Hilarious in the pub, angry at work and rubbish on social media. Spouting nonsense so I don’t scream at the West’s dumpster fire.

Reading Trump’s posts I’m reminded of this from Terry Patchett in Maskerade:
“What sort of person,” said Salzella patiently, “sits down and writes a maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.”

In different times we’d have left Musk on a rock in the wilderness to free up food and resources for the more useful. Or stuck him on a pyre ‘cos he’s clearly a demon.

This is just a case of one bad apple giving all traitors a bad name.
A woman who was pardoned by President Trump for her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced this week to 10 years in prison for driving drunk and killing a passenger in another car, nearly a year after the riot.
Woman Pardoned in Jan. 6 Case Gets 10-Year Sentence in Drunken-Driving Death
Prosecutors said the woman was intoxicated when she crashed into another car in Missouri, killing a passenger, on Jan. 5, 2022, a year after she joined the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Sitting and listening to Portishead makes me want to sit in dimly lit inner-Melbourne bars in 2001. (Honourable mention to mid-90s Dunedin what is where I first heard them.)

Boxing Day test cricket on the radio. Peter Lalor waxing lyrical about some classic Fitzroy pubs: the Newry, the Union, the Labour in Vain. (Not the Standard, WTF?) Brings back good memories of the good times with good friends that made Melbourne feel like home.
