Spinach! Black tea! Almonds! 🤔
Antifreeze kills by turning into oxalate inside your body, and spinach hands you oxalate ready-made.
Ethylene glycol, the stuff in your car's radiator, tastes sweet. That's why vets see so many cats and dogs that have licked it off a garage floor. On its own it does surprisingly little. The damage starts when the liver gets to work and breaks it down, step by step, into glycolic acid and then oxalic acid.
The oxalic acid pulls calcium out of the blood and turns it into calcium oxalate, a crystal. The crystals lodge in the brain, the heart and, worst of all, the tiny tubes of the kidney, which they block and tear apart. Oxalate crystals in the urine are how a doctor knows it was antifreeze.
- Lethal dose: just over 1mL per kilo of body weight
- For a 70kg adult: about 70mL
- The classic antidote: alcohol, which ties up the liver enzyme so the oxalate never gets made
Spinach, rhubarb, beet greens, almonds and black tea skip the liver step. Their oxalate arrives already made.
In 2014 a 56-year-old man in Arkansas went to hospital with nausea, weakness and aches all over. His kidneys were clogged and inflamed with oxalate. There was no kidney disease in his family and nothing wrong with his gut. He drank about 16 cups of iced tea a day, which put his oxalate at 3 to 10 times what the average American takes in. His doctors wrote him up in the New England Journal of Medicine, and he went on dialysis, possibly for the rest of his life.
Same crystal, same organ.
A&E gives the antifreeze victim a stiff drink to stop his liver making oxalate. The salad bar serves it to everyone else pre-made and calls it a superfood.

When the @greens pass Labor’s censorship laws through the senate it’s just one more reminder that they are all in with @australianlabor and that both organisations are conning the Australian people to enrich themselves. If “independant”@DavidPocock follows suit, like he did when he voted through the blatantly lied about tax increase laws, add him to the list. Never forget the role the “charity”@TheAusInstitute plays too. In their own words, “We don’t reveal our major donors to protect them from scrutiny.”
The digital safety bill is an attempt to stop that type of scrutiny. They are telling us it’s to stop such heinous attacks as Helen Haines suffered. But the truth is if it had been in place, it wouldn’t have stopped the attack, but afterwards it could have stopped us from being aware that the attacker had a social media account expressing very similar views to many on the left side of politics. The Labor Government and their partners don’t want the Australian public to have all the information. They want to curate the internet. There is no doubt that the curators will slant things to make themselves the good guys.
This is not the Australia the majority of citizens want.
Hypocrisy 1.01: ABC silent on South Park use of Bluey.
What about when South Park did it? Where's all the faux confected outrage over this?

They are trying so hard to pin the Helen Haines attack on One Nation, despite the attacker being a radical far leftist, who was followed by the leader of the Greens and retweeted the most deranged leftist publications in this country.
If you seek to lead people, you seek to influence how they behave through your thoughts, your words, and your actions.
Politicians have to take responsibility for trivialising violence and normalising aggression.
Our words matter.

The attack on free speech in Australia is in full swing.
Albanese's plan to silence all opposition will backfire.
The people will not be silenced!
🚨BREAKING: The Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026 has passed in the House of Representatives by Labor, Independents and the Greens.
96 YES, 38 NO.
Voted against by Liberals, Nationals, One Nation and Rebekha Sharkie.
Andrew Hastie didn’t appear at any divisions.
This bill will force online businesses to conduct annual risk assessments, report to eSafety and face penalties for non-compliance.
It gives the government power to influence platform design features and impose age-assurance requirements.
It authorises eSafety to operate covert “sock puppet” accounts for government surveillance and information warfare.
It will classify content that “encourages or promotes hostile attitudes towards women or gender equality” as harmful, including legitimate criticism of feminism.
Public hearings are set for 9–10 November, with the inquiry report due 20 November. The bill must still pass the Senate.
Two tier justice! Corrupt judges! Gender dysfunction!
Zero ‘white privilege’ for Aussie families in Melbourne.
BREAKING: A Sri Lankan transgender far left activist avoids jail after bombing a toilet at Melbourne’s Land Forces defence expo.
Malith Shamera Fernando, 25, of Blackburn, detonated a homemade incendiary device in the male toilets at the Melbourne Convention Centre on 12 Sept 2024, while people were in nearby cubicles.
It created a small fire and $4,600 damage. He scoped the venue the day before using his engineer ticket.
Police found 28 more homemade devices at his home, plus cannabis trafficking, ketamine and other drugs.
Protest material about “Free Palestine” and “disrupt Melbourne” was also recovered.
He pleaded guilty.
The prosecution demanded jail but soft on migrant crime Magistrate Donna Bakos gave him a Community Corrections Order, therapy and drug programs, and told him to pay the $4,600.
Why he avoided jail time?
Because prison would be “more onerous” due to his mental health diagnoses and gender status.
So a biological male who planted a bomb at a defence expo, stockpiled more explosives, and dealt drugs walks free, because the judge decided jail might be too hard for him.
Two tier justice on full display.

♦️WHITE PRIVILEGE♦️
This is how our cotton mills and wool mills made their profits, which afforded them their fine stone-built mansions on the outskirts of mill towns.
It was dangerous work, fingers were often lost, eye injuries common, no comfort breaks, no health insurance and no factory nurse.
This work was done on empty bellies after a walk to work. Malnutrition was common place and discipline hard. A water barrel with a wooden ladle for dry dusty days as cotton dander filled the choking air.
There were no holidays to look forward to, no sick pay, and kids as young as 7 sent to work in the miserable conditions their parents stomached for a lifetime.
They didn't play much, they were too knackered for that. A cold hard bed was all they could hope for. Arthritis and joint pains kicked in early as crippled fingers in their middle years struggled with looms.
And our MPs talk about reparations for slavery, when every God damned nation was using slaves.
White privilege... you disgust me. There should be a plaque of remembrance dedicated to the entire working class!

1930’s style Nazi antisemitism now public policy.
Protect the kids, not the pedophiles.
ALBANESE’S $9.6M TAXPAYER WEBSITE TELLS PEDOPHILES: “DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP” FOR FANTASISING ABOUT KIDS
Your money is funding StopItNow! Australia, a government backed site that treats sexual attraction to children as something to “manage” with self acceptance, not stop.
The linked modules say:
• Treat child fantasies “like a wave” that will pass, go for a walk, do a puzzle, journal, cook.
• Don’t try to change the attraction. That could be “akin to gay conversion therapy”
• If you’re only into kids, “focus your attention exclusively on the physical sensations” while masturbating.
• “Don’t beat yourself up, it simply does not feel realistic to never have sexual fantasies about children”
• Show “compassion and self acceptance.” Having a sexual interest in kids can feel “lonely”
This is what Labor calls “prevention.”
Attorney General Michelle Rowland’s office is defending it as a royal commission recommendation.
Ongoing funding: $4 million a year.
Coalition Senator Matt O’Sullivan: “The protection of children must come first.”
The starting point is unequivocal, child sexual abuse is reprehensible and criminal. This risks normalising a sexual interest in children.
Albanese’s Labor is spending millions of your dollars giving comfort and coping strategies to people who fantasise about minors, while comparing efforts to change that attraction with historical attempts to change homosexuality.
Child safety is not a self help exercise.
It is not “mindfulness.”
It is not taxpayer funded compassion for predators.
The Albanese government has now stooped to the level funding pedophiles “feel better” guides.
You cannot make this crap up.

Former Police Officer for 16 years here - served in Victoria Police. 8 Years on the Front Line - many of those years working in the CBD, many times at the various protests that would occur at Parliament Steps, or surrounds.
I can unequivocally say, as will many former cops who see this post - that The Left Wing Protest Groups were always far more violent and extreme in their protest behavior than any right wing motivated group.
Every.Single.Time.
It has only gotten worse, and just like police have lost control of crime on the streets, they have lost control of dealing with these violent thugs, so much so, that the police response now is to "Move on" the peaceful Right-Wing motivated groups and let the Left-Wing Extremists have at it. Shameful.
Victorian One Nation leader Warren Pickering has blamed the extreme left for threats against one in five of his party's candidates, saying the right side of politics hasn't caused as many problems.

Orwellian nonsense from Hastie given the accused attacker is a Trump-hating Leftie.
Donald Trump is the only right-wing figure in the West this century to actually roll back gains of the left, to actually win and for it to mean something.
One of his more important achievements has been exposing what I call the noble loser. The conservative who prefers a moral trophy for being pure over actually winning. That was John McCain, that was Mitt Romney, and that is, it would seem, Andrew Hastie.
Winning isn’t an end in itself. It’s how you secure the future for your people and the values you claim to represent.
These conservatives claim to be principled, but their principles are usually about decorum, civility and process. They sacrifice the very things they entered politics to defend in order to preserve their own reputations for integrity.
There is no dignity in losing. This isn’t a game where you can win a medal for fair play and sportsmanship.
As @RogerJStoneJr says, “Losers don’t legislate.”
Principled failure is still failure.

How much longer are we going to put up with this??
Yet Labor gives $11 million dollars.
