Someone’s been on the phone to Chris Minns.

A year of this film in the world. I’m grateful for it. It’s wonderful and I’m marking the anniversary with a rewatch.

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

I'm going to say this in good faith, because most of the people saying it are well meaning, but please refrain from putting the work 'our' in front of First Nations. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aren't possessions. Not being mad at anyone, just suggesting a shift in language.

Just finding out about Alex Williamson's comments and "joke" about the tragedy in the Northern Territory. Thankfully I'm finding out about the comments along with the news that his management team has dropped due to what he said. But jeez, what a dropkick.

Racists who’ve spent years saying that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people need to “take responsibility for their actions” are confused and conflicted at Aboriginal people wanting to follow the responsibility of Cultural lore to hold one of their to account.

Alice Springs in a place in mourning. Emotions are running high and it manifested in violence last night. I entirely understand why but I also hope peace and community solidarity provails. It’s such a heartbreaking time.

And people had better watch it. Apparently people aren't with the current season, which is odd because it's probably the best show currently being airing (or 'being released'). Maybe the Andor of 2026.

250 days in a row of over 12,000 steps. Not bad, me. Not bad.

When I wrote my submission for the Inquiry into racism, hate and violence directed at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people I remembered one situation which was messed up, yes, but I find it funny. I was using a dating app at some point and matched with a woman. 1/2

Another day of news about the United States of America and the state of its democratic process, another day that I am grateful to live in Australia and have the health of our democratic process.

Devastating news coming from the Northern Territory.

So Winston Peters is seeing National declining in the polls and New Zealand First climbing (similar to the Conservatives/Reform dynamic, and Liberal Party/One Nation here in Australia) and is trying to make life as hard as possible for Luzon so it continues? #NZPol

Jesus Christ! The two minor (extremist, conspiratorial, culture war) parties among the conservative bloc in Aotearoa New Zealand are getting a huge share of the donations.

We know that “populist” means promising easy solutions to complex problems, right? Because it feels like not enough people do.

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

#DaredevilBornAgain has not dropped the ball once this season! It's so very, very good! #Daredevil #Marvel #MCU

International Chamber of Commerce.

Nice one, Charles or Charles's speechwriter.

King Charles: I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing. I'm sorry to say that we British of course made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Recently had a revelation about why so many of the type of people who get angry about this sort of thing get so apoplectic about me being Aboriginal and looking white: they've been convinced over the years that Aboriginal people get government hand outs and so many things for free. 1/2

because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard… But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought. - Guards! Guards!

Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I’ll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I’m not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove,

New rule RE my auspol posts: if the post isn’t about gas and the gas tax (or lack there of), don’t just bring it up out of the blue. I know people are excited about the idea of a gas tax, but if I’m not talking about it, I’m not talking about it. 😂

Can't stop singing this to the theme of the Muppet Show

If Victorian Labor manage to win November’s election the complaining about preferential voting from conservatives will be endless and tedious (because that’s how Labor will win, if so).

Welcome to history

Oof...

Any time I’ve come across as having rizz has been entirely accidental and that success can’t be replicated.

I’m years behind but I just finished season 6 of #AgentsofSHIELD. Back when it was airing I got busy and lost track of ongoing shows at the time. 1/3

I didn’t realise this release had hit Australian shelves yet, so it made my day to see it available earlier. I love this show! Maybe my favourite Star Trek.

The Victorian Liberal Party have announced that they will be preferncing One Nation, one of their very few policies are this, ahead of Labor in the state election in November. Absolute fools.

People who’ve been complaining about Victorian roads (which have got pretty bad in the regions, I’ll give them that), will now complain about waiting too much for road works.

7News running puff pieces on Mark Butler after getting what they wanted on the NDIS. According to them he's a favourite to take over from Albanese once the PM is done in the role. Yeah nah. The natural choice is Jim Chalmers. The Treasurer-to-Prime Minster pipeline is common. Plus he's competent.

I recently realised that I had a season and a half of Agents of SHIELD to watch (life got very busy when they were coming out and I couldn’t keep up with a lot of shows). I’m now in the final stretch season 6. I love this show, but man they did my boy Davis dirty.

Please don't approach Tenacious D for comment.

Look, I hate the dude, but boy does he understand TV. The views next month are going to be much higher, and that's all he cares about.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

I’m not convinced when an Australian pretends to not know that when an Aboriginal person talks about Country, they’re not talking about the continent of Australia. They’re talking about the lands from which different Indigenous peoples or ‘tribes’ come from. 1/3

Last year it started with booing in Melbourne/Naarm, later in the year there was the attack on Camp Sovereignty.

Booing the Welcome to/Acknowledgment of Country is gross. Partaking in or adding your name to the Walk For Truth is grouse.

This was from Albo's first ANZAC Day as PM. He got a LOT of shit for it. It's become even more accurate since then.

Uncle Ray Minniecon, definition of grace and Indigenous masculinity. Served this country, has spent years helping members of the Stolen Generations and their families, has stood for the climate, and kept going regardless of the yobbos booing the tradition of Country Welcomes and Acknowledgments.
