Waking up in the morning to be greeted by a certain obituary is still at the top of my wish list, but that Goebbels doppelganger getting well and truly fucked both professionally and politically is definitely among the top 5.

"The rise and fall of John Pesutto" Excellent feature by @jamespanichi.bsky.social in Inside Story. Weighs in at nearly 8k words but well worth the read. Truly makes you wonder if Libs will ever learn their lesson ... insidestory.org.au/the-rise-and...

I can't find the original quote but evidently Dorothy Parker was informed of a socialite/author who was going to a cabin in the woods to "finish her book". To which Dorothy replied : "What's she reading?"

I purchased a copy of Notorious and about half way through, but maybe Max is right in that I've been called a 'nobody' before. Unless the 2nd half seriously diverts however, I'm at a loss as to why he would call it propaganda?

We are now living in the scariest time since we were hiding under the beds from the reds. Vietnam and Iraq will probably end up looking like a dinner table spat by comparison.

I don't pay close attention to birthdays - especially my own!! - but heard on the radio that Stevie Nicks turned 77 today ... christ, now I feel old!!

There's not a great deal to defend when one comes out with : "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above", while the other is famous for "person, woman, man, camera, tv".

Actually, his treatment of Zelenskyy and Ramaphosa is only red meat for the maggots. The rest of the world sees him for what he is, a ... hmmm, was going go with vulgarian, but will settle for fucking idiot!

Spot on Fugitive : always amazes me that we condemn future generations for not sharing the same values when those future generations got their riding instructions from us!

#Auspol. If they Coalition had of worked with Labor over the years to increase Super to 15.9% ( LIKE MPs GET). We would see far less people of full or part pensions now and the Government would be able to increase both the Pension rate and unemployment rate

Hooray for Norway! I’m completely confident that Obama will come home with good will, not a plane.

Bribery is an impeachable offense. Trump isn’t just breaking norms, he’s selling U.S. influence to the highest bidder.

What are the odds that if Angus Taylor is elected leader of the opposition, the first person to congratulate him will be Angus Taylor?

Still here Fugitive! Don't get rid of me that easily 😂 Was trying to steer clear of social media (as much as I could) during the federal election. Plus, like you you poor bugger, I still have to work for a living.

Bridget Archer was probably no hope anyway, but Sussan Ley is/was Deputy Leader and, just as Julie Bishop didn't get a look in, I'd suggest Ley is very long odds.

Peter Dutton losing his seat? Well, if that isn't icing on the cake with a great big fucking cherry on top, I'll turn it up! #Auspol

From my understanding most of the pollies know before 6pm which way the wind is blowing and I got the same drift. Most interesting part now is whether Dutton retains his seat.

Perhaps the best descriptor of Trump & co. from @davepell.bsky.social in today's Next Draft ... "What could be more hostile to this administration than depicting reality with transparent honesty"

Never forget robodebt; never forget their neglect of older Australians in care; never forget how they left our military veterans out in the cold. Now their sales pitch to Australia is, literally, let’s go back. #Auspol

It takes a seriously dim bulb to look at that photo and not automatically pick up on the misogyny and racism. Yet, if it appeared on Twitter I'm tipping it would have got hundreds, probably thousands, of likes 🤷‍♂️

Well done you Peter ... one was paying $40 and the other $20 so I hope you had a decent lash! And yes, different trainers but similar ownership groups.

There is a very good racehorse at the moment called Bosustow who is owned by a former media personality that names several of his neddies after footy players ... Schwarz is another, while Doull was pretty handy from a couple of years back.

I know I live in the past, but as a kid growing up in Sydney and making fun of 'aerial ping pong', I've always been blown away by the mark from Peter Bosustow. Magic.

My old boss used it as a mantra, but in his case it was measure twice, fuck it up every single time!

Israeli occupation is truly one of the great swindles of my lifetime ... they land grab, slaughter thousands and tell atrocious porkies, but as soon as you express outrage you're anti-semitic. I guess they learned from the 'best'.
