No, seriously, why? I try to think of one man who actually helped in my life, who had a net positive influence instead of a negative one, and I get, umm, lessee... gimme a minute... umm...

That’s not what happened. What happened was that in the wake of the worst mass shooting in fifty years, the leader of the country took the initiative and pushed through gun restrictions and a buyback scheme before the shock wore off and the rednecks pushed back. It took balls and it took a leader fully in control of…

There is no endgame, and there doesn’t have to be one. They’ll all get snatched up to Heaven in the Rapture, leaving us sinners behind to suffer under the Antichrist and fight in the final battle at Armageddon. (Or they’re narcissists who don’t really believe anything will exist after they die, so who cares what…

Ah, so it’s less about people having ID, and more about people having ID that satisfies the guy marking them off the roll? Which then brings in the question of how that roll is collated and handled and corrected... Which brings us to the point I keep making - a lot of America’s woes would become moot if you had an…

Look, it’s the inaugural meeting of the No Trump Club!

So, I understand it can be hard to get the id’s for voting purposes, but what confuses me, is how can you live without some sort of photo ID, in between elections? (I have three forms of photo ID, and about half a dozen non-photo cards, not counting things like bills or private documents. And I’d love to skip voting…

This deserves more stars.

Good godz, this so sweet. If he had admitted his guilt, or just taken a plea bargain, he could have faded away and douchebro-ed another day. But he tried so hard to get away clean, he’s gonna carry that shit forever.

I hope they mistake him for a manatee and push him back into the ocean...

Well, i wasn’t going to mention Harry... He moved into the corner of my bedroom window and starting eating flies, so I let him stay (he caught one while I watched. Gross, but cool.) But he doesn’t move, unlike huntsmen. They skitter.

I get my news from ABC online, or the occasional Mockery (excuse me, Mercury) in a cafe. And my car radio only gets AM so that’s set to Radio National. There’s a handful of channels bundled with my internet package which keep me in Law and Order reruns, that plus Netflix is usually enough. I really hate ads - avoiding…

I don’t watch free-to-air tv.

That happened to me! I was about a block from a Bunnings, so I turned in, RAN inside, grabbed the first guy I saw and yelled ‘BUG SPRAY! WHERE’S THE BUG SPRAY!’ I saturated the car (it had disappeared into the vents) and then ate sausage sizzle while I calmed down and waited for fumes to fade. Huntsmen terrify me, and…

The results of postal vote should be interesting. Much like the last federal election, it will highlight exactly who and where the conservative, religious anti-everything types are hiding. The more progressive and liberal steps we take as a society, the more they dig in and double-down on their cognitive dissonances.…

While I definitely think kids should not be encouraged to play with spiders (and incidentally, that Peppa Pig should be banned outright, it’s awful), these little guys make me happy.

Ha, reminds me of a kid in school who was getting teased for being Asian, when Hanson reared her ugly head. His great-grandfather emigrated to Australia in the 1860's. It came as a surprise to some that Asian people did exist in Australia before the Vietnam war.

The first couple were just dumbasses. The next three or four had weird derived citizenship of some sort that they (supposedly) had no idea about. Hinch had already renounced his dual citizenships, but he had a US social security number from ages back and someone dredged it up. Apparently he asked the US to cancel the…

Nice work!

Shout-out to those middle-management assholes and stuck-up marketing bitches who treated me like shit when I was mailroom - THIS SHIT AIN’T EASY OR MAKEWORK - IT’S CRUCIAL TO YOUR BUSINESS AND NEEDS TO BE DONE RIGHT, FIRST TIME, AND ON TIME. I make you look good, so back away from my folding machine and show a little…

I think we’re closer to Robert A Heinlein’s Crazy Years and Interregnum.
