Vladimir Putin is a philosopher… When he says: "There's no happiness in life, only a mirage of it on the horizon.” he means well. This is not glib. Some of the world leaders are gruffs/grubs like Trump, spoiled brats like Macron or professional deceitful politicians like Biden. Not Putin.

Gus Leonisky is rich. That is to say he is a rich artist. He has about 23,679 pieces of VIRTUAL art in his personal collection which he created himself, like the one above ("Quantumic Computar", please note it's low resolution). The original is in the vault. At US$256,325 each on average at auction, minus sales commission, this makes him richer than Bill Gates... Yoohoo!!!

But, there is a but, I need to find some suckers first... Bugger!

The partner of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has described his ongoing incarceration in one of England’s highest security prisons as “intolerable and grotesque”.

Despite winning his long-running extradition battle against the US in January, Assange remains in HMP Belmarsh in south London pending the outcome of an appeal.

This unit, set up in the wake of the Lindt café siege, was created to monitor extremists and fixated persons who may not fall under Australia’s counter-terrorism laws but nonetheless pose a risk of serious violence.

The nation’s chief medical experts say a second dose of AstraZeneca is safe, reassuring Australians after the federal government’s abrupt move to raise the age limit for the shot to 60.

They have expressly ruled out giving people the option to “mix and match” one dose of AstraZeneca and a second dose of Pfizer, saying there is little evidence that it would be effective or safe, and could actually lead to more adverse symptoms.

Honestly, this time the People’s Republic of Grayndler has taken the cult of Albo (who isn’t even that woke!) way too far.

It’s as if Marrickville Metro wants to remind you at every waking (and pissing, and shitting) moment that you’re very much in the bowels of the Inner West. And the result is utterly grotesque.

Successive Israeli governments have been trying for years to push Palestinians out of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and the latest round of Israeli attacks fall in line with that goal. But to understand the roots of the current escalation — and the possible threat of all-out war — one must examine the U.S.-backed, foundational Israeli government policy of using strategies of “terror and expulsion” in an effort to expand its territory by killing and displacing Palestinians, says Noam Chomsky, in this exclusive interview for Truthout.
