My wife was shocked and amazed to learn Prince wrote Manic Monday. And then I told her about when the Academy made up an Oscar to give him

The ARIA Charts will enter a new era in September when the long haulers are booted off to On Replay. That means the most weeks on the chart records will never be broken again! With 10 (max) chart appearances left on offer, here is how it stands...

I would have to say my fave Beach Boys albums was The Best of the Beach Boys.

Holler back boy Zelensky told his generals “don’t speak” about a secret drone attack on Putin’s tragic kingdom. But there’s no doubt Russia felt it hella good.

Ridiculous take. She is excellent at writing books (plotting, characters, story development), which explains her popularity, despite how kooky her philosophy is.

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · May 14

So I have now read the Big Three Ayn Rand Books, atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and anthem. And I have this to say: she’s bad at writing books, so bad, in fact, that I find her popularity genuinely strange

Simply extraordinary how many loons in the Australian comment section call it the Labour Party. And you just know they all think they're total brainiacs

Here's my review of election coverage:

Seven: Surprisingly competent and funny
Nine: Hopeless
ABC: Didn't have a functioning map
Sky News: Unintentionally hilarious

My wife is at school camp. She won't be enjoying the bad food, pouring rain, freezing cold, missing new Survivor and stuck in a tent without her beloved Paddy. I should add my wife is a teacher.

Vale Kilmer! he was a real one

Adolescence comprises one excellence episode, one good episode, one poor episode and one dreadful episode, all shot using an unneccesary gimmick. In a world of gourmet cheeseburgers it is a sausage mcmuffin.

He is especially bad at it, considering anyone who this ad appeals to would already be voting fringe right without having to spend any money to reach them.

does make me feel better about accidentally texting my sister instead of my wife (my sister and wife have the same name)

First they came for the vegans... and I pointed them because they are annoying

Has any team made a quintuple substitution yet? or even a sextuple in extra time? I feel as tho these are achievements managers of midtable teams with nothing to play for should target

I've lived in Subway my whole life and I've only just learnt the Socceroos are playing a World Cup qualifier tonight. Maybe one day they'll get a marketing firm to promote these matches instead of ASIO.

it's measles, what are you gonna do?

Patrick Avenell @patrickavenell.bsky.social · Mar 2

I would prefer to see Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, Karla Sofia Gascon and Felicity Jones win the acting awards but it ain't gonna happen.

My single fave performance from the year was Elle Fanning in A Complete Unknown and she wasn't even nominated!
