I lived in a rural part of the state for 15 years. On acreage. We had a long, steep driveway often in poor condition. Friends would leave their Prados and Patrols at the entrance and walk up. My Mitsubishi Sigma, however, made it up that driveway every day without a drama.

And the biggest wank of all, I saw a huge yank tank today with a “National Heavy Vehicle Registration” licence plate. Ffs.

We need to help billionaires like we try to help anyone else who hoards.

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Look I don't care what the real reason for these guys backing up was. Right now what millions are seeing is a bunch of armed soldiers retreating from a guy doing pelvic thrusts at them in a frog costume.

I’m learning an awful lot about the amendments to the US constitution this year.

Should I be concerned that Alan Kohler made a reference to the Book of Revelations when talking about the American stock market?

No McHappy Meal for your kid until they scan their face.

Er... yes, well: happy 18th birthday to Ken Russell’s penultimate film, the heart-warming, Christmassy... oh fuck me, is it really called that?

Tried to explain TISM to a Gen Y English expat and I'm sure he thinks I was winding him up.

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:
