Heading off to Blue Sky. Fighting with the RWNJs who infest this site only generates activity & free content for its insane owner. Stay well.

I knew a family in the 1970s with a son who had SSPE, a severely disabling & eventually fatal complication of measles. These peanuts have no idea of the horrors that virus can inflict on unvaccinated children.
I hope you know what happens when you get measles. Your politicians and all the other antivaxx ignoramuses don’t. It’s called immune amnesia. Look it up. Apparently the whole country has amnesia in regard to just about everything.

Yet again the media denigrates GPs with this image showing a bulkbilling GP clinic in a story about greedy surgeons & anaesthetists. It’s just ignorant & lazy @theage .

I’m so old that I can remember when America had presidents and attorneys general who didn’t have mugshots.

I beat Kyle again in my final ratings today. So I'll forever live rent free in his head. I'm his white whale; his tormentor; the last face he sees at night and first face he sees each morning. When he strolls on the beach at night, the wind will whisper "Sammy J".

You’ve got to wonder whether the traditional model of democracy is fit for purpose in an age of voting for the most entertaining reality TV celebrity for shits & giggles.

I’m afraid there’s no point in Americans fleeing to Australia if Trump wins. We’ve got this bloke called Dutton, who’s much the same but with less charm & charisma.

Bless my British colleague who just let me know he’s visiting Australia for the first time & could I pop up from Melbourne to see him in Brisbane for a coffee? He was astonished that it’s more than an hour’s drive! 🙄

It is beyond a joke that Albo’s flight upgrades over 17 years ago have dominated MSM in Australia. Now we find out Bridget McKenzie has hidden upgrades and Peter Dutton has asked for free flights from a uranium mine owner. Watch the story disappear now. The bias is extraordinary

Replying to @MurrayWatt
The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, used a taxpayer-funded private jet to travel to a News Corp event in Tamworth, claiming $23,000 in travel expenses to speak at the summit where he criticised the government’s response to the cost-of-living crisis. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

How’s this absolute flog limiting replies to those with whom he agrees. It’s no surprise he was the nation’s worst treasurer and killed off our car industry. Perennial loser @JoeHockey

Amusingly, Trump would fail McDonald’s pre-employment police check.
