Watched the Spike Lee movie "Da 5 Bloods" on the weekend. I have enjoyed some, and disliked other movies he has made. Many messages from the little pigeon toed basketball fan in this one.

The red MAGA cap makes appearances. I was thinking to myself at the time, "oh that's cruel.."

I think the world has gone madder than it was yesterday. The media went from pumping Covid masks, to riot masks. I watched that phone footage of the cop with his knee on the neck of George Floyd. I wish all the people near to or affected by that the will to find the right outcome. That probably mean...

Cops in Minneapolis are patrolling neighborhoods and SHOOTING people standing on their porches.

"LIGHT 'EM UP!"

Is this what it has come to? I am no sook, but this is all too sad.

Damn cats. Walkin' through the house at 5am screaming "FEED ME" and then moving into the tiled bathroom, for which the door must have been left slightly ajar, howling "ISN'T ANYONE AWAKE YET?" Or maybe it was "I CANT HEAR MYSELF HOWLMEOW, QUICK SOMEBODY FEED ME!" Had th...

Terrible to see the news this past few days.
Nothing resembles a protest from the footage.
Understand that people are angry, but the whole reason the majority wanted to protest has been lost to the thugs and looters running riot.

So when does Purge Night begin? There would not need to be many riots after Purge Night.
I doubt there would be republicans or dems, or left or right after that either.
Something tells me that there would still be black or white tho. We arent nearly Starship Enterprise enough for that.

Ha! I played rugby with a fellow who had that Pam Ayres Berko accent. I used to love the way he'd say "cider"... kinda like "Sigh-Darr".... With the rolling eyes n'all! He was a hard so and so too. I have been sleeping like a kid who just started school. Almost at the end of my f...

Which they'll forget until the next time, but hey, that's how it goes. Yeah, can't believe we basically half-way through the year already. What a mess. :D --A Av, ordinarily i would agree with you on that point. But this was a very different fire season. It will last long in many memories. Not just...

It is pretty cold down around our way at the moment. The colder weather, added to the lifting of restrictions from this pandemic makes the fire season we just came through seem so long ago. It surprises me really because it gets pretty raw thinking back then to the December bushfires. So many people...

"only catholics care..."
Oh Hashi, The old irreconcilable contradiction trick.
Fair to say that it has more than a whiff of Palestine and Isreal about it too.

Society has definitely changed. I've seen people be unusually patient (especially while queued for non-essential stuff) - I've also seen people totally fly off the handle over nothing. Not even counting the ones who were crazy to begin with (I got assaulted by one of those last week) - but just nor...

Lockdowns work against the virus. The lockdown is supposed to isolate the infected from the non infected so that appropriate further isolation of said infected can be undertaken. Wear your frustration like a badge, no problem. But if you dont lockdown and isolate the covid carriers you will continue...

Yes, the foxes leaving is a good outcome. The where they went and what they are getting up to is another matter. They are known for killing rabbits which are also a species foreign to Oz. However they also kill native small marsupials, and birds and more.. not to mention our introduced egg chooks! H...

Isreal moves into the West Bank and declares "Peace"!

BLOODY CATS. One of the siamese - Hades - is deaf. I am sure of it anyway. My wife thinks I am wrong and I could be but too many signs show he is not hearing anything well enough. One bad trait is that he goes into the tiled bathroom and sits in the bathtub and howlmeows his head off (I reckon he is...

I think this virus is despotic. It doesn't discriminate ( we all were led to believe that it would not affect children and that turned out wrong) it just moves on to its next opportunity. I have downloaded a covid 19 app which I initially swore black and blue that I would not download - maybe as my ...

I think people are finding it tougher than I had anticipated.
The drivers in traffic who seem to be off in another world, ranging from wandering distraction to serious rage, are not mixing very well with each other.
Keep your arms inside the car people!

Sitting in this tin can has become so passe. The traffic is returning to the major capitals here. I was reminded that I used to hate having to drive home through traffic. Well a drive in some traffic, with all the milestones reminding me of being "almost home" would be very welcome right n...

The karma wheel turns. Those buggers stuffing you around will have to eat their own shit sandwich. I agree with the consumer affairs avenue. Do that. If you do not then they win. Let them know you plan to do it first and ask who owns the place as well. So they get a last shot to make it right. Coupl...

Like the cane toad was introduced to kill the cane beetle only to be a raging failure, some foxes were brought out here in the mid 1800s as a means for sport. So when you see a dead fox on the side of the road in Australia it is not something to make you sharp inhale, like seeing a dead wombat or ri...
