At 77, the otherworldly Grace Jones still has it and is proudly flaunting it.

The Beauty has sucked me back in with episode 8. The Isabella, Tig, and Gunther trifecta is my kind of stupid. And that opening ad was far too persuasive. Tell me where to sign my life away. #TheBeauty

Finally got around to watching 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The most violent of the series with graphic torture scenes, which really isn't my cup of tea. But seeing Ralph Fiennes as 'Old Nick' writhing to Iron Maiden was a lot of fun. He seems to be having the time of his life.

For lovers of Blue Note Records, this is a blast.

America's new health plan just dropped.

Ashton Kutcher is the weak link in The Beauty. His signature brand of smug doofus lands like a lead balloon. #TheBeauty

A Sydney beach on Wednesday morning.

Thank you, Zali. This is why we voted for you. More please.

Worst episode of MAFS ever! #auspol

This is pretty fantastic.

Episode 5 of The Beauty just dropped. #TheBeauty

This Fallout season proves that award shows are failing us by not having a dedicated category for 'Best Hat.' The nominees are...

So sad to hear James Valentine is retiring. The airwaves just won't be the same without his wit, charm, and kindness. Wishing you nothing but the best, James! Take care of yourself. #Sydney702 #ABCSydney #JamesValentine www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

The ultimate crossover episode

It's Corey Bernadi, isn't it? Pauline and Barnaby must be desperate for the homophobe vote. I wonder when Eric Abetz will join this mob of cookers, cranks, and racists? #auspol

OMG... Isabella Rossellini's dialogue in The Beauty is pure filth. I love it.

Ryan Murphy is back to his Nip/Tuck roots with The Beauty, a body-horror fever dream that’s as lush as it is unhinged. Beautifully grotesque and my new must watch. youtu.be/rB1zzVLxKRU?...

"Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?" "We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

For fearless reporting and footage from someone who has spent years tracking and understanding , Groypers, RWNJs and MAGA loyalists, look no further than Amanda Moore. Plus, she doesn't take any crap.

Don't think of them as humans, think of them as Americans. #Fallout

Sorry, ladies. He's taken.

Who woulda thunk it: the kiddies love Aphex Twin. I interviewed him back in my student radio days; he trotted out the old dead twin story, and I bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Ryan Coogler is a dude! www.criterion.com/shop/collect...

Seems like a good time to repost a little WH Auden.

Me watching the tennis

fat noodles, yes; fat bikes, no.

Back to the Future provided the perfect musical theatre escape yesterday. The DeLorean effects were a masterclass in theatre magic. We are lucky to have a world-class talent like Javon King in this production, who lit up the stage every time he walked on.

Happy Cooker Day to all who celebrate.

Wawrinka is playing some beautiful tennis. #ausopen

If you’ve ever caught a bus and wondered if your driver was insane, this thread is for you.

A great read on how second-screen viewing is changing cinema for the worse. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Popehat dropping some wisdom.

Five episodes into Leonard and Hungry Paul and it is exactly the type of show I need right now. Quiet, kind, and the perfect escape from the ever escalating madness.

Elie Mystal’s latest article in The Nation regarding the Supreme Court’s move to legalise bigotry and dismantle constitutional rights is worth a read.

I stumbled across to new enjoyable British comedies: Dawn French's 'Can You Keep a Secret' and the wonderfully understated 'Leonard and Hungry Paul.'

Part one of Elie's reporting on John Roberts and his merry gang of bigots.

Elie Mystal's threads covering today's Supreme Court oral arguments for West Virginia v B.P.J. and Little v Hecox. Looks like ignorance and bigotry are going to win... again.

Gotta love The Onion.

Five Star Cinema in Newcastle has reopened after an 80s refit and it looks fab. Lovely geometric orange, brown & yellow carpets, brown bathroom tiles, stucco ceilings, and lovely vintage posters. I saw Song Sung Blue, a predictable colour-by-numbers drama powered by Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson

Christ Church Cathedral Newcastle is my kind of church. A massive shout-out to the caterers and waitstaff who make Christmas happen for those of us who are officially 'over' the whole holiday cooking thing!

Merry Christmas from Newcastle! I’m off to stuff my face and have a drink or two while maintaining my usual charm. Hope you all have a brilliant day.

The VP throws his three biracial children under the racist bus for political gain.

This needs to be shared.

Many people in Sydney will be having a sleepless night tonight, anxious and not knowing if their loved ones are involved. Show a little kindness and compassion by not spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

All this male bullshit. It is well past time that we ditched being run by needy old white men.

The level of absurdity in this show's writing is beyond parody.

The world's deadliest military is weaponised by the amoral to kill for 'troll' gratification. Cancel AUKUS!

A government where the sole purpose of cabinet members is to flatter an insane, old, narcissistic buffoon.

Frau Leavitt, who confirmed America’s policy of accepting only white refugees.
