  1. The Liberals got absolutely smashed at two elections in a row, are bleeding voters in every city, and have lost basically an entire generation… so naturally they've decided to dust off Tony Abbott like he's some kind of vintage find at an op shop.
    Nothing screams "we've learned absolutely nothing" like handing the wheel to the bloke who turned the party into a fossil fuel appreciation society and a permanent Sky News comment section. Even Advance got sick of him eventually.
    This isn't a rebuild. It's a retirement village for ideas that stopped working in 2013, where every problem gets solved with more fear campaigns, more anti-woke carry-on, and more pretending it's still the Howard era.
    They've already lost women, young people, cities, moderates, and basically anyone under 60 who reads something other than The Australian. And the answer they've landed on is: "maybe what we need is… more Tony Abbott?"
    Mate. Electoral self-immolation usually takes a bit longer than this.

  2. Donald Trump, fresh off getting FIFA’s shiny new ‘Peace Prize’ from his buddy Gianni Infantino for ‘uniting the world through football’ 🏆⚽, now has his envoy lobbying to kick war torn Iran out of the World Cup and hand the spot to Italy (whom have rejected the offer) instead.
    Because nothing says ‘peace’ like politicising the beautiful game, starting wars, and then demanding your preferred team gets the golden ticket.
    FIFA really outdid themselves with this one. Nobel Committee is laughing.

  3. Old Niggly Fromage, he never learns, does he?

    “If he would do this for a small amount of money, what would he do for paymasters with deeper pockets?”

  7. Footage from 2021 of US Ambassador Kevin Rudd calling Donald Trump a "village idiot" has resurfaced, prompting News Corp commentators to call for his resignation.

    However, both PM Albanese and Opposition Leader Dutton have stood by Rudd, dismissing claims that he is "under pressure."

    Meanwhile, Sky News’ Chris Kenny and other media personalities are demanding the government recall Rudd over his comments.

  8. Years ago, I foolishly gave away "Fahrenheit 451". Wanted to get it back. Ended up buying the entire box set from #LOA. And then added a collectors trilogy of the first books of Dune to that. WHAT HAVE I DONE?????????

  9. Today, I ate a habanero pepper straight - down to the stalk. After the hellfire inferno unleashed in my head the last time, this was a little bit of an anticlimax.

  10. > A village idiot in the literal sense of the word , if he really loves truth, is infinitely superior to Aristotle in his thought, even though he never utters anything but inarticulate murmurs . He is infinitely closer to Plato than Aristotle ever was. He has genius, while only the word talent applies to Aristotle . If a fairy offered to change his destiny for one resembling Aristotle's he would be wise to refuse unhesi­ tatingly. But he does not know this. And nobody tells him.

  12. The English Through Pictures Book 3 page 47 makes me think of a line from Lewis Mumford:
    > Mechanical instruments, potentially a vehicle of rational human purposes, are scarcely a blessing when they enable the gossip of the village idiot and the deeds of the thug to be broadcast to a million people each day.

  13. #Pandemic #PPE : how #Australia entrusted a small-time retailer with $100m and got 46m unusable masks.

It went disastrously wrong . #lnpfaiĺ government paid millions for unusable Covid face masks from obscure online retailer

    @rodhilton
    This reminds me of a quote by my favorite political philosopher.

    Transphobic #bigotry is a case in point. #VillageIdiot

  16. @mojo Just goes to show how pathetically weak the Liberal party is if they have to recycyle the #VillageIdiot #auspol
