Many years ago I had a Swedish friend and she always called me Janne (pronounced Ya-ne). I thought it was a nickname but today I learned it's literally just the Swedish version of my name, Ian.

I was a supporter but the US are becoming an unreliable partner and it would be better to walk away than getting furthered tangled up in the crazy that lives in the White House.

Review and Walk Away From AUKUS!

Estimates of 300,000 people marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza.
Worth noting that the Jewish Council of Australia is standing with Palestinian groups and the general public who are all horrified at what the IDF and Netanyahu are doing.

Up next will be a review copy of Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec. Not entirely sure what to expect but I read a lot of Native American authors and as an outsider (White Australian) I hope it makes me a better reviewer when talking about indigenous stories. Published in September.

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society.
That's it. That's the post.

Facebook is being flooded with pro-Trump fake accounts. A lot of it focuses on Biden and in light of Trump's weird obsession with Joe Biden I suspect the administration has a "Ministry of Dirty Tricks" that is flooding social media with MAGA propaganda.

I do feel some sympathy for my friends in the United States but as an Australian do I really need to be hit over the head with Trump's deranged word vomit every single day?
All I really need is a weekly digest. An e-mail every Sunday that says "Trump said some moronic racist shit this week."

Liberal National Party are Conservative. Labor are Progressive / Centre Left. The Liberals notoriously once said they choose candidates on merit. Those Independents are mostly women from conservative seats. I would suggest they disagree.
