Why the fight over Australia Day dates back to when the holiday became associated with "Howard's battlers", and hating on it became a way for progressive intellectuals to fight back against McMansion dwellers from their Newtown sharehouses.

Had a day off so naturally spent the afternoon re-reading Eric Voegelin on politics and gnosticism. There's a funny reading of this which sees Harry & Meghan as practitioners of a sort of tabloid dialectics attempting to murder the institution of monarchy, as others killed God.

Ardern's lockdowns - which were harsher in many ways than even Victoria's - were not actions against ordinary people?

Here's the Venn diagram. (Thatcher supporters on the right - of course). Nobody who supports Adern could have supported the vicious Thatcher who acted against ordinary people.

Blokes generally have to wear make-up on TV too, and we can't write it off either ...
Quote Tweet
This is a first world problem but it shits me that you can't claim tv make-up on tax because it's not considered a job requirement but how often do you see women on TV without it? And yes, you mostly have to do your own makeup now-esp since covid. Tax rules designed by blokes.

Cunning and cynical move by Jacinda Ardern to pull the pin early and protect her legacy before Kiwis got to vote her and her phony weaponised niceness out at the ballot box.

Both Chris Minns and Dom Perrottet are in some weird auction over demerit points, but the winner will be whomever discards NSW's antiquated speed limits. No reason highways like the Hume shouldn't be 130+ as in Europe given modern cars.

Sad to wake to news of Senator Jim Molan's passing. One of the smartest (and nicest!) people in Parliament, his whole life was spent as a passionate advocate for and defender of Australia. Will miss our chats, both on-air and off. Condolences to Erin and the entire family. RIP.

Inside job (obviously) and they went to a friendly media outlet because that's all they know. End game is to get Biden to agree to one term and open the 2024 primary now that Congress can't keep pushing a progressive agenda through the White House.

You could do a great dinner party game where everyone reads cards with quotes that are either from SPARE or just really good piss-takes and everyone has to vote whether they're real or not, because I can't believe so much of what I'm seeing around from the book is genuine.

This is one of the creepiest parts of modern progressivism. AOC had never tweeted about stoves before yesterday, but, when she did for the first time, her tone was one of weary condescension toward the bitter-enders whom she's been trying to inform for years. It's cultish.
