I'm wondering why Humpty Trumpty hasn't intervened or threatened to intervene in Myanmar, where a corrupt military organisation is in power. Perhaps he sees these bloodthirsty generals as kinda comrades in arms. Perhaps there's nothing in it for him.

It appears extra Special Envoy Jillian Segal's handpicked expert to conduct antisemitic report cards at universities - Greg Craven - is getting paid $232,466

You may not like my idea of 1-on-1 combat by "leaders" to replace worldwide warfare. You may not like the idea of worldwide warfare, but you will be expected to participate & to pay in cash for the event & its aftermath. Could be better uses for your life & life savings, if you think about it.

Zohran Mamdani has reversed nine executive orders by his predecessor Eric Adams, including defining antisemitism to include criticism of Israel ⬇️

I’m just at the point where if we need a freaking royal commission into one awful and tragic attack carried out by two extremists, why can’t we have one into the scourge of domestic violence that takes pretty much one woman’s life each week…carried out by “he seemed like a pretty good bloke”

Pulled up a Dandelion, removed flower, left plant lying on lawn 2 days ago. Today the plant, dead as a doornail, leaves brown & flakey, produced a puff ball of seeds. Testimony to Nature's will to survive. Nature is my 'religion'.

From robotic surgery performed 7,000 miles away to the first blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease, 2025 has been a year full of medical breakthroughs. Here are seven of the biggest innovations in the health and science space this year. abcnews.go.com/Health/groun...

Talking abt things can make them happen. Discussion brings things to life. We can talk abt 1-on-1 contests between leaders of warring nations, or we can remain silent & wait for the next Big One (WWIII) to happen. Surely there are pros & cons to consider & discuss.

More than 1000 years BC, Israeli shepherd David downs Philistine giant David with a slingshot, preventing wider conflict. The world hasn't been allowed to forget it. I propose renewal of 1-on-1 contests & the world sighs, goes "Pffftt!" & moves on, eagerly awaiting the next Big One no doubt.

Attempts at humour (with serious undertones) today possibly due to watching docco on NZ satirist John Clarke last night. Not saying I'm as clever as Clarke (don't get your knickers in a twist), but our formative years are similar. He went with satire & humour, I opted for ferreting out hypocrisy.

If Donald Duc/// Trump survives battle with Vlad he can challenge Xi-Jinping, or Nicolas Maduro, or Canada's Mark Carney, or Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen (alt Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen), or Panama's president José Raúl Mulino Quintero. Crikey! Trump's a bit spoiled for choice isn't he.

I'm nominating Vladimir Putin & Donald Duc/// Trump as combatants in first 1-on-1 leaders' fight to the death in central arena (ticket sales opening soon). Vlad can use his Ju-jitsu skills & Humpty Dumpty can wield a Presidential Decree folder, or an egg whisk. Remember, no territorial gains!

If next major conflict involves allies, under my 1-on-1 proposal the leaders of allies will participate in semi-final play-offs, thereby reducing the size of the conflict. Bronze & silver medals, State funerals as provided elsewhere. Enthusiasm shd exceed World Cup (no phoney 'Peace Prize' but).

You may not like my idea of 1-on-1 combat by "leaders" to replace worldwide warfare. You may not like the idea of worldwide warfare, but you will be expected to participate & to pay in cash for the event & its aftermath. Could be better uses for your life & life savings, if you think about it.

ABC online article mentions the following: “The business leaders said there must be an end to the "unprecedented harassment intimidation and violence" directed at the Australian Jewish community since the war in Gaza began in 2023”. 1/2

Not Somali.

Countries borrow billion$ or trillion$ to conduct their wars, expect taxpayers to pay the interest for many decades to come, along with re-building cities & their lives. I propose 1-on-1 contests of the belligerents instead. Pollies will probably recommend I become first man on Mars & stay there.

League of Nations, formed 1920, after horrors of WWI, to maintain world peace. It failed. United Nations, formed 1945 after horrors of WWII, same aims plus more. It failed. Best at aid distribution. 2026, 1-on-1 contests proposed. World reels in horror, too shocking to contemplate.

First responders to my campaign for one-on-one contests of warring world leaders are likely to be the would-be combatants themselves. They'll come up with every imaginable idea of why it won't prevent warfare. We know in advance they are trying to save their own skins, at the expense of yours.

Where shd first man-on-man combat of belligerent world leaders be staged & which 2 shd participate? How much wd you pay to attend such an event? Shd weapons manufacturers be made to produce tractors, EVs & wind turbines instead? Vital questions for 2026.

Join my campaign to end warfare by having belligerent national leaders head to central arena to do man-on-man battle with their opponent. Winner gets gold medal (no new territory) & loser gets a State funeral. Ticket sales, TV & movie rights go to mangled victims of earlier wars.

2026 will see leaders who want a war battling each other in central arena, man-on-man, saving millions of innocent lives & trillions of national treasure. How many will hv the guts to fight instead of expecting you to die on their behalf? It won't happen, but it's a dream worth having.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism. Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Early days, but wondering what madness Donald Duc/// Trump (aka Trumpty Dumpty) will get up to in 2026. Man who doesn't like rigged elections hs bn supporting rigging by backing 'redistricting' (gerrymandering) here & there. Nov 2026 mid-terms might see Trumpy & his MAGAts get their comeuppance.

My gift to you for 2026: If you think something will be too hard, make a plan & go for it. First time failure is ok, it's common. Pick yourself up & try again. Persistence works. Proved it to myself again this morning when I moved a garage wall sideways, after months of fretting abt it.

Architect, engineer, excavator, builder all in one this morning; moved whole bloody garage wall sideways. No-one wants to talk about that so I'll go home & lock wall in new & proper vertical position (something not done originally). If I don't talk to you in 2026 it's your fault. 😢😛

While you're debating Anti-Semitism v Anti-Zionism, ask yourself why does Zionist-controlled Israeli govt act as if it hates Palestinians. Ask yourself if hate is a reasonable emotion. Why aren't Zionist rantings against Palestinians (who are fighting for their homeland) regarded as "hate speech"?

When our mainstream news media reports on Australia's close friendship with Israel, they don't mention that in 2010 Israel forged Australian passports so Mossad agents could assassinate Palestinians in Dubai. Israel has zero respect for Australia. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism

I worked with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) in multiple countries to bring medical care to refugees and other populations at risk. There are a 100% committed, professional, non-political organization. Netanyahu banning them from Gaza is an unspeakable outrage. People will die.

Forget WWIII, Trumpty Dumpty, cost of living & other stuff. I singly-handedly moved a whole bloody garage wall 20cm sideways all by myself this morning. Made a plan, executed the plan, worked a treat. I'm so bloody clever I frighten myself. Good start to ending one year & starting another. HNY 😁

We know Humpty Trumpty hasn't stopped any wars anywhere (might start one in Venezuela), but tell me this: Why are America's peace negotiators real estate developers? Will oil barons be sent to talk turkey with Venezuela eventually?

Who agrees? ✋

“Australians are told that strong security laws and large intelligence budgets keep them safe. Yet violent attacks still occur, early warning signs are missed, and those who expose wrongdoing face prosecution.” theaimn.net/why-asio-and...

Finally moved garage wall back to vertical position. Lift 7cms, slide sideways 20cm onto footings. Working bee didn't eventuate, did it myself. Scissor-type car jack under bottom wall plate, lift supported inside, outside by angled 'sliders'. Very fiddly, incremental movements, worked perfectly.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

Time for a Royal Commission into misogyny? Permission for a private security group to provide armed protection of women? Will the Army be deployed to keep us safe? #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Not looking forward to New Year's Eve. I have to hand my closest friend a NY present. There will be a fight of some sort. She is generous (to a fault, perhaps), but doesn't like receiving gifts. Definitely not anti-social, but upsetting the social norm apple cart. What do you think of gifting?

In the great big southland Down Under, where ABC News is the prime news medium, there are no Current Affairs requiring TV attention on Friday & Saturday. Isn't that amazing? !! Politics kicks off again Sunday morning -- when you should be peacefully sleeping in.

Hey US Health Secretary (& vaccine nut case) R.F. Kennedy Jnr. Did you know George Washington eventually ordered his Continental Army to have Smallpox vaccinations during War of Independence? If he had not done it he faced having virtually no army to fight the British & their allies.

Earlier this year, a Jewish Australian soldier in our army was stripped of his security clearance after he admitted he participated in these CSG training camps. He also said that CSG directed him to lie to ASIO about it to avoid further scrutiny of its activities. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In the name of “social cohesion” Zionists will soon have their own exclusive armed special forces on Australian streets, in addition to special oversight of Australian media, arts, culture, and education by way of the Zionist envoy, Jillian Segal. Cool and normal.

US Congress building might be used to store the rapidly accumulating tonnage of Donald Duc/// Trump's Executive Orders. Might as well. Congress no longer has any use for the place.
