solved it: the national address was an april fool’s joke

Ok I’m loving the could have been an email takes about Albo’s national address but real talk who was that for. What percentage of Australians are watching free to air at 7pm? I need to understand the rationale

Shorter national address

I’ve been doing some really rudimentary research into petrol and diesel and I have one question. How and why have we got to the point where we and our entire economy are relying on a source of fuel that basically ages like milk? Petrol significantly degrades within 6 months!!!

Here’s a cogent and relevant take on the gas issue, to make up for me being illiterate about how much gas actually costs and how gas works

To be clear, I get that the gas prices are incredibly bad (and can impact EVERYONE even if you don’t drive) but, not gunna lie, as a non driver, when ppl talk about the price of oil, how many cents per litre or what have you, I’m like full Lucile… how much is it? Ten dollars?

A little bit of serenity in Woollahra

All the Chappell roan discourse on the internet feels like a psyop tbh. Like idk she’s probably annoying sometimes but like she hasn’t shot a puppy

My mum has started teaching herself teeline and folks, I’m WORRIED

Big love to all the workers at ABC going on strike tomorrow. Proud of u. Go get ‘em. U deserve so much better from management. I believe in u.

As a sunglasses enthusiast, I think ray bans have lost any shred of coolness bc of the meta ai glasses. Like I see someone wearing ray bans or any wayfarer adjacent specs and I’m like double checking-is there a light I see? Like honestly they are fast becoming associated with creeps

If astrology isn’t real why did Kyle and Jackie o break up over a disagreement over astrology and rip up their $200 million contract during a blood moon lunar eclipse with Virgo in the south node during Mercury retrograde???

What’s poppin’

Saturn moving into Aries… for good…got me like

This might be a niche problem but it is SO ANNOYING that comcourts has been updated so you can only have one case file open at a time 😭 You can get around it by having another window linked to a different chrome account but still.

…Trent? At the Mitski second-hand clothes shop event.

Live, Laugh, Libspill

Spills just aren't as exciting as they used to be. We used to be a real country.

Justice Wright’s decision in the matter of Lees v NSW , the challenge against the NSW govt’s decision declare Isaac Herzog’s visit as a major event, just dropped on caselaw. www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/19c...

I feel like the TV show “you’re the worst” never got its flowers. Also the Ben Folds arch in YTW was brilliant.

Wild.

Haven’t Geminis suffered enough? (This is a joke about crypto generally)

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I’ve only been 30 for like two months but honestly got to say its peak. My first Saturn return ends next week, so that is great. Youth is a scam being 30+ is lit

Aw yeah at the heated rivalry look alike contest in syd

Going to take a moment to miss Canberra on main. I miss Kita, the Indonesian fusion night cafe in Canberra. Like it was a great place to hang with friends and get a bite, without alcohol. I don’t know if there are any night cafes in Sydney…there should be night cafes in Sydney!

Dumb thoughts on main but here we go. The ABC is hiring a National AI reporter. Not a terrible idea, probably should have hired one back in 2023. But my question is what does a national AI reporter look like. Is it going to be a national AI booster or someone more critical.

I might be a completely geriatric 30 year old with this take but here we go: nothing cheapens or casualises a look more than drawstrings. Which is fine with pj’s or casual wear. But when I’m looking for businesswear and see pants with drawstrings I am mortified. Stop it.

Can someone pls do a heated rivalry inspired enemies to lovers edit of Shane Rattenbury and Mark Parton to the tune to that cover of all the things she said. I do not have the skills. Thank you

What’s this new coalition? region.com.au/rattenbury-a...

Listening to triple j hottest 100 as a geriatric 30 year old got me like:

ARLINGTON, Texas — Less than a month after demanding the release of a North Texas father detained by ICE, the disabled son of that man has died without his father by his side. www.wfaa.com/article/news...

Disturbed to discover the Stanley Cup IS real…

Absolute Cinema

YAY: new Mitski album next month NAY: hideous Mitski fandom discourse, driven by obsessive young fans, has already begun 😭

Aw yea new mitski album heck yeah

Actually Canada seems to be doing great stuff in terms of publicly funding/funded media. Heated rivalry sure, CBS podcasts are really good. Can’t forget Letterkenny. It seems that the Canadian government is really backing home grown creatives. Could we please do this here in Australia?

I feel like the ABC should have a look at what Canada is doing, and maybe do an Australian version of heated rivalry but about AFLW Men’s game (to steal Sammy J’s phrase) stars. Or do normal AFLW stars for gender swap version. But I don’t think they will do that.

Horrified to learn the Montreal Metros, the Boston Bears, and the Ottawa Centaurs aren’t real ice hockey clubs 😭

I don’t own a microwave. I don’t have space in my kitchen for a microwave. I recently purchased an old school bamboo steamer. A bamboo steamer does what a microwave does only better. Throw out yr microwaves.

Srsly? Why? And on LinkedIn ?!

Ngl, today was a great day to finally unsubscribe from Paramount+

Casual reminder, once charges are laid by police the sub judice period begins (!) and it continues until a. A guilty plea by the alleged offender, or b. The completion of a trial. Let’s not be in contempt of court, let’s ensure a fair trial.

The next two weeks are going to be thick with the most putrid coverage and discourse we’ve ever had to wade through as a nation. Get the facts and then tune out and log off if you must. You are under no obligation to drink the poison.

I'm a big Pay For News guy, for obvious reasons. But if you're running a liveblog on a serious event and playing the Google SEO game... Turn off ya paywall man. Just flick it off. People scrambling for info during a major active police operation. Carn.

I went to a Chabad high school. People I know are affected by events at Bondi today. Please follow instructions from police and refrain from live tweeting unverified information

Stay safe, look after each other. :(

Meanwhile the gelato may be cold but the tea is piping hot re the alleged(?) closure of Kreamu in Cabramatta and Marrickville. Need to get a new source for da ua ice cream 😭 www.reddit.com/r/foodies_sy...
