Politicians and the media are trained to influence the way we think. This thread looks at how they do that.

@antsharwood You're not going to believe this but I took of images from the window seat of my Mar 2019 Doha-Madrid flight under similar weather conditions and 41k elevation and then deleted them all because they came out crap. Can vouch for the vista and best geography excursion ever, WG.

[Lad Litter @LadLitter]

@antsharwood Excellent pix Anthony and well done on identifying the landforms. Had similarly clear skies and a window seat for a 2019 Doha-Madrid flight that gave perfect views of the Bosporus, nthn Turkey, nthn Greece and Italy. Pretty darn good geography excursion, 7hrs @ 41000ft

@brydoncoverdale At the 1977 VFL drawn GF the crowd were at first in stunnedsilence for several seconds before spontaneously standing and applauding both teams. And gee, I hope that's not an example of the Mandela Effect from 17yo me sitting front row one deck up in the Ponsford Stand

@SianMorton @Geez_Mate @PeterCronau All his posts are like that. He might be in some kind of drinking game where if you can't cram all lumpenproletariat pejoratives for progressives currently in use, you have to drink the drip tray. Guy's going to be be devastated when he finds out Women's Lib no longer qualifies

After Farrer this seems timely

@JonathanJWalsh Has he ever been dropped since he arrived via the Mid-Season Draft 2021?

@RayeCharles The 1980s delivered high production values on recorded music - if you listen to the hits, you can hear every instrument without needing to go over and put your head right next to the speaker

[Lad Litter @LadLitter]

@fritzfelgentreu @ae_stallings @ArmandDAngour Yep. Strongly agree, Fritz. Adapted mythic elements into legend eg fleet-footed Achilles, Achilles the Runner

[Joe2: Woke & proud of it. @eatatjoe2]

@bonnieallan72 @julian_keil @DrJulieAH @theage Media think that if they tell us enough times that she is a "moderate" or a "small l liberal", because Jess Wilson told them so, we will all magically believe it so.
Despite unsurmountable evidence that it is not true. #springst #auspol

@KALHolman Very common throughout the inner nth-west

[Lad Litter @LadLitter]

Much-needed paint job on the old Lad's old house. They scrub up alright, these 1905 Edwardians

[Lad Litter @LadLitter]

@Oztiger57 Thanks TC!

[Lad Litter @LadLitter]

@KALHolman Thanks, Ken. Ginny as project manager, local painting and decorating firm knew just what we needed.

Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards walk out to bat for Hampshire in 1973.

I don’t envy whoever was the county pro who had to open the bowling against them.

The people who attend an
#AnzacDay service, and boo the Welcome to Country, are not there to respect our servicemen and women. They are there to celebrate their own racism. #auspol

Jane Greer... sigh... she was brilliant in brilliant films

[Harold’s Golden Age of Hollywood @gaugler_j]

Jane Greer, photographed for "The Big Steal" (1949).

"I loved acting but I didn't want a steady diet of it," she told author Eddie Muller in his book _Dark City Dames_. "Before I knew it, my career just sort of slipped away."

About time the ALP implemented a No Dickheads Policy

@TonyHWindsor @PeterWMurphy1 The 1st mistake was appointing Segal. The 2nd was not giving her strict TOR including a real definition of antisemitism. The 3rd was not immediately sending her report back for a rewrite. Now the gov is hoisted on its own petard. Tony Burke was the responsible Minister.

@GoldenAgeCrickt @WG_RumblePants And thanks to you as well, Golden Age

[Lad Litter @LadLitter]

A mate's just offered me a loan of these two. Do you think they might be worth a quick glance @WG_RumblePants?
