We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

Casting idea: Adam Scott as young George Lucas

There are always some freaks whose favourite Neapolitan ice-cream flavour is strawberry Same freaks who like strawberry sundaes and strawberry wafers

Anthony Albanese stands behind this. Why would you trust a person who condones gross abuses of human rights, and genocide, to govern in YOUR interests? It’s not just something from which we in Australia are far removed. The genocide supporters are here, too. How does this not frighten people?

Am constantly told we're making cartoon villains out of big tech but this is the name of the guy planning a 1 gigawatt fossil fuel plant in Australia for a proposed data centre theenergy.co/article/ex-d...

As is tradition by now every year

I can’t explain why but I really like the meme of “feeling bonita”

If superhero movies are power fantasies about geopolitical agency, constrained by institutions, I’m intrigued by the idea that a “shared universe” is about being in community Reminds me that what I crave in storytelling is shared agency & shared consequences the idea that the world needs everyone

gumby was always saying this

Sans serif typefaces really make anyone called ‘AL’ into a robot (I’ve noticed this while working at MIFF, whose artistic director is a human man named Al)

"It is not illegal for an Australian citizen to fight for a foreign military. It is, however, illegal to fight for a foreign non-state actor." Nation-states are such hypocritical fictions: "be existentially loyal only to us, except when your loyalty is more convenient to another nation"

Just discovered that if you go to your SBS account details you can opt out of gambling or alcohol adverts.

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Jul 1st - Nickie Ferrante and Terry McKay agree to reunite at the top of the Empire State Building on this date, if they have ended their current relationships and started new careers. 📽️📅 An Affair to Remember (1957)

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!

My carefully curated meme library will rise again

There’s a show called ‘Shipwrecked at Sea’ Worse than being shipwrecked at dock – by far!!

There’s never been a ceasefire! lsraeI continues to bomb the fuck out of Gaza while the only people facing ANY consequences are the ordinary people being jailed, sacked, assaulted, threatened, DARVO’d & ignored for saying lsrael’s genocide is bad & must be stopped!

Monash University recorded a 2025 surplus of $580 million but is asking for donations

I wonder if the good residents of Chattanooga ever ponder that they’re just a choo-choo to the rest of the world

Happy 100TH BIRTHDAY to the king Mel Brooks, who wore a fake extra finger to his handprint ceremony🥳🎂🥳

Just realised I have had the lyrics to Rihanna’s ‘Only Girl (in the World)’ wrong this whole time The opening lines are “I want you to love me / like I’m a hot ride” I thought it went “I want you to love me / like I’m a hot pie” Cos everyone loves a hot pie!!!

Had a revelation today: Céline Dion is the daughter of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy She has her mother’s personality and her dad’s physique

I absolutely would never take my car to a mechanic called Karworx Sounds like they specialise in clown cars 🤡🚗

when you spot one of your cat's shed whiskers on the ground, do you pick it up and place it on your bookshelf in the little jar where you keep all the other whiskers you find, chanting "whiskers for the whisker jar, whiskers for the whisker jar" or are you normal?

I have been caning it all week, working til 3am, 4am etc. Am running behind deadline on fumes NOT NOW, caterwauling neighbour! I haven't the strength last night she was in full throat & I feared she had new material, but I was in my lounge room from where i can't hear her as clearly

I edit loads of academic work that quotes from research interviews, and it's such a choice how people anonymise their participants: The 'Valjean': assigning them numbers The 'Vendetta': assigning them initials The 'McLovin': assigning them pseudonyms The 'Dredd': assigning them occupations

Child at the bus stop: “What would birds be like if they didn’t have wings? They couldn’t fly… they’d turn into a chicken”

(spooning ice cream out of the tub) "Sometimes the salted caramel is locked deep inside the tub, and sometimes it's right below the surface. Welcome back… …to Nate the Hoof Guy"

oh no everyone, A24 has A24'd an Anthony Bourdain biopic featuring "Antonio Banderas (Babygirl)"

One hundred per cent this was the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience of its day The panther was a stray cat The sea-monster was a dog with a skin disease The Savage Gambies, I fear, were probably two random people of colour

Just caved and put on the fingerless mittens that live year-round in my left 'work cardigan' pocket. I used to wear them every winter to WFH but I don't think I got them out once last year A thought came to me dully, like speech to a hermit: "your hands don't need to ache with the cold like this"

I got an email from Monash the other day about its back-pay efforts – the third university I've worked for that has done this

Just got a press release about how Tinder is casting pairs of "besties" for a TikTok reality show, Double Date Island You & your "bestie" must be aged 18–30 (no tragic codgers or hags need apply), "genuinely single" (lmao good luck with that) & "have an active verified Tinder account"

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Unbelievable! Fucken cop this! Babar – you know, the name made famous by the fictional African elephant king in the colonialist children's stories by Jean, Cécile and Laurent de Brunhoff – is a Persian name THAT MEANS 'TIGER'

check your banks Australian creatives, CAL money just landed, time to buy another bottle of (*checks amount*) mid-priced domestic bubbly from the discount bin.

I get off the bus at the second-last stop, and I often snap back to attention and feel like Ralph Wiggum

The BBC has plenty of blood on it's hands. IT IS COMPLICIT IN THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA. Supporters of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and GGEC place photos and stories of 255 Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza by Israel at the entrance to the BBC’s Glasgow headquarters.

Longest night of the year, and I’m working through it
