Well, this is awkward. For months in Sth Aust the State Opposition has been squealing about "Govt spending out of control" and "debt is unsustainable". Today the big ratings agencies gave SA a glowing report card and rated it 2nd in Aust after WA. #auspol www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

#filmsky Here's a list boxd.it/Th Z9I
100 Years 100 Movies - The greatest movies I know
This list is made up of the very greatest movies I know of. And yes, there are greater movies, or other great movies not on the list. But these are all movies that I've seen and think great. And yes, there's too much Welles and not enough Bergman. No Seventh Seal, No Night of the Wolf. And to be honest, I could have just put every Kubrick movie in there. But these are 100 movies I think are great. And yes, Woody Allen is on the list, because he might be a horrible person, but it's about the celluloid.

This raises the question: "Where do bees get tablespoons from?"
Massimo (mirror)@rainmaker1973-m.bsky.social · 3d agoA single bee can produce 1 tablespoon of honey in its lifetime. 683 bees fly roughly 32,550 miles to gather 5.93 lbs of nectar from about 1,185,000 flowers in order to make one 9.5 oz. jar of honey. Original post
It strikes me as amazing that when a film delivers "Terrifier" levels of violence, torture, and gore, it's "entertainment." But if two character engage in some horizontal hi-jinks, then it's cause for moral panic.

#auspol In Adelaide the local Murdoch paper published the name of a sex offender while a suppression order was still in force and is now being facing thousands of dollars in fines. Was their response "Fair Cop, we stuffed up?" Nope, it's "the people's right to know" and "public safety".
