Bondi Junction attack: Sydney will always win when Sydney fights back

Apr 15, 2024 | dailytelegraph.com.au | Tim Blair

“It wasn’t just me,” hero cop Amy Scott told NSW police minister Yasmin Catley on Saturday night. The pair spoke mere hours after Scott had pursued and eliminated murderous Westfield maniac Joel Cauchi, and the two-decade police veteran wanted to provide credit where it was due. “There were a whole lot of bystanders assisting and helping people,” she told Catley.
The FitzSimons Assumption

Mar 8, 2024 | dailytelegraph.com.au | Tim Blair

But our old mate Peter FitzSimons, whose pathetic predictions and epic ignorance are matters of record, finally committed an error so hilariously revealing that even comrade Amanda couldn’t look away: Peter FitzSimons, a Sydney Morning Herald star columnist, paid the price this week for rushing to judgment with sparse facts to hand when he penned a column arguing Sam Kerr should lose the captaincy of the Matildas for allegedly “uttering racist epithets”.
Dainty Doily Door Handle De-Heaters

Feb 26, 2024 | dailytelegraph.com.au | Tim Blair

As the thermometer image reveals, peak door handle temperature reached 54.7 degrees – or more than 130 on the old Fahrenheit scale. This made use of the door handles momentarily and very slightly uncomfortable. A solution was required. I proposed to sit down in front of traffic until global warming stopped and the door handles became less ouchy, but the missus had a better idea: why not buy and install anti-scald door handle protector cushion covers?

From basic searches to its new AI history-correction device, Google is junk. Like Jay Bhattacharya, I pine for a time nearly 20 years ago when Google was a solid go-to:I'm trying to remember the exact year I realized that @Google search had become unusable. 2017? 2018? Certainly useless by 2020, when Google became a propaganda arm of the CDC. Nowadays I use @brave search. It's better than 2024 Google, but I really miss 2005 Google.

Not so well, according to The Australian’s always-compelling Diary column.

It’s hasn’t been the easiest few weeks for Banducci, who’s now collecting his receipt in the checkout aisle: Woolworths chief executive Brad Banducci has announced his intention to step down from the supermarket giant, with his shock departure coming as he faced community anger over the retailer’s refusal to stock Australia Day merchandise, allegations of price gouging, public inquiries into the sector and just this week a trainwreck interview on the ABC … Woolworths said Mr Banducci has...
Double-A B-Listers C-minus

Feb 19, 2024 | dailytelegraph.com.au | Tim Blair

Women’s Agenda – “a hub sharing the latest news and views affecting how women live and work … independent and 100 per cent female owned and run” – tells the thrilling tale: How do you open a podcast between two outspoken women whose similarities end with the name Antoinette? One simple line: “Welcome to the shit show.” Casual vulgarity is lazy and dull – although in this case it’s probably a fair call.

Way back in 2004, Guardian plonker Johnathan Freedland suggested that voters outside the US should be allowed to vote in that year’s US election: Who could honestly describe the 2004 contest of George Bush and John Kerry as a domestic affair? There's a reason why every newspaper in the world will have the same story on its front page on November 3. This election will be decisive not just for the United States but for the future of the world … So perhaps it's time to make a modest proposal.

Cranky Clementine’s Taylor Tribute

Feb 12, 2024 | dailytelegraph.com.au | Tim Blair

We’ll find out next month in this year’s strangest tribute act: Jew-denouncing Clem and friends performing the hits of Ms Swift in a show where audiences are warned to expect “adult themes” and “swearing”. Kids under five get in for free. Adding a further Frankensteinian dimension, this atrocity will take place at some kind of medieval tourist castle in country Victoria. Should be quite a show.
