Once upon a midday dreary, while I scrolled on, bummed and teary,
Over many a short and spurious video of current cultural lore—
While I blinked on, nearly napping, suddenly there came a trapping,
In the form of someone boldly capping, capping on my #fyp tour.
“’Tis some new #tiktoker,” I muttered, “capping on my #fyp tour—
Only this, and nothing more.”
Oh, bestie I can say it was not the brightest and shiniest day,
And I drew my curtains all the way, my own writings seemed a chore.
Desperately I watched with sorrow;—procrastinating till the morrow
All the trends they borrow—borrow for their follower core—
Imploring viewers with overstuffed closets full of things they never wore—
To shop their Amazon store.
And living rent-free in my head were the skits that left me dead—
Sending me, with POVs and with spilled teas never heard before;
So that now, as I sat wiping on my throne, I kept on swiping.
Now a lumberjack with nip nops out diligently worked his core—
Then a sneaky link pick-me girl stood attacking an enlarged pore;—
Lip-syncing her contour.
The Lunar New Year comes early in 2023, and the incoming Year of the Rabbit offers possibilities of significant changes in personal and national fortunes. Those responsible for formulating Australia’s China policy are advised to watch developments carefully and be flexible in their responses.

The implications for the AUKUS security pact were always going to be grave, significant, and unnecessary. It further subordinated Australia to participating in future conflicts; it has brought into question Australia’s own already whittled down sovereignty; and it has also raised the spectre of regional nuclear proliferation. The other feature of this whole enterprise, as Continue reading »

Richard Barnes laments the wilful blindness of many elites who go snow skiing while turning a blind eye to the causes of the high country’s dying landscape. Barnes says he mostly agrees with author Jeff Sparrow that the current economic system is to blame. Let me count the ways. This list of the top-10 errors Continue reading »
The labelling of people as ‘extremists’ or ‘radicals’ – as abolitionists and women’s suffrage advocates were once called – is determined not by the soundness of the views expressed, but by the relative scarcity of the people expressing them in proportion to the amount of people holding different views in the ‘sensible centre’. Given the Continue reading »
The curtain is coming down on the brutal 11-year old Syrian conflict, which former US President and Nobel Laureate Barack Obama initiated, as the Arab Spring swept through West Asia two decades ago.

Oh really? CNN: Newly unsealed transcripts from Donald Trump’s deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case show that the former president mistook Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a photo. The transcripts show that during his October 2022 deposition, Trump was shown a black and white photo where he is interacting with several people, including with his then-wife Ivana, Carroll and her then-husband. “I don’t know who – it’s Marla,” Trump said when shown the photo. “That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife,” he says when asked to clarify. Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, then interjected and said “no, that’s Carroll,” according to the transcript. I’ll just leave this here:

Growing consolidation in localized hospital markets appears to restrict nurse wage growth
Rolling waves of consolidation have significantly decreased the number of hospital systems in the U.S., leading to dominant regional systems. Increased concentration potentially affects industry quality, prices, efficiency, wages, and more. Much of the consolidation research is focused on merger events and estimating effects on the merged entities. In contrast, our new working paper is not based simply on merger data but takes account of the overall increase in consolidation across the country without respect to cause.
Zionists, whether ‘political’ like Hertzl or ‘Spiritual ’ Ha’am’ - and now Netanyahu and Ben Gvir - have all used the Jewish religion to achieve the same end, colonizing all historic Palestine and ethnically cleansing its native population.

The low expectations of soft majorities The GOP’s psych profile fits a certain… “moral flexibility,” as Martin Q. Blank once put it. Republicans once had rules they enforced about behaviors by their members that brought disrepute to the caucus. Actually, they were more like guidelines, as Dr. Peter Venkman once put it. Steve Benen highlights the history of Republicans’ flexibility in light of the cascade of lies told by freshman Rep. George Santos (if that is his name) of New York. Seriously, the man allegedly scammed $3,000 he’d raised on Go Fund Me page for cancer treatment for the service dog of a disabled, homeless veteran. (The dog died.) He lied about his mother working in the World Trade Towers on 9/11. (She was in Brazil.) The rest of his resume is fabricated. Is he even a U.S. citizen? If so, under what name? Kevin the Spineless just awarded George Santos/Devolder/Zabrovsky committee assignments, arguing that 1) Santos (if that is his name) was duly elected, 2) he may be under investigation but hasn’t been formally charged, and 3) disciplining Santos (if that is his name) is up to the Ethics Committee. How low can the GOP go?

On a scale of one to ten, COP15—the UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal last month—was a solid five. That may not sound like a ringing endorsement, but it represents significant progress from prior COPs, which dabbled along in the one or two range for the better part of three decades. The progress was evident from the start, when UN Secretary General António Guterres kicked off the conference by noting,
