My best secondhand buys in 2025
My favourite new-to-me finds from last year.

What's up besties I'm finally writing again. New year old me etc. Here's some cool/super uncool stuff I got from bargain bins across the land (really just Melbourne and Sydney) last year. They may not inspire envy in your heart, but I hope a few of them might be of interest.

New idea for a tv show. Every episode is 50 minutes long, there's a 8 of them and they take 1.5 years to make. Haven't thought of a story yet but we'll get there

The big-brained Australian film distributor: “What if we wait until all the press and word of mouth for the movie fades out, and THEN release it? They’ll never see it coming! I deserve to be paid six-to-seven figures”

Tomorrow I get my grubby little gamer hands on new Fire Emblem and I promise to be so normal about it. I've even got multiple social things on my calendar this week. I can do it. I can have it all.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

I work for every advertising company in Australia. I'm in my late thirties or early forties and that terrifies me to my core. I wear RM Williams to my office in Ultimo. My new pitch is taking the song "Im On A Boat" by the Lonely Island from 20 years ago and making it about whatever the client sells

By the time consultants have taken their cut at federal level, taken their cut at state level, and taken their cut at council level, there’s about $1.27c left to divide amongst all the nation’s artists.

As I keep pointing out, does no one understand Ricardian comparative advantage anymore.
FACT: China produces over 1 million engineering graduates per year
FACT: To date, China has not produced a single internationally marketable game show format
Where does it look like our advantage lies?

A cheery message from the new minister responsible for research funding for the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences (and the subjects that the majority of UK taught undergraduate and Masters students study).
Science and maths degrees offer most value to the nation, says minister
Chris McDonald told a room full of vice-chancellors that science, engineering and mathematics ‘offer the greatest personal, social and economic value’
