So, I have a lot of respect for @islandmag.bsky.social . And ordinarily, I welcome criticism of my work. But this piece contains several serious factual inaccuracies. Where does this Ferr-Fow joker get off? 😤 Read and decide for yourself: islandmag.com/current-issue

when I called you unhinged, i meant it in the rare sense, sorry bro

The best thing about the British Lads is that a journalist tracked them down and asked what the deal was and they declined to comment. Just in it for the love of the game, and you love to see it.

Maybe the funniest ad I've ever been served

A Reddit ad from the herald sun titled: How to turn a divorce settlement into an early retirement. The inset image is of a middle-aged white dude with his arms crossed and smiling slightly, overlaid over a picture of money and a torn up wedding photo.

"One Nation supporters are not unique or special. And treating their concerns as though they are more poignant, more precious, is part of a long history of racist scapegoating in this country" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is no question that One Nation supporters are staggering under the weight of economic pressures. But so are we all. It is not clear to me why many media outlets are so keen to privilege the grievances of one segment of Australians over the grievances of others.

Being a Muslim doesn’t protect you from petrol prices, and my skin colour does not make me immune to rent hikes or property prices. As we know the opposite is true – on top of the problems faced by all Aussies, first-generation Australians from non-European backgrounds have a harder time finding jobs and renting homes because of racism.

One Nation supporters are not unique or special. And treating their concerns as though they are more poignant, more precious, is part of a long history of racist scapegoating in this country.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but Wayne Marshall's historical/literary/speculative romp, Henry Goes Bush, is at large and roaming the countryside. Track down a copy however you can.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.
