  2. A quotation from Baltasar Gracian

    There is no weakness without its admirer, so be not discomfited because your ways displease some, for they will not fail to be pleasing to others: nor let their approval of them make you vain, for still others will condemn them.
     
    [No hay defecto sin afecto, ni se ha de desconfiar porque no agraden las cosas a algunos, que no faltarán otros que las aprecien; ni aun el aplauso de estos le sea materia al desvanecimiento, que otros lo condenarán.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 101 (1647) [tr. Fischer (1937)]

  3. CW: #HateSpeech #Racism #ANZACday #Auspol

    In case anyone was under any illusions about the intentions of the 'hate speech' laws passed by federal and state governments in recent months, consider the official governmental and media responses to the campaign of hateful racist booing of Aboriginal elders at ANZAC Day ceremonies around the continent today.

    In Gadigal/Sydney, Naarm/Melbourne, Tarndanya/Adelaide and Boorloo/Perth, organised groups of racist hecklers jeered and booed as Aboriginal elders (many of them also ADF veterans) gave a Welcome to Country or Acknowledgement of Country. The campaign was organised by some of the same far-right white supremacists behind the recent 'March for (White) Australia' rallies.

    In the flurry of media reporting and comments from politicians about how disgraceful the booing was, or saying how booing "misses the point", I have not managed to find a single article mentioning the obvious application of the new draconian hate speech laws to this very situation. Nor did I see a single call for prosecution from a politician. (Nor calls for politicians who have encouraged such hate to resign.)

    The double standard has always been obvious. But at times like this, it is utterly glaring.

  6. My 11 year old daughter also quipped that they should be called #Booing instead of Boeing 😄. (f h)

  7. Munching on #popcorn. Riffing on “#GroundhogDay.” #Booing loudly, scrolling their phones and strapping on their infants.

    By the time the #battle ended its #second day of #House members had run the gamut of ways to cope.
    Lawmakers sat in their chairs for hours, chatting among themselves, as #frustration (Republicans) and amusement (Democrats) failure to claim the chamber's top #gavel.
