This is the newspaper article, but there might be a paywall 🤷‍♂️

I was just reading the paper, and they mentioned this bloke, Albert Jacka VC, MC & Bar, who fought at Gallipoli and on the Western Front in WWI.

I read about him in a university course on the history of Australians at war. He was quite a bloke, so I thought I'd share in case anyone's interested in military history:

The Murdoch propaganda operations are nothing if not consistent:

You know it's finally proper summer in Australia when there's #Cricket on a Friday arvo.

It's Women's Big Bash League today, but any kind of cricket is my happy place 😊

Sometimes, I give the phishers points for novel efforts, but I almost feel insulted by this one.

It's not so much that, unlike this nonsense, the Australian Taxation Office typically tends to avoid using exclamation points in their missives, so it's something of a clue when there is one.

It's the laziness about the sender's address and the idiotic filename that "WillieHansonxx" wants me to click.

0/5, no stars, 👎👎.

Gibson Firebird > Marshall JTM Studio 20 with the volume up to 9 or so, with just a touch of plate reverb because I can't not 🤷‍♂️

It makes me think about the Beano album tone every time...

Tracking with these this arvo.

The cat behind them is utterly, utterly unconcerned.

Sometimes they just say the quiet part out loud.

Regular reminder that inflation is not caused by the government, it's caused by corporations price-gouging so that they can redistribute your money to their shareholders.

It’s not about food. It’s about controlling the routine and she does it well.

Thing I learned today:

The bridge over the Rhine in Arnhem, Netherlands which was the ultimate target of Operation Market Garden in WWII, is now named after the British Col. John Frost (played by Anthony Hopkins in 'A Bridge Too Far', who commanded the small force that captured the northern end and held it for over 3 days until they ran out of ammo.

That's pretty cool of the people of Arnhem IMHO.
