A big, meaty win, says Breitbart.

Well then.

Is Pedro Pascal in all of the movies or does it just seem like that ...?

In this new political age, there are headlines that simultaneously make you go SERIOUSLY? and OF COURSE!

Mozart ...?

News Corp commentator Lucy Zelić nails her political colours firmly to the mast | Weekly Beast Interviewing Ted O’Brien on 2GB, the former sports broadcaster says she has been a ‘Liberal faithful’ for many years. Plus: how the Canberra Times portrayed Zachary Rolfe

Spectacular question to the Liberal deputy leader here, via @meadea.bsky.social.

"I’ve got a personal question to ask you first. Please tell me, as a Liberal faithful, which I have been for many years and so many of our loyal listeners are, can you give me some good news?"

Maybe I do need to be on Truth Social.

It remains the most healthy model for "conservative" media: let journalists follow the truth, and let the editiorial page rip into the White House if it betrays their values - as it does repeatedly. Anything else is just fan service.

Such is their determination, I suppose: they're prepared to wear 10 months of an embittered Colbert on their air every night. Stewart's contract is up this year - he's certainly more likely to leave now. And that would be disastrous for that show and husk of a network.

That theory kinda only works if they kill The Daily Show too - Jon Stewart has said worse. I'm not saying it's not a factor, but it's a giant show in a giant theatre running outside of prime-time where networks make the lion's share of revenue. I can believe the costs story, too.

There's a production gulf between The Late Show and Hot Ones/Chicken Shop Date/etc, for sure. But the future is going to be much closer to the latter.

Shows have to be prepared to downsize, too. Myers lost his band last year and he copped that to keep going. Colbert may have been asked to reduce costs - but that's hard when you have to fill a Broadway theatre every night.

CBS Canceling ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ After Next Season

This is juicy, given where CBS is at with mergers/approvals/Trump/etc. But it's also a network saying it's a "financial decision" to kill the highest rated program left in late night. TV is done.

WHERE DO I PUT THE CODE, MEL? I DON’T KNOW WHERE THE CODE GOES.

The @sydmorningherald.bsky.social continues to communicate with me in code and I’m not smart enough to know what they’re saying.

I think that's just Ratatouille. Which is decidedly not Italian.

‘It’s hump day!’ Whale at Circular Quay stops ferries A whale frolicking in the harbour has delayed ferries and delighted Sydneysiders as it takes a tour of one of Australia’s busiest waterways.

Oh sure, spent buckets to ride the nauseating seas off the coast and barely saw a flipper, now there's a Moby Dick dodging ferries at Circular Quay.

The guy wrote one of the greatest relationship comedys of all time. Six million bucks is chump change.

As Donald Trump tells it, he was continually convinced Vladirmir Putin was a good guy while his wife was continually convinced that he wasn't.

BREAKING: The humans have been overthrown at the Herald.

Parker Posey and and Ray Meagher TOGETHER AT LAST.

Now we're talking.

DID THE GAYS KILL TANYA? / Can Karl and Susan survive infidelity?

I mean ... Declining audiences brought it to an end. Somebody actually has to watch it. Multiple companies tried to make it add up and failed.

What if they just turned the hose off for, like, one month. No films, no TV, streaming, creators, socials, none of it. It's a ZERO-DOLLAR PROPOSAL. And we could all catch up a little. Or just sit quietly. It would be bliss.

Strong statement from MEAA

Guys, if you see any of my data out there PLEASE DON'T LOOK. Just FORGET WHAT YOU SEE.

Oh, and I gave them a fake DOB, I really am 32. Really.

100.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Nobody's talking about the marriage. All this focus on the murders and NOTHING on his marriage.

THAT'S what we've been missing in media of late - casual sexual creeping. Bringing it back.

Well hang on, that's just enterprising. Good on him. Any luck ...?
