for their man and party, they donโ€™t even try to hide their partisan spruiking!

Blob Johnson was and is a hypocrite of the first order, a nauseating individual who squandered an electoral opportunity that is likely never to come the way of the Conservative party again. I loathe the man but I just canโ€™t help notice the different โ€˜standardsโ€™ applied to Johnson v Creepy Sturmer.

The MSM must be destroyed completely.

Boris was the one who made sure that the leave campaign won the Brexit vote. he also got brexit through when all the others had failed. Two great achievements, which went along with his brilliant stint as mayor of London merit a place in the history books.

President Trump Takes First Step to Overturn Joe Bidenโ€™s Abortion Agenda
Among its first acts in office, the Trump-Vance administration closed a federal government website opened by the Biden administration to promote abortion-on-demand at taxpayersโ€™ expense. Users noted the website ReproductiveRights.gov had gone offline on Monday afternoon, shortly after Chief Justice John Roberts swore in Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States.
โ€œReproductive health care, including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion care, is an essential part of your health and well-being,โ€ the moribund website claimed. It also erroneously insisted the abortion pill, mifepristone, โ€œis safe and effective when used as directed,โ€ although mifepristone produced 35 emergency room visits for every 100 abortions in 2015.

Grain markets are grossly undervalued and this is bad news for future food prices.
Producers are currently wearing the massive cost blowouts in energy pricing as governments try to manipulate the retail sector into price control.
In 1983 wheat was valued at $10 a bag, thatโ€™s $120 a tonne. Today it is $314 at site in our area. In 1983 you could get a Holden one tonner for $6,500 as compared with $50-60,000 today. Somethings got to give as most farms are surviving off the equity created by the boom in land prices over the last decade.
We can only imagine the effects of the subsidised renewable sector on production as they compete for land for mines, quarries and electrical infrastructure.
Government intervention is worse than any bushfire, flood or drought.

Because as far as I can see, there are only 3 ways there could be systemic racism:
1) there are laws that are racist. In fact there are, but these ALL advantage aboriginals over all others;
2) rules, rulings, and regulations. Again, racists ones exist, but they ALL advantage aboriginals over others;
3) social advantage. There is NONE for racism against aboriginals, only social advantage for racism IN FAVOUR of aboriginals.
So the ONLY “systemic racism” I see, is for the BENEFIT of aboriginals.

NASA Will Remember Its Fallen Heroes on January 23 (22 Jan)

The Apollo 1 fire on the launchpad at Kennedy Space Center, which claimed the lives of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee and threatened to derail the Apollo program before it got off the ground, took place on Jan. 27, 1967.

The space shuttle Challenger exploded just over a minute after launch on Jan. 28, 1986, claiming the lives of all seven crew members on board. That mission commanded a lot of attention because it included the first โ€œteacher in space,โ€ Christa McAuliffe. Finally, the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on reentry on Feb. 1, 2003, and all seven crew members lost their lives.

Space is hard. And you’d have to say that manned space missions on those five days from 27 Jan and 1 Feb are jinxed. The amazing thing is despite a very dangerous profession we haven’t had any fatalities since 2003, even though two NASA astronauts are still stuck in space after their capsule failed. Elon is due to give them ride home in March.

Chlamydia Thorpe has been ranting again.
Dutton has sent a spray her way.
It is good to see SFL’s get dirty, however, the smartest thing to do would be, every time Chlamydia rears her ugly head, the Libs should simply run, on a loop, the footage of her crawling on her knees.

Watch what happened when Ezra and I spotted Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, on the street in Davos today. We finally asked him all the questions the mainstream media refuses to ask!

From the Daily Telegraph…

Lidia Thorpe โ€œshouldnโ€™t be in the Senateโ€, Peter Dutton says, after the independent accused him of being โ€œracistโ€ and โ€œviolentโ€.

Senator Thorpe made the remarks in an appearance on a podcast earlier this week.

โ€œDutton is a racist. Dutton is a violent person,โ€ she said, responding to a question about the Opposition Leaderโ€™s โ€œTrumpian tacticsโ€.

โ€œDutton used to be a Queensland police officer who caused damage to a lot of blackfellas on the street, you know, wheeling his power around the streets.โ€

Mr Dutton on Thursday said the remarks were โ€œabsurdโ€.

โ€œObviously, just absurd statements, but sheโ€™s a publicity seeker,โ€ he told Sydney-based 2GB.

โ€œShe shouldnโ€™t be in the Senate. Sheโ€™s not stable enough to be a member of the Australian parliament, and I think people recognise that through her actions and her model is to attract the attention of the lunatic left, and she does that.โ€

I believe Peter Dutton should take legal action against Thorpe. Peter Dutton is not a racist. These endless adolescent smears and lies from the left can no longer go unchallenged. You cannot go around calling people ‘racists’ or ‘Nazis’ or ‘violent’ without incurring consequences, just ask John Pesutto. Moira Deeming was 100% right to pursue Pesutto for that ‘Nazi’ smear and Peter Dutton must now pursue Thorpe and demand an apology.

This goes to the heart of what I’ve often said on these pages, that for too long the right have ignored the defamatory smears and lies of the left. This must stop.

But killing little girls, children or even innocent adults?

Makes no sense to me.

They’ve been told, by the people they trust, that these children are a danger to them and will grow up to be a danger to their Cult. So kill them they will, AND they will feel virtuous about it as well.
It must be a huge dopamine rush for these people. And don’t forget the paedophilic aspect of the slaughter – why little girls?
I bet these Jihadis doing this sort of thrillkilling would be tumescent.

Cats, we must hang our heads in shame, sackcloth and ashes, flagellating our backs at the doors of the hay truck stop.

I have an eyewitness account, from a properly constituted truckie of an unspeakable event we derided poor St Ruth for.

He claims a number of Indian truck drivers are squatting on the dolly behind the cab at truck stops and letting fly with last weeks vindaloo.
Rather than walking off into the scrub with a dunny roll and a picture magazine like the proper Aussies do.

If the SFL’S had any sense, they’d pay attention to the Cat. We provide free analysis on everything they do, yet how much attention is paid to the disaffected, disillusioned and generally pissed off with their direction and more importantly what to do about it coz from my perspective they haven’t a clue. Which is why they’re in the situation they find themselves.

Queensland’s spending is tracking toward a major blowout. The state will reportedly rack up $217 billion in debt by 2028.

Queensland government workers have been instructed to turn off their computers and avoid using lifts as the state faces threats of a mass blackout amid an extreme heatwave surge.

And please please please shut off the aircon to all government offices all day so the public serpents get to suffer the results of their mad green ideology.

Auschwitz Museum confirms Penny Wong will lead Australiaโ€™s delegation to commemoration (Sky News, 23 Jan)

Sky News can reveal Labor Senator Sue Lines who was picked to lead a delegation to Auschwitz, despite past criticisms of Israel, was dumped from the role in early January.

On January 3, Foreign Minister Penny Wong was confirmed to be attending the event, making her the most senior representative and the automatic head of the delegation.

We see you, Albo. Insulting Israel on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz is despicable.

The Mail has a piece, with photos, about the WA home invasion where the invader ended up dead. The home owner was not charged, rightly so.
Reading the piece, I reckon the dumb scrote ended being stabbed with his own machete.
Police only state that there was a struggle during which the scrote was fatally injured. Not one word about whether the home owner was able to grab something to use as a weapon, not one word about what actually caused the scrote’s injuries.

The proud Rorter Rorter mother of the scrote is mouthing the usual “we won’t rest until there is justice for poor, insert name here”.

What say you, fellow Cats?
I am very curious to know if you think I may be on the right track.

Heads up to the Cat who bequeathed us the “Rorter”, line. Thank you very much. ๐Ÿ˜€

The particular street is a cul de sac with mid range housing, with a lot of mine workers in the area. If the scrote entered a home intending to cause havoc, he succeeded.
Link to article in Perth Now is here.
The mother is quoting worksafe ideas that everyone who goes to work should return home safe at the end of the day. If your “work” involves home invasions then perhaps it is time to choose another career as un-aliving is a significant risk in the home invasion business.

Thanks CK.
I originally thought it maybe something like that. Although I still reckon the moron literally “fell on his sword”.

If it had been the bat, I believe the cops would have charged him automatically.

National Indigenous Times, on the death of TYrone Smith.

Advocate Gerry Georgatos said systemic neglect, including a lack of post-custody support for people trying to re-integrate into society, has left young people like Mr Smith vulnerable.
“We are losing lives because deaths in custody and post-custody deaths have become a pattern,” Mr Georgatos said.
“There’s no post-custody assistance. If we’re not going to support these kids, we’re leaving them behind. Children today are being born with less opportunity than ever before.
“Tyrone should still be with us.”

Mr Georgatos highlighted broader systemic issues he says contributed to Mr Smith’s death, including the poverty and neglect that disproportionately impact First Nations communities.
“Sixty percent of First Nations people in this state live below the poverty line, and in some regions, it’s three out of four,” he said.
The family is calling for a thorough investigation into the events leading Mr Smith’s death.
“We need the truth,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
“Why did this happen? Was there excessive force?”
Mr Georgatos echoed the call for transparency, urging authorities to provide answers promptly.
“These questions need to be answered, and they need to be answered as fast as possible in every way permissible with the family,” he said.
