There are plenty of good white men out there. What they probably don’t see is how the rest of their category behave to women, particularly women who aren’t white or straight. That’s why we get frustrated with the decent ones who don’t believe us. medium.com/@IjeomaOluo/...

12yo just realised that it's spelled "The Beatles" and she had such a visceral reaction to the terrible pun that I genuinely thought she was going to throw up
As usual, the latest Bobby Fingers video has more creativity, spark and surprise than the last half dozen movies I watched put together.
The new @shearwaterband.bsky.social album is magnificent. Feels like they've been circling this for some time and now it's all come together spectacularly. Highly recommended!
The auld gods of poetic justice caught me seeking pleasure (listening to Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill', once on Tuesday) and have exacted their cruel punishment (having Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill' playing constantly in my brain ever since)
"There was a lot of jumping ... there was just a huge mess of shit, all over the floor. People are wearing skirts and shit is up their legs and stuff, and then one girl went bleh – just vomited on the shit – and then everyone else starts vomiting." www.loudersound.com/music/tracks...

One thing you can absolutely guarantee in life. When Labour ministers talk about difficult choices, it's never the rich and powerful that will be taking a hit.

What just happened to TheNumbers.com should worry us all
If you work in or around the film industry, there is a decent chance you have used the work of The Numbers this month, whether you realise it or not.

Since July 2022, the Australian Government is estimated to have missed out on more than $73 billion in potential revenue from a gas export tax. ✍️ Join the call for a national plebiscite to introduce a 25% gas export tax ⤵️ https://theaus.in/44Nrn7l
The Murphy report says end gambling ads, the experts say end gambling ads, the public says end gambling ads. But the gambling industry says no, and the PM falls in line.
I know there are SO MANY THINGS to get angry about, but these 'big 4' motherfuckers need a slap they won't forget in a hurry australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-kpm...
The KPMG scandal: We have seen this show before
The scandal that has swamped KPMG in the past month has many moving parts, but it can all be summarised in one earthy Australian expression – “same s–t,

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.
HUGE party of >70 giddy Argentine flag wavers playing drums and singing and blocking the roads this morning in Byron at 7.30. Stood next to one very grumpy looking family in Eng-er-land shirts nursing coffees and grumbling quietly about 'all the noise'
“There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.” No, that's *power*. This stuff is being rammed down our throats by people with a financial interest in us swallowing the slurry. Don't pretend this is providence or the hand of god.
He's calling this an AI plan for Australia, but the future he's mapped out is controlled by American billionaires, not Australian communities. What we got today was a red carpet for Meta, Palantir and Amazon, leading straight to the PM's office.

This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.
Oh god dammit. That grand old pig is going to be inconsolable. RIP Sam Neill.
More women have been murdered since 2024 by men than all Australians killed by terrorism globally in the past 100 years. Yet there are no Royal Commission’s for women still. No emergency task forces.
I don't think I've ever wanted anything more in my entire life than for Count Binface to win the Clacton by-election
