Oh for sure. There are a fair few duds, too.
You can't always hit a bullseye, and there was a time when one needed to fill up space on an LP or CD 🤷♂️
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
(Live at Woodstock 1999)
New York Dolls - Personality Crisis

Yeah, I love that. It's on my iTunes playlist for car trips 👍
I'm a Paul Westerberg fan in all his incarnations.
The Clash - White Riot
"All the power's in the hands
Of the people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it"

DAMN YOU COLDPL--
Wait! What? It's just another excuse from a company in a duopoly using its power to rip people off?
As you were.
I would bet any money that the Pope has heard confessions from priests who've done evil stuff and just shifted them around more than once in his ecclesiastical career. They don't think they're accountable to mortals, and the monarchy traditionally doesn't either 🤷♂️
It's horrible.
We had a bloke here, the late Cardinal George Pell, who at the very least inarguably covered up lots of this evil and went to prison for it for a while before the case was overturned and he was promoted to the head of the RC church's finances and moved to the Vatican.
Two former 'conservative' PMs wrote him a character reference, and one of those has suggested that he be made a saint.
Charles could do something about this if he wanted to, but the fix is in.
Yes...well... If only there were some person who was empowered to do something about it. Someone like, I dunno, a king or something who's literally the head of the C-of-E 🤔
He wouldn't even have to mutter, "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?" like one of his ancestors did because a later ancestor wanted a divorce that the Pope wouldn't give him and took care of that troublesome wrinkle. 🤷♂️
These supermarket board members/executives are mostly pretty mediocre dudes, but all have one exceptional quality: utter, utter shamelessness.
They're public companies, so we can see their profits and the way they use accounting tricks to make it look like they're not profiteering off customers and farmers quite as ruthlessly as they are, yet they spew this nonsense.
As long as shareholders get their dividends, they get their bonuses, and that's all that matters.
The Saints - This Perfect Day
Miming contemptuously on TOTP 1977

"Mattel apologises after Wicked movie dolls mistakenly link to porn website on packaging"
Indeed.
But he knows what he's doing. He's encoding himself to the racists as being on their side. I've seen this before, even from Indigenous People hoping to appeal to the far-right. It sometimes even works.
The performative flag lapel pin is another code. That's common in the US, but Australians tend not to be that jingoistic except on special occasions, so guys wanting to appeal to the far-right have started to wear them all the time to show that they're on the team.
There was a thoughtful article in the paper this morning about how T****'s election and idiocy probably won't do much damage to Australia's economy.
I remarked to my mate that, while that's probably correct, it wasn't my biggest worry.
Now, just like clockwork, the worst among us show that they've learned how to exploit a bigger worry about it.
Note: This odious cretin occupies a seat that was essentially bought for him for $120 Million by an equally odious mining billionaire.
Being sure to leave the legs completely unarmoured so the constables could simply shoot there if they don’t like the stew, of course!
