So the United States has finally caught the Taliban bus, and there will be more Talibanisation down the road, as the country implodes under the weight of News Corp inspired stupidity ...
It was too early for the reptiles down under to craft a response and a justification, and it will no doubt come in time, but never mind, this day, the dog botherer got off to a wonderful start ... by demonising love ...
Yep, suddenly "love", or "luv" if youse will, is a new form of demonisation and abuse ...
The pond appreciates that the dog botherer is trying on a new angle, because "woke media" has become a tiresome and tedious refrain, but "love media" as a form of abuse?
Really? What's love got to do with it? Oh sure it's a second hand emotion, and who needs a heart when a heart can be broken, but surely this is peak dog botherer stupidity?
At the same time, the pond did enjoy supping on the dog botherer's seething resentment, anger, hate, fear and loathing ...
See how the dog botherer takes on the role of a comic book superhero, twirling his dastardly moustache (well he can't really fondle his locks), shouting there'll come a day, and revenge will be mine, and the apocalypse is just around the corner, and there'll be a humbling and a stumbling, and so on and so forth ... but did he have to dress it up as the politics of hate? What's love got to do with it?
It's just the usual spurt of climate denialism, accompanied by splendid memories of not being able to hold a hose, but what's love got to do with it?
The pond couldn't resist slipping in that piece from the lurve media, with more at the Graudian
here ...
Now back to the agitated, aggravated dog botherer, kicking the poodle down the road ... oh yes, there's going to be a hard rain of hate gunna fall ...
Um, actually this very morning the pond woke to news of new variants, and likely dangers to health and the hospital system this winter, because viruses don't really care what the dog botherer or Killer Kreighton thinks ... but the pond will sup on the tears of a dog botherer still ranting about climate catastrophists, when catastrophe is all around for anyone with an eye on the news ...
You'll have to
head off to the lurve media for the nifty then and now graphic, while the pond sups on a final gobbet of tears and revenge fantasies ...
Climate extremists, climate gestures, hate love, pain and the whole damn thing, but it's a nice segue to the usual Bjorn-again offering ...
Ah the dastardly windmills of the satanic mind yet again featured at the top of a reptile climate piece, but the pond has to say it was shattered.
Usually the pond plays the game of waiting for the big payoff, when the Bjorn-again one will scribble for the umpteenth time ...Climate change will not be solved by making fossil energy unaffordable, but by innovating down the price of green technologies so everyone will be able to switch.
But there it was, right beneath the satanic windmills at the get go, right with "innovating", an innovating approach to innovating the English language, so all the pond could do was wait for the rinse and repeat ... starting with a sublime shot of suburbia, apparently in France ...
Sorry, sorry, it seems that snap is just one the reptiles trot out whenever the climate or energy or whatever gets a mention ...
Hope you're getting royalties Jeremy. Now have you thought of doing a snap featuring petrol prices?
The pond should note that nowhere else in the world is attention paid to the Bjorn-again one compared to the loyalty and devotion shown the lizard Oz, as he endlessly blathers about innovation as the fix to fix it all. So far he's been innovating about innovation for decades, with sweet fuck all by way of innovation to show for it ...
But enough of the pond interruptions, it's on with the usual delusion, and the repeat and rinse the pond had been waiting for so patiently ...
And so to the lengthy bonus of the day, and usually it would be nattering "Ned", but when the bromancer is on hand, how can the pond resist?
The bromancer will do his very best both siderist, a pox on both their houses routine, while gently putting thumb on scales for GOP, and the pond will seize on the chance to interrupt with a few cartoons ... that's the way of it ...
Now on with the bromancer ...
Yes, yes, it's getting down with the Taliban, and learning to love guns and the killing fields, and all that jazz ...
Trump's agenda? Trump has an agenda, as opposed to the narcissist desire to be the centre of attention and to pander to any lobby which will show him the lurve ... you know the Fox News lurve machine,no matter the nonsense involved ...
Okay, okay, but the pond is really only hanging in so it can get a quintessential bromancer analysis of the "this is pure distilled essence of nuttery" kind ... because the bromancer is something of an expert on nuts, with a few nuts in the old noggin himself ...
Oh indeed, fight like hell ...
And so at last to the nuttery ...
Is this the point when the pond should remind the bromancer his kissing cousins across the Pacific helped with the distilled essence of nuttery? Talk about an endless parade of pure nuttery ...
Sorry, sorry, the pond just loves nuts with the odd raisin and sultana in the mix ...
But be fair ... his good work will live on with the needless deaths of thousands of Americans ... and News Corp surely deserves some credit for being such a good supporter ...
And that leaves just two gobbets to go, and at last the bromancer mentions the banning of abortions as the chance for a new coat hanger inspired killing field ...
And never mind the abortion service providers shot, banned, bombed and now up on criminal charges should they dare to help a raped woman, or the victim of incest, terminate a pregnancy ... go on, eat that fundamentalist apple ... the bromancer loves his Xian persecution routine ...
And so to the last gobbet ...
Who'd want to be a young woman in America, facing issues of sex, contraception, pregnancy and such like? And who is deluded enough to think that SSM won't be one of the next items on the agenda? And who would want to be living in a fantasy land where the law of the land is the rule of the .303 (the pond thought it would slip that one in for devotees of vigilante justice and 'Breaker' Morant).
But this day the pond learned that it must hate love and hate being woke, and true, it woke to the news that the Stepford wives are now living out the Handmaid's Tale ...
And in celebration, the Rowe of the day ...
*whew* - that’s one damn impressive projectile-vomit of bile from the Botherer!
ReplyDeleteI wonder - has it been gradually building up since 21 May, with the pressure finally proving impossible to contain? Or has it been set off by by frustration at his inability to persuade anyone associated with the ABC, past or present, to participate in his upcoming “documentary” on the broadcaster?
Whatever the cause, his spew was a delight to read, and has given us the wonderful term “love media”. It seems apt for non-Rupert media, because if there’s one emotion lacking at News Corp, it’s love. The Bromancer May be an exception but in his case, it’s a particularly “Tainted Love”.
Yes he relly does despise all these politicians being 'nice', doesn't he?
DeleteAh tainted love ... you know how to give the pond a buzz ...
DeleteOnce I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love (oh)
He is as dogged as an under-achiever can be. Nothing stops him when he's getting it wrong. Why only this week when his ABC targets inside the Andrew Olle lecture were un-willing to speak to him, he set up camp OUTSIDE the media event and ambushed people as they left - shades of A Current Affair here. Awful Avi Yemini areas in that scenario :(
DeleteAnd only last week, Jon Faine in the Nein papers towelled him up coolly and logically. For those who missed the hijinks, please, enjoy here: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/the-surprising-offer-from-sky-news-that-i-had-to-refuse-20220616-p5aucf.html
"...'woke media' has become a tiresome and tedious refrain." Being "tiresome and tedious" has never stopped them, or even mildly restrained them, before, rather it inspires them to become even more so - especially the Doggy Bov.
ReplyDelete‘Researchers for Copenhagen Consensus, including three Nobel laureate economists, have shown that the most effective climate policy possible is to [ delete 'increase green R&D spending fivefold to $US100bn a year’] 'get full fusion generation up next year.’ There - fixed.
ReplyDeleteThat saves waving about hints of ‘fourth generation’, for which current predictions are for ‘commercial’ operations around 2040-50, and we have a fair idea how reliable any prediction on nuclear power technology might be.
So, while we are in wishing mode (and add a few ponies to the list) just wish for a stupendous leap with fusion - it is about as likely as useful CO2 extraction or what we can see of ‘second-generation’ biofuels - which usually requires rediscovery of some hitherto ignored algal cell. The annual conference of the professional marine science body of which I am a member still, is less inclined now to accept papers from PhD candidates who merrily project what happens in their flasks to supplementing ‘NuFood’ in handy tablet form (acknowledge Bill Tidy and ‘Grimbledown Down’) - or otherwise confound the known dynamics of biochemistry.
Bjørn and his Nobel mates do seem to be taken with the concept of ‘generations’ - I guess it allows a sense of progress, even where none is immediately evident.
I dunno, Chad; homo saps saps has had around 7000 generations, and we're basically still as silly and stupid as we were back about 200,000 years ago when we first appeared. All those generations don't seem to have done us much good.
DeleteGB - I suspect Bjørn and his buddies want us to think of 'generations' in technology like 'orders of magnitude'. We recall the revelation from that greatest physicist never to win a Nobel Prize, Prue McSween, of two months back about the Australian group - ‘HB11 Energy’s research demonstrated that its hydrogen-boron energy technology is now 4 orders of magnitude away from achieving net energy gain when catalysed by a laser.’
DeleteWell I suppose we might have had some of those 'generations', Chad: like developing advanced language, adding writing to our language (and especially alphabets) and domesticating the chicken, the cow and the horse. And I guess creating mathematics and science to that list might qualify. But we've had a few seriously backward leaps too.
DeleteHi Dorothy,
ReplyDelete“When we run out of power here and there, I expect the interruptions will not be known as blackouts, but green-outs.”
One of Kenny’s worst self-delusions is that he considers himself quite the wit.
However he might have wanted to google “green-out” first as according to the vulgar youth;
“A green out is a cannabis induced physiological or psychological panic attack. Symptoms include sweating, nausea, heart palpitations, hypervigilance, paranoia, and the fear or feeling that you might be dying or about to die.”
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=green%20out
Then again we don’t know what the Dog Botherer may have been smoking and these symptoms seem to be on display by the reptiles on a daily basis. Maybe there really is something in the kool-aid.
Thanks for the memory of "Rule 303", Dorothy: https://youtu.be/FbMWX73XNDk?t=48
ReplyDeleteRelevant to Killer's rant yesterday - "How COVID has deepened inequality — in six stark graphics" https://www.nature.com/immersive/d41586-022-01647-6/index.html
ReplyDeleteI think this says a whole lot about wingnuts and reptiles; from the Boverer: "If we see savage bushfires this summer, another drought, more floods or even cyclones in the tropical north, it is unlikely they will be blamed on the Prime Minister or other members of his government." Now according to that fine English playwright and poet John Heywood (1497-1580) "There are none so blind as those who will not see". Or, if you prefer a touch of piety, how about Jeremiah 5:21: ‘Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not’.
ReplyDeleteOnly a complete loose goose like the Doggy Bov would not be able to understand that $loMo was not held personally responsible for the bushfires etc., but for his dismissive, casual "I don't hold a hose" response to them. And for refusing, or being unable, to understand that the effects of climate change are coming increasingly upon us.
Acting in the role of being "a disease pretending to be a cure", I'd note that Doggy Bov does a lot of "projecting": he always blames any and every one else for whatever goes wrong - nothing is ever his fault. So he projects this onto the rest of the world, and in particular on to his sworn enemies, the "woke green lefties" - mostly the ABC, .the Guardian and the Nein [ :-) vc ] media.
But does he believe a word of it, or is it just 'tactical attack verbiage' of which the reptiles produce copious amounts ? Well, consider this from Doggy Bov: "In this environment all Peter Dutton and the Coalition need to do is offer a rational, practical alternative, devoid of policy delusion or ideology ...". And you'd have to be parsecs off the planet to believe that "Peter Dutton and the Coalition" can do any of that, and we have 9 years of 'Coalition' to prove it.
Bjornagain: "We didn't solve air pollution by forcing everyone to stop driving, but by inventing the catalytic converter..." Actually, Bjorny, we didn't "solve air pollution" at all, we just reduced it in some places. But not all, not even close:
ReplyDeleteIndia And China Both Struggle With Deadly Pollution -- But Only One Fights It
"India tops the world in pollution-related deaths, accounting for 2.5 million of the total 9 million deaths attributed to pollution worldwide in 2015, according to a recent report by the Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health. China was second on the list, with 1.8 million total fatalities due to pollution.
The primary cause is air pollution."

But here in Australia, we are doing our bit research-wise:

Really a quite astounding effort by the Bromancer, wasn't it. Very much like a long 'Gish Gallop', full of lies and exaggerations that would take a lot of time and effort to effectively refute. And it being the Bromancer, I don't think anybody will bother.
ReplyDeleteBut all of the local reptiles are quite insistent on making no mention whatsoever of their connection to the Faux Noise lie and bullshit factory, aren't they.
