‘RAIN supreme’ was the witty motto quipped and adopted by the Mid North Coast Hot Rod Club (MNCHR) during the club’s 23rd annual ‘Lazy Winter Run’ in Woolgoolga last weekend. It was a solidly wet weekend for the club’s major event of the year, but not even torrential rain could take away from the colour...

As an increasing number of countries move to recognise Palestine and welcome its U.N. membership, the Israel lobby is being hit by a pincer movement. On the one side, American voters, especially young American voters, are aghast at Israel’s brutality. On the other side, America’s geopolitical position is crumbling. We owe an ironic debt of Continue reading »

Jewish students in Western countries are increasingly facing forms of transnational repression from vigilante groups linked to the repressive Israeli state. These groups are allegedly using violence and intimidation on university campuses in coordinated strategies to curtail freedom of speech.

Moscow would have us believe it is fighting a life and death struggle in the muddy trenches of Donbas. But what do we get to see on the inauguration of its president? Glittering gold chambers and goose-stepping soldiers. No doubt there is some deep cultural reason for this ostentation – something along the line that Continue reading »
Some readers will remember the Polly Waffle snack bar. This favourite was a hollow crunchy biscuit tube, coated with chocolate and filled with fluffy marshmallow. After a significant break in production, the Polly Waffle has been re-introduced to the Australian market. Many of us waited with bated tastebuds to sample the resurrected Polly Waffle. It’s Continue reading »
Under-funding is not the main reason for the crisis in Australia’s public hospitals. A far bigger problem is systemic stupidity. Before the pandemic, Tasmania’s public hospital system was the nation’s standout basket case. But the malaise, rather like a virulent infectious disease, has spread. Now every state has the same scandals: critically ill patients waiting Continue reading »

Titled Continue reading »
I sometimes see people expressing bafflement that the US would back a genocide in the middle east knowing that it will radicalise the region against them, mistakenly thinking this goes against US strategic goals.

Plus, a suicide crisis in college sports, and a graph that shows today’s legacy of the financial crisis.
Hello, Architectural Digest. I am an A-list celebrity who has agreed to show millions of people the inside of my home—an intimate place that few eyes have ever seen… except this isn’t my home, because I don’t actually live here. In this episode of Open Door, I will give you a tour of a giant estate that I own but have never visited until today. Watch me pretend that I had any input on the decor while my interior designer stands behind the camera and tells me what to say.
This foyer was modeled after the French provincial style and reveals zero meaningful details about me. While most entryways have shoes, coats, dust, and other visible signs of life, mine does not. My architect accomplished the incredible feat of making this room feel completely lifeless. If you look closely, you’ll see inspiration from both Claude Perrault and sensory deprivation chambers.

Trump has been taunting Biden to debate repeatedly saying, “anytime, anywhere.” Now his minions and mouthpieces are having a little meltdown because Biden accepted: The first debate is set for next month on CNN, while the second is planned for September on ABC. Though the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee has also pushed for a Fox News debate, the Democratic incumbent hasn’t agreed to that ― and the network’s hosts are in meltdown mode as a result. Sean Hannity criticized CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is set to be one of the debate moderators, by calling him a “radical left-wing partisan.” Hannity demanded that moderators’ mics get cut off after asking Trump questions, and he also launched into some wild conspiracy theories about Biden. He claimed that Biden will take a “heavy dose” of “whatever he took before the State of the Union” address to win the debates. He further suggested that Biden is “secretly” trying to get out of the debates.
