you know Australian media is an industry comprised of incredibly midwit dullards because almost every Aussie journalist loves the work of Aaron Sorkin, the world’s lamest pervert

there's this lovely quite autistic guy who attends all the screenings at the revival house, and yesterday, after the lotr marathon, he was standing by me at the urinal saying this phrase over and over again: "And The Premier presents...Zootopia 2" quite beautiful

I always bet on the Bandgropers in the Reclink Cup because the Perth music scene is 80% private school kids who had weird health regimes (calisthenics etc) and organised sports (hockey, rugby) and an inbred inability to accept losing drilled into them by emotionally distant distant dads from birth.

This is a great piece of writing about knowing and loving the character of a place. I already thought Fremantle and Milwaukee were long-lost siblings, but this specifically brings to mind the parade the city held for the Brewers after they lost the 82 World Series. Helpful to read after a brutal GF.

Freo has a real "baton down the hatches" energy right now. If we lose, I think the mob will disassemble the Round House brick by brick and burn the markets to the ground. If we win, I think there will be a 10,000 person orgy on the Cappuccino Strip + burn down the markets anyway.

the price gouging being done by Australian airlines right now should be criminal. 2k to get to Melbourne if you're a lifelong Freo fan wanting to see their team in their first Grand Final. It's such disgusting stuff.

lesbian bar article got me thinking about the wreckers i have known, and there's this legendary quasi-BIPOC non-binary kid on crutches who haunts the Perth theatre scene that participants in that scene talk about the way goons talk about Batman. Like, they will cancel you out of existence.

I agree with Pauline Hanson that Andrew Hastie is a traitor, but for a different reason: i think any soldier is a traitor to the human race, and that Hastie is a traitor for murdering people in Afghanistan.

Belle & Sebastian is a really funny band/show to get so drunk and belligerent at that you are kicked out by the third song, but I have now literally seen the same bloke do this two years apart. An impressive effort tbh.

This glorious read is full of all-time bangers! "a pyramid scheme for facebook cooked nazi gooners where all the money trickles up to her and her malevolent ageing twink vizier, James Ashby)" The Press Gallery catching rightfully deserved strays throughout is so gratifying. #auspol

Is it problematic to ask this woman questions? yeahnah.substack.com/p/is-it-able...

Is it ableist to criticise Pauline Hanson?
is being a white nationalist the greatest learning disability of them all?
