I remember the days when Osman was a pretty solid advocate for Shoebridge's faction, back when he was a Greens operative. I imagine those days are well behind him now.

Osman Faruqi and his podcast has popped up on my algorithm this week, suggesting various negative things about the leadership changes at the Australian Greens. Not mentioned in the excerpts that popped up - the fact his mother was one of the defeated candidates.

Good on Freo for calling out the putrid masculinity adored by that shit cartoonist and asking he maybe should do better work. He’s a fuckwit for complaining about it.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

On all of that, back when Twitter was a thing and people from it used to meet up, it was always REALLY telling how they reacted to me. Or how they would ignore my other half. Every one of those who did ignore her turned out to be garbage people - no matter how nice they make themselves look.

REALLY interesting to see how some Liberal supporters post differently on Blue Sky and Twitter. There’s one poster in particular who pretends on this to be neutral, but on X, it’s pretty obvious Liberal support. The hypocrisy, it sizzles. She would deny it, of course.

Willingham and his mates from the tiny Victorian political media claque might actually give him a proper go. Not likely though.

I was never a fan because I never knew who she was or what she stood for. But yes, the anger directed towards her was ridiculous to me - but yes, mostly pure misogyny. Australians cannot handle strong female leaders of either major party.

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
I heard more about Jacinta Allan and learned more about her today than I did throughout her whole term as Premier. I don't know if Vic Labor or the media are to blame for the way she was framed as leader, but she sounds like a gutsy fighter to me. Came across as a bland machine person before.

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
What these pieces from Victorian universities continue to show is that there's a lack of perspective - they are written from such a narrow lens in this state. What this one lacks is the notion that female leaders never get a fair run from media outlets or the public. Just look at the history.

I don’t agree with Tomalaris here. The cooking segment gets stale unless you change the presenters - Brahimi was good, but got repetitive in the end. Also, the commentators do talk about the culture and buildings. I think this post is a bit small minded and petty.

Watching Race Around the World from last night and OF COURSE Leigh Sales attacked the filmmaker who made a funny reference to that evil succubus Gina Rinehart. Sales has become one of the most pathetic, joyless sellouts on our TVs very quickly.

I find John Safran's addiction to being edgy, provocative and controversial irritating at times, but he is the best judge on this series. He understands what this generation of film makers are trying to do. Beresford is so out of touch he may as well be a commissioning editor at the ABC.

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
And then they have one of the "Inspired Unemployed" as a judge and he had no idea what he was doing. Nor did Margaret Pomeranz in her first week who seemed to turn into Bad David, making asinine judgments with little justification, but she was better the second time around.

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Boomers were pretty fruity and sexually explicit with their material in the 70s, but apparently that never happened and people like Beresford have turned into the same censorious tribe that they railed against. God that was annoying.

Preston Towers @prestontowers.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
I have been catching up with Race Around the World. The second episode annoyed me because Bruce Beresford is such a boomer hypocrite. Went full puritan in response to Froomes' funny film about Jamaican men. It was him who directed Don's Party, wasn't it?

From 2013: Atlas Network President (and Opus Dei's) Chafuen praises Australia's tight neoliberal machine
In Forbes in 2013, the longest-serving President and CEO of the Atlas Network praised the Australian branch's distinctively tight collaboration. His recently-confessed Opus Dei links are interesting.
