I’m watching Line of Fire on HBO Max. It is absolutely ridiculous! It’s about a family who are all in law enforcement-CIA FBI Secret Service & US Marshals. One plot has jurors in a Grand Jury being bribed & threatened to stop them hearing a case! What dumbarse thinks that will stop it being heard?

About one third of claimed carbon capture just dumped secretly into the atmosphere by chevron

Climate disaster keeps disastering: Satellite monitoring has detected massive plumes of methane pouring from Chevron's Gorgon LNG plant in Western Australia. (This is the one connected to the world’s biggest carbon capture and storage project WHIICH IS ALSO FAILING) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

So many men trying to say the attack on Helen Haines is about politics not male violence. An angry man attacked a woman repeatedly with his car. Whatever the original motive was that is how he responded - with violence.

They want you to think that measles is a mild childhood illness. I ended up in hospital in an oxygen tent with measle related bilateral pneumonia as a toddler. I survived but my mother said she didn't think I would. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In good news... Mark Latham’s attempt to appeal his defamation loss to Alex Greenwich has been refused by the High Court.... "with costs"

While 300,000 tonnes sounds massive, the math highlights how quickly the massive U.S. economy burns through energy: • 300,000 tonnes ≈ 93 million gallons / 2.2 million barrels • U.S. Daily Diesel Consumption ≈ 160–170 million gallons / 3.7–3.8 million barrels. www.bbc.com/news/article...

bbc.comTrump announces deal for Russian diesel as Zelensky criticises 'gift to Putin'Ukraine's president said allowing Russia to sell petroleum products would prolong a war that must be ended.

So, not even a day's worth of fuel for the first tranche. Even when Russia delivers the full scope of the promised 4.8 million tonnes over subsequent months, that entire multi-million tonne supply would satisfy total U.S. consumption for only about 9 to 10 days.

A case of ask forgiveness rather than permission?

Every suburb in Sydney claims they're unique in their battle against increased development. But the residents of Castlecrag have really jumped the shark. They claim their suburb was designed by Burley Griffin & "people come here from all around the globe to see it." www.smh.com.au/property/new...
