They actually changed this title. It previously read "Family of Faggot Fans fly the Faggot Flag High"

Out of Interest I checked out the latest OzTam Ratings - as of Monday this week, The Shares were:
Channel 7 29.9%
Channel 9 24.67%
ABC (2) 20.25%
Channel 10 16.97%
SBS 7.25%

Interesting looking at the breakdown between Analog and Streaming - SBS has double the streaming users with SBS On demand than it has FTA viewers.

Good Summary. 10 also made the wrong choice in the FTA Sports - they banked on a Soccer boost that has never eventuated and sees them with basically no competition to 7's AFL & Cricket and 9's NRL & Tennis. The Anti-siphoning laws are probably the only thing keeping FTA alive in Australia. (that and the worst show ever made .... MAFS)

NBC bought Australian TV Network 10 a few years ago and thought they could just program the same shows they have in the USA. It has been a dismal failure for them. They basically now just churn out inane reality shows. And are often beaten in the ratings by the public broadcaster.

I saw a guy walking around the shops yesterday yelling out "I'm about to order a Soy Latte" and then "This muffin is fire!" - I said what are you doing - he replied "the Internets down and I'm just letting everyone know what i'm doing"

Yes but you don't get the face value points you just get to play a card from your hand like 'complete 7 letter word'

I asked AI (as is my wont) - and it failed to mention the one thing I think we all know is a major factor - white flight due to black violence. This is what it blames:
The value of commercial property in Chicago has seen a significant drop due to a combination of factors:

  • Pandemic Impact: The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the commercial real estate market, altering how businesses view and utilize office space. This has led to a shift in demand patterns, with Chicago facing a particularly steep uphill battle to regain its pre-pandemic vibrancy¹.

  • High Property Taxes: Chicago's commercial property taxes are significantly higher than the national average, with a tax rate of 3.78%. This places a heavy financial burden on businesses, affecting their operational costs and overall willingness to invest in office space within the city¹.

  • Decreased Demand for Office Space: A study by VTS highlights a continuous decline in the demand for office space in Chicago, suggesting a potentially prolonged path to recovery. This trend is especially concerning as it contrasts with some cities where demand has nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels¹.

  • Interest Rates and Borrowing Constraints: High interest rates have led to constricted borrowing, diminishing property values and putting commercial property sales on a downhill slope. In 2023, Chicago-area commercial property sales were down 44% from the previous year².

  • Discounted Property Sales: There have been instances of distressed office buildings being sold at significant discounts, such as an 89% discount for a property near the Willis Tower. This reflects the market’s volatility and the challenges property owners face in offloading distressed assets¹.

In response to these challenges, initiatives have been announced to revamp vacant downtown buildings, aiming to rejuvenate the area by repurposing buildings for various uses¹. These efforts represent a move towards recovery and growth for Chicago's commercial real estate market.

Start with the classic Keynes vs Hayek Rap Battle. Then anything by Hayek - of course my preference is Fatal Conceit. Another good book is The World Economy since World War II by Kenneth Galbraith

He turned away from multiple men that he could have attacked. I've been watching the news cycle 24/7 since it happened - I've seen the CCTV footage - I've read countless eyewitness reports.

The most shocking thing in all of this was just how quickly the NSW government threw $18 million into an inquest - an inquest you can guess they already have planned out

He was actively seeking out women - the male that dies was a security guard literally on his first day of the job with insufficient training.

He is a schizophrenic who went off his meds. He tried to be a male escort as he had no luck with women. He wasn't an incel but it was rejection by women that drove him to it.

Thankfully it doesn't matter what state you're in in Australia. At times I've lived interstate for 9-10 months at a time and it has never mattered in any way shape or form.

The government seems oblivious to the law of unintended consequences.
