On our own behalf: Why journalism is not a conspiracy theory and Multipolar is not a “right-wing” magazine The RKI protocols that Multipolar sued for have triggered a broad political debate about coming to terms with the Corona period.

Pampered hernia patient Netanyahu is ultimately responsible for the destruction of more of the planet’s hospitals than anyone since the bombing of Hamburg during the Second World War. Normally, one would feel at least some, if not in fact quite a lot, of sympathy, for a gentleman of a certain age who has to go to hospital to have a hernia operation.

There’s a Japanese place down the hill from us that I eat at only occasionally because there’s another Japanese place even closer that’s cheaper. But it was closed over the Easter weekend, so I went to the spendy place and decided I’d have something other than sushi or sashimi (or chicken katsu curry). Ended up ordering this bad boy.

The count is nearing the end, with Clark and Franklin finishing their count today. Quite a few candidates reached quotas today, with most of the unclear races now resolved. It now looks likely that Craig Garland will defeat Liberal Giovanna Simpson for the final seat in Braddon, leaving the government with just 14 seats. It also seems clear that Simon Wood will defeat Julie Sladden for the third Liberal seat in Bass, with no more Liberal votes to be distributed. |
