I can see why Australia's choice for Eurovision is Delta Goodrem as it would be career suicide for an emerging artist to participate this year given the boycott.

youre making a mockery of the fifa peace prize

One of the worst things about AI, for me, is that it takes away from people the sheer joy of writing. Schools don’t often make this point, but writing should be fun. Putting words together, finding ways to express yourself, the pure pleasure of a well-crafted sentence. 1/5

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

This is how you live a life

I just keep thinking of all those in Australia who've had friends and family massacred by Israel, including volunteers like Zomi Frankcom - to see Herzog, the political symbol of Israel's racist violence, genocidal hatred and apartheid - paraded and feted by Australia's political class.

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

One of the highlights of the Australian Open has been Jelena Dokic's commentary. She is such a smart and insightful analyst.

Excellent idea. I am not enjoying Heatwave Santos. 44° here today (111°F).

Adelaide had a record low of 34.1 last night. I popped outside at 4am when our daughter got up for a feed and it felt like an oven. Just so gross.

This won the Netherlands top cartoon award

Maybe I'm an alarmist, but I think the Trump Administration having masked goons murder someone doing no harm and then slandering him on TV is a bit more serious—and legally precarious—than being simply "straight cringe." (Rachel Bade has written for The Washington Post, ABC News, and Politico.)

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1776

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland. If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

Friendly reminder that Labor have once again betrayed the LGBTQ community. They have never been our friend.

oh this is so so good

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1772

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

What is the end game here? No publicly funded cultural events that aren’t approved by Israel? No arts boards that aren’t pro-Israel? The sections of our political class and media who are active in this attempted gutting of our cultural landscape need to ask wtf they are doing here.

Sky News keep posting their Ls lol

Louise Adler has resigned, huge loss to South Australian arts and culture. This is certainly a lesson in not caving to racist lobby groups. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

⁉️The ARC has delayed outcomes of ALL grants 1–4 months & increased scheduled outcome windows from 2 weeks to 3 months! This reverses 4 years of progress in providing greater certainty & ability to plan for researchers, their families & unis. Their excuse? Security checks under new ARC legislation👇

Has the voice over guy for the Golden Globes dropped acid? What the hell is happening?

The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

Top article from Richard Watts for Arts Hub on the racist decision from the Adelaide Festival for the Adelaide Writers' Week: www.artshub.com.au/news/news/ad...

Randa Abdel-Fattah uninvited from Adelaide Writers’ Week, because of Bondi, even though they "do not suggest in any way that Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah’s or her writings have any connection with the tragedy at Bondi." She just can't come anymore. Because Bondi. www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

Watch this list evaporate, name after name.

Absolutely shameful. The Adelaide Festival should be boycotted for caving to Zionist lobby groups.

On leave til Monday but again asking why politicians, government agencies and journalists are continuing to post on a site that has weaponised nudifying people, including children. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I Carry A Torch For You*

Crazy About You*

All you dorks in the press pack that are allowed near the man, ask the Prime Minister if reporting truthfully on the Gaza genocide will be illegal under Jillian Segal's recommendations.

So excited for Carols by Candlelight. I'm excited for Denis, Casey, Dami and Sylvia. But most of all, I am excited for everyone's favourite choir member with the seagull haircut.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

SO COOL

Yup. There are far too many assumptions when it comes to students' digital knowledge.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA (coughing and choking break) HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

Just when I think @davemilbo.bsky.social surely can’t top his always incredibly thoughtful & beautifully written pieces comes this absolute must-read gem. It’s as moving as it is incendiary. 👇 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

The dumbest thing we are being asked to believe today is that pro-Palestinian protests caused the Bondi shooting. It's self-evidently moronic. No one sincerely believes it. Some are just pretending to believe it in order to promote the interests of a genocidal apartheid state.

A top read that encapsulates a lot of the mixed feelings many have felt over the last few days

Heated Rivalry is the show of the year. This latest episode was incredible. That ending! 🥹😭

when I watched this week's Heated Rivalry, I levitated three feet in the air and my eyes glowed gold and my veins were coursing with liquid fire.
