PAULINE'S 'MONOCULTURE'. The media keep buying into her silly premise. Can one reporter please ask her: ‘So, to achieve this monoculture, will you be deporting all current residents who fail to meet your standards of assimilation?’ Because that is the inevitable result of this ‘policy’. #auspol
Some are saying this new #ArtemisII image is less vibrant than a similar image by Apollo in 1972. But the Apollo image was of the daylight side. This new image is of the NIGHT side. It’s been taken at an ISO setting of 52,000 (!) to bring out detail in what was in reality a dark Earth.

A very succinct slap down of the BS you hear on Sky News. Oh, and 85-90% of the turbine material is recycled.
The termination letter sent to all the career prosecutors who worked on the Jan6 and Stolen Documents cases against Trump, telling them they couldn't be trusted to 'implement the President's agenda'. The beginning of the end for the rule of law in the US.
I had a similar revelation recently. Turns out Jimmy didn’t use to smoke a dynamite cigar.
