Growing up I assumed dystopia would be a Mad Max style wasteland where I, thoroughly unathetlic, would not last long.

I never figured dystopia would be writing a heartfelt email about a really difficult emotional issue only to have Microsoft insist it's AI could make it a better.

Counter point: the entire religion exists because Henry VIII was a horny monster.

I think there's also a generational element. A previous workplace I was in all the boomers and Gen Xers seemed to genuinely a. not want to WFH due to unhappy marriages/avoiding their kids and b. feel like things had always been this way, so they had to stay that way.

I’ve always found that such a weird talking point, I know it comes from a place of “normal people should get into politics” but honestly when has that thesis ever been proven right?

How Mosman became ground zero in the NIMBY debate A proposed six-storey boutique apartment building has the residents of Sydney harbourside suburb Mosman up in arms.

They're right of course. This would effect Mosman's character. The only solution: bulldoze Mosman and replace it with wall to wall high rise, it's the perfect spot for it www.afr.com/property/res...

Some of us have weirdly shaped heads. I can’t be looking like a Star Trek character at the grocery store

Here’s episode sixteen and I go into some detail about Australians going absolutely nuts for clubbing seals to death, we couldn’t get enough of it apparently

That’s just the crying box.
It’s where we go
To
Cry.

You bring that salad to the group lunch
Yeah boss, real phallic just like you asked.
What?

But the nightlife nearly drove him round the bend!

I’m currently reading a book where in order to stop the America from stealing the secret of their large hadron collider the Soviet Union hides it in the jungles of Vietnam… in 1968. Also there’s dinosaurs … but it’s the Soviet strategy that seems far fetched

Really? I always got the impression the protagonist was a pilot?

Paris Hiltons death scene in House of Wax. People were hooting and hollering

the shredding of international liberal order's legitimacy is because everyone knows the answer to @edwardluce.bsky.social thought experiment www.ft.com/content/6176...

Pretty sure Ian Dunt is British rhyming slang. “He’s a right Ian Dunt”

Can attest this is the standard response from a surprising number of Americans when hearing my Australian accent

I kind of what a sequel about Giraffe Geoffrey.

Just finished @patricklenton.bsky.social ‘s In Spite of You. Came for the chaotic queers and scenes that made me cackle loudly enough to wake my dog. Stayed for the surprising sweet story about self acceptance

Our deadliest animals are really just little guys who won't bother you if you leave them alone.

I’ll always remember finding a dog walking the streets, taking him to the vet. The vet called the owner after checking the microchip and the owner asked me to deliver it to his house… after I’d paid for an uber pet to rescue his dog lol

Nope just a high maintenance dog

Elon Musk's Tesla Diner Is the Cybertruck of Restaurants Elon Musk's new Tesla Diner in Hollywood: long lines, chaotic service, disappointing food and a puzzling design with drive-in movie screens.

I reviewed the Tesla Diner, congrats to me on my new career as a food critic

Percival has been harassing me for dinner for an hour “Percy it’s time for dinner”. He immediately loses his shit

In hindsight very funny APH made the decision to move all their broadcasts to YouTube. As a former juvenile political weirdo, I kind of agree no child should be watching parliament though.

Did… they read it?

I have empathy for people who are tired after work to cook, but the answer is just to meal prep? I do 90 per cent of my cooking on the weekend. It’s fine

“Nearly a third of Gazans had not eaten for several days, the U.N.’s World Food Program said this week.”

Joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC, Reuters

Ironically it probably wouldn’t of most of his supporters knew that they were talking about teenagers rather than pre-adolescents. Some err not great opinions in that group about marrying teenagers!

A woman getting a piggy-back ride from Death. They’re on a beach. It’s a sunny day. She has beach attire on. Death does not.
