We do not have to watch the wizard bigot show. We do not have to write about the wizard bigot show. We can simply point out that the people making it chose to endorse bigotry. And not reward it with coverage or eyeballs.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, as a child. Off panel, someone says to her, “Enjoy your youth!”
The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill
How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

The word of the day is: BULLSHITUAL #NPC
The word of the day is:
BULLSHITUAL
(n.) When someone lies, exaggerates, or talks absolute nonsense so often that it basically becomes part of their daily routine. They wake up, brush their teeth, avoid accountability, and start spreadinek bullshit like it's a morning wellnes practice. At this point, it's not a mistake. It's a bullshitual.

If Pauline Hanson wants a 'monocultural' society she's come to the wrong place. This land has held the world's oldest living cultures for 65,000 years. We've built one of the most successful multicultural nations on earth. Her "one cultural umbrella" is division, not unity.

The vast majority of Australians support access to abortion, including 84% of One Nation voters. It's clear from the experience in the US that banning or restricting access to abortion compromises women’s health. @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

Specifically, the water is more or less the color of a sour apple Jolly Rancher now. It looks like they're brewing Yodas in there. It is so uncannily green and visibly slimy that it feels inevitable that video will soon surface of Robert

If you're a normal person you probably think it's bad that billionaire Trump pals like Gina Rinehart have Pauline Hanson in their pocket. So of course the most abnormal publication in the country thinks it's good.

Watching BBC series SPOOKS season 4, made in 2005. Episode 3 is about the rise of the far right in Britain; episode 9 has the USA threatening to start a war in Iran. How sadly prescient 😕
