Religion:- Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. Catholics drink on the front porch, baptists drink on the back porch. We believe life begins at conception,” says the panel’s Catholic priest. “We believe life begins at birth,” says the liberal Protestant. “We believe that life begins when the kids are out of the house and the dog dies,” says the rabbi.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. The whole aim of modern politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. And it makes it even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post flying memes here, but.... for all those doubting Thomas's....

Deleted. Sorry, for some mysterious reason it double posted.

What, Whisky? No, but I do turn it. ... BTW, remember - don't eat the yellow snow.

Meanwhile, back to silly signs, here is one I saw today....

I just had a quote of $7k for a 16Kwh BYD battery. Of course scaling it up to 400Kwh won't be a linear extrapolation. In reality, your guess is about the same as my guess. What do you need 400Kwh for?

Of course it would need a lot of cheap glitz to make it better.

They seem to have copied WINDY.COM for their wind map. I like WINDY for an overview and forecast. The map shows present wind at weather stations, isobars and fronts. For rain radar, I have a link that takes me straight to BOM radar at my nearest radar.

See! Living proof of what unrestricted undocumented immigration does to the country!

Probably, but would anyone expect any less? Sadly, Albo failed to fully support Australian sovereign interests - but I figured no Australian politician would have the courage to tell Trump that we no longer see USA as a truly friendly ally. The whole AUKUS is a waste of OUR money. Should be cancelled.

The link gives a insight into how the new US legal framework is operating. Particularly the Letitia James prosecution. It's a long read but it raises questions that (I think) should be open to public scrutiny. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna--lindsey-halligan-here

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread...nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” - Isaac Asimov

SCOOTERS? Good? In the same sentence? Is there any such thing?

Random thought.... "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. -Albert Einstein" Who would have thought that he was actually a violinist?

Happy birthay, Peter. Every one is a landmark!

Here's one that was all too subtle for him....

Who should pay for kangaroo damage?

Solve the kangaroo problem..... send them to america!

Waiting for a barge to take us across the river.... Then we had to read all the signs..... The important information was the faded marker pen writing on the grey packing tape at the bottom

A real sign that I saw yesterday in Tasmania

Let's not rush in to that. At least wait and see how the planned culling works out in USA. -
When we talk about "What has Trump done now", we focus on his latest rant or outrageous brainfart. However, this prevents us seeing the bigger picture. The link below looks at tRumps recent address to HIS entire military forces. https://theconversation.com/trumps-tragedy-the-us-becomes-an-autocracy-and-the-presidency-a-dictatorship-266675
