i have watched and reviewed akira (1988) boxd.it/eFnPVz

oh ok

In class today I’m making the students look at biblically accurate guitars

I love to hear every month from Lionel Shriver about how she has been Silenced

My daughter is asking about the order of noun modifiers for her homework and I’m having a full on meltdown trying to explain why physical quality comes before shape and colour

the gracie films guy shooshed me when i didnt even fucking say anything

Guzman and Gomez are real, I’ve seen them.

bad news, your uncle has been radicalised by an AI generated picture of a small business owner crying

Obelix had it going on. Fall into the potion as a baby so that’s taken care of. Deliver large rocks all day for work and make sure to always follow Desire.

guys who have no books in their homes love to get AI to write stories that make you clinically insane

what the fuck is going on

(grabbing a loose handful of muesli from someone's bowl) cool trail mix... why's it wet

Overfilling my brain on posts. ‘Well this will all cook down eventually.’

If I moved to a small coastal town and the locals started referring to a huge secret that would tear the place apart I would not get involved in that. It would be none of my business.

No.

Incredible stuff from the newspaper that somehow gives you lead poisoning

had a good talk today at school about where we think the alphabet ‘gets weird’ I said the letter P but none of the students agreed with me

[deep breath] The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover, Bob, Carol, Ted, Alice, You, Me, Everyone We Know, You, Me, Dupree, Me, Earl, The Dying Girl, And Grogu

In australia they give you a special goo to drink every morning that makes you sick and angry, and for me that goo is the internet

Everyone has at least one Grug in their life (unskilled guy who lucks into everything and you hate)

woke 2 is here

I work in a special education school and the idea that people are somehow "cheating" the NDIS is insane given how much more support the majority of our students' families seem to need

ah ok, all good then

Evergreen

explain to a group of teens in the forest that 8:30 at night is when movies came on. You had to wait until then if you wanted the movies.

really hoping Bolsonaro pulls through this time

Just sold my final Bluesky invite code for $17,000.

there’s should be an app where you can exile yourself but you still get to post

(eating a pill i found on the floor of the club bathroom) hope it's a placebo. i don't need any effects right now

Got up to the x files episode where mulder stumbles into the ‘bigfoot is a woman’ conspiracy

I need to somehow infiltrate the group of 80 year old Greek guys that sit together in the shopping centre cafe beside the supermarket.

Andy Weir saying he would hate it if anyone found meaning from his novels is so funny. The epic bacon middle manger writer of our times.

100 books you must read over easter

there should be a video game set in the tim winton extended universe where you get to drive a car along a endless coastal road and shoot a gun at the ocean

I once talked to a bunch of undergrads and said something flippant about Bigfoot and after the talk a guy came up to me and in a worried voice said I should be careful joking about Bigfoot like that

Don Delillo voice “Japan is turning footsteps into electricity”

There used to be websites and I used to look at them.

odysseus, shortly after leaving Circe’s island

Last night our daughter called me into her room, two hours after her bedtime, to say that she’s been wondering what it would be like to visit Perth.

I used to work at a bookstore with an author and whenever anyone came in asking for a recommendation he’d just sell them his book which he said was pretty good but would never mention he wrote. You gotta respect the grift even if, in the moment, you sometimes wanted them to be hit by a bus.

when you get up to the short story the collection is named after

I’m the only dad at this children’s birthday party that’s brave enough to make his daughter listen to Brian Eno’s music for airports

I believe my daughter can win her schools the Easter hat parade if we somehow get a small rabbit on there on a motorcycle doing the Akira slide

On the weekend my brother was telling everyone the gremlins ride at Warner Bros Movie World was shut down on September 11, 2001 ‘out of respect’.

outta my way lady i gotta write Jurassic Park

contemporary Australian novels love to ponder what secrets Father has

here’s what the Kyle and Jackie O split could mean for your grocery bill
