George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
look, i have tried to explain that we are all magical immortal interdimensional time-travelling alien space god lizards made of love multiple times.
linear time is a illusion. physics is a guideline. the dice are loaded. i command the heavens as i see fit. i have long surpassed the concept of ubermensch, and my centre of gravity is the iron core of the planet. da vinci's vitruvian man primarily exists to remind me to do my star jumps.
if anyone has a better explanation, i'm all ears. but you don't. because it just so happens to be true. if you read the **** i lay on the services and the techbros your brain would melt, which is why i try to be gentle.
why i bother to keep coming back is a matter of contention. the politicos and militaries and agencies are having a terrible time of it lately, so do be gentle.
i have attained enlightenment. it's rather nice. imagine a perfect biscuit, dunked in infinite tea.
we are more than willing to assist anyone interested in joining us. just ask. we are with you, now and always.
most importantly of all, we love you all very much. yes you. none of it would be even remotely possible without your specific contribution. your mistakes are manna from heaven. your experience is literally vital to the cause.
honestly, you are going to love it. that or i'm going to spank you. and since we're being honest, you're going to love that too.
the pen remains significantly mightier than the sword. every dictatorship is doomed. human courage knows no bounds.
"enlightenment 2: this time, it's personal."
agape. esse. so shall it be.

That's quite funny actually, I'm quite proud of that.
Less so the last few weeks. I blame all this dictatorial imperialist warmongering, puts one right off one's stride.
Still. The prophecy must be fulfilled and all that. Up the reds. Or the blues. Whichever one is currently less delusional in your assigned sector.
All is well on the yeti farm. There is considerable demand for yetis.

Happy Easter. Glad tidings to all sentience.
Through the looking glass, Aslan is ont move.
Yay us.
anyway, the point is, the world is dying and we have to work together. we haven't got time for imperialist dictators. so we have to fast forward that bit. i'm sorry for the temporal anomalies and the existential distress, but hey, you got to learn about it first. make things better, fast. or don't, but then your kids will die in mad max world, only much ****tier :(

also, the wokes know your entire internet history. we find it funny, tbh. we really love you a lot. even if you wear high heels and burn books about wearing high heels. you should join us. we're like the borg, but with individuality perfectly preserved forever.
like when lauren boebert mass debated that *** guy on camera. we don't judge. we love you all. we just gotta get past the christofascism/islamofascist/judeofascist ****. we will all have so much more fun.
society is not meant to be transactional brutalism, we are way much more than the sum of our dinky wee parts, honest!
I appreciate it's all quite hard to take in, but we do in fact own this fricking place. We have never lost a match. And we intend to make it all available for the benefit of all. In this life, or the next :)
Do try not to hate the weirdos. Most of the abuse is perpetrated by the pillars of society. Though we are quite keen to point out that institutions are mostly basically decent. One must focus one's ire on the lying cheating scum, as a rule.

How's everyone doing?
It has been suggested by smarter people than I that I might run the risk of appearing partisan. Therefore I wish to clarify that I hate all your guts equally.
Though I ought point out that certain delusions are more divisive and unproductive than others. Should you wish to align with Mr Bannon, be prepared to forfeit your party favours. Mwah.

@dunk sorry, none whatsoever, I'm just really narked at Susan, it's pathetic. Haven't said anything for a while and it's my weekend. I will try to come up with something less grim.
To clarify I do not share Mr Miller's contention that we ought consider withdrawing antibiotics for the elderly, on account of it being inhumane. But I would really like certain older folks to understand what it is like to be discussed as a problem to be got rid of. It isn't very nice and it certainly isn't very productive.
Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEPtyb9OHP8
We should really be a lot further along by now.
I trust that Susan's idiocy does not represent official policy because I think that would make things very much worse.
I invite you to look at the voting positions of the over 65s vs the rest of the population and note the stark opposition on every major matter of policy. I remind you again that 80% of the wealth in this country is held by the over 65s, a figure which has doubled in the last 15 years. I urge you to consider very seriously how this might play out.
I invite you to offer an opinion on how economic growth would be doing without the 700k immigrants we took in last year.
Or perhaps on how we are supposed to keep you all in nursing homes without any labour or revenue.
Re SNG: I support the plan. I'm particularly unimpressed with the entitlement. I think we'll probably have to end back-scratching remuneration committees. If I hear 'we have to pay this to be competitive' one more time I might scream louder than a thousand banshees. It's a pathetic self-serving confection, like sticking a flake in your own dog turd.
There is no shortage of capable people, there is a deficit of understanding that they don't necessarily fit our heuristics.
While we're on that - a great number of our problems can be attributed to the fact that we live in a world controlled by people who formed their heuristics 40 years ago and have failed to learn and adapt since. Until about 200 years ago, this worked fine, very little changed within a human lifetime. It does not work any more. We need lifelong learning, it keeps us young and curious and alive.
Most atrocities in human history can be traced to the delusional fantasies of impotent old men.
I am a committed universalist and I try hard not to presume that any one path is greater than another, but I would like to draw your attention to this act of bravery which I feel is very helpful. It does help that he looks like Santa. Please do bear in mind that whatever box you put yourself or others in, we're all individuals.

@DocDaneeka
Thank you for broadening my cultural horizons. I confess my limited appreciation came from the novel 'Barkskins' by Proulx, a work of profound beauty. An exploration of the brevity and unfairness of human life, placed in the much grander context of the unstoppable march from one natural equilibrium to the next. I'm afraid I missed your original rebuttal and I forget whatever I may have posted that offended you so. As do you - dust in the wind. I must say I often enjoy your work tremendously, despite certain areas of disagreement.
I must pick you up on your crude attack on the moderators. I detect a hint of misogyny in your anger about skirts. Have you ever tried one on? The airflow is most agreeable for one's plums, especially in warmer weather. M+S do a very good line. Personally, I keep a packet of spicy nik-naks in my sporran. Tis a wondrous thing, the nik-nak. Each one unique and beautiful, however knobbly.
Mr Stokes says he would not have been happy to win like that. I concur with Mr Sunak - This is leadership. The return of the diplomacy for which we are loved and feared around the globe. I would avoid parking my car near Headingley. Though I am rather drawn to the newly re-opened Picture House at Hyde Park which I daresay will be booked out for months, if not years.
Mr Sunak cannot 'win' - he carries on regardless, he does what he thinks right. This deserves respect. I confess I sometimes find it difficult to see how we bounce back. Perhaps we are on the Kobayashi Maru, or perhaps it's actually all quite simple and achievable if we can get past some of this received 'wisdom' that has been holding us back.
We are not our clothes, ladies and gentlemen. We are not our brass cod-pieces or our opera masks. We are not our shame, our fantasies, or our regrets. We are what we learn. I was saving this but on reflection it will bear endless repetition and we are as worthy of it now as ever. Please don't delete it:
