Good luck to him.

The rocket, which Hughes aims to reach an altitude of 1,800ft (550 metres) over California, will be launched from the back of a converted motorhome purchased from Craigslist. It is sponsored by a flat Earth research group, and Hughes plans a subsequent trip to try and observe the flatness of the Earth for himself.

I wonder why he doesn't just climb some high skyscraper? Would be less expensive and less risky than having yourself shot into the air by rocket.

Or do a parachute jump. Haven't the research group thought about using basic triangulation to travel in a straight line to the edge of the world? They're some dumb fuckers aren't they?

Or take a boat to the edge of the Earth and fall off.

The Australian government is illegitimate.

Of course it is illegitimate. Not only does Australia not exist, but all government are illegitimate when they spend tax money on things you don't approve of!

Things are getting very shaky. Two days till a by-election that could lose the government its working majority for good. The former sitting candidate, who's running again, had to resign because he was a pommy bastard. Labor have put up the former premier of NSW (ironically born in the US and a citizen until 2002) Kristina Keneally, and she's been pushing hard to take the seat. And now two days out, it's been revealed that her opponent, as well as being illegitimate, didn't declare some swanky property that he gains income from on his parliamentary declarations.

Could be going to a new national election in a matter of weeks. Current PM, Malcolm Turnbull, who stands for absolutely nothing, except being PM, will be turfed by his party and they'll probably put up some loon bag like Potato Head Peter Dutton, at which point they will lose even worse than they would with Turnbull. They'd be better to put up current deputy PM Julia Bishop. She's an evil cunt, of course, but less evil than the rest of the fuckers.

All sounds like Russian meddling to me.

Yes please. That'll put an end to the LNP coalition's chance of retaining government.

Oh, wait. That's what I thought when the coalition's candidate was Tony, the fucking mad monk, noddy Abbott.

Yeah, that's the fear. Never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.

By putting brothers first and sisters second, you have demonstrated the sexism still rife within male progressives! Check your privilege!

[Brian Peacock]

You're right Jim. I should have said 'comrades and freedom fighters'. I've popped myself on the pogrom list for immediate re-education.

Seems the (now former) CEO of Miss America liked to let the contestants know how fat, whorish and stupid he thought they were.
