DOCUMENT IS DEDICATED to the memory of my old man who passed away in 1986¹ when I was State Coordinator for Seniors Week.. You have probably noticed that we do Irony around here as well as Gags and Heavy Shit. There follows a pic of my dad’s 400 year male-line ancestor he as an orphan babe rendered virtually homeless at age 2 1/2 was so emotionally swept up by.. Recquiescat in Pace.

Or in other words it’s good to remember the old people: *THIS DOCUMENT is dedicated to the memory of a rambunctious life, the 14 year-old from O’Neil St Springbank now Panorama who blew his eye out while fishing for a feed with railway detonators (the yarn was it was gelignite but wouldn’t that have been fairly piss-poor gelignite?) in a Sturt Creek rockhole (well no, it must have been gelignite) that used to be up near the Lynton Rlwy Stn Thomas Reginald Pole Blundell who passed away as his first-born was State Co-ordinator for Seniors Week 1986: ironies we do ironies as well as gags proudly patriarchic descendant of the ancient English cardinal pictured below

Essay..

Hello, how are you, a-wha-hoo-hwaaa/ D0-wopp-dooie-dyuw-whopp and the money and job security are fantastic.

[..base funding to the ABC of: $1,061.7 million in 2022-23, $1,083.7 million in 2023-24 and $1,101.3 million in 2024-25. As provision for this funding has already been included in the forward estimates, it has no net budget impact… these June ’23 numbers]

Branding’s such a try-on but once readers (or viewers) get it big-time as you as the Creative have gone and been and done and navigated and craftily negotiated your way right over @TheAtlantic’s Canadian rich people’s chatter-columnist Malcolm Gladwell’s 979 metre-high tipping point waterfall somewhere in Venezuela!

Now imagine you’re nicely refreshed, after a week’s work, of a Saturday morning, listening to a radio station or some podcast

Imagine, however, an SMS app text msg you could not send to anyone at a Contact Us number on any webpage belonging to, say, a billion-dollar per annum spectacularly responsive broadcasting organisation. Do you recall when the term INTERACTIVE emerged as prime branding for commercial talkback radio stations, say in 1997. This was probably, or at least notionally – and academically neoclassical notions, euphemisms, false equivalences and seriously bad metaphors are are all we are allowed to communicate with in Biden’s, Putin’s, Sunak’s, Trudeau’s, Bolsonaro’s (so make a note), Xi Jinping’s & Bilbo Baggins’ – the Australian dude’s – neoliberal universe, right? – and now with the rise and rise of e-comms provider fascist propaganda and USSR-style censorship – what’s next is 1930s show-trials – you knew that) the greatest early Internet era porky of them all – and the competition amongst those solecisms is truly gruesome – like bodily torture – Christ have Mercy for its now millions of real victims and all of our love, personal attention and the transcendent mental power of revenge also figuratively sent to Muslim Kashmiris this morning 24/12/2023 – for any serious scholar of cultural linguistics and neurolinguistics – ever listening to the voices of selected groups of affluent Australian people including woke/ bespoke/ is-it-a-joke? identity politics lobbies supposedly of the ideological left though all of them from the Red Cross Salvos and RFDS through to WWF Greenpeace and the ACF are run as procedurally hidebound closed shops and actual antagonists of free, open and participatory public engagement – exactly on the Them & Us angry exclusive tribal mental dualist binary lines of the political parties operating in state and federal legislative chambers (parliaments) building or rather amassing the crude and violating power, obscene prestige and preposterous wealth of their obedient if not bovine members to the exclusion of all other interests including monstrously, those of women, teenagers and children as entire statistical classes of human person became exactly as ecosystems local regional quadrispheric and global in that they do not merit inclusion¹, being statiscally too complex and derivative algorythms derived from derivative algorhyms too haptic, erratic, sectional and unreliable – and the only way out for the deracinated postmodern social computing nutter, oh, expert, is to render all his (typically his/ What is Patriarchy/ What is Pederasty) the Harvard, MIT, Chicago, @PwC @McKinsey @EYnews @KPMG @MSFTMechanics @Apple @GoogleAI @CambridgeEcon global neoliberal human deskilling orgy, enjoying favour, largesse and lavish tax deductibility: the now beleaguered, broken and wildly thrashing about if not completely out-of-control Australian post World War II USA military alliance’s busted political class…

Sure these people in Adelaide South Australia have a text & phone number that I could have called had I made the requisite note, but what am I, a fan of this lot or an internationally-read journalist with vastly bigger 🐠 🐟 🎣 to fry?

So it’s Good Morning – we’re always polite and formal in Adelaide well we better class of well-to-do white persons are – veteran Australian Broadcasting Corporation Rural “Division” 1960 Norman Bourlag toxic synthetic chemicals in food & fibre production scalliwag John Lamb!

“You say banànas but I’d say banánas, neither of which behgins to explain the assault upon all life on earth and upon the geophysical integrity and stability of the material troposphere by excessive solar radiation ☢️

“And there’s an interconnection there with chemical nitrogen as you say – air is zany stuff containing zippy zingy waves rays & sunbeams⚡️⚡️ ⚡️as well as chemical gas particles 🌩⛈🌤🌧☁️, right?

“As an aside that is not so much an aside as an urgent message to the entire human race & species – to get into total tropospheric ecology for “surviving” – or some gravely diminished muddling along or “sustainable” agriculture purposes you probably haven’t heard that 7-10 km up (I think it is) our upper level Ozone protection from direct solar ☢️ has AGAIN been damaged, this time by smoke from Canada.. which is ALSO blackening the terrestrial albedo – this is what Global Heating scholars call cryosphere (white ice and snow that fabulously refelect millions – it may be billions, the METRICS here are not my special area of study although the global current systems certainly are – of kilowatts of energy right across NE Canada 🍁and onward eastward..

“People will ‘pshaw’ that it was a cool mild summer, so what are these awful @Greens coming out with now!? Mischievous bastards – or as the leader of once-was Her Majesty’s Loyal South Australin Opposition Mr David Spiers so sagely suggested ten days (November) ago they’re lucky this is not Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: they could get their heads chopped off, he said. Passers by were naturally agog and quickened their pace a little – so as not to attract police attention. The bloke, Spiers, is, like nearly all of the leading lights of the broadcasting corporation since 1932 a Pom. Goodness me.

Great scientific discovery – indeed the world’s best – of (very) late 2023 – earth is the product of paleolthic chemistry, molecular biology and wave-particle physics but you can’t be there, OK? ..https://global.oup.com/academic/product/gaia-9780198784883?cc=us

Acute readers – and I truly joyfully celebrate with you all our healing learning and growing compassionate intelligent grip on reality troth sentient, inert and thermodynamic together with a dramatically renewed and expanded awareness of historical method or historical lines of HUMAN enquiry – will only glean in the following THE ACTUAL YEAR of Gaia’s presentation to us all.

“Published in 1979, Gaia offered a radically new hypothesis: the Earth, Lovelock argued, is a living entity. Together, the planet and all its separate living organisms form a single self-regulating body, sustaining life and helping it evolve through time. Lovelock sees humans as no more special than other elements of the planet, railing against the once widely-held belief that the good of mankind is the only thing that matters.” (@Routledge – kindly see hyperlinks below²)

You’d wonder and well you might how any clustering of human society urban, rural, remote or heroic – Example Primo Gaza City · مدينة غزة ; Gaza Strip · قطاع غزة ; European Gaza Hospital · مستشفى غزة الأ…could not only ignore but utterly waste and burn 45 years – a precious two human generations – for Ayn Rand – Alan Greenspan – Milton Friedman fascist polemics and its motive driver namely Machiavellian raison-d’etat colonial gross accumulation.

“This packer’s best-quality Washington Navel oranges have hard tight skins presently: Jumaluk Fruit Packers, wholesaler in Waikerie SA..”

– So as you and I well know, ABC “Rural” dude, 2 factors ALWAYS go to 3 & all that adds up to 5 in the real world 🌞🌱🐇😀. That’s #science – publicists & charlatans say a lot about it, pay lip-service to it by uttering the word three or four times daily in June 2023 but frankly don’t give a flying f… for our diligent highly professional practice of it – which in my opinion is a TRULY MONSTROUS crime against humanity.

“Stay well old bloke – and absolutely terminate your participation in that 20th century proudly South Australian evil project to search out, destroy and kill the authentic organic, biodynamic and regenerative primary producers of this country – what’s left of the bastard now.
