Those later Milla Jovovich movies were so bad they were almost Dadaist art. Suddenly 40 Milla Jovovich clones will be there and a man in sunglasses says “this is the beginning of the end…of the new beginning” and a dog will be eating spaghetti. It was like Inland Empire with the rabbits.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

A couple of days ago, Australia post started a promo with HBO for the Harry Potter TV series. It you noticed the app logo changed to incorporate an owl, that's why. A bunch of people sent in complaints about the association with that revolting TERF JK Rowling. Today they replied. Partnership ended!

Screenshot of an email from AusPost replying to my complaint sent in yesterday. It reads:

Thank you for contacting Australia Post.

Australia Post is an inclusive organisation that values diversity and is committed to fostering a respectful and welcoming environment for all people, including LGBTQIA+ communities.

The Harry Potter Owl Post Experience was a promotional fan event delivered in partnership with HBO Max to celebrate letter writing and provide an engaging experience for Harry Potter fans.

We apologise if the activation has left you disappointed. We understand your concerns and your feedback has been heard and shared with the relevant teams. As a result, the partnership has now ended. Your feedback will also inform how we think about future partnerships and activations.

I highlighted "As a result" and added exclamation marks after the following sentence.

I have never seen a compelling economic argument for the existence of CEOs or owners that cannot be served better by cooperative ownership or management. The best people has is “well I get to do that/they started it” which is what a six year old says when they get caught fighting.

"I brought him the Encyclopaedia Britannica and he asked 'what year?' I said 'I think it's 1911'...'Oh, the best year for that Encyclopaedia. Give it to me!' And he takes it and starts licking the book and the little old librarian says 'you must not lick the book, sir. You must not lick the books'."

Yep. My mum could walk miles and make a decent stab at a conversation about the weather, but she had forgotten how doors worked. Her aged care assessment came through as level 1 (two hours per week) when she was already in a dementia ward.

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.
