I can't praise enough this superb analysis of #heatedrivalry. It explains very succinctly why the show resonates so widely with LGBTQI+ folks, with straight women and also many straight men, and how toxic heteronormatively poisons us all.

There it is. The basis of his political resentment and the core of what they all voted for.

"As to whether Herzog’s tour will be a deliverer of healing and unity as Albanese apparently expects, or drive a wedge deeper into this country’s rendered heart, I think we all know the answer." #auspol
Will Herzog's tour help "unity", as Anthony Albanese apparently expects? Or will it drive a wedge deeper into the nation? @marquelawyers.com.au writes.
Why people are protesting Israel's head of state visiting Australia next week
Anthony Albanese wants Isaac Herzog's visit to foster 'a greater sense of unity' following the Bondi attack. It seems destined to do the opposite.

If we had mainstream political journalists worth the name, they'd focus far less on the superficial race-horse politics of One Nation v LNP.
And far more on the links between Rinehart, MAGA, One Nation, Advance, IPA & other RW 'think tanks', and the global Atlas Network. #auspol

I never met Catherine O’Hara, but I wish I had. I would have told her what an exquisite human being she was, and how her art gave me warmth and life.
I am not exaggerating when I say Catherine O'Hara was one of the finest actors alive.
This is much shorter than she deserved, but I wrote a few words about the late, great, Catherine O'Hara.

just thinking about how Moira Rose was such a singular character in the history of television who legitimately only could have been played by Catherine O’Hara.

This is awesome. Melanoma is a modern-day Cruella de Ville.
I bet melania had to write out a fat check for that. I’m going to enjoy reading the reviews for this piece of crapola.
Melania review – Trump film is a gilded trash remake of The Zone of Interest
Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
