I have a powerful ear worm. Those of us who grew up in the 70s and listened to progressive music will remember Sparks and their song 'This town ain't big enough for the both of us'. Well here's an excellent cover by the English band, The Last Dinner Party. youtu.be/hkwv4Jl5_4Y?...

Today marks the 216th birthday of #CharlesDarwin. For us, it's a day to reflect on Darwin's underpinning values – his humanism – and to recognise what was once considered radicalism has become common sense to most people today. #DarwinDay

Why can’t Albo just say “If Trump did what he proposed, it would be a war crime”? It’s not a running commentary, it’s a statement of fact.
