Interesting interview with an ANU professor on the €300-350 billion in frozen Russian liquid assets held by Europe (mostly), the US, Canada, Japan and Australia. Europe is using the interest on these assets to finance the Ukraine war effort - an ironic situation for Russia. There are also...

Agreed, but the solution to that shouldn't be to pardon the January 6 protesters who broke the law and pretend they did nothing wrong because that's what Donald said. It should be to ensure laws against illegal protesting are applied equally and fairly, and to try other protesters who break...

As I know you love to do, by all means feel free to trawl through my posting history. See what you can dig up. I have never once suggested it's ok for protests to turn violent or to start vandalising property. Fundamentally I don't think that there should be one rule for some and another for...

Best side we’ve faced all season. Not quite sure how we pulled that off. Alisson MOTM by a mile, kept us in it. Then some brilliant running and decisive play by Nunez & Elliott to snatch it at the death. As others have mentioned, we’ve been on the receiving end of losses like that - Real Madrid...

My thoughts exactly. And I f***ing love it.

Gotcha - you mean like this sort of thing, right? Remind me, didn’t he pardon 1500 of these people on the grounds this was a peaceful, legal protest? As the biggest skeptic in here it is hilarious how wilfully naive you’re being. We both know what Trump meant here, and where his line for...

Here I was thinking MAGA extremists hated woke cancel culture and were going to bring back freedom of speech. My mistake.

Thank you. Using all bold text is a wonderfully efficient way of highlighting the posts that are uninformed or misleading (or someone that’s losing an argument ;)) while I’m skim scrolling through the thread. As I said previously (see below quoted post), the ‘24 times higher’ headline is...

Arguing with MAGA extremists is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter what happens they’re just going to knock all the pieces over, shit on the board and prance around like they won.

Thank f***ing Christ. I was about to call it and say bring on the asteroid. Don’t tell me this one is AI too :eek:

You've shared this before. 2 years ago. That a deluded UAP politician with zero relevant expertise is now sharing it again doesn't mean it's adding anything new to the debate. Here's my response at the time, which still holds true...

A point estimate is meaningless without understanding the distribution it sits in. Pre-vaccine rollout while the median age of COVID deaths was north of 80, under 65s were still responsible for: roughly 1/3 of COVID deaths, and over 1/2 of the total life years lost. over 1/2 of hospital and...

I have been loving that Musk's own software (Grok AI and Community Notes) that he specifically designed to separate fact from fiction in an unbiased, algorithmic fashion on X/Twitter are repeatedly fact checking him, and have identified him as the single most prominent source of disinformation...

And as he so often is, Stewart is spot on. Looking for the common ground here - Trump’s team were on point in identifying there are major issues in America, particularly and increasingly so for the poorest and most disadvantaged, and that people want radical change to fix these problems. I...

To be fair, it's felt like that watching us all season. With this team I think there's confidence that we'll just keep getting it done but our performances have typically been much more measured, rarely stepping it up to be as emphatic or convincing as the 2018-22 side. With that team it felt...

Loving Szoboszlai in the false 9 role 😍

Haha. Hats off to you for saying this with a straight face. Not sure "filling threads with endless spam about X politician" is the hill you really want to die on mate.

Just so we're on the same page: No-one is blaming Trump for starting or perpetuating the war. No-one is arguing for the war to continue. Everyone agrees it needs to end. Everyone agrees that this needs to occur via a negotiated peace settlement, not an unconditional surrender. Trump is being...

A negotiated peace is obviously the outcome everyone is looking for. But That negotiated peace settlement should include a commitment to rebuild the damage done in Ukraine and consequences for Russia’s aggression. It shouldn’t be centred on rewarding Russia for invading Ukraine. Yet here we...

There’s a few missing steps from (a) sending economic aid and military equipment to support an ally defend themselves against an invasion (setting a precedent for other would be hostile aggressors that these alliances have substance and we’re a united front) straight to (b) conscription of our...

You’re absolutely right, Russia is notoriously lenient and subtle when it comes to curtailing free speech. They don’t imprison people who speak out against Putin, they just gentle nudge them out of a 10 storey window, or give them a light dusting with radioactive isotopes...

Define “gutter raking journalism”. TL;DR a man dressed undercover in Jewish cosplay and sunglasses with a built in camera went into a Muslim owned cafe in Sydney to try and provoke a fight while Daily Telegraph journalists and cameras were waiting outside. Bottom of the barrel. Our society...

Am I right in thinking that the author of 'The Art of the Deal', the self proclaimed toughest negotiator in the history of business and politics, has surrendered and handed Ukraine to Russia before peace talks had even begun? Must've missed the memo about the rebranding! Make Vladimir Great...

Hahaha. Pete. Get your hand off it and join us back in the real world please. There is not a scrap of evidence (as tested and rejected repeatedly in multiple courts across the US) to back the deranged conspiracy that the 2020 election was stolen. Whether you believe it or not, in a democracy...
