Mind your containers. ATSB, 2020.
A raised view looking down a railway line. A shipping container is perpendicular across the tracks in the foreground. A passenger train is stopped facing the container. A freight train on another track is derailed in the distance and slightly touching the passenger train.

[sighing to my wife at the table of a nice restaurant] No no no, milkshake ducks are just for racism. if you're complaining about fascists or homophobes, that's a drone metal orthodox priest guitarist. You don't think it makes a difference, but I'm saying it does. I am not raising my voice.

Cartoon.
Scene is women's public toilets. A woman in a shirt saying 'TERF PATROL" is on a ladder peering over a locked door into a cubicle. She's saying "Just checking your genitalia to make sure you're not one of those creepy perverts who lurk in women's toilets"

I return from my holiday to discover that artificial intelligence has been installed on my television. The first question I asked it was how do I get rid of it. It seems it is not intended for you to get rid of it.

I always consoled myself that Australia’s saving grace was that here the rabid nativist right was run by utterly clueless idiots. We were therefore safe from the global populist trend. Hahahabahahahaba. Turns out the trend was to elect idiots. Coz obviously that will fix things. More fool me.
