Sam Altman: "My dog has shit in your yard. In fact, it turns out it has been shitting there for several months. The fence I built for it does not have a bottom rung, which it appears is key to keeping the dog in our garden. Thanks for your help in cleaning up as we investigate how this happened!"

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

Sit down.
Two frames. 1. Barnaby Joyce as on TV turning to shout “SIDDOWN!” 2. Two dogs on grass beside a fence, one black and white, the other curly blond. Black and white one says: “I was only asking if he regretted hitching his wagon to an even bigger attention seeker…”

At a Woolworths recently - no one on the 10 items or less aisle, so | yelled "SHOP!" - as one does, coming from the country.
Gal arrived, said she was reporting me to security!
They did not come.

Human-caused climate change is increasing the risk of hotter temperatures, including these dangerous heat waves. Watch the entire distribution shift to the right. I'm afraid these headlines about record heat are only going to become more common. 🌡️ Visualization by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5613/

Vanstone is the first person I’ve heard to perfectly sum up Pauline Hanson’s approach to politics - “you be your worst and I’ll be with you”.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

Deb O’Neill skewers Hume & LNPs new tax dodge bill “for 103K high wealth individuals”, after they “screamed” against tax cuts for 13.3M Aussies “The mischaracterisation of this bill as a support for women is just another joke from a party that has barely a woman in the house”🔥

Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol

Funny that. John Kehoe happy to mention that the taxpayer is picking up the tab for the solar battery subsidy while not making the same point when the topic was negative gearing or CGT - where the taxpayer also picks up the subsidy. 🙄 #insiders

I really hope the new news director at ABC takes a good look at #Insiders. David Speers’ interview style is awful. It’s a politics show where he stops guests from making political points. 🙄

Having Alan Kohler on #insiders is making Phil Coorey, Samantha Maiden and David Speers quite uncomfortable. Alan is a knowledgeable person pushing back against the panel’s usual shallow focus on politics. Go Alan. You love to see it.

Every fucking question so far by @fergusonnews.bsky.social is about politics not policy. Maybe she should do a story on the number of adult children who still live with their parents. Or the growing number of homeless people. But she’ll probably choose to interview a housing investor instead.

Just in case you're wondering why the gas industry hates the idea of a 25% gas export tax and wants to keep the PRRT
Chart showing gas exports and PRRT:

2014-15: Exports $16.9bn PRRT $1.9bn
2024-25: Exports $64.6bn PRRT $1.4bn

Next time you hear someone ask how will the govt pay for <insert new spending on services> just remember right now the richest 10% get $27.5bn in tax breaks on just super, and negative gearing and the capital gains discount on housing www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
A graph showing that the richest 10% get $27.5bn in tax breaks from CGT discount on housing, negative gearing, and super tax concessions - more than the rest combined
