Work’s done for the day, the week. In the mood for a movie. Planning to see Supergirl tomorrow, might as well lead into it the night before with this.

It’s such a small, bitter, paranoid, and constantly angry world that Conservatives want us to live in. They want us to distrust our fellow Australians, and hold them at arms lengths, on the receiving end of scowls. That’s not the Australia I know and love, they can get stuffed.

I live on the traditional lands of the Waywurru people in North East Victoria. When the colonisers reached this part of the country, they’d become very efficient in their efforts to kill or displace Indigenous people, so there aren’t many left on Country. 1/2

Just in case anyone thinks we should go back to the 1970s. This is basically the workforce Hanson is arguing for thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

The conservatives who are demanding that we “unite as one culture” don’t even like the Australian culture.

Community Strong, but Grammar Weak

'Today we are launching a new political party, joining the ranks Labor Party, Liberal Party, National Party, Green Party, Country Liberal Party, Liberal National Party, One Nation, United Australia Party, and many other parties nobody has heard of, to put an end to Two-Party politics in Australia.'

Just to reiterate: even if you were to ignore the hundreds of Indigenous Cultures that were here pre-colonisation, the colonisers were the British, which is a multicultural group consisting of the English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish.

Jesus fucking Christ, the usual suspect men are being creepy and weird about Milly Alcock again.

This is so good! Also, I wouldn’t complain if they just cast Patrick Gibson as live action Bond too (but I doubt they would). He’s perfect for the part! The story and dramatic beats are better than half the films (that I’ve seen).

There's always been an element of society that has wanted this, but the concerted effort to bring conservative extremism to mainstream Australia is obvious. Rinehart backing Hanson/One Nation, Stefanovic's podcast, the bot farming.

Australian conservatives are going for broke with their U.S. Republican impressions.

Doesn’t this mean your business model doesn’t work?

Very underrated series.

This isn’t abstract policy. It’s your pay. Your protections. Your job security. They've made it clear it's all on the line, and their voting record on workplace issues shows they always vote in favour of big business, not workers. Every. Single. Time

I think I might submit a design for public housing named "Data Centre"

Man’s losing a war that he started, everything he tries makes the problem worse and prolongs the conflict. He’s also struggle de-escalate the war he started with Iran. What? I was talking about the algae.

Men: I think women are lesser, don’t deserve jobs/careers, should be at home cooking food and cleaning the house, and should be ready for me to have sex with them in ways where I get pleasure out of it, not them. Also men: women don’t want to sleep with me anymore! I’m so lonely….

My money’s on Billie Piper being the next British Prime Minister.

The British: “I hate this current Prime Minister, I wish they were gone!” *The Prime Minister quits* Also The British: “we’ve had so many Prime Ministers!”

Ignoring the politics and policies, successes and failures of the specific politician, I tend to think about how a Prime Minister must be feeling when they’re leaving the position (through electoral defeat or resignation). It’s a weird job, also weird to quit to the whole country.

The attacks on Ed Miliband, the one truly successful person running a department under Starmer, shows that the lack of seriousness in British politics goes way beyond No.10 to the press, the trade unions, the business sector.

Had to wait until a pay day and paying for the essentials (new games are expensive, man), but now it’s time!

Just leave us alone...

It’s a conserted effort by conservative forces across the country to disappear First Nations people from public life.

You know that event where Gina Rinehart embarrassed herself, and the crowd, by impersonating a bulldozer? Yeah, you’ve seen the clip? Cool. At the same event she said she wants Australia to give away Islands in our territory to Israel to build weapons and Elon Musk (to just have one?).

300 days of over 12,000 steps a day.

Catching up on Hanson’s National Press Club address. The only real policy is an excerpt from Gina Rinehart’s diary which say “renewable energy is bad, subsidising it is bad. Fossil fuels are good, subsidising them is good.” She hates the government’s Future Made In Australia policy.

Aside from the specific circumstances of Makerfield and Andy Burnham’s personal profile, a pattern is emerging in recent by-elections… Caerphilly, Gorton and Denton, Makerfield… the tactical vote to keep Reform ‘out’ is being mobilised with significant impact.

To all the Aussies, in the USA, wearing the green and gold, and chanting “Aussies are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender!”, you’ve done us proud.

Calling for plebiscites on things just because you don't agree with government policy is silly and legitimises the behaviour of right wing populists who will call for them on immigration etc. thepoint.com.au/new/260617-g...

The land now called Australia has been multicultural for 65,000 years. "bUt ThE enGliSh bUilT aUsTrAliA" The English colonised this place, bringing their culture, plus Welsh, Scottish and Irish people and their cultures, adding more cultures to the multiculturalism.

Under Dutton at their high water mark the Libs were around 40% and Labor around 20% 6 months out from the landslide ALP victory. Polls are volatile. They're not a prediction. #auspol

After coming to the show late (because I had to watch half of Rebels first), Ahsoka really had an impact on me. Some of my favourite Star Wars! On top of that, Kevin Kiner’s music is amazing. Here’s a take on the end credits theme.

It would be kinda funny if Burnham wins the byelection but not the leadership once back in parliament.

#ABC730 used to rip into Victorian Labor big time leading up to their last state election. Amost but not quite as bad as the Murdoch media. Tonight's interview with the Vic. Premier is along those same lines and showed the heinous image that's been getting around of her for an extended period.

Nobody in this country should be surprised by this. Absolutely nobody.

There literally was no spill to survive. Your own reporting says that. Just say "spill didn't happen".

Supergirl & Superman comics on sale at the grocery store in magazine formats. WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

Really starting to feel the same inevitability of bad news for Mob about the Victorian election as I did during The Voice referendum. I don’t think Labor will be in government after November and that means Treaty will be gone.

Our whole city is cheering for the Knicks tonight. So it’s only right that we bring the Knicks to the whole city. Tonight, Game 5 will be streaming on 130 LinkNYC kiosks. Let’s go Knicks.

Just wrapped up a re-watch of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Moses Ingram is so good in it! The pathetic hate campaign against her made the discussion about the colour of her skin and the fact that a woman was being given such a prominent role. 1/2

Why is everyone saying Doctor Who is cancelled? One episode is. We’re not getting a Christmas special. That same announcement confirmed what people have been saying for years: Who is too successful for the BBC for them to let it go, but they need a studio to film it. Literally not cancelled.

This scene gets me every time. Every. Single. Time. For decades now. I love these two. And I love that they’re both Force sensitive. On screen Star Wars’s biggest mistake - under Lucas and those who followed - was not giving us more Leia feeling/using the Force. 1/2

RE Doctor Who: Not much has changed, other than they’ve decided to not make one episode, and Russell T Davies is leaving (again). They were already looking for another studio to partner with. It probably leaves it as a more appealing option to not have a producer attached at the moment.

In which the Morgan Stanley conference panelists discover the purpose of a house.

Less than 24hours after Labour announces a transport policy, National says they suddenly have a possible transport policy to that they left out of the budget 🤦🏾 Can we just vote these guys out now so we can have some adults in charge please 🙏🏽
