I love Melbourne more than you could possibly comprehend AND every time I go anywhere else I think to myself “Oh yeah our weather fkn sucks hard we need therapy”:

I had no idea that slapping a Weyland-Yutani patch on my gear-pack would lead to so many conversations. Young mate serving food just told me about his encounters with everything Alien. Me: “Oh yeah the crew of the Betty are the basis of Firefly” YM: “Firewhat?” Me: “Mate, get a notepad”

How on earth is Quark Xpress still alive? www.quark.com

Guess we know who did the Toynbee Tiles now.

The salesperson for “Worst Hotel Door Locks, LLC” really made a killing in Newcastle.

Yeeeew, gang. I'm going to be in Newcatle until Saturday. What do people who know the town recommend a non-drinker do there for fun? (I will be doing a dawn swim at Bogey Hole; that is a given)

…Is the perfect strategy to have. I’d love more coders to take that attitude because a lot lives in their layer but at least designers can keep the focus. Accessibility is related to usability. Both are aspects of design. As a designer it’s our literal duty to make it work

Man I wish Bruce Ruxton were alive to see this.

Waiting for Musk to say his favourite film is The Night Porter.

SHTCNT

They unilaterally put the price of Remembrance Poppies up to $37.50, but it comes with an AI agent named Ruxton who screams obscenities at people with skin marginally darker than yours.

Am I doing this right? I have so many phrases in my muted words list that I have no idea what's going on and yet I really want to be involved.

Fucking hell these glasses go hard.

People are all like “Oh so sad that Coppola had to sell his island in Belize because Megalopolis flopped”, but all I see is that an island an Belize costs less than a decent apartment in Manly.

Oh hello.

Once I put it into your head you will never again be able to hear Rimsky Korsakov’s “Procession of the Nobles” without thinking of it as the soundtrack to a Western that was never made. youtu.be/7w06Ip094vQ?...

Hey if your CO2 monitor in your house keeps going off, a little life hack is to not have it right by your soda-water maker.

This is how I’ll always remember Lawsy. Three sheets to the wind, trying to get into Leigh Sales trousers via remote video link. youtu.be/OTnvXdapUzs?...

For the sake of balance it’s about fkn time someone made a film about all the GOOD things Weyland-Yutani has done.

The text messages have begun — “Um have you seen Pluribus because that actress is @erinmargrethe.bsky.social .”

That Dan Trachtenberg sure knows how to make a compelling Predator movie.

I absolutely love how every now and then a movie set in an industrial space-future has Pinzgauers and Haflingers cruising around in the background.

If someone is warning you about fascism and they’re on Substack they’re asking you to do something they’re not willing to do.

Saw Hatchie last night & thought, "She sounds like a mix of The Sundays, & Curve, & maybe more than a little Chapterhouse. This morning drove @erinmargrethe.bsky.social to work & forced her to listen to Chapterhouse. Then put on podcast and @hotdogsladies.bsky.social is talking about … Chapterhouse.

OMG THANK YOU youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo?...

The first time you see a Kia Tasman up close and personal is a religious experience. Like self-flagellation or being nailed to planks of wood.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

I keep telling you, the motor vehicle peaked in 2008. 5.2l/100 and everything has a button, a dial or a knob. Traction control, ABS, brake-force balancing, but no robot yelling at you if you look out a side window. And it’s a wagon. We must return.

Operation “If it travels, it’s orange” is on track. (I constantly lose shit in hotel rooms, airport xray trays, seat back pockets, so now I have orange headphones, watch, Bluetooth speaker, phone, laptop, and backpack.)

Hoo boy. AI agent spam sales calls can get all the way fucked.

You’re laughing? You’re laughing? Wyatt Roy is gonna have to find a new grift and you’re LAUGHING?

Ah, the old "better things aren't possible" routine. Classic. www.theage.com.au/culture/musi...

I mean this is true AND Edward II had a red-hot poker inserted into his anus until it killed him, so maybe you're overlooking their superlative historic achievements in regicidal innovation.

Close your eyes when Mamdani speaks and your brain will show you an image of a very earnest Muppet. It’s fun. I keep seeing Scooter at age 35. He’s doing well.

They are NOT calling it the “Beaver Moon”.

I wonder if the Justice Department will remember they were only holding fire on Eric Adams because he was useful.

Do I like the AppleTV show “The Last Frontier”, or do I just like hearing ‘Classical Gas’ once a week? youtu.be/JSUREr1nzGk?...

Sublime

hahahahah i love these posts so hard

Respond with the same actor as hero and villain.

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?

A box containing Gwyneth Paltrow’s head has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

His brain is now being installed into the long-prophesied juggernaut, Mecha-Cheney!

James Bond and The Rock. Connery’s character in The Rock is clearly the pre-Moore 007, disavowed by MI6 — because he borked the “Scare Kennedy in Dallas” job.

I love corporate-branded Zoom backgrounds. They’re like a clip-on tie for your webcam.

I am Fozzie-mandius King of Zings Listen to my jokes ye mighty And despair

A movie you’ve seen more than 7 times with a gif

This wouldn’t be the same James Young that begged folks to buy Cherry Memberships on Patreon for a monthly fee during lockdown, promising all kinds of benefits that never materialised would it? Because that guy should shut his fucking mouth forever. So this can’t be him. apple.news/A0_df7QNlSM-...
