Australian leaders see this in their streets and think “yeah, we need to ban guns.”

Australian Broadcasting Corporation boss Kim Williams: "People like Mr. Rogan prey on people's vulnerabilities. They prey on fear. They prey on anxiety... I personally find it deeply repulsive, and to think that someone has such remarkable power in the United States is something that I look at in disbelief."

Male athletes are now banned from competing in Women's category at Olympics. Cool.

Now strip these dudes of their gold medals & issue an apology to every woman who was cheated and brutally beaten.

Mind-blowing discovery 🤯

[Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews]

BREAKING - A Gold’s Gym in the Bronx is under fire after staff revoked a woman’s membership and escorted her out with police after she bravely confronted a man pretending to be a woman in the women’s locker room.

You know what to do.

I don't like doing this, but @TurkishAirlines you leave me no obvious choice apart from legal action. I booked to travel back from a conference in April 2025 from Istanbul. You bumped me off the flight because you had overbooked. I had to stay an additional overnight and get the next flight. This was, of course, highly disruptive, but you agreed to pay me compensation.

Over the last six months you have done everything possible to avoid paying me that compensation, that I was promised at the time. It is the worst customer support I have ever experienced. You owe me money, because of the failure to provide the service I paid form But you have refused to pay and have *repeatedly* lied to me. I've supplied you with my bank details five times. You clearly wish to exhaust me so that I will give up.

I would advise people *never* to fly with @TurkishAirlines if they can possibly avoid it.

@TurkishAirlines I will update this only when you have paid me the compensation to which, you agree, I am legally entitled. DM me, find the file, and pay me the money you owe me, with an acknowledgement and apology. Please do this immediately.

If you do that, I will report it here.

🚨BREAKING: People are digging up a 2010 CNN clip showing Obama’s $376M White House makeover — all paid for by taxpayers. Meanwhile President Trump’s $250M ballroom is coming out of his own pocket.

This is what the majority of Australians accepted during 2020 and 2021.

Never forget.

Because the Digital ID is coming.
This was merely a taster…

Me: Ok
Oh shit the cameras are rolling.
Do you get it now?
How about now?

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.

*****

"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.

My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.

At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.

At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.

At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.

At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.

I’m writing this to tell you something simple:

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.

Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.

You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.

You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.

With love and gentleness,

Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

If the legendary Pat Boone smacks you, you know you're wrong!

Pat just knocked one out of the park against Jimmy Kimmel.

“Jimmy….you’re still perfectly free to say anything you want, anywhere you choose, but freedom isn’t free as you’re finding out…there is a responsibility with it and consequence from its’ misuse and that’s why it’s so precious.”

“So shout, shout on! Speak your views publicly in the streets without fear, but don’t expect to be paid millions when you bite the hand that feeds you.”

Said with so much class!

The older entertainers know what's up! Johnny Carson never got political and had a great run entertaining us for years!
