Day 51 of MUC and day 4 of MOC, and the pond contemplates CSM and the SOM - sense of entitlement - thanks to the reptiles and Dame Slap ...

You can barely imagine the fright the pond had ... the palpable sense of Kafka-ish nightmare ... the sense of loss and doom ... the hovering menace of digital oblivion ...


But worst of all ...


No reptiles! No Dame Slap! Vanished into the digital ether ... and with some bloody 500 error as a vague explanation.

Even worse, the pond had caught a piece of that charming nostalgia piece with Sandra Bullock, The Net, the very night before, with its advanced technology featured ...



Eek, it's in the disc!

And was it only a coincidence that Silicon Valley had opened its third season's third episode with images of the mole people?






But slowly it dawned on the pond.

This had to be the reptiles most elaborate warning to date of the dangers of centralised government!

They'd introduced a CMS which rounded up all their titles and put them in the one place, so that when there was a failure, it would be catastrophic and system wide ...

Is there any better metaphor for Canberra and federal government and fat cats in cardigans?

Or even worse, the mole people they discovered in Silicon Valley running the whole damn thing?

Point made, the reptiles returned their services to the grateful pond.

Where would we be without the reptiles? Reading some damn fool nonsense about climate science no doubt ...


Speaking of greenies, the Daily Terror takes a stand this day ...


But the pond is no longer inner west, it's been moved helter skelter into the grand electorate of Sydney. No more the hipster, at one with the big end of town ... sorry Albo, you're on your own with the Terror by your side ...

Meanwhile, there are signs that the reptiles are already bored with the campaign ... with the Currish Snail torn between splashing the cash and comical jihadists in a tinnie ...


In the old days that cash splasher would have been front and centre, and forget the fundamentalists ...

Is it any wonder that after all this trauma the pond turned to the reptiles of Oz and a safe pair of hands?


Yes, the reptiles were in fine satirical form, and there was Dame Slap at the top of the digital page where she belonged ...


So much for the backdoor program and fiendish conspiracy theories bringing down the full to overflowing 1995 intertubes in The Net ... the reptiles were back with a song about the year 2525 ...

Naturally the pond had to go with Dame Slap ...

Let's face it, there's far too much of a sense of entitlement doing the rounds ...

Why there's Coalition faces IPA campaign against 'unfair' superannuation plans, with the sort of forced video you'd expect from a far too lavishly paid management busy sacking as many Fairfaxians as they can ...


Damn you, entitled IPA, and your fat cat ways ... you've got it all wrong ...


Pure Turnbull!


Soapier soap ... or so the pond thought, until ...


More Chinese arithmetic at the New Daily here and that link to the IPA story is here ... 

Thank the infinite long absent lord that we have a Dame Slap standing by to ignore the story of the day ... the fear campaigning by the IPA ...


Indeed, indeed. Dame Slap only had to remind the pond of the tremendous success of the NBN under Malware to swing the pond back onside ...

And so to the final rhetorical flourish in a fine piece of hagiography ...


Indeed, indeed, and the pond has to thank Dame Slap for pointing out how the nation, courtesy the fat cats at the IPA, has reached an inflection point.

The incidence of the entitlement disease is everywhere to be seen, and never more clearly than in the current IPA campaign ... and so voters now have to decide whether to choose Turnbull's superhighway to taxation or the IPA's potholed role to entitlement ...

As for that other story?

Global warming milestone about to be passed and there's no going back ... (with forced Greenpeace video, as to be expected from the increasingly desperate fat cat Fairfax management)...

Perhaps that's what inspired a pond reader kindly to forward this assessment of Malware, seen outside Central Station yesterday ...
