Were you hungry afterwards?

Everything he touches turns to shit. Truth, the White house, the reflecting pool, the Kennedy Center, the Supreme Court, Venezuela, Iran, the economy, our economy, the environment, science, medicine, education, democracy... To paraphrase Winston Churchill - "Never in the history of mankind has so much been fucked up by one useless prick."

Was it Bonaparte who said "never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake"? I agree - every word coming out of the orange wanker's mouth should drive anyone with half a brain to vote for whoever isn't him.

Are people still trying to apply logic to Trump's verbal diarrhoea?

Australia: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (and the Meh?)

Why do those innocent words have overtones of rubber gloves? -
I like the comments almost as much as the article.

Quote from a novel I just read. "Wisdom may simply be the reduction in the amount of time it takes you to realise you know nothing."

Depends on the brand of bread, the loaf length, the slice width etc. For supermarket bread, loaves would be funneled into a multi-blade slicer. Bakery bread is usually hand-fed into the slicer so it's a bit variable whether the end crusts will be the same width as the others. You could always have a bonus slice once a loaf, or give it to the chooks.

Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence

That's where the line of responsibility becomes blurry. If the design team that created an AI agent made all reasonable efforts to guardrail that agent, but it escapes and acts in unexpected (and illegal) ways, who has liability? Personally I think the board of the tech company who funded the design should be held accountable, with the same criminal charges that a human hacker would face. -
I disagree with Andrew Hastie on just about everything, but he's dead right when he calls Hanson a coward. She is a disgusting individual and has truly pulled the wool over her sheepish follower's eyes.

Rode into Hobart this morning to check out the vintage motorbike show in Princes Wharf #1. ( @nomadpete- on til 4pm if you want to see it, $5 entry, free parking for bikes on the forecourt). Heaps of lovely old bikes including a 1951 Vincent Black Lightning in original condition which apparently went for $1.3m at auction.

I like how it only goes to 99,999 miles. Did they not expect cars to do more than 100,000 back then?

We should. At the moment they are the last remaining democracies. Plus, "Aukeur" sounds much more refined than "Aukus"

The climate change debate continues.

The owners are complaining about the "strict" rules around when they can fire up and use their 200-odd diesel generators. Subtext - although they're describing them as "emergency backup", they want to run them as part of normal operation. -
Just when you think he can't get any scummier. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-18/donald-trump-kennedy-center-demolition-plan-photo/107167248 Short story is - he's pissed off that he can't have his name on the Kennedy Center, so now he wants to tear it down. What a c***.
