In my twenties, I was clubbing with some friends and we tried rubbing some pheromones on ourselves (from a dispenser in the toilets) in an attempt to attract women…

No women were attracted, but the next day we went to the gorilla enclosure at Taronga Zoo and the silver back went nuts!

I like people who stick their tongue out when doing complicated tasks - their adorable goofy faces…

How to avoid right wing media:

1.) College and co-op radio.
2.) Netflix
3.) PBS memberships (5 dollars)
4.) Public libraries
5.) Subscriptions to independent print
6.) Local, small bookstores
7.) Follow and support independent journalists

Is there a word for the feeling you get when you walk into an independent shop that’s obviously failing but the shop owners seem really nice?

The Canadian hockey jersey is totally badass, but eye-wateringly expensive… New object of desire…

It’s only called a concentration camp if it comes from the Auschwitz region of Poland; otherwise it’s a sparkling detention center.

I’ve such a developed Kafka Complex that I’m convinced I will be implicated in the Epstein Files even though I know that’s impossible…

People are drawn to the centers of meaning creation: LA, NY, London and so on…

But they fail to consider if creating all that meaning was a mistake…

(You shouldn’t let other people create your meaning for you)

Watched Marty Supreme and really enjoyed it. Chalamet was terrific.

*possible spoilers*

It didn’t quite ring true to me that someone would be willing to lie and swindle all their friends, yet still be universally liked.

Also they did Paltrow dirty by not finishing her character arc…

Don’t call it the Donroe Doctrine:

The Monroe Doctrine was a reciprocal understanding that US would not expand into European spheres of influence and visa-versa. Trumpism does not accept any such constraints…

How does Superman stay in shape? Resistance training is basically impossible for him.

Bertrand Russell said we will never know the true happiness of living before the shadow of nuclear war.

I say that’s bullshit, let’s have fun while we can. Take up a wholesome hobby!

I’m obsessed with Art Nouveau architecture :)

My daughter and I agreed that one of the few bad things about living in Australia is the feeling that there’s a spider on you somewhere but not knowing where it is πŸ•·οΈ .

Slow clap for the billionaires who plan to disinherit their children…

If they actually had a social conscience they’d give most of their money away now, not after their death…

They just don’t like their children very much…

Imo the correct play is to buy for time/flatter/delay and pray for big result in midterms or just that he loses interest and moves onto something else. Easier said than done though.

I like Rory Stewart but he’s got a bit of screw loose. There’s yet to be a noble cause he isn’t willing to die for…

They made a special bench so people can sit down and consider the King’s legacy:

This guy was so fat from Parisian food that he needed a mechanical chair made so he could fornicate with french prostitutes… here he is on a horse though.
