1917 is simply a fantastic movie. Read the link if you want to know the gist of the story.
The same people made Dunkirk which was equally sensational.
The only minor criticism is I just did not think Benedict Cumberbatch looked an officer.
Also who milked the cow and how were the orders readable?
Just go and see this movie. It is a bewdy

Has Arson caused the bushfires
Those who push a cultural warrior barrow usually say two thing.
The bbushfires are the result of greenies stopping hazard reduction and arsonists lighting fires.
The ever excellent Hotwhopper delves very impressively into the latter topic to show it is completely and utterly claptrap.
Moyhu weighs in on Murdoch.

THE ABC is a jewel in Australia
One thing stands out like a shag on a rock.
The ABC has simply been outstanding in its coverage of the bushfires.
It does not matter whether this is on a national stage or at the local level.
When there is a national emergency people tune to the BC to d find out exactly what is gong on.

Marohasy demolished again
We met Marohasy previously when she made some ahem inaccurate statements.
She is a right wing cultural warrior who is a classic climate change denialist.
She made statements to wit it has been hottest previously than this time. In 1938/9 to be precise using Rutherglen. She also said fires have burnt greater areas.
This intrigued Tamino who then used BOM figures to see if this was correct.
It was not.
As an aside he is really impressed with the BOM database.
