Poorline and Barnabus on the telly eating a Family Court Dad Meal Deal cooked in an office kitchenette is somehow the Platonic form of our media-political culture: vile idiots doing dumb things given publicity about nothing.

I’m watching a lot of Japan travel videos for our upcoming trip, and so many American tourists are amazed at the cleanliness of train stations and toilets, which look like Sydney standard to me (big buildings, not park toilets), which has me wondering just how disgusting American toilets must be

I believe the cost is $10

Mamdani schmamdami, the actual news is Mohamed Semra being elected mayor of Maribyrnong

I wonder if the Mamdani obsessives in Australia are tying themselves in knots over his Trump meeting or are cool with it because they are convinced he is a superhero who can persuade Trump to be a leftist

Foreign policy used to be largely bipartisan, but when it comes to climate the Coalition can always be relied upon to support MAGA-style talking points rather than Australia.

‘’Leaked talking points’ is a phrase that has come up a number of times lately that has weirdly amused me. They might be canned responses but they are not a secret. If you ask the politician about the topic, then you find out what the talking points are. That’s how talking points work.

Ninajirachi has a song with a line about catching the bus from Kincumber to Gosford which is now being listened to all over the world and this is very funny to me personally www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

America is a funny place. If you walked into RPA ED with a little scrapbook of your path results and handwritten entries of all your visits, they would probably frogmarch you up to Marie Bashir. Alright they wouldn’t, but absolutely no nurse I know would take a binder of printouts seriously.

Still baffled as to why anyone is still on that site. I mean I’m not your mum, you can do whatever you like. I know that the only reason people are still on Twitter is because everyone else is. But you could all move here (or literally any other app) and deprive Apartheid Clyde of his relevance
