Look what has arrived! I got my copies on my book - it is now very real and also very surreal!
The book comes out in the UK on February 7 and will be in stores in Australia on May 16.
See online ordering options in the next week.

Let's get this clear, if someone is upset by a teacher wearing a Palestine badge, the teacher is not being antisemitic. That person is being racist towards Palestinians. This really isn't hard.

#380 Blood, Sweat, And Tears by Blood, Sweat, And Tears (1969)
An album that fuses fiery blues-rock with jazz, there are some great moments in the album. But also some of it is a little bit much. The album was a huge success, but it didn't last for the band. 7/10
#632 All The You Can't Leave Behind by U2 (2000)
I'll say it again, it is a shame U2 aren't cool anymore, because they were so good. This is both artistic genuis, with a broad appeal. It is banger after banger, and a well deserved global hit.
8.5/10
#633 Low by David Bowie (1977)
It is not the Bowie I return to the most, but it's genius. Side one is classic experimental pop, while side two constructed by Brian Eno is mostly desolate and bleak instrumental. Reflecting Bowie's dark mindset, it is very good.
10/10

Hasn't seen a full game but feels confident to judge it.
Started watching towards the end of last year, and it's clear the skill level has already improved dramatically - it's part of why I think our Saints' AFLW season has been so cursed this year

Seeing a lot of Angus Taylor talking about turning the temperature down etc.
A part of that is not making excuses and engaging in deflection, whataboutism and false equivalence cheapos when someone on your side does the wrong thing. Like this.
This is just so awful.

Democrats are just Republicans who brag about how many same-sex weddings they've been to.
James Carville says he'd rather have Republicans keep control of the House than Democrats winning the chamber by 5 seats.
"I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats win by five, because if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA. Like, Hakeem cannot move. There’s no place for him to go."
This is the state of the Democratic establishment. Would rather Republicans be in control so they don't have to deal with actual leftists.
