The Kimberley: famously a place where it never gets too hot, never rains too much and is not at all prone to natural disasters

Meanwhile, when the Gibbon of the 28th century writes the less racist Decline and Fall, it will start with reality television.

The dad made a fake school to send the girl to, complete with bullies. Sometime in the next ten years we’re gonna hear so much about how abused these YouTube kids were.

The kid I’m caring for, insisted we watch one of those former YouTubers turn Netflix “prank” shows. Only if not for the very obvious bad acting which makes it clear none of this stuff is real, this would be emotional and psychological abuse.

One of the few moments of pure joy I experienced in a cinema was watching House of Wax in which Paris was speared through the head with a rusty pipe. We laughed, we cried, we danced in the aisles. Little did we know, we would never be that happy again

Noooooooooooo!

Every time someone sees “Jack” Reacher and doesn’t immediately run away.

I just learned that Hamas and Hezbollah are two different groups. Here's my plan for lasting peace in the Middle East....(1/73)

I mean sure. But it’s pretty clearly a beat up. He was at a presser. Journos were asking him to rule things in or out he said he wouldn’t play that game so Massola turned it into a story www.health.gov.au/ministers/th...

After a while they just looked out through the silted glass to where the track curved away in the waste of weeds. If they saw different worlds what they knew was the same.

Well….shit.

Never trust the French.

Headline from SMH: Two Labor MPs – both of them doctors – say the NDIS must be redesigned

I'm not going to say that the NDIS doesn't have problems, but I will say we absolutely should never listen to medical doctors when it comes to public policy. There might be an MD out there who has a decent policy mind, but they've yet to show themselves.

There's nothing wrong with a steak cooked well done. Some chefs are just lazy.

i’ve seen every social network i love die, you cannot scare me

this was really fun/informative! check it out!

Thanks for coming on!

My dad keeps a toolkit in my apartment that the insists on referring to as “my toolkit” even though he’s the only one of us that uses it

My understanding is it polls extremely poorly with everyone except electoral experts.

Surely they wear body cameras, no?

Man I would seriously consider getting a Crikey subscription for Cam Wilson's reporting alone, but then they publish absolute freaks like this guy and the idea just makes me sick.

Australia's post-Bondi crackdown accused of targeting pro-Palestinian voices Fear for future of peaceful protest in Australia while some say Jewish community being prioritised over others.

Is he makes it six months before going independent I’ll be shocked

Edgar Allen Poe’s Alone, used to be able to do The Raven in whole. I was a strange child

Speedrunning my psychotic break by listening to New Found Glory’s King of Wishful thinking cover on repeat

My characters be sighing, he sighed.

Here’s me on the media’s constant disinformation regarding the NDIS and it’s recipients, as well as what would happen if the NDIS worked the way places like the AFR keep demanding

Ha! Maybe! I haven’t seen robust evidence either way. Plenty of people in major parties complain about it though, given for example NSW Greens letting preferences exhaust or not handing out HTVs in some seats

To be fair that system does exist! It’s called Optional Preferential and it’s in place for state and local elections in NSW but if you don’t number ever box federally you risk your vote being considered informal
