Julian Assange, who has a bit of time on his hands these days, did this yesterday and is miffed that I referred to him as Wikileaks’ Cupboard Boy in an article I penned last year.
Assange shunned the primary rule of Twitter — never tweet angry — and took to it with fingers twitching maniacally, complaining he was not only not Cupboard Boy but at 188 cm (6’2”), he is a hulking Gargantua.
Why, in another life, he could have got a game for the Washington Generals against their bêtes noires, the Harlem Globetrotters. “Quick, turn around Julian. They’re using a ladder.”
The Cupboard Boy moniker was a joke. In reality Assange lives in a single room; part office, part bathroom which had been used previously by the embassy’s female employees. Neither is he pale to the point of albinism from his years out of the sun as I also suggested. He uses a sun lamp.

It is hard to imagine how much knowledge we have lost over the duration. I am sure we would be a much better society today if it were not for the Religious types and other marauders whose unquenchable need for power snd control of humans minds destroyed who knows how much knowledge that could have progressed humanity. No I have not looked at the scholarly assessments on this.

From Richo in today’s Aus
“It is only a tick under 30 years since the 1988 bicentenary celebrations were held. Australia went wild at the opportunity. A million people crowded around the foreshores of Sydney Harbour, which itself was chock-a-block with boats, from the billionaires’ swank cruisers to the tinnies of the battlers. It was a rare feeling of collective euphoria and was one of the most memorable days of my life.”
I agree, and it was the making of Australia Day.
“Am I now to chastise myself for taking part? Should Australians hang their heads in shame for daring to charge their glasses on our national day? I don’t think so.”
Spot on.
