@dailytelegraph national affairs editor, @skynewsaust Outsiders & US Report … just trying to have a little fun, folks.
My take on last night: "Compared with Labor, who ran a brutally cynical campaign to cement themselves in power using every lever of government largesse, the Liberal Party appears to have forgotten its reason for being and who it is supposed to represent." dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/…
The central problem with the Albanese government's foreign policy is its moral bankruptcy, which means it is tough on the US and Israel but makes excuses for Hamas and Beijing. More below ... dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/w…
Seems like something that could come in handy in outback Australia
"Japan has deployed the Yoroi Reactor, a sealed, shipping container-sized microreactor, in remote communities... Using molten salt cooling and low-enriched uranium, the reactor features passive safety systems and no meltdown risk. Two units are already operational in Hokkaido."
Elite universities are going to start using peer-scored civility ratings for admissions?! Sorry, that’s a terrible idea. Why not just admit people based on their scores and then teach them to debate and dialogue? You don’t need to go full CCP to solve this problem.
Remember when I told you Sal Khan was evil? I didn't know the half of it! Meet the Civility Score, courtesy of Khan's "Dialogues." Get your kids used to having a social credit score, and make sure they understand their highest value should be the opinion of their peers! What…
Analysis: "All China’s supreme leader and “chairman of everything” Xi Jinping had to do was put on a couple of banquets and bring in a cover band to play some old Aussie songs and all of a sudden we’re good buddies with Beijing." dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/p…
BREAKING: Pauline Hanson to move anti-net zero motion in the Senate Monday, labels any Coalition member who abstains a “coward” dailytelegraph.com.au/news/cowards-p…
A very plausible--indeed highly likely--hypothesis. Therapeutic culture (aka "mental health awareness") has run amok with iatrogenic consequences. The petulance in our universities is one consequence.
A bricks and mortar memorial to the demoralisation of the Obama era.
Obama’s Presidential Library is rivaling Boston City Hall and the J. Edgar Hoover Building for the title of America’s ugliest building.
This is also the Peter Turchin elite overproduction thing (which I suspect drives a lot of Zohran’s hipster Brooklyn support)…
Downwardly mobile elites fuel social justice movements: press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…
Notorious hotel room-trasher Hunter Biden raging that we need illegal aliens to clean hotel rooms is really quite something.
This whole interview is making me rethink. Hunter is so measured and mature, there's no way he's the kind of guy who would leave his laptop at a repair shop in 2019.
The 747 especially in its early variants was and remains one of the most gorgeous things America ever created, right up there with the dry martini.
The Boeing 747SP was a beautiful aircraft & have so many happy childhood/youthful memories of the Qantas SP esp its rapid take off and climb.
Great analysis of China's unemployment and overproduction problems here from Maurice Newman, just as Labor seeks to tie Australia's economic fortunes more closely with Beijing. dailytelegraph.com.au/news/behind-th…
I absolutely respect a pope with a STEM background saying “you know what? I like the space program, I’ve always wanted to talk to an Apollo 11 astronaut, and I’m the pope, SO LETS GO”
NEW: Pope Leo had a Zoom meeting with Buzz Aldrin to honor the 56th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
Because children’s books went from this to this

But without Colbert how will rural America gets its comedy now? It will become a comedy desert!
Fantastic. And a riposte to those who say other cities (Sydney!) can’t maintain their built vernacular.
Dresden. Every building pictured dates from the last twenty years, the result of a 2002 municipal referendum in which the city decisively voted in favour of reconstructing its historic centre.
