Trump wants to use the FBI and DOJ to investigate and prosecute his political enemies and journalists. Musk censors stuff on X he doesn’t like. So explain again how free speech will be restored (including why it isn’t currently pretty strong)?

The cause hasn’t been determined for certain. Yet. A leading theory is that it was hit by a Russian defence system missile but engineers will recover the black box to determine precisely what the cause was. If it wasn’t a missile, it could have been mechanical error, human error, an onboard...

So AI does have a purpose after all.

So why did some survive and others not? We’re the ones who died not praying correctly? Or hard enough? Or is God (or Allah) cruel and capricious?

So if you don’t believe in any god, can you simply omit references to any deity? And what do you hold when giving your oath?

Better for who?

In recognition of the season, can we temporarily refer to him as Noel, rather than Leon?

And that is why I pity them. Once you have sufficient to live securely and comfortably, is there anything more boring in the world than money?

He might, but I’m not sure it will have much effect. For all his billions and his bluster, it’s only taken a month and a half for Musk to show his ignorance of politics/government. And that’s pre-inauguration. If he just wanted power, he’d stay far more in the background, where his money and...

In a way I feel sorry for him. He and his cronies will never have enough of anything. Enough money. Enough grievance. Enough dissatisfaction with their lot in life. I wonder when was the last time they were stopped in their tracks by that earthy smell when a light rain starts to fall. Or when a...

It’s just as possible that there’s a spaghetti monster travelling across the universe on a flying heffalump, who desires all living creatures to burn their first born on an altar as a sacrificial offering. The evidence for the existence and wonts of such a monster is the same as the evidence for...

Once the supposed investigation is abandoned for complete lack of substance, I hope Cheney sues the arse off Trump for defamation.

He/ she never made such a claim to truth. Merely pointed out assumptions being made in a vacuum of verified fact.

Except Musk isn’t eligible to hold that actual title of president since he wasn’t Born in the U.S.A.

Significantly less than Musk contributed to Trump’s re-election campaign. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/elon-musk-277-million-trump-republican-candidates-donations/ And a small fraction of the amount Musk’s personal wealth is estimated to have already increased in the few weeks since the...

They (farmers) can look forward to the imminent depletion of their workforce when the rounding up of undocumented immigrants begins on January 20th.

How else can he fund tax cuts for the people who need them the least?

Are you suggesting that gender dysphoria is a mental illness in itself? The way homosexuality used to be categorised as a mental disorder? I can believe that people with gender dysphoria suffer from anxiety and depression at higher rates than those without such dysphoria. But is that not likely...

One is a second year player who’s already shown impressive senior form and whose main competition for a senior spot is Chol. The other is a first year player. So not really comparable.

Just to add to the wonderful response by Johnny Bananas, how do you think a trans woman (with a penis) would be treated if she went into the men’s toilets at a pub or club and started fixing her hair and make-up? Blokes might not realise this is as an important a function of a ladies room at a...

For all the post draft angst re Stephens over Serong, Young was the one who, at draft time, had me salivating the most.

The only reason I have a clue what transubstantiation is.

The domestic terrorism charges feel like a massive overreach. The reaction of the establishment over the common person. It was a targeted assassination, not terrorism against the broad population. He should - and almost certainly will - be held accountable for his actions, but will a jury of...

There have been fairly regular "pot shots" taken at presidents over the centuries, some successful, some not. Most via gun. But that hasn't been enough to convince the populace that guns aren't great.

Didn’t those events precede his first election as president? Making it hard to argue they were (official) acts of a president.

Aargh. You've quoted me a few seconds before I spotted my typo and corrected it. I do understand (and know, even) the difference between know and now.

I guess we now understand why she wasn’t prelisted. For whatever reason the Swans didn’t think she was at the level of others available.

I think she’s at UTS.

I think this is very important to understand. It’s one thing the draft officially being national. It’s another thing for the culture of the competition to shift accordingly. Unlike its male counterpart, the AFLW remains a part-time competition. Players need a life away from football. It is...

And also to review how coaches and their charges interact with each other to minimise - ideally eliminate - opportunities for grooming and abuse. Like trying to ensure coaches are never alone with the youngsters.
