Baffle no more. My @smh @theage cartoon.

ALERT ALERT THIS IS NOT A DRILL SBS is showing the first three seasons of #TheExpanse from July.

We measure the health of nations by GDP. A metric that counts oil spills, deforestation, and war cleanup as profit. That’s not health. That’s a death certificate with good accounting.

You know a great female-centered superhero film? Julia Hart's FAST COLOR.

the question isn't, "do Jewish people deserve their own state because of their history of persecution?" the question is, "do persecuted people have a special dispensation to persecute others?"

I reckon one of the biggest reasons Aus media loves Pauline Hanson so much is because she's perfected what they've always aspired to: being as racist as possible while maintaining a thin shred of concern-trolling plausible deniability by pretending you're just concerned about some other issue

Saul Bass’ quietly fabulous poster for 1961’s Fifth San Francisco International Film Festival.

Not sure how to kick off your 'Supergirl Summer' from Superman? How about a fresh, fun, anime-style Man of Steel show that feels like a warm hug (and season 3 just started). geeksociety.com.au/2026/06/24/w...

I have the album (which is not essential but has some nice bits in it.) Didn't think a musical was that far away (but doubt he can get the same vocal cast as the album.)

Oh shit - there goes my bail bond

RIP James Burrows On of the greats

They *can't* fact check! Like how a very young child can't understand that a model of a room corresponds to the real room -- the cognitive hardware just *isn't there*. The simplest, most obvious thing imaginable, checking your facts against a reliable source -- and it's *physically incapable* of it!

Watched this last night. Wonderfully difficult to describe. Blind purchase from Arrow but way worth it. #filmsky boxd.it/eQ7V49

Hey - get your OWN Criterion Closet! #filmsky the-criterion-closet.vercel.app

this is nightmarish.

One of my four most favourite films

It's weird how the Reflecting Pool now resembles a swamp that needs to be drained

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

Anyone know what's happened to #pinboard ? It's been down for almost a day

Seems like the circuses part of bread & circuses is working just fine

And it's an excellent story too

Drok! I wake to find John Wagner has been awarded an MBE “for services to British comic books and the comic book industry”. Hurrah & hurrah again for John Wagner!

The higher SpaceX's valuation gets, the deeper my heart sinks

Michael Gove is on #HaveIGotNewsForYou Ian Hislop and Paul Merton look suitably unimpressed. I assume high-level BBC favours were traded.

One of the most obvious and least useful policy proposals is summed up as "we need people to be better." But policy can't make people better. Where policy needs to work is in the systems space - making things better without relying on people magically *becoming* better.

It's because happy courtside Spike Lee looks the way Toriyama would have drawn him in Dr. Slump.

So are we going to talk about the Epstein Files for a couple of days and then let it slip away again or are we going to -TALK ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES - until they are fully released??

ABC fellas stop chumming with far-right domestic abusers challenge

Backrooms is what you get when you deny an entire generation or more access to third spaces

One day after I post this, news that Libertarian Party (Atlas Network partner product) is sponsoring an anti-abortion bill in NSW. One Nation’s Joyce is speaking at the rally. This is all an interconnected op. Advance proved enormously effective and divisive outside “teal” seats re Voice. #auspol

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Maybe we should stop calling it accelerationism and call it technosupremecism instead

This week's Sunday Shot is me, @instanterudite.bsky.social and favourites Crikey's @crystaljane.bsky.social and climate journo @roycerk2.bsky.social. We're discussing a week of Senate estimates, the return of the Sumud activists, and the emergence of a "Teals" party. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrM7...

istg I had not seen this before I reacted to yet another blandified ABC report of the Israeli genocide in Lebanon but as usual a @theshot.net.au writer has said it more comprehensively than me. Bravo and thank you @boganintel.bsky.social theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Name your fav non-DC or Marvel comic book movie

New arrivals (from the Viavision sale)

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

This is the year I apparently have to deal with consultants Who put all their reports into powerpoint slides Are they 12 or something?

Wait - Kiyoshi Kurosawa's directed a samurai film?!?! Can't wait to see it #filmsky www.avclub.com/the-samurai-...

there is genuine ignorance among witnesses as well as a deliberate strategy to read hasbara into the public record at this Royal Commission. Fact checking can barely keep up with zionists reciting pro-Israel narratives - noble start from Deepcut here. www.deepcutnews.com/p/fact-check...

Impatiently waiting for Boots Riley's I Love Boosters IMDB gives the release date as 22/5/26 (i.e. last week.) Flicks.com.au has no release date It does not appear to be classified yet (based on a search of www.classification.gov.au ) Anyone have an idea when it's going to be released here?

I guess my only real problem with AI is that it doesn't work, uses all the water, makes the worst people who ever slime-trailed across this green earth richer, gives monsters cover to crater organizations, destroys lives in both obvious & subtle ways & also isn't even AI. Besides that, I'm for it.

The cuck porn piece is basically just reiterating something that Reich figured out in 1933.
