Jack Cousens, the AA’s head of roads policy, said the animals may be attracted to the soy-based insulation on brake wires.
Anyone got ‘Wildlife munching car parts’ on their bingo card for 2024?

I like this Jimmy Dore fellow.
I’ve watched enough of his segments to know that there are things we wouldn’t agree on, but as far as the covid crapshow is concerned, we’re on the same page.
Watch as Jimmy sticks it up Chris Cuomo. Sideways.

Australian truth bombs.
The local MSM has fallen into line with Canberra. The video footage of the attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel is too shocking and graphic for Australians to see.
Remarkably, Tracey Holmes calls them out.
Have you watched the 7pm news every night? And we see what’s happening in Israel and Gaza? Seriously? We’re not blocking that, are we? How horrendous is that?
This is remarkable because Ms Holmes spoke her mind on Q&A, which might be considered an antipodean equivalent to The View. It’s not a program which gives much air time to anything other than the lefty viewpoint of the day. And from my reading of the transcript it doesn’t seem that anyone tried too hard to talk over her or belittle her opinion.
Remarkable indeed. Perhaps Aunty and a few nieces and nephews are taking their heads out of their backsides. Long overdue.
Another truth bomb was dropped by Nick Patterson.
People have said to me before ‘You can’t beat the police, Nick, you can’t beat them – not in their court’ – I beat them three times.
Nick owns a gym in Melbourne’s east, which he kept open against the demands of the Andrews government. He isn’t a lawyer. But he was prepared to stand his ground, and fight.
Credit must be paid to the former members of Vicpol who assisted Nick. Documents he obtained at their suggestion made it clear that the police went to work that day with the clear intention of provoking Nick and his friends into a confrontation. The judge also noted the blatant disparities between statements made by the police and the video taken from their own bodycams.
Nick’s victory won’t get much attention from the MSM. This short interview with Avi Yemini at Rebel News is focused on the court case.
In this longer interview with Cafe Locked Out, Nick goes more into the spiritual and faith aspects of his fight for freedom.
In his own words:
Speak truth, and have the confidence to do it.

Say goodbye as you’re ridin’ high.
I wonder what was going through his mind as he became airborne… maybe something like ‘Damn, I left the cat indoors. She’ll crap all over the car – ‘

In what’s beginning to look like the foundations of a grand tradition…
December 2023: Ian Vandaelle.
January 2024: Tom Johnson.
May 2024: Steve Albini.
A highly regarded musician (apparently), Mr Albini was quite the expert on covid, masks, etc.
Expert as in:
You’ll notice that I spoke of Steve in the past tense. Because Steve died earlier this week.
Heart attack. Heart problems are rather common among those folks who rolled up their sleeve… and maybe the readiness to spray venom at the vaccine resisters is a correlating factor too.
It’s starting to look that way.

Perth in Pictures: Vintage class and modern crass.
All the times I walked past this old house. And by the time I finally got around to photographing it, it was behind a wire fence.
And I get my damn thumb in the picture, too.
This venerable residence is a few blocks from home. It’s described as Federation era, which puts its construction date a few years either side of 1900. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the first house in the area that wasn’t a wooden shack.
I believe it was still inhabited until maybe five years ago, although I never saw anyone there. The fence went up last year, principally to keep kids and squatters out, but they have not been deterred.
Fences like this are usually a harbinger of the wrecking crew. But a local estate agent says otherwise.
Please be aware the property is in the Heritage Protection Area, demolition will be unlikely.
Buyer be warned: this is a restoration, not a redevelopment.
No such protection will be afforded the latest contender for Perth’s Ugliest Office Tower.
Say hello to The Switch. So named because I have no idea why.
I was employed in the building alongside with the curved facade during this concrete turd’s construction. As it rose, and rose, I asked ‘When are they going to put a proper face on it?’
Nothing good is added to the landscape by those square metres of lifeless grey.
And then a facade appeared on the northern side.
Not much of an improvement, but an improvement.
But that’s as far as the prettification went. That small area at the top. The remainder of The Switch remains butt ugly.
When I saw it each day at work I thought, it looks like a vertical prison. Something you might see in a crappy B-grade movie.
Maybe I wasn’t far off the mark. The Switch will accommodate students for the new university campus being built across the road. Visible on the left of the third photo.
High-Rise, anyone?

Random Youtube finds.
Michael Spicer says that Nothing Has Changed Since 1999, and he makes a worryingly good case for his position.
Something has changed, though. That thing, that, you know, nobody wants to talk about any more even though they were VERY enthusiastic and even despotic in their support for it not too far back.
Recently I stumbled across this parody by Mediabear. They’ve done some excellent work mocking the covid crapshow since its beginning; this is just a sample. Check out their channel!
Going further back… way back… back to a time when same-sexers still had a sense of humour. Which was apparently just 14 years ago.
This one isn’t a random find. I heard the song on the radio this morning, first time in I don’t know how long.
James Dean as the Road Warrior – yea or nay?
