us living as we do upside down

john there's just more important shit going on at the moment

a newspaper headline that says "John Howard urges Sussan Ley to ‘get together’ with PM on four-year federal parliamentary terms"

the liberal party is being eaten alive by the hard right and branch stacking by religious zealots, what does howard have to say to steady the party?

what do you want them to do, popular things that people want? that's not what labor is about

fun new thing in windows 11: there is no calendar app! if you open it, it will simply open outlook instead. they are really trying to nuke their user experience, hey?

honestly having read a bit about him, the loss of his privileges and being shunted into the commons seems more damaging to him than prison would be. they should put him in a dungeon under a tescoes as well, though

you've heard of The Expendables, now the australian parliament is bringing you: The Unelectables

it's just kinda sad playing it! walked up to some anarchs in a parking lot and there's no way to do anything but murder all of them

Seen an ambulance pulling up to the hospital..i hope the doctors are ok

the gas burner in my house has the exact cadence as the intro to Amy AKA Spent Gladiator 1 by the mountain goats. every time a burner takes a second to catch i get that song in my head

i'm about to experience a very similar situation and the mild absurdity of it is frustrating

excited to be among the dozens of victorians watching the rugby tonight

free business name for a male hairdresser in brunswick: Socialism or Barberism

normally i don't care about remakes being shitty but god damn this looks bad

paul denton standing on the docks, looking like absolute dogshit

standing around like a normal guy

just realised i wrote 1994. fml

saw a guy at the cafe this morning who’s entire vibe reminded me of winston at the end of 1994. grim stuff

a guy i know is a tiktok comedy guy and god is it bleak

b positive is a slightly too silly name for a blood type

cannot express how excited i am for this. last time i saw them there was an older couple who clearly did not know anything about the band and they seemed shocked and slightly terrified by the fervour everyone sang along to "no children"

imagine going to someone's house and everyone in their family eats nutella. like all of them love it and eat it daily. this is the hell that nutella ads would like you to experience

ME: so yeah thats how i became an obstinatrician
OTHER DOCTOR: don't you mean an obstetrician
ME, SUDDENLY FURIOUS: NOOOOOOOOOO

yeah thats the one i think i'm after, i've been using just a tear off pad and it's been working so i think i've earned an upgrade to something nice

oh shit i've never heard of these. i'm getting one

also worth maybe talking to your local library about, i've had luck in the past with tracking down or purchasing books that i haven't been able to locate myself

i will! it's odd, you'd think there'd be a real market for a comparative theological look at the end times in various religions but i guess it's too hot a topic. might be worth finding a book on each of the major religions and giving those a crack?

i swear i've read a generalist book about eschatology that was called something like "the end of the world as we know it" but it's not on my goodreads and i can't seem to track it down. from my brief research it seems like the only explicitly non-religious one is the oxford handbook of eschatology

yeah maybe the profit margin is lower on vaccines? just seems like they aren't contesting the antivax stuff at all at the moment

maybe they are and it's just not being done in my country? but yeah, weird that it seems like they've just ceded that ground entirely

kind of wild that big pharma isn't kicking up more of a stink about the anti-vaccine stuff, that's big money for them. you'd think they'd be more actively contesting the shit the US government is saying
