Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

at some point maybe we should do something about the cabal of billionaires intentionally demolishing society so they can profit off the ashes
this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Local NW Tas radio just referred to last weeks protests as ‘Anti Israel protests’, if you’re wondering how the narrative is going.

An almost daily pick-me-up I do is visit the Angler Alliance webcam page. Shows many Tasmanian lakes and is by far the best webcam implementation I have ever seen.

I don’t keep up with explosive technology, so learning about these new bombs is giving me the same feeling as learning about Hiroshima as a child. Deep, deep sadness that we are capable of such things. Both kinds of weapons killing so utterly that there’s nothing left to grieve.

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.

This is exactly what I was concerned about! That it would mark Jewish AUSTRALIANS as being ‘not really Australian’. Wow social cohesion!

Labour parties around Australia were formed because colonial governments kept shooting striking workers who were protesting. Chris Minns and his draconian anti-protest laws are a disgrace to the history of his own party. #auspol

one of the few outlets to publish an accurate account of NSW police brutality. Most media seem very confused by the fact that police blocked the exits and then police attacked people with pepper spray, fists, and steel cap boots.

Look out next time you’re in Coles/Woolworths:
Jeremy purchased 3 items today, 1 was incorrect so we went to exchange, in service queue we noticed A 4th ITEM he hadn’t purchased at all was on the receipt. We had to google it - a water pistol! Is the AI hallucinating?
