You've already played this card, mates. You lost.

This cape fear reboot is just Amy Adams being really serious.

Look I’m just an old lefty, but if the leader of a supposedly progressive party has been knighted, I’m pretty sure that a 🚩 right there that he ain’t exactly in touch with the people

Fancy being an accountant and still feeling flight or fight heading into work. The most mollycoddled, least dangerous job there is.

But Israel doesn’t have anything to answer for. Amirite Charlie?

The Australian Taxation Office took a massive L today with the Bendel case and nobody cares they’re not tax dweebs 🥲

Somebody tell the Guardian that this ain't a Bravo apple. For starters, the skin is a deep maroon - a result of cross breeding with blueberries. This is not it.

My parents are pensioners and absolutely fuck all to their name. They own their house outright, which is something but no savings, no income stream other than the age pension. Centrelink have arbitrarily reduced their pension by $100. The next fortnight will be a further $200. Dad is 80 next year.

You can't make this shit up.

hi👋🏼what corporate media call “polls” are a commercial product that is commissioned and paid for ~ by corporate media ~ to use for generating coverage and wielding political influence.

🐷🙅‍♀️🤝🫂

Did some interval running Saturday morning and pulled up incredibly not good. At the point where my legs felt like concrete blocks. Even though I'm still a little worse for wear, I am undeterred. Running used to bring such joy, and I'm looking for more of that please and thank you.

I’m sitting with a pint at Picabar and “loneliness #3 (sleep talking)” from the HER original sound track comes on, and this really is something. Even for Picabar. youtu.be/KGv93utkrjc?...

I am begging you Greg. Read another fucking book.

The one this that you can count on is that the ATO portal will fall to shit at the exact time that you need it. Fuck sakes, get your shit together.

Handing over 600K to Barnaby Joyce to be the Special Envoy for the Drought was far cheaper and less dodgy than what's going on with the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism.

Feeling like a Friday, so on that basis I am not going to work tomoz.

I've seen some modelling that the removal of the CGT discount and reverting to indexing can lead to better tax outcomes for assets held long term. There is zero way you can justify a discount for assets held for a touch over 12 months.

We're at the tax cuts stage of post budget bargaining.

I've been procrastinating all day, but I've achieved more in the past 2 hours listening to Angel Olsen than I have in all the previous hours combined 😍

I know he's still touring, but I genuinely don't know what he looks like these days. All publicity shots seem to be of 20 years ago.

wait youre telling me a 'Mexican' fast food chain made by two white aussie investor bros using other people's names and likeness to pretend to be authentic failed in the american market where their competition was actually authentic Mexican food? there was simply no way of predicting that

Getting a promotion. Yay. Or kinda. Not sure.

And just like that, Guzman y Gomez are exiting the US market. One of the most ill-considered and ridiculous business decisions ever made.

Refuse to acknowledge bracket creep as a legitimate current day issue. Wage growth is non-existent. That is - higher remuneration for the same work, which is the benchmark. Getting a promotion, receiving more money for more responsibility naturally you should pay more tax.

Remarkable how we've had 25 years of weekly Waddabout Tax Reform and the people perennially Calling For It instantly wet their pants in public if anyone actually tries it.

Finally submitting the divorce application after 8 years of separation. There is no part of me that wishes that this relationship had survived, but there’s feelings bubbling underneath the surface that had laid dormant for a long time. Inadequacy, failure, sadness.

Intergenerational warfare popped up in today's leadership meeting. Kids these days don't have the same motivation to work hard and just want to be influencers! Yeah, no shit - the social contract has been torn up. You can work as hard as you like and you get nothing. Why would you "work hard".

Angus Taylor can’t tell us how much his new tax policy costs or how he’ll pay for it. The speech didn’t survive an hour. An absolute train wreck.

Of the tax changes announced in the budget, the most monumental change is the treatment of discretionary trusts, but it’s not registering with people like negative gearing or CGT. People don’t understand trusts.

Tell ya what - waking up this morning and trawling through the Linked IN is absolute gold. The sky is falling in for these mother fuckers.

Can STAN just fuck off into the nether region already? We have too many streaming services as it is without some niche Australian thing picking up the rights for every niche thing we want to watch.,

Tim Wilson is a dipshit talking about housing affordability whilst advocating for people to drain their superannuation to fund house purchases as if that in of itself is not an inflationary policy. This guy wants house prices to rise. It's his only motive. The only way he knows how to make money.

Night and day between Tim Wilson and Jim Chalmers.

This fixation on breaking election promises is dumb. An election is a beauty pageant and let's not pretend that it's anything but. We need Govt to be able to change tack and make changes in real time. We can't dick around and wait every 3 years to make a decision.

You what the government should have done? Kill the concept of "Pre-CGT". These people have had 40 years to realise a gain on their assets. Time is up.

Heard an argument that changes to CGT will hurt first homebuyers speculating in shares to afford a house. Investing is gambling. We're relying on gambling to buy a house now? Haha.

Barnaby Joyce is looking like he's embalmed in scotch.

Night and day between Tim Wilson and Jim Chalmers.

The tears of these goons could sustain me indefinitely.

Our newly renovated office has a small room with a singular chair so you have somewhere to go if you want to cry to yourself when deadlines become too much 😍

The slop machine approves of my work.

In addition to the CGT general discount and the negative gearing changes, a rumour is going around that the Govt may look to taxing trusts as companies. Would be massive if it happens. Would upset a tonne of people, but would also simplify the tax system immeasurably (ignoring transition).

Outlook is like a little window into anxiety.

I am on the precipice of normal people sizings. It's always been this inverse relationship - when I was skin and bones, there were no clothes in my exact size, but they'd stock larger sizes. When I'm larger, they don't stock the larger sizes.

Colour - shrouded in bullshit. They're grey. Just say grey.

I love feedback, I love noise. I love droning strings. With that said, I could probably have saved myself $60 on the RSD release of Sonic Youth's Diamond Sea - a plunderphonic collation of feedback that sounds like the band setting up.

Only four+ months late, mateys

I love this so much and could listen to it forever in an eternal slumber. So ethereal. youtu.be/muigi5-Yt8c?...

It's always interesting to check out what's left over after Record Store Day comes to a close. There's always some absolute shit leftover that stores are stuck with and it only leaves you wondering why it was pressed in the first place.
