He isn't knee-jerk, doesn't chase the 24hr news cycle, isn't afraid of his own shadow, always plays the long game, has superb timing and lets the world catch up to him. I have faith he is waiting to destroy AUKUS at the right moment.

The world's least cool and most cringe inducing man, Elon Musk, is brilliant at selling shares in companies that struggle to make profits. Even compared to Tesla, SpaceX is a doozy worthy of a monorail salesman. Never made a profit, loses billions, never going to make a profit, but worth a trillion dollars. For some reason.

With Belfast the third Reform UK riots in recent years and Australia's corporate news media desperate for it to happen in Australia, a look at a story as old as time. How the wealthy elite deflect attention from them screwing every one else over, by co-opting and astro-turfing grass roots rage and aiming it at brown people.

FIFA have been destroying football from within for years and have reached a half-time show style apex with this insanely, punitively expensive World Cup. Meanwhile the attention seeking narcissist in chief, Trump will seek to plaster himself all over every inch of it and the most multicultural sports fans on earth can deal with even getting into the country.

Ignore every opinion poll not three months out from an election and you will instantly know more about politics or who will win the next election. Opinion pollsters are businesses that cannot say the poll is the same for three years straight, no one would buy it, they have to provide intrigue every day and suit clickable narratives, like a right wing populist is surging in the polls etc. Same for news media who are additionally more likely to pay for polls that suit their agenda, and mid term polls are only ever against the incumbent government anyway. IGNORE THEM.

Australian PM Anthony Albanese continues to amaze me with his political intelligence. He and his treasurer have managed to take on the holy sacrament of actual fair economic reform, that has destroyed and terrified Labor for so many years and won. The timing - with zero effective opposition, is perfection. Finally John Howard's way of life destroying era of tax breaks to help those who already had, seeing the birthright of owning your own home vanish for half the country, are finally, bravely being addressed.

A 68 year old man in Sydney has been charge with wearing a swastika t-shirt, in front of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism. In the past this would have been a Neo-Nazi, but this seems to have (unconfirmed but more likely) been a Palestinian supporter. Given the supporters of Israel are going to great extremes to re-define this once sacrosanct word to mean any criticism of Israeli policies, military action, Zionism and even Benjamin Netanyahu - have they now destroyed the word and made it a badge of honour?

After the atrocious but expected Labour performance in the recent council elections, laid bare even the Labour voter's disdain for this feckless, spineless, judgementaly challenged faux Tory Blairite Zionist, he is toast. But as he and his gang expelled all true Labour people from the party, he's left us with no one not like him to replace him.
