Increasingly Australian; bloody oath. Gen X-Wing. Shared my ADHD with my anchor baby.
I jokingly said it was Starship Troopers inspired. The small print confirms it is. Turns out the Republicans are the only Americans who didn’t misinterpret who the bad guys were in that film. Kudos.
Seriously, they just told Grok to make the imperial officer uniforms from Star Wars but “more Hitlery.”

Okay, so when the regime falls, and it will, they all do, I think the Democrats are going to have to put that entire brainwashed third of the country into some sort of re-education camp and sort them the fuck out. They can’t just be left to fester, they need to be fixed. Might seem a bit extreme…

I agree 100% I’ve seen this film dozens of time and I can honestly say it help form my feminist outlook. Also, a lifelong appreciation for the wonderful talents of Dolly, Jane, Lily, Dabney and of course Elizabeth Wilson as the incredible Roz. ‘I’ll turn you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!’

Describing a movie boringly:
One woman's attempts to make her colleagues stick to health and safety regulations fail, with predictable results. She fixes the problem, then leaves the workplace, taking her pet cat with her.

Strewth mate, democrats are madder than a cut snake. How the fuck is McConnell supposed to make a video when the poor old bastard has croaked? Wind your neck in!
O'KEEFE: You have been writing letters & trying to get updates on the status of McConnell. Have you heard anything?
BESHEAR: I have heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell... all he needs to do is do a video for 2 minutes to the people he's supposed to serve, but he absolutely refuses to

Henry Dunham’s ‘ENEMIES,’ starring Austin Butler, Jeremy Allen White, Anna Sawai and Hidetoshi Nishijima, is expected to release in 2027.
The film follows a relentless detective and an infamous contract killer locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

I think the only way the US Republicans can both survive the midterms and a transition of power from Donald to any one of the personality vacuums that orbit him is for that dumb fuck to be successful assassinated. Huge bump in the polls, massive support behind the new guy and the grift can go on.

Wonderful. It’s been an absolute joy over the years to see that Luke Skywalker AND Mark Hamill truly are the shooting stars of decency that I always hoped they were right from the age of 7 all those years ago.

I’m sure she took great comfort in the, conservatively, 5 minutes of screen time in total the women in The Odyssey received. And there was even that one moment the ‘witch’ spoke of her sister. Take that Bechdel!
While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

This is anti-woke bollocks from Musk, but why don’t the right love the Nolan’s film?
- the main family is white
- barely any female roles
- meatiest female character is a lonely old witch
- the black characters all die, except one who’s identical sister dies
- the useless white nepo becomes king

Should be honoured for making a skinless woman, smoking, whilst wearing a white suit the sexiest thing you ever did see.

What I find most disheartening about the ‘woke’ bullshit surrounding The Odyssey is that it just another mainstream film about a white man’s struggle, his white wife and his white son. I mean, I don’t know if Nolan is specifically a misogynist, but he seems utterly uninterested in women’s stories.

Here’s the Christopher Nolan challenge; if he’s such a great film maker let’s see him make a film that’s 90 minutes long and is about a woman.

My 7-year old always asks me to play ‘her music’ in the car. This morning she asked for Blue Monday by New Order, and then she sang along with me to Black Sheep by Metric.

The polar opposite reactions here to the deaths of Sam Neill and Lindsey Graham are such a reminder that we all have a choice whether to live our lives in a way that brings joy or misery to those around us. I think if you’re remembered fondly as Sam Neill is today, you’ve pretty much won at life.

In my macabre head-canon, "The Nightmare Man" is a very bleak sequel to "Firefox".

The vile human being and ‘typical’ republican senator Lindsey Graham died this day, today,at the age of who-gives-a-fuck. He’s most remembered for whatever horrendous and information emerges about him in the next few days, months but not years.

Graham dead, O’Connell probably dead… it’s good but I’m sure there’s someone else’s death that could trump them both.
