when the AI bubble pops I'll be swooping in and buying those data centres and turning them into dining precincts. i'm talking a Guzman Y Gomez, a Grilld, a Rolld, a Coffee Club, a Fratelli Fresh, a Strike Bowling

Stumbling disoriented in the streets, raising a pocketwatch still set to 8am into the faces of passersby and wailing “they took my hour! THEY TOOK MY HOUR!”

Tilly Norwood is a fantastic name for an actress who was born in 1897, appearing briefly in silent films before dying of tuberculosis, which she contracted on the set of London After Midnight.

Here’s a good thing to do: get a load of pears, chop ‘em up, get rid of the gnarly bits, put ‘em in a big pot, cover in water, throw in some cinnamon sticks, star anise, orange zest, then stew ‘em. Have ‘em for breakfast all week it’s phenomenal. I’m eating pears right now!

The influences you grab onto when young and don't let go, I'm faintly echoing Patricia Routledge so often when trying to be funny, just relishing the silly way words can SOUND "but we're spunky in Cheadle, we totter on" that's the line reading of a damn titan, vale www.youtube.com/watch?v=wisQ...

Oh jeeze just heard that another colleague was made redundant today, really hoped I wasn’t going to be the canary in the proverbial mine but sounds like they’re about to go through the joint with a scythe

For a long while now I’ve been convinced that convenience is the modern world’s great quiet evil but after the past few days I’m willing to say that the concept of HR simply cannot be plumbed in terms of the sheer depths of its evil

Oh SBS World Movies you are my constant bulwark in personal turmoil (by always screening Amadeus)

A friend I was messaging about yesterday’s horridness was all shit Hayley come out for coffee with me this morning, I said I dunno I think I’m technically still working until I tell them whether I’m accepting the redundancy package? “Hayley. What are they going to do, FIRE you?” I’m getting coffee

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

This is so beautiful! The little rosy knees!!

Welp guess who got told today their job is being made redundant because AI

It’s Paris but people get very upset hearing that so instead I’ll say that Chester in the UK had incredibly cursed vibes

Mum’s garden was doing some incredible it’s spring, fuckos areas during the footy long weekend

Watching The Friends of Eddie Coyle with my dad and thinking that cinema was better when 1) computer hadn’t ruined bank robberies 2) character actors had proper average joe character actor faces 3) all cars had beautiful lines, and 4) Robert Mitchum

My favourite part of today’s afl men’s grand final given I had no investment in who won was the channel 7 news team crossing to a pub in Fitzroy heaving with celebrating Lions fans and a drunk girl dropped a “fucking” live on the 6pm news

Good morning, a gentle reminder

Went to the movies last night and it’s lucky no one was sitting too close to me during the trailers to hear me break down on finding out about the Bradley Cooper stand up comedian movie, just me quietly hissing “why don’t you just take my kidneys you bastard, I hate you, I’ll be there opening day”

The HOOTING I just hollered www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Ever since I started working at the cemetery I get so many questions from friends about end of life care, about organising funerals, about what you need and what you defs DON’T need and I’ve been like fuck I should become a funeral celebrant well I think I’m gunna do it FOR REAL

I love the poo farm and I love @birdmichael.bsky.social being quoted by journos as a bird nerdery expert www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Sorry to use this microblogging site like Instagram (which I am ineffectually trying to quit) but I had one of the best meals of my life last night and am lying in bed thinking about crepes in broth and fresh morel mushrooms and tearing up

My most Greatest Generation complaint? More films should end like they did in the 1940s: the minute the action ends, someone says something witty like 'next time, let's take a cab', followed by big orchestral 'dun dunnnnn DUNNNNNNN' and 'THE END'.

Neil Young, Lou Reed, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, INXS then later Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Oasis, The Strokes, the man has always kept up with whatever guitar bands are doing

@sedna51.bsky.social @aeirlys.bsky.social Can’t believe Dinosaur Comics made this about us reading Admiral Cloudberg

Not everyone gets to live out the dream of having a former workplace actually burn down but today, I feast www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

LRT: I don’t care at all about Star Wars but I do care IMMENSELY about Tansy’s kind of deep diving film and cultural criticism, fulsomely recommend her podcast Going Rogue for answering so many “so why did [big tentpole Hollywood release] end up like THAT?” questions with truly incredible research

I conned Heat Death into letting me write about Star Wars, costuming, textiles' intrinsic link to the history of Empires, Eurocentric fashion standards and why film fascists are always Nazis because we managed to beat those ones. heat-death.ghost.io/decline-and-...

This made someone’s ears burn because I FINALLY GOT AN EMAIL REPLY we may have a hall!!!

For the past few weeks I have been trying to lock in a community or council venue so I can throw a little civilised indoor picnic for my friends for my birthday, and do you think anyone responsible for monitoring venue hire requests for these places ever responds to emails/calls DO THEY FUCK

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.

goddamn who wants to come over for dinner so I can make these buttery oniony cheesey dilly dumpling thingos???? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The other week I watched This Property is Condemned which is a wild film in a lot of ways and I think generally treated as a mid-60s curio whether you like Tennessee Williams, Francis Ford Coppola or indeed Redford, but I was fascinated that the whole thing hinged on Robert Redford’s performance…

Ohhh this is such a lovely episode and he's so dreamy in it, what a man

One of my favorite Robert Redford stories is when Mike Nichols was considering him for "The Graduate" and told him he needed to act like a guy who has struck out with women and Redford replied "what do you mean?"

Trying to tidy my house cos I have a rental inspection on Thursday (boo hiss) and just fished out an industrial N95 mask from a crafts project bag and realised oh so that’s how long it’s been since I last worked on this, this mask isn’t even from the pando it’s from the 2019 bushfires

As I get older (I’m nearly 40, allow me at least a veneer of wisdom!) I become more convinced that to arm yourself well against becoming a miserable old coot is to always be on guard against becoming someone who is constantly grieving what they do not have and to ignore the siren call of comparison

russel crowe pulling up to whataburger drive thru in that little popes exorcist vespa and you had better believe he is doing the accent

I got paid yesterday (aside: monthly pay cycles should be illegal) so I’m spending the morning topping up all my regular mutual aid funds, believe me I know how easy it is to topple into despair but if you have the means even by one or two bucks this is the most direct way to actually MAKE change

If anyone can arrange it I would very much like to not be sick anymore, thanks

Goats admit one SECURED 🎟️🐐

Watched Careful, He Might Hear You tonight and goddamn we used to make proper haunted period dramas in this country that culminate in a scene where a child psycho-sexually torments his rich repressed aunt who basically legally kidnapped him and I think we need to retvrn to it

This may be the lurgy talking but both CMAT and The Mountain Goats announced Australian tours this morning and I am uncontrollably weeping on my couch everything’s FINE

Been dealing with a mystery lurgy (headache and a throat that feels like razorblades ONLY no other symptoms) and as always being sick when you live alone is the only truly bad thing about living alone, please applaud me for managing to feed and look after myself while feeling like death

imagine being the first human to pour some egg in with rice and fry it together with oil. we owe whoever that was so much

Called my dad to wish him a happy vati’s day, he and mum are on holiday up near Port Douglas and he was about to launch into a breakfast of fruit danishes and later on has plans to visit a local car show, incredible dad areas being achieved
