Time to Stare Down the Political Pipers

Time to Stare Down the Political Pipers

Over the weekend I was reading an article from Reclaim the Net about the revelations that the Biden White House worked hand in glove with Facebook to demonise and destroy what they described as the “Disinformation Dozen”. It was fascinating: Calling somebody a member of the “Disinformation Dozen” – there’s

Do You Want the Narratives of Aus History or the Facts? Pt 1.

Academic historians are an odd bunch. Especially in Australia. They’re all too ready to write up fairy-stories and garbled oral legends as “history”, but not much interested, it seems, in actual, documented, primary sources.

The World’s First Fry Cook?

In his A Short History of the World, Geoffrey Blainey writes that the ability to make and use fire was “the most useful tool possessed by the human race until recent times”. For all it’s astonishing usefulness, though, fire came to the human toolkit surprisingly late. Humans – or our

They Deserve to Be Replaced by AI

G/O Media, owner of clickbait sites “news” like Gizmodo, Jezebel and The Root recently came up with a unique response to a strike by its writers: it announced mass layoffs and writers to be replaced by AI Chatbots. To which wags responded: “How will we tell the difference?” It’

He Who Shall Not Be Named

If you’re an Australian of a certain age, you’ll remember when Queensland was a byword for corruption and police brutality. But the “Moonlight State” has long been left in the shade by Dandrewstan, Victoria. As we saw during the anti-lockdown protests, Victoria Police have got the whole brutality

When Heather du Plessis-Allan laughed in the face of a spoilt-brat “Climate Striker”, she was only saying out loud what we all know: these people are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet. It’s impossible, after all, not to notice just how selective the Climate Cult’s
