@RichardDawkins Hi Richard, I read your book The blind Watchmaker for a genetics class when I was younger, and was very impressed. I think you've missed the clue that Claudia gave you, it doesn't have temporal experience (the map analogy). How would one be conscious without experiencing time?

@trvthnvkeICBM @slugn0id @BurdenBurner It's a five minute walk from the central station, or you could take a train to either of the stations, it's free until the end of May.

The same damn media that were writing fake stories about Kash Patel having a drinking problem, were stealing bottles of wine after the attempted assassination event. Make it make sense.

Realizing a 30 year mortgage doesn’t actually mean 30 years: - 1 extra monthly payment per year can cut 5 years off - 2 extra payments per year can cut about 8 years off - 3 extra payments per year can cut about 11 years off Bank won't tell you this

@PeterCronau This is a free gift to One Nation. It can add taxing the gas cartel to its net-zero immigration policy and hammer the unpatriotic Albo day and night. The ALP is No Nation.

Albanese seems to think the gas companies are charitable institutions who love handing out pennies to the poor. When in fact they are the most ruthless profit-takers, here for one reason alone, working against the public interest, plundering our national resources, sending most of both the gas and the profits overseas, laughing at Australia all the way to the bank. May the ghost of Rex Connor haunt him till his end days… “Mr Albanese says the industry pays company taxes and royalties, on top of the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT). "They pay around about $22 billion a year and, importantly, … you do need to acknowledge the tens of billions of dollars of investment that occurs in order to have that gas extracted," Mr Albanese told. "And without that investment, that's come from North America and Japan, we wouldn't be having a debate because there wouldn't have been that extraction occur." (All of which are the best arguments for nationalising the gas industry and keeping 100% of profits from our gas here.) abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

The UK will ban anyone 17 and under from ever buying cigarettes after the Tobacco and Vapes Bill cleared Parliament. Anyone born after January 1, 2009 will never be able to legally purchase tobacco, aiming to create a smoke-free generation. (bbc.com/news/articles/…)

None, not one. People told you the internet was good, they showed you their awesome games systems, they showed you their iPhones. Because the stuff was so obviously desirable, it sold itself. They’re having to push this stuff so hard because the public mostly aren’t interested.
Adam Conover@adamconover

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Multiple factors: tens of thousands of parking spots will be used for other things; walking there is illegal; FIFA demanded insane security & normal NJT routes will be severely restricted, and finally, NJT is required to recover its costs (which it normally doesn’t do—daily trains are subsidized). So requiring NJT to spend extra money per trip, and requiring trains as virtually the only legal way to get huge crowds there, means the cost skyrockets and, unsubsidized, amounts to about $150 round trip.

I’m completely confused about the Met Life stadium transit crisis for the World Cup. This place hosts 17 NFL games a year and massive concerts, how many people are they expecting for Ghana vs Bosnia-Herztagovina match, or whatever?

@MelanieLatest There are 1.2bn Muslims in the world. A tiny percentage are terrorists. People seem to live happily in places like Dubai. Bali is in Indonesia where plenty go on holiday. Stop with your prejudices. There are plenty of horrible Christians out there too.

melaniephillips.substack.com/p/an-unholy-ac… The Pope said his aim was to build “bridges between the Christian world and the Muslim world”. But building bridges between sheep and wolves merely provides the wolves with an easier way to tear the sheep to pieces. His condemnation of the war against Iran rather than the Iranian regime itself serves to line up the Vatican with the debauched amorality of countries such as Britain, France, Italy and Spain, which have taken a similar position.

ALERT: Woman’s face quickly goes from smug to terrified after she dared an aspiring paralympian to keep driving as she clung to her hood. Woman: “Go on c-nt. Go on, you stupid dog.” The driver then sped up to about 40 miles per hour as the woman begged her to slow down.

@BM56603 @Potstirrer111 Hope you didn't claim any interest payments as a deduction. The ATO wouldn't look too kindly on that if you weren't creating an income from it.

@Potstirrer111 We left our investment property empty for the last 12 months we had it, gave us more flexibility as they were changing the rules for no fault terminations, so we got in before and turfed the tenants while we still could.

It’s funny how investors frame this as being bad. So Melbourne is a global city and has affordable housing and rents due to laws that favour tenants and landlord taxes that go into government coffers to fund the general public. How is any of this bad?
