Monday…? Already?
As it is, I feel like this:
And in the “Blast from the Past” department, the Widow Ocasek, then:
…and now:
Now finish that shower and get on with it.

From the land Down Under, more bastardy:
The Andrews Government is making more bad changes to Victoria’s gun laws.
The latest changes will allow police down to the rank of inspector to ban shooters from holding firearm licences for at least 10 years – for getting nothing more than a speeding fine.
People hit with a ban will also be subjected to warrantless searches of their homes or cars at any time, and barred from going to any place where guns may be stored or used.
Fucking hell, why not just add “public whipping” and “summary execution” to the list?
Textbook totalitarianism. And the person introducing this legal travesty looks precisely how you’d expect them to look:
The only nice thing you could say about her is that her head would look good on a pike.
Next: pikes to be banned under the Sharp Objects And Politician Protection Act.
Monday Funnies
Yeah, Mondays…
So on we go, trying to make sense of it all:
And a corollary thought:
Finally:
And on a similar topic, here’s some black-and-white goodness (old days version):
Compare and contrast… or rather, don’t. It’ll just depress you.
More Detail Necessary
At J&G Sales, this poll appears on the left of the page (ignore misspellings etc):
The “Other” button does not have its usual “Other (specify)” notation, allowing the respondent to enter text. I wonder what would happen if it did, and a whole bunch of people wrote (under “Other”) stuff like “Hippies”, “Commies” or “BLM assholes”.
I know I’d giggle, for starters.

Intrastate travel within Australia is also severely restricted. And the government of South Australia, one of the country’s six states, developed and is now testing an app as Orwellian as any in the free world to enforce its quarantine rules. People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained. “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.”
Holy shit. Frankly, the best response to something this awful is gunfire I mean mass disobedience. (Gunfire, of course, is not an option because the OzGov has all but disarmed their entire population already.)
Everyone could just refuse to follow instructions to download the app. But what if that was no longer an option because the app would be automatically downloaded when, say, they used Google (and don’t for a moment think that Gurgle wouldn’t cooperate in this)? But if everyone just refused to stay at home, how soon before the “local police forces” ran out of steam and just stopped chasing after these doubleplusungood citizens?
Wouldn’t ever happen, of course, because it appears that Australians long ago decided to lick the chains that enslave them.

So let’s walk that weekly tightrope:
Baby Kim:

And here’s some elderly ginger named Patsy Palmer, who’s a star on some obscure Brit TV show or other (no, I’ve never watched it either):
Freckled boooobs.
