I have never met Steph, but her mum Viv was my high school media teacher, and tragically died in Samoa's 2009 tsunami. She left a lasting impression, and I understand Steph and her family have maintained her legacy at my former school. Wish her all the best.

It’s kinda interesting tho because it’s a legacy of negative numbers not being a thing in timecodes. If you have footage with sound that rolls before your first frame you need to start at the hour, or if you’re doing tv broadcast and need pre-roll, etc

"The Guardian is aware that at least nine of the musicians who played in the Sydney concerts are now helping the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) with a workplace inquiry about the events surrounding the performance."

The pianist from the audience at La La Land in Concert was a global feelgood story – but all was not what it seemed

Two orchestra members from the Sydney performance allege tensions behind the scenes were the cause of pianist failing to appear after intermission

I honestly don't think I've ever been to a film screening in my life like last night's viewing of Disclosure Day. Open laughter and derision throughout from some in a packed audience - met with enthusiastic applause at the end credits from others. Wild. Still thinking about it.

...to my mind and I think illustrates how the political core of these movies is now fading along with a lot of the original magic. Lucas had his baddies channel GWB; Disney's heroes take their cues from his crimes

Dan Golding @dangolding.com · 27/05/2026

Great piece! I think the nazi hunter analogy is interesting, because while that's what they are clearly going for, they also use the deck of cards from the USA invasion of Iraq, which very much muddles the political allegory. SW is no stranger to muddled allegories but this seems particularly bad...

Deeply disrespectful to the entire Australian cultural sector that the Office of the Arts can't be bothered actually reading all the submissions people are working very hard on for the National Cultural Policy, and instead will be asking genAI for a summary. www.arts.gov.au/have-your-sa...

Really hated seeing these “most wanted” cards in the Mandalorian movie, which are clearly inspired by those used by the USA in the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq. Rare to see Star Wars - even under Disney - completely miss the vibe of its political metaphor.

This really is tremendous leadership from Freeplay, and the kind of thing that has been glaringly missing from the games sector. This stuff is really important, so games people, do not let this moment go to waste.

I think this is actually still mainstream opinion, but tv technology has changed and widescreens are the norm, so now it's 4:3 content that's commonly converted to widescreen formats. See the controversy over The Simpsons ratio on Disney+ for a good illustration. People don't want bars on screens.

Aside from any of the obvious points, the Jobs Ready Graduates Scheme that ushered this into being and continues to be is a great illustration of the Ratchet Effect in politics, where the establishment right ruins something, and the establishment left does nothing to fix it when they gain power

Title: "The Ratchet Effect: How you are being duped by the fake two-party system." An image of a red cog being turned in one direction by republicans who "turn everything to the right", with a blue ratchet "Democrats block movement back to the left"

I feel unhinged and unmoored by the news at the best of times, but why every single politician in the world who isn't a member of his party (and even then, ugh) isn't out demanding his removal right away is just absolutely astonishing

Oh yeah that could be a good point. I guess my three second gut reaction based on never having seen these figures before might not be entirely accurate!

I understand this is a big jump in context, and numbers like this take a while to turn around, but is it not still sort of staggering that 85% of buyers in March 2026 are looking at petrol prices and going hey yeah hook me right up fellas

Screenshot of a Guardian Australia live blog detailing that 14.6% of new car sales in Australia in March 2026 were electric cars.
