This is where I hold forth (as they say) on all sorts of stuff going on around the planet.
News in the “supermarkets skinning shoppers scandal” I’ve been mentioning (This most recent post has links to many earlier ones) it’s not a huge scoop The TEdASPHERE Globe’s presenting here. Just that more and more industry organisations are coming forward with complaints and claims against the duopoly that Australia are calling “Colesworth,” but these days…
Michael Mosley’s recent passing from what has tentatively been attributed to heat stress highlights something that will become a deadly factor in daily life and is already tipping into being very concerning to our lives. The thing with heat stress is that it’s insidious. It sneaks up on you. You’re on a walk that starts…

And if so, you’re probably also used to seeing this pop-up on some websites: That despite the fact that you’re not using an ad-blocker – which is another whole kettle of fish. Or so you’d…
I said recently that we need more and younger ideas – ideas generated from the young population, political, ecological, sustainability ideas. But we also need far more off-the-wall ideas. Far too many “innovators” are thinking inside the box and getting nowhere. Hi. Today’s Zen Cookbook Idea is that we’re becoming a bit too settled again….
No, not those supermarkets, the one I actually tolerate and feel quite loyal towards. But First – Breaking News! There’s a hint of deja vu on the air. Once again, the Supermarkets Skinning Shoppers Saga moves faster than my publishing schedule. This article was scheduled for July 30th and now here I am rushing to…
Whales congregating in unprecedented numbers, but we don’t know if that’s normal after almost hunting them to extinction. Because we’ve never had the science to do that back then, before we you know, hunted them to the point of near-extinction… We really are a planetary parasite. But now, we have science. We should be using…
Have you really thought about how human life in general works? We have some strange mechanisms at work… One thing we seem to be completely blind on is the role that young people played – and should still play – in all decisions and activities. I’ll get back to this, it’s the main point of…
After a being jeered, booed, and heckled at a rally last week, it looks like he’s being abandoned by Melania and Ivanka at his trial now. He’s been charged for a range of crimes, is (poorly) defending a whole raft of other charges any of which will end in jail time, takes (and is no…
I posted an article recently. If you’ve had your eye out for it, Australia only really has two supermarket chains, and they’ve formed a bit of a duopoly and raised prices 2x to 4x in the last few years. This has had Aussies forced to either eat far more frugally (read: “starving students have nothing…
Drinks like a fish, flops about like a fish, has a decided enmity for any shapely carp that crosses his path. Perhaps he’s had a chance encounter end in disaster in the past? Wouldn’t put it past this shagmeister. Or perhaps he thought he was merely fondling a trevally. (Sorry – you have to sit through a whole…
