@LlJuju2022 It’s great that you do this (❤️). All you can do is keep on reminding him that “it is *not* you — it is them”. Don’t let ‘them’ win! Kind of like on-field opponents trying to “psych you out” — the best response is to see what they’re doing and not fall for it.

@FunnellMike I try. It's tough when he's ASD and almost immediately thinks he's not good enough on a personal level. And yes, I remind him how flawed systems are when we end up with dickheads like Scotty in government. He remembers my fury well

Struggling with the point at which top tier club soccer becomes unhealthy, even bad for kids' mental health. My son now needs to trial for his position every week and doesn't know if he'll make the cut or not in favour of the more 'connected' players. They are 14. Not the PL ffs

Will be proudly wearing my new @nordacious t-shirt at tomorrow's market. If it puts potential customers off, they don't want what I'm selling anyway. An efficient way of weeding out the time wasters and worth every cent.

@LlJuju2022 It’s pretty awful that the alternative appears to be ON (Cory Bestiality; Poorleen) which means the off-brand muppet (not a real one: they’re useful) seems the ‘better’ alternative. 🤬😡🤬 #SAvotes

Looks like muppet Mali will win again in SA with the help of his newly departed head of political lobbying at SANTOS ffs, his bro Rob. Now head of BWS and Dan Murphy's. Meanwhile brevotoxin in the algal bloom is causing seizures, but 'Nothing to see here Nicola' is still lying 🙄

@LlJuju2022 @nordacious I posted this elsewhere responding to someone else - but I think it also applies for you: “The thing with a properly #difficultwoman is that she’s difficult with those who deserve it. Others would never notice she’s (potentially) difficult unless she’s wearing the shirt 👏”

@Aitch_El @BenPennings Curious. These are Catholic workers. They’re pro-life except for women’s lives. Outside of that: They have dared the government to enforce these stupid racist laws, a good thing. They have blatantly waved the red flag in front of a bull. The bull charged. Of course. #auspol

@agentsmart But they don’t do things The American Way. By American ‘logic’ that means they’re doing it the wrong way - which means they have to lose. 🙄 The fact that things hardly ever work out that way only makes Americans more certain they are correct 🤷‍♂️

@FunnellMike It would appear that enemies learn and adapt. Extra easy when your foe's playbook only has a couple of pages in it.

It would appear "Shock & Awe" does not cut it as a successful military strategy in the theatre of modern warfare. 🤔
Rock - NAFO Raccoon@NAFORaccoon

Ukrainians who went to the Middle East to teach how to shoot down "shaheds", were horrified by the way the US military does it - The Times - They launch up to 8 Patriot missiles at a single target - Sometimes they even use an SM-6 missile ($6 M) to shoot down 1 drone - Radars often operate without proper camouflage, essentially "shining" like beacons. In Ukraine, however, radars are constantly moved and hidden. As an example, they cite a case where just three cheap drones destroyed an early detection radar AN/FPS-132 worth about $1 billion and another air defense radar (~$300 million), which had long been stationary and easily tracked by satellites. But it’s not all bad news for the US military. Pete Hegseth appears to be able to bench press 315 lbs.

Motherfuckers. ‘Like lighting a cigarette while trying to quit’: Australia approves new coal seam gas expansion in Queensland, which has been approved until 2081, that will contribute about 120 million tonnes of carbon emissions over its lifetime theguardian.com/environment/20…

If Pauline Hanson gets anywhere near the levers of legislative power in SA or nationally, she will deregulate Australia’s guns. The risk of infecting Australia with American gun culture is too great - school/mass shootings are a weekly occurrence in the US. Voters: please note!

@MissIgraine If it were me (obvs not) I’d be tempted to say ‘yes’, take half a day, and take in the scenery across a few nice stops. I might not give into the temptation .. or maybe I might 🤔🤭

@FunnellMike Urgh. Ok I don't wanna go. Maybe I don't need to. That's way too far for a meeting - although it's a v important one. They don't need me.

@MissIgraine 90-120mins depending on time-of-day/traffic, route chosen, and planned stops. Or: you can have it take longer — if you want to be more relaxed about it and take time for the scenery (worth it). My planning number would be two hours. But you might want to do it differently.

For those not following at home it is functionally illegal to criticise Israel in any capacity as an artist now in Australia without being legally questioned. A member of the Jewish lobby actually had exclusive pre-access to the Sydney Biennale to “approve” all the art included.
