I have no drive to develop and blurt out emotions about the current state of affairs, but will perhaps just mention a few things that gave pause for thought.
“Loot” by Tania James is a book centred on Tipu Sahib a fierce but progressive Rajah of late 18th Century India. “Better to live 2 days as a tiger than 200 years as a sheep.”
When his son asked his mother which was he: a tiger or a sheep, she replied “neither: you are a boy”.
I also took a sidestep; I am an old man.
“We are here because you were there” is a piercing retort to those who object to too many Indians in the UK. That is another clear battlefield in the World Woke War!
There are many current issues where one side controls the narrative, and the other is intimidated into silence – making a topic ‘taboo’ is an ideological weapon. Speak the truth while you still can.
JP of course!
A new woke war cry has clearly been heeded, gender-based health inequity; although how it came to exist, if it really does, is incredible. The far greater majority of medical practitioners are females – I defy those who say they are so feeble as to allow such a state of affairs.
The Queensland government has clearly drunk the Kool Aid – it has devoted $249 million in its budget to address the problem!
There is another woke battlefield: the virtue of vegan:
The world’s top food delivery services are failing to implement strategies to reduce meat and dairy consumption, despite the climate emergency.
There is a lot of “I” in this piece. but they are my thoughts…
Kamala did quite well against Donald, I thought. He seemed a bit old, which I haven’t thought before.
Glad the Olimpics are all over, there is such a thing as too much gush…
Sorry to see Bill Shorten go. I mean I didn’t like what he usually stood for, but he was a competent hard pollie with a real backbone; certainly preferable to Albogreasy…
I saw a cane toad this morning: summer is here.

I like Bill Shorten more now after listening to his exit interview on ABC RN. There are many confronting world views at the moment, much simpler to stick to gardening.
