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.

We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more. This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. 1/4

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.

>Escaped the lions den. >Go back for your hat? >Go back for your keys? >Go back for your… socks?

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

If astrology isn’t real explain why Zorhan Mamdani is libra, why is Curtis Sliwa an Aries and why is Cuomo a Sagittarius*🧐

Also contract boi spring is over, welcome to Criminal Law and Procedure spring-early summer.

Crime is bad, don’t do crime etc, but the louvre heist is giving me Wes Anderson-esque whimsy that I didn’t know I needed.

🎶It’s murder on the T4🎶

Preach.

I could never be the kind of person who wears Camilla but my god I respect the people who do and I’d love to be friends with them(?!)

Hear me out. Maybe this is because I LOVE miffy but imo miffy is kinda autism coded as a character because she’s got the neutral * x * expression, and we stan a queen who neither smiles or frowns. Meanwhile the labubu grimace, I don’t know what that is about 🤯

For the first time in years I got a short manicure and it’s freaking me out. I’ve never been so aware of my fingertips. It’s mad.

This Autistic Australian would prefer it if you’d *walk* like 5-7 metres away from me. Cheers, thanks

I got my nails done almost short for the first time in years and it’s bizarre because now all I can feel is my my fingertips

It’s Naomi Wolf ❌🫷🏽Naomi Klein✔️🫸🏽Ezra Klein❌🫸🏽 Ethan Klein❌ Right?

I have an idea for a piece of software which, NGL is kind of very niche, not at all profitable and would maybe help like two other court reporters, but it would be *so cool* if it existed. If you are developer who would want to make it hmu

“Performative males” listen to clario. “Real men” listen to mitski.

Marrickville Library having a weird one, might have gotten confused between Naomi Wolf and Naomi Klein :/

Today is a strange day to be an Autistic who is allergic to paracetamol.

Oh yep 🙃

I cancelled Disney+ on the weekend. A few months ago I tried to add my brother to my account which bumps the subscription price by $7 ish per month. My brother didn’t accept my invite and the invite expired. Despite this, it seems Disney continued to charge me extra. Feels dodgy idk?

Someone pointed out to me that “Downing Coronas on the T4” sounds like a song that would be played by a Triple J band and I can’t stop thinking about it

Notwithstanding T4 line shenanigans Cronulla beach is lovely.

The T4 to Cronulla is such a wild trip. What do you mean I see absolutely stunning natural beauty outside my window while some guy is downing a six pack of coronas on the train.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

is ezra klein … well?

What this really means is a worry Trump etc will use this as an excuse (even before knowing the identity of the killer) for more violence and ending civil liberties. No one was writing after the murder of Melissa Hortman of a fear that Democratic lawmakers were about to unleash violent mobs.

Hear me out. Mukhwas Fairy Bread. Nostalgia with a lil bit of spice (sugar coated fennel)

I wish for a day when American media has as much sympathy for the people Kirk wanted excised from society as they do for him.
