This is brilliant (research based) analysis everyone, do read it By @kossamaras.bsky.social

You are all ingrates this is a superb joke Exodus is the book of the Bible with the ten plagues of Egypt, including the locusts, the analogy is unimprovable Back me up @danilic.bsky.social my child is objectively hilarious

My 13yo, *who is an atheist*, described watching the little kids do their Easter egg hunt after the Easter service as 'like a scene out of Exodus'. That is a solid joke both structurally and theologically. I'm *very* proud.

WHAT NO

I will die laughing if Albanese announces petrol rationing immediately before the Easter long weekend, when literally everyone will be driving long distance

@danilic.bsky.social you want properly gutsy news satire? Please enjoy this work of beauty. No spoilers but this week’s mad idea is *chefs kiss*

Did we… Did we not already know this I genuinely thought we knew this

If you are not embedded in it it is hard to properly communicate the gulf of creative competence between independent audiodrama (superb, constant innovation, best new storytelling out there in any medium) and legacy media big budget audiodrama (pants)

@danilic.bsky.social yo Dan I was thinking about what you said the other day about Australia having no equivalent to the daily show/the weekly being weak (wouldn’t know I never bother with it, it looks weak) and I wonder a bit of the model is fit for purpose

Look guys I have to say, I don't think enough of you are looking at pictures of Bad Bunny and listening to Bad Bunny's music enough when you feel sad. Look up the man's biography, he is the best guy and so ethical, and he's also really nice to look at/listen to. Use this knowledge.

You know what’s a fun game? Social proof! Turns out seeing people do a thing is an amazing way to get other people to do the same thing! Get your shingles shot

Today is a good day to be extremely cool to your Iranian colleagues. Related, I have never regretted doing lifeline accidental counsellor training. Didn’t today that’s for damn sure.

Guess what I speak Spanish It says some scientists have worked out how to turn plastic waste into acetic acid (the vinegar bit of vinegar) Which is dope O sea, maravilloso!

*final scene of Fight Club gif*

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Genuinely don’t understand why people are buying cars that have $$$$$$$ fuel when cars that have $ fuel are available Even if the ev doesn’t suit you perfectly they are *so cheap to run* it’s insane

Australia! It will cost you about $600 to get the shot as an adult. That’s for ‘shringix’, which is $$$ but will last you the rest of your life. As my pharmacist said when he handed me the powder, ‘are you brave of heart?’ Be brave of heart, get the shot!

Huh. This article was actually pretty well-researched (by me, it's me, I wrote it, I just forgot that I did a good job). Data centres! Did you know you don't have to hate them? It's true! www.themandarin.com.au/297302-could... Plot twist at end, let's fund unis properly cc @ketanjoshi.co

Hard agree *and* What if data centres in remediated mine areas? They're already environmentally derelict and have infrastructure in place, just saying

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Oh cool yes former Prince Andrew being arrested, that’s a calming note to go to bed to, glad I checked bluesky before brushing my teeth, good night everyone zzzzz etc

‘Peri-apocalypse’

I too hate this

“/pol/ was created after moot met with jeffrey epstein” is maybe the single most cursed true sentence I have ever had the displeasure of writing

“Epstein plausibly responsible for /pol” is too much for me

Oh Jesus /pol/ was created *the day* moot met Epstein. If that sounds unimportant to you, check the thread for why it matters. And I swear to God, is you dismissed pol, 4chan, and gamergate as unimportant online bun fights, your opinion about the rise of fascism is wrong. Because you’re ignorant.

I honestly thought eugenics (absolutely rife in tech bro culture and *you should know*) would be my least acceptable interest but the failure of historical memory around the Holocaust - directly related - is coming in fast. 6 million Jews, 5 million people who weren’t Jews. 11 million total.

Bullshit that’s the best song of the year Australia you are WRONG

Absolute nonsense Dancing 2 was CLEARLY the year’s best song, I will recognise no other winner apart from Keith, which is already listed, I call shenanigans

Friendly reminder, whatever happens in politics, the energy train is only going one direction.

AGREEEEEEEEED how did they make birds not be fun I love birds

Shit yes I remember the first time someone described MS as ‘long Epstein-Barr’ and I discarded the idea, because it couldn’t possibly be right. TURNS OUT Also coeliac disease is genetically predicated but virus induced, lots of things are, onwards to VICTORY The breakthroughs are on the way!!

My nichest take is that Jodorowsky is overrated and his Dune wouldn’t have been that good actually.

Day after the feast of epiphany and the Belconnen mall still has Christmas stuff up, #heresy

Hi, I’m a capsized boat.

Le ahem Gang! Did you know that having a missing tooth is such a major class marker that it can impact your whole career and social prospects? I ❤️ this (Speaking as the lady who loves laser skin clinics because they too are class disruptors) www.popularmechanics.com/science/heal...

To recap: a) fuck b) oh ok then, if you reckon, I guess? I mean not really but still c) FUCK Apply as necessary, like eczema ointment. Not having eczema remains not an option. #2025

One time I was stuck in a lift with Mal Meninga. I knew he was running a fruit & veg shop these days so I started chatting about fresh produce. He asked if I was in the industry. I said ‘no, I just like fruit.’ Then we stood there not talking for the better part of an hour.

Walked past Salman Rushdie at an art exhibition, mid 90s, when a bunch of people were still trying to kill him.

@folletto.bsky.social because of the fuckery around age verification in AU, I can't currently message you. However this is profoundly relevant to our shared interests: bsky.app/profile/cour...

*chef’s kiss*

Oh ok so as an massive audiodrama nerd What if An audiodrama about one of those Big Cast audiodramas that are invariably awful through the lens of stealing from a tough little indie? (Which they absolutely do do)

#yesssssss I dodged the cervical cancer bullet by a whisker - I skipped some screenings, and they caught the malformed cells at the last moment before they crossed the threshold into cancer. Keep on top of it millennials, the end is in sight for the youngs but not for us (yet).

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV shows you watched are trying to reduce you. Who’s coming to save you? (I am not cool) (it’s Young Sheldon) (yes this is true I’m about to finish series seven) (fun fact I am the exact age of Sheldon and his twin Missy, pictured)

FWIW this, from my local cafe, is why I’m never ever buying laminate flooring

If you don't have an official source, or if your source is commercial media, please don't post about Bondi Beach. Actually, better not to post your take at all.

This comment under Tim Dunlop's excellent article on the social media ban is spot on. The social media ban is highly reactionary (& a result of a wedge) and is 'neat, plausible & wrong' Tim's article here #auspol > tdunlop.substack.com/p/the-road-t...

While I do love @dieworkwear.bsky.social, it never fails to amaze me - a former immigrant and current immigrant-by-return - that Americans assume they can just, like, move to other countries. My dude Visas are real. Really, really real.
