Escapist Routes time! This week I watched The Lowdown, The Morning Show, and Down Cemetery Road, and asking the question: is the overuse of composite scenes and body doubles in AppleTV shows something akin to a house style?

SARAH SNOOK WINE MOM THRILLER LET’S GO

Why do these earrings look like they’re about to take over Starfleet Command and seek peaceful coexistence?

Flagging this specifically for @nogodsnomayors.com

Fuck off into the bin with this, Nine. Commercial organisation expects the Govt to bail it out at every turn.

The rise of passkeys and 2FA and authenticator apps is good, actually, because every time I think about upgrading my phone, I remember that I'll have to call work's IT to get the authenticators set up again, and all that nonsense.

Sky is a reputable media company in most of the world, it’s always so embarrassing when people find out that Sky Australia is just Fox Down Under.

I made a playlist of every artist on the Laneway lineup, and any time I hear a song that’s utter shite, it turns out to be Geese.

I think PJ Harvey and I would not be friends.

Can confirm, but the boys defy stereotypes because the terrifying demon is the ginger one.

I was indifferent to the aesthetics of the Enterprise D until the unwarranted and offensive fatshaming in Picard, when I decided I love her. And that Lego kit is AWFUL. I thought it was AI! The Ro Laren minifig, however…

This won’t be rolled out to Victoria right away, which gives me time to figure out the timer on the washing machine.

I don’t ever want to get married, but I’d love to try being a sexy widow in a neo-noir for a day.

I know I could stop watching The Morning Show, but then I’d miss these great performances by Reese and Jennifer’s body doubles as the show pretends the lead actresses are in the same room. Also, it looks like motion smoothing has been applied specifically to Aniston’s face? It looks pastede on? Yey?

You know what? I take it back. Senator David Pocock seems like a good egg. I don't know the full ins and outs of his work, but every time he crosses my path, he's being progressive and acting with integrity. Best case scenario for ex-rugby players going into politics.

Honestly wild that we as a culture used to let Shazad Latif go around with his chin half-naked like that. His beard is load-bearing!

Remember when the Apple website was, for some reason, the only place on the internet you could reliably watch movie trailers?

The ALP will learn nothing from this

TERRIBLE NEWS I thought this week's episode of The Morning Show was the season finale, but actually the season is STILL GOING when will this nightmare END

When the Mamdani win inspires you, an Australian, to see if there are any local candidates with promise, experience and strong campaigns to get behind...

I’m off the train; if anyone asks, I merely have a normal amount of respect for Mr Mamdani.

Been on this train for an hour. Still not at work. If I die, please tell Zohran Mamdani I love him.

Uggghhhhh train problems.

Learning that Zohran Mamani is a banned topic in r/Democrats is the funniest thing I've seen all day. It's not yet 7am, but I can't imagine beating it.

Time To Embattlement: the countdown has begun

Came home from work to find a massive amount of cat hair on my bed. It looks like the lads were celebrating Zohran's win. They're firm democratic socialists - just because they live in a house now doesn't mean they've forgotten their roots. They want all cats to live in houses and poop in boxes.

Mamdani probably would have been expelled from the ALP

Thoughts and prayers to the @nogodsnomayors.com team on this most auspicious of mayoral nights

On the one hand, good news for Anson Mount. On the other hand, good news for my bank account as I continue to not subscribe.

Oh so New York actually does have an election eventually? They sure they don’t just want to talk about it for another year first?

Reported myself to my boss for not being sad about Cheney's death.

Come for my flatly inaccurate comments on costuming; stay for my "Georgiou has to take out Ian Troi and his eugenicist co-conspirators, starring Jess Bush as a young Lwaxana" streaming movie pitch.

I got in on the ground floor by watching him in Leonardo back in 2011!

Last night I dreamed that I met Zohran Mamdami and we talked about libraries, and in my dream, I woke up and thought, "Gee, I need to go back to NYC, how bad can America be, really?" and booked flights. So his street team (inception division) is doing a GREAT job.

Who at Ubisoft decided that multiplayer missions are the trick to levelling up in Assassin’s Creed: Unity? I just want to have a chat.

Here is a source!

Trekkies give Brannon Braga too much hate for "Threshold" and not enough for saying Seven should have died because she was metaphorically a rape victim.

On the blog! #StarTrekVoyager 7.23, "Homestead" - in which Tuvok finally gets rid of Neelix for good.

I'm not sure what it is about me, but any time I put an out of office notice up on my email, this one stakeholder takes it as a sign they should ring me up.

The other day I decided to use up the rest of my square sketchbook by illustrating album covers I like. Naturally, I immediately lost all memory of ever having listened to an album, ever, in my life.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever read. I’m so happy.
