Gonna start saying “in Minotaur” instead of “in miniature”

isn't that all just...technology and modernity tho?

People are just insane now of days

"The scheme generates almost $1bn annually for the Australian economy, while just $184m is sent back to the 10 countries providing workers for Australian farms, abattoirs, hotels and aged care facilities."

Yeah Sam just worked Frodo’s garden and called him Master as a joke, there was no class dynamic there at all

Him dropping Eco as a previous winner was a nice touch given this whole farce reads like something from Foucault’s Pendulum

You really wouldn’t need many tweaks to get Star Wars (1977) made in the Third Reich

idk sounds like shit

1977: Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb, addresses the Queensland Parliament. His visit was sponsored by Gina Rinehart’s father, Lang Hancock, who wanted to use nuclear explosives to extract iron ore and create a new Pilbara harbour to accommodate massive ore ships

How about we’re helping you by telling you to go do something about it rather than posting this fatuous garbage

Since this discourse is back this is what I sincerely believe. Everyone wants to think it's bc their personal ideology doesn't feel welcome here. It's actually because there aren't enough fandom subcultures which is basically the unspoken lifeforce of all social media platforms

People are sharing this around like it’s hugely insightful but it’s a monument to Orwell’s paranoia and delusion. He literally believed that Stalin and Roosevelt had secretly agreed to fake the Cold War to enable the permanent domination of the world. www.marxists.org/archive/deut...

THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY (1980) stars Bob Hoskins as Harold Shand, an East End gangster and wannabe property kingpin, who gets his criminal empire blown to bits when he crosses the IRA, an ideologically driven foe who he can’t bribe or bully into submission. No relevance to anything going on right now.

can he say that?

“Mr Speaker, this isn’t the Labor Party it’s the Labubu Party, because like Brad Pitt in Se7en you don’t know what’s in the Box.” Hire me Angus. We can turn this around.

going back in time to make peter greenaway do a titus groan movie at gunpoint in the 80's

BROKE: Australia should not develop nukes WOKE: Australia should develop nukes BESPOKE: Australia already developed nukes with the assistance of Aum Shinrikyo, as evidenced by the Banjawarn Station incident of 1993

In 2009, this was the mask of a UK SAS character in “Call of Duty.” By 2015 it was de rigeur among Iraqi government commandos and Shiite militiamen. In 2018, in “Sicario 2,” it was what CIA surrogate characters wore to disguise themselves as cartel gunmen. Now US law enforcement wears it.

In 2015 Australia wasn't too far way from its own version (precursor) of ICE. Operation Fortitude was a joint Aust Border Force/Vic Police operation to crackdown on "antisocial behaviour" and "visa fraud". Only a leaked press release and strong public outcry/protest prevented it.

Hey wow look the stupid fascist who does stupid things for attention did a stupid thing - let’s post it everywhere!

oh so he doesn’t understand history

Just saw the latest Mr Beast video — a young teacher has to spend four weeks in the outback town of Bundanyabba

As we enter the Yuletide season, this is my annual reminder to all of you that Ted Kotcheff’s WAKE IN FRIGHT (1971) is a Christmas film.

They call themselves Binary Australia but all I’m seeing is zeros…

Not really a hot take but generational discourse is only good for light ribbing of withered remnants and gormless saplings, anyone who treats their age bracket as a meaningful political category is wasting their own time

No one look at this exclusive rat picture. Thanks.

Convincing, until you try and count the wine glasses on the bar or inquire into the number and arrangement of the bartender’s fingers. But when people already fall for obvious slop (or crude photoshops back in the day) I guess that’s plenty.

To the extent that this echange deserves reflection, it speaks to Johnson’s painfully tryhard effort to make TLJ a Morally Serious Star Wars Movie. I disagree with Sean but that scene is a jarring introduction of the extremities of war into a setting that hasn’t built up any real sense of it.

Incorrect, Kennedy shot Oswald.

Going through some archives and found this pearler. Definitely one of the best to ever do it. #TeenVogue

When I was a kid, I used to believe "there's no way private cars would be allowed if they were introduced today and people saw the rate of accidents/deaths", watching these stories pile up is like a giant slowly-but-steadily unfurling banner that reads "think again, buddy'

legitimate theatre

you mean the geniuses behind the Electoral College?

the most useful book I read this year

I’m sure to some extent they are afraid of him, but I think their real fear is what they stand to lose in the “chaos” of actually doing something about him
