Sydney's second international airport opened yesterday. It has no dedicated smoking room. Why I think it should have one. simonchapman6.com/2026/10/26…

Waarom zien we hier op X / Twitter NIETS over de MASSALE No Kings protesten van gisteren in HEEL Amerika?
Wie is hier snoeihard de midterms aan het beïnvloeden denken jullie?

Sadly Katie didn't even make it to Saturday so SNL couldn't parody her.
But Canada did.
And it's fantastic.
Another searing examination by Bath University's
@tcrgbath.bsky.social
of BAT's vomit-inducing posturing about illegal tobacco. Pas de surprise, BAT's objective is to ensure its own illicitly traded products continue to be maximally profitable. tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/conte…... 🤮
This remarkable paper by University of Bath Tobacco Tactics group is now back on-line. Reveals BAT's more recent involvement in supplying illicit #tobacco trade. Brilliant sunlight for use against #BigTobacco's unctuous corporate ressponsibility posturing tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/conte…

BigTobacco was the major supplier of tobacco to global illicit trade in the 60s-80s while wearing the white hat about how terrible it all was. But this new paper shows BAT was up to its elbows in it until at least 2014. tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/conte…...

I’m not into conspiracy theories, but there is still something that doesn’t fit about this story. Hard to believe that a totally untrained plumber managed to pull up a 737 jet nosediving at around 1000 km/h per hour.

NSW Coalition wilting on support for Minns' gun buyback after rural pressure. Buyback all about reducing likelihood of massacres. Here's list of 5+ gun fatalities. ALL hitherto "law abiding". Why assume no farmers at risk here? smh.com.au/politics/nsw/vote…

President Trump Explains Trade Deficits:
“If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing 2 billion dollars. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars”.
It’s just simple Economics.
In 50 years of a career in public health advocacy, trolling and abuse has often been part of the landscape. Here's a case study of one serial pest who steps over the mark simonchapman6.com/2026/09/17…
