My government won’t let me drive cars, it believes being legally blind makes it “not safe”, or something.

If you possess the energy you can find a recording of Albanese’s call to Alan Jones on the last day of commercial radio for Jones. Albanese could not have stacked more praise on Jones. It’s sickening.

Today Albanese said a few vaguely pleasant words about James Valentine.

Ignorant people love a “tough on” statement. It outsources the bullying they lack the courage to deliver themselves.

The US has since shat on Australia for not having ships ready to sail around the world to do the impossible.

There are very strong arguments for them.

There’s not a decent supplier near me, and I can’t afford them as often, but in a perfect world they’d be on high rotation.

I’d like to find a shop that makes and sells eggplant schnitzel like butchers sell prepared chicken schnitzels.

My ALP federal MP sent me a request to donate to their Christmas appeal, to raise money for crisis accommodation.

Do they not know they are in government? Do they not understand they could just fund crisis accommodation? Do they believe associating themselves with a charity makes them look good?

End the two party system.

When I was a kid, around this time, on this day of the year, we’d all gather round in the dark and enjoy the burning of a symbolic Catholic.

Broccoli felt like a big deal. There’s been broccoli in my fridge all my life. A bunch of other vegetables seem to have come along too, good news in general.

I do feel that I’m coming out the other side now, with ups and downs, but more ups each week.

Sartorially? Flawless.

Gradually coming good, but it’s so very slow. I can eat broccoli now, without it smelling weird. And a bunch of other things, but both smell and taste are quite diminished. I’d be happy to eat nothing but eggs and chips every day, but I’m making myself eat a bit of everything, trying to restore memory or whatever it is.

Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve begun exercising.

After over two years of long covid problems I’m starting at a very easy pace, stretching, walking and very light weights.

My first aim is to not jiggle when I clean my teeth.

Many people gave a lot of time and energy to correct the public image of the Morrison government, expose the corruption and incompetence.

To see the ALP stumbling through the door opened by others, only to fuck up the NACC so badly, in such a Morrison way, it’s a dismal shame.

A candidate for President of the USA is doing conspiracy theories about a hurricane, suggesting it has been manufactured by his opponents.

Firstly, weird.

Secondly, how can Australia continue with AUKUS? If a nation may elect a weird liar, how can we tie our future security to that nation?
