Once you see their ridiculous performances of far right indignation thru the lens of Gina Reinhardt money it all becomes clear

So we’re getting better? 🤦‍♀️😫

✍️PETITION: Launch a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS

Australians are increasingly unsure about dangerous AUKUS deal.
…<1/2 of Australians think #AUKUS is in Australia’s best interest or makes us safer. More think US is an unreliable security ally…majority support a parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Me too! Both my mum’s cousins were my aunts (what else can you call them?)

Catherine Connolly has won the Irish presidency in a landslide.

Because you are allergic to truth telling & principled foreign policy, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, I hope hearing a respected leader speak with honesty & integrity causes you both to break out in hives. #GazaGenocide

My favourite

YouTube video by Super Ravel Pee-wee's Big Adventure (Biker Bar Fun Scene)

one of the greatest scenes not only of that movie but in film history

The Simpsons scene where Mr Burns announces that everyone who has found true love can leave early. Except he says "every country who's arrested and imprisoned a President within the past year may leave early". France, South Korea and Brazil celebrate

The one guy left alone who's not allowed to leave early, with a USA flag on him

Escape from Sobibor (1987) nazi death camp movie staring Alan Arkin, Rutger Hauer and Joanna Pacula. Is on Tubi.

Excellent film and a sharp reminder of Nazi horrifying brutality.

Just watched Wolf Man (2024) directed by Leigh Whannel. Loved it. Honestly the reviews miss the point. Not enough horror tropes? Maybe but he turns the genre in new interesting directions. The monster is a father facing a truth about control and violence. Good acting all round

Ang Lee?

Yes I was aware 🫠

The rich are 'squeezing out' ordinary people and this millionaire aims to stop it Gary Stevenson achieved his childhood dream of becoming rich by his mid-20s. The 39-year-old now spends most of his time campaigning against the wealthy.

Great piece. The kicker is the last para:

"His biggest piece of advice to Australians?"

"If you are going to give your natural resources to private companies, you should make sure that you get a phenomenally good deal & you should be taking a big share of the profits."

Has Jillian Segal said anything about yesterday’s marches?

Probably not considering the director is Paul Thomas Anderson and the cast includes Benicio del toro

Pro-Israel group lobbied La Trobe and Bendigo Writers Festival over Palestinian academic's institution A leaked letter reveals pressure from a pro-Israel group in the lead up to the Festival

The truth emerges.
The campaign to silence writers - which imploded the Bendigo Writers Fest - was waged by an anonymous group of pro-Israel academics, 5A.
(A group that has no compunction naming and defaming individual writers, btw).
Important scoop:

Hahaha true and remember Catherine Cumming lasted less than an hour in Derryn Hinch party. Why are they surprised?

Get loops. Life changing earplugs.

Just call it the capitulate to lobby groups party. The Australian labor party is.
