I think I'll murder a potato this week.

WHAT?!

Wait no, not THAT potato, tempting as the thought may be, no, I'll be chucking an actual tuber into the coals of a fire until the outside is itself coal.

Boring people wrap them in foil first, so they don't turn to coal. Not my family. The first time I saw someone use foil, I was stunned. WTF?

Didn't taste the same, either. Probably better, tbh, but just *not right*šŸ˜‚

Nope, I'm sticking with murdered potatoes.

Talking points kept the Coalition's tariff message clear but failed to read the room on Trump

Donald Trump has left Peter Dutton with a catch 22: distance himself from the Trump agenda if he intends to speak to a wider section of the electorate, while retaining rusted-on voters sympathetic to the US president.

SBS news headlines /prioritises dutton’s thoughts on a serious matter before they go on to discuss the current government’s thoughts .. for some reason that makes no sense at all.
is spud’s opinion of elbow more important than elbow’s opinion of mump? did gina make a phone call or sumfin?

also, i would like to see dutton do better at pigeon chess with the ferret-headed knob.

what are we doing about insulating us in the future from the consequences of putting all our eggs in one basket? that’s what the entire world wants their respective governments to explain
