Hey, don't worry. I hear he'll be bringing back bloodletting and leeches to fix our humors, so we'll be right as rain. #MakeMedievalMedicineGreatAgain

Just me here wondering if I now need to go and stockpile the only painkiller my digestive system will allow me to take before brainworm tries to ban it.

Playing this one while making dinner. No reason.

A bit rich to call people who prefer to do the work — the research, writing, interviewing and creating (as opposed to sitting back and pressing "enter" on a prompt) the "lazy" ones.

If you prefer science over brainworms, today's a great day to get your shots. Just did so at CVS, zero questions asked.

I caught a preview of this last night and it is as bonkers and hilarious as you'd expect (with bonus Julia Davis - which the world always needs more of).

Aunt Gladys - I may have had that exact micro-fringe sometime in the early 00s.

I mean, this is basically me in a few years.

While everyone else at the cinema was doing the jumpscares and muttering "WTF" at the villain in Weapons, I couldn't help but think, "I'd totally wear that outfit." #stylegoals #auntgladys

I had the honour of having his review of my film in 'Variety' appear on the same page as the one for 'Gigli' - and mine was WORSE!

This curmudgeon was a big part of getting teen dork me interested in films. I was quietly honoured to read his one review of a thing we wrote in his Australia At the Movies book. Now I can forever put "incoherent" - David Stratton on my bio. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

A very mistaken list of the last 12 presidents of the United States and their years in office produced by the Ph.D level scholar known as ChatGPT-5. Includes John F. Katwady, president 1991-1968; George W. bush, president 220Z-1999), and Bill Christen, president 1999-2001

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Tried this with Australia. Computer says I'm Vaswianian now. Better update all my IDs.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

Slide of Edi Patterson’s Playgirl at Dynasty Typewriter.

If you get the chance to catch Edi Patterson doing her solo improv show, snap up those tickets. Her brain is so fantastically unhinged. Laughed my whole face off.

Out of frustration of how the conversation is so single focused in Tasmania I wrote this piece published in today’s media.

The stadium has dominated the past two elections don’t let it dominate the next four years. #politas

Wow. And in three months, lucky me gets to see them play this song live for the fourth time since 1998. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC42...

This is why New Yorkers are some of my favourite Americans.

Family members outraged as U.S. citizen detained by federal agents in downtown LA on way to work Andrea Velez, a Cal Poly Pomona grad, was taken into custody while being dropped off at work by family members

Then please ensure LAPD verifies the IDs of these masked groups and that they're at least not grabbing citizens and lawful residents. I saw this from a nearby building yesterday. Police held off onlookers, enabling these randos to take a citizen just going to work. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

Q. Have you seen any good movies lately? A. Well, I've only seen one in the last couple of years. It's called Norbit by Eddie Murphy. Q. How did you like it? A. Fantastic movie. Very funny. Q. What's your favorite movie? A. Norbit.

RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview

Also, five stars to the new coffee shop Jalsah, in case DTLA folks want to support a cool new migrant-run business slinging strong coffees and amazing-looking homemade Yemeni cakes. They also make an Aussie-approved flat white. www.yelp.com/biz/jalsah-y...

Just wandered around DTLA between Broadway - 7th Metro and down to 11th. It's not a war zone. Broadway's already cleaned up and people are going about their business. Got an excellent coffee from a new Yemeni coffee shop. Picked up some fruit. This town deals with a lot of shit but it's resilient.

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester

They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar

SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

Mini dachshund sleeps on my lap like a tiny angel (ok… sure, after peeing on my floor a tiny bit, but anyway.)

I can definitely recommend acquiring yourself an adorable dog neighbour who happily snoozes on your lap for a few hours.

Australian conservative opposition leader loses seat in ‘Trump factor’ backlash It comes days after Canada’s centrist Liberal Party stormed to victory in what will be seen as part of an international voter backlash against the Trump administration

hello!! I know everyone is busy/the news remains bad, but if I may distract for a moment? There's a man named Ander Louis from the Yarra Valley whose sincere passion project is translating War & Peace into Bogan Australian. He's done Books 1 & 2. This is not a spoof. www.amazon.com/dp/108730656...

Some weirdly wasted audience members though. Like who the hell shows up for this type of music rat-arsed and itching to pick a fight??
