    Play Nice 45th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 19: Law and Odour

    Kristi Noem, South Dakota Governor and potential Trump VP pick has written a book, and sounds like she’s got a really everyperson quality that has the chance to cut through, with relatable anecdotes such as the time she…murdered a puppy.

    Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

    Which is a reasonable thing to request but different when it’s the government attempting to compel them to do something, particularly in having them do it for places outside the Australian jurisdiction.

    Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

    Obviously Elon’s a twat whose commitment to free speech is incredibly shallow. But the eSafety Commissioner is a position created in bad legislation written by the Morrison Government and supported by an Albanese Opposition that was more interested in narrowing any divisive cause of...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    In preparation of watching her new film, I watched the last two Alice Rohrwacher films. One of the best directors over the last decade, she’s brought a magic realism back to Italian cinema. The Wonders (2014) - about a family of beekeepers, and the eldest daughter following her father in the...

    Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

    Unfortunately, and surely by accident, Musk is right. The Government shouldn't demand it be taken down and the censorship repercussions are enormous (should footage of atrocities in Palestine, much of it more graphic and disturbing than this video, be taken down at the request of the Israeli...

    Play Nice 46th President of the United States: Joe Biden 2: Incidit in scyllam cupiens vitare charybdim

    The fine print in the infographic even says that the "target" is actually Biden's target, which is well short of the target of "what we need to do in order for the world not to burn". Remember Net Zero by 2030? Anyway, I don't think "vote for the man who is nowhere near the target ahead of the...

    Love Lies Bleeding - set in 1989, featuring Kristen Stewart as a gym manager who falls for a woman training there while passing through town on her way to a bodybuilding competition. But slowly they get dragged into the web of the crime family Stewart has come from, particularly sleazy...

    Rate a movie quadrilogy - Alien Quadrilogy

    I agree with each of these pairings but would swap them (ie. 1. Alien, 2. Aliens, 3. Alien 3, 4. Prometheus, 5. Alien Resurrection, 6. Alien Covenant). Really, though, pretty inessential viewing after the first two and I'm not sure there's an enormous amount to recommend, individual scenes...

    Showing Up and Certain Women are both on Netflix, which helps. Most of the rest were on Kanopy - I only needed to expand my search for Wendy & Lucy. In some very faint praise for Civil War - it's better than Men.

    It relates to his character that makes him the wrong person for this time. He's someone who has built his career on making a virtue of moderation and bipartisanship. He ran for the primary in 2020 promising to be the candidate who could work with Republicans and reach across the aisle. He was...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    Civil War - absolute trash. Aims for social commentary but absolutely fails. I don't think it's possible to take this incendiary topic (especially in the current context) and remove it of political commentary. At best this feels like a cheap out and a refusal to take a stand that could be...

    He's arguably, aside the lunatic Fetterman, the most stridently pro-Israel Democrat to be anywhere close to a level of seniority in the party (as Senator in the 1980s, he was critical of Reagan for not being adequately supportive of them). He's not the right person to be in charge with Israel...

    Trump being forced to watch boomer Facebook memes for hours while trying not to fall asleep is the funniest and best punishment he's had to endure yet.

    Society/Culture Landlords - What is the point?

    As bad as Australia is, a story out of Canada shows how things could be worse (and utterly insane). A court has ruled a tenant can be held liable for taxes that a non-resident landlord fails to pay.

    Priest Stabbed Live Stream in Sydney

    Despite the blue check, which we know isn't a sign of legitimacy in the current Twitter, that page does not seem particularly credible. From what I can see, the first mention of the attacker shouting "Allahu Akbar" came from renowned British loon Oli London. I think a good lesson to take from...

    Because there’s been discussion about DeSantis recently, it’s worth noting that his popularity has absolutely spiralled (and he certainly wouldn’t win a reelection by the margin he did in 2022 if he faced another election).

    I'm not sure there are more homeless people than there are those who've had an abortion. I don't think that's true at all. It is true, though, that there are too many homeless people and it is a disgrace, one that neither Democrat nor Republican are interested in doing enough about (or here...
