    Don’t forget works on putting Marxism-Leninism into practice, too. You shouldn’t neglect the practical applications by focusing too much on the theory.

  • I spent years working in the Melbourne CBD, and on the several occasions where as a pedestrian I had to take evasive action, it was because of buses running red lights. Multiple times. You’d think it’d be couriers, or meth-heads, or emergency vehicles (who at least had an excuse). But no. Bloody buses.




  • making a mistake.

    I don’t intend this as a personal criticism, more of a whinge about the world in general. But this sort of thing isn’t a mistake, and it bugs me when that language is used to describe it.

    You could argue “I made a mistake” when you choose the wrong course of action when presented with a tricky dilemma. Or when you’re misled by someone, or misread the circumstances.

    But even associating with Epstein after the truth about him became known isn’t a mistake.
