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.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

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...

Ok it’s all good most likely! Ignore the headline of the news dot com article. They are having a break, prioritising family and will reopen soon at a new location!

Word on the street is that Alex n Rolls, arguably the best banh mi in Marrickville, is closing up shop on Illawarra road. Don’t know if they are moving to a new location. Devastated

In news I bumped into Maeve O’Meara today after I bought a banh mi for lunch. I called her a fashion icon, she complimented my pants (!), and my banh mi (!!!). Genuinely star struck.

Tfw this weekend is the last 48 hrs where I can sing along to working for the knife by mitski and really mean it you know

Lukewarm take; the song Dancing2 is sweet and all but also it’s so bland!? It’s giving watered down, like homeopathic watered down, INXS? I listened to the whole song because it was playing at chemist warehouse and I was like when is it going to drop and it never did?

Idk who needs to hear this but have you accepted banh hoi into your life? Banh hoi are netted vermicelli noodles that you cook by soaking in boiling water for no more than 1 minute and 15 seconds. They are great. This was my dinner last night. Stock up on banh hoi you won’t regret it

50 years ago today was the dismissal of Gough Whitlam and 50 years ago yesterday was the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. What on earth was happening in November 1975?

What’s up with these dudes who wear a HEADACHE INDUCING amount of perfume? It’s not hot boys. 2-3 sprays should suffice, not 6-7 sprays.

Side note. Perhaps (?) there is a place for local governments supporting the funding of independent local media- in a similar way to the ABC. Ie, funding without the expectation of favourable treatment, various firewalls to ensure independence. Totally spitballing here…

Mini rant. I got a notification that the QPRC (local council) is hiring a “cadet journalist”. Uhh… Don’t get me wrong, this would be a great gig for a PR student. But we really can’t have local governments hiring cadet journos. And it’s a really sad state of affairs to see this happening

Hi Internet this was my Halloween costume. I call it bad tax return.

Maeve O’Meara does not get enough credit for being a y2k style icon. PinkPantheress would kill for her 2000’s Food Safari wardrobe imo.

Don’t talk to me about “naarmcore” unless you know this man.

Another day, another Kirk’s creaming soda dupe
