It nearly always leaves me feeling a bit unsati…▶11 August · 22:13 UTCImaging from autopsies, showing Covid had taken up residence in the bone marrow of peoples’ skulls, and in the meninges. That’s what it does, your ‘mild’ illness is just the on-…▶11 August · 22:24 UTC‘America’s Newsroom’, see there in the back? I shouldn’t laugh because dumb is everywhere now, he’s not an exception.

And how it was nothing like ‘the bush’ we see tod…▶8 July · 01:41 UTCIf you think climate change just means a couple of extra toasty degrees of temperature, believe me when I say we cannot survive it unless something is done, and very fast.▶10 July · 04:47 UTCNew York had 10 inches of rain today.

But the distinction between sex and gender isn’t rocket science. I…▶22 July · 02:42 UTCFor the cricket tragics, have a look at this clip from 1994. For two reasons.

Here it is captured in video. By all means keep believing the people…▶20 June · 11:13 UTCHave a look at the public health messaging they have in NZ. Our governments here in Australia won’t allow these facts to be publicised.▶23 June · 08:50 UTCI haven’t been to a conference in years, and don’t remember learning anything at any of them. Apparently this mass dancing thing is now common. Like being in pre school again. T…▶29 June · 19:26 UTCThe ABC shared this video of a rail car imploding at 1 atmosphere (i.e. our everyday atmospheric pressure). Implosions are the opposite of explosions, they don’t throw things in…▶7 May · 05:08 UTCThere’s nothing to rival a huge church organ, full choir and herald trumpets.

Almost embarrassing.▶22 February · 18:24 UTCEven FOX News in the US would struggle to match this rousing patriotism from a Russian MP, singing the praises of Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles. (And I can’t help i…▶11 January · 23:19 UTCMemories of watching Laurel and Hardy.▶13 January · 19:58 UTCGenius innovators in agriculture have called enough on this sort of landscape vandalism. Not least because nobody makes any money out of it, long-term. They’re shifting most of…▶19 January · 10:17 UTCJohn Farnham’s fame hides the phenomenal one-off his voice is.
