Some years ago, in my previous life as a graphic designer, I was tasked with preparing a website for a client who ran a male escort agency. It was all very tasteful stuff — the client made clear that their’s wasn’t some kind of sleazy Grindr knockoff. In fact,
Whenever the legacy media and climate alarmists prattle about “record temperatures”, they rarely bother to qualify their hysteria. Understandably, really: because they’re invariably talking about differences in the tenths, if not hundredths of degrees. After all, who’s going to be overly panicked if the media were to truthfully
Hoo, boy: they sure breed ’em different in the the Greens. Just days after ex-Green Lidia Thorpe’s racist, sexist tirade outside a Melbourne strip club, it emerges that the Greens are knowingly harbouring a pro-Nazi pedophile and incest sympathiser. As the NZ legacy media yet again launch a jihad
H G Wells was no doubt a pretty smart fellow. He was especially knowledgeable about history, which is why his science fiction was so often prescient. Yet, Wells was also in many ways a living endorsement of Orwell’s observation that intelligent people could often believe very stupid things. After
Here’s the funniest headline you’ll read all week: “IBAC delivers blow to Daniel Andrews’ integrity”. The joke, of course, is pretending that Andrews had any integrity in the first place. The biggest clown in this whole circus is Dictator Dan himself, strutting about and pretending that an “educational
Well, it only took them over three days, but finally the ABC has run one — count it! One! — piece on Lidia Thorpe’s strip club scrag fight. And, just as I joked, they only did it once they’d figured out a way to make her the victim. Prime Minister

I wonder if the ABC will cover the story, now? For two days, the Australian media have been all over the story of a high-profile senator being ejected and banned from a Melbourne strip club, after launching a racist tirade. The Australian media… with one very notable exception. Two days
I’ve asked it before, and I’ll ask it again: why are the Greens a magnet for the most toxic people on Earth? If politics is show biz for ugly people, then the Greens are a grubby, 8mm peepshow loop in a dive strip joint. The past few years
As your Sole Sources of Truth kept telling you, loudly and unequivocally, the Covid vaccines were absolutely safe. Any reports of alarming side effects were just harmful misinformation. Just ignore all those people waiting for compensation for Covid vaccine injuries. Thousands of people are still waiting to learn whether they
As polls by the likes of Ipsos and even the UN regularly show, the global elite are completely out of touch with ordinary citizens. More than at perhaps any time since Marie Antoinette wondered what all those filthy peasants were complaining about, the rich and powerful, and their media lapdogs,
“Will no-one think of the Groomers?” wails Melbourne’s bastion of Establishment Leftism, the Age. For BFD readers, imagine if RNZ and the Spinoff had a baby newspaper. Picture the sort of newspaper that people in Grey Lynn or Ponsonby would read, if the Guardian mercifully folded. It will surprise
“The problem with socialism”, as Margaret Thatcher so famously said, “is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” The socialist state of Victoria doesn’t see any such problem. Mainly because there’s always hundreds of billions of dollars of other Australians’ money to bail them out
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the left are low-information dogmatists. They will furiously deny plain facts, if the facts contradict their dogmas. Not just because they’re bigots, but because they’re so thoroughly ignorant. When the left deny well-established scientific facts on lockdowns
There are a number of simple logical tests, mental back-of-the-envelope calculations, you can perform to quickly sort the rhetorical wheat from chaff. When it comes to race-baiting arguments, one of the most cutting is to simply swap out the groups in question. For instance, when Candace Owen replaced “white people”
Arts-nobbling catfights are almost always pass-the-popcorn entertainment. Not least because they end up exposing only the sheer vacuity, simple-minded greed, and schoolgirl-bitchiness of the pseudo-intellectual elite. A great case in point was the “Demidenko Affair”. Although the putative expose of the affair was a young Helen Dale pretending to be
