I reckon Savoy Truffle could be the best (underappreciated) Beatles song #bigcall

@npub15t7…08hr Australians need to wake up to this too . The US doesn’t care about us - hanging our future prosperity and security on the US is incredibly foolish.
I think the question is: are Australians ready to face the big bad world alone without America? (Hugh White, an Australian defence analyst, has written several books about this)

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit entered a clinic to donate blood.
The nurse asked the rabbit "what's your blood type?"
"I'm probably a type O", said the rabbit.

Remember when the Coalition said they could do the NBN for half the price that Labor could do it? Remember how that turned out? (Hint: Crappy NBN that was no cheaper than the better network proposed by Labor)
I’m getting echoes of that with their latest bullshit “costings” for their #nuclear non-plan.
Roll up, roll up, for “Dutton’s famous snake oil”

I hope the US can find a peaceful way to redistribute wealth. A 21st century “terror” and Napoleon/war would be terrible. I hope you can find another FDR instead…

I somewhat agree, though I would extend that "inner circle" of beneficiaries to include middle class homeowners in countries like Australia. Basically, if a household has more than about AU$50k p.a. of disposable income, that probably puts them in the 1% (maybe as little as $25k or even less) who benefit from the status quo and would see a lifestyle hit, were it to be replaced with a different global order @npub1kmh…e30s

we stand for a global order that works so well for us - morality/ethics has nothing to do with it.
(And the order is crumbling - we'll be left with neither our honour nor our money)

This poem feels all too real #poetry
The Second Coming, by Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I know it’s not quite up to NYPD levels, but how many fares must one evade before a broken collarbone is justifiable in Australia?
