If it’s good enough for the mighty Helen Razer, it’s good enough for me. Highly recommended read.
Whoever drew this had definitely seen the suckophant from Yellow Submarine.
As always, facts defeat the BS of Hanson's ON. Farrer MP David Farley says “My grandfather fought the first world war under the flag". No, he didn't. We all British subjects at the time, he fought under the Union Jack. See this WW1 recruitment poster. Facts are not ON's strong point. #auspol
This afternoon was a little cloudy, so their usually dazzling colours were not so well defined, but the Rainbow bee-eaters have returned to Queensland for their winter holiday.
1972 was definitely the year for newspaper style album covers. In March, Tull released Thick as a Brick.
A very good piece. For a deeper dive with much historical background, I recommend this…
The Thatcher/Reagan neoliberalism kicks in during the 80s and this graph shows the huge disconnect between wages and productivity which continues today. This is the actual problem. Not migrants or “red tape“ or PC thought. It’s wage theft.
Yes it's always heartwarming. This gang of five were perched just across the road from our house this morning. A lovely sight before breakfast.
My best attempt for last night’s lunar eclipse. Brisbane, about 9:05pm.
I have just taken delivery of this incredible instrument! What a thing of beauty. #guitar #jazzguitar
I feel your pain. I'm currently obsessed with getting one of these hollowbody PRS guitars. But this is definitely a want, not a need.
I was lucky enough to see this koala late this afternoon, settling in for the evening (I assume). And lest you think I may have been bothering it, the second photo shows its location in the tree without the zoom. You’ll have to look closely.
Conned by the very people who are actually the cause of their problems.
And by pure coincidence, good old Norman Gunston was there at the exact moment of the dismissal. Only in Australia.
I knew very little about Rosalind Franklin’s brilliance and the mysoginistic environment of academia until I read this outstanding biography by Deborah Maddox. Highly recommended.
So, applying this sound reasoning, we find that this man, a white middle aged doctor, murdered over 200 people. Therefore we must stop pretending that white middle aged doctors are not, in fact, mass murderers.
It was gin & tonics all round tonight. This was pretty much the net result…
