This paragraph from Maria Corina Machado's Wiki page.

God damn. Holy fucking shit.

It's like a tactical strike to make the weak little beggar have the mother of all tantrums when he gets up for his 3am diaper change.

Wikipedia text: "Domestically, Machado has called for the banning of reelection to political offices in Venezuela, is in favour of same-sex marriage in Venezuela, supports the legalisation of medical cannabis, and has called on a national debate regarding the legality of abortion."

Just perfect that everyone else got the "funeral attire" brief and he was like "I'll wear black but you won't be allowed to forget I'm a gay man who used to wear Speedos for a living".

Genuinely I was trying to think of the plausible option who'd be funniest, and sadly the new Pope wasn't elected until after the nomination deadline. 😭

Nobel Peace Prize is going to be announced in <40 minutes.

Can't wait for the tantrum when they find an excuse to give it to Rosie O'Donnell.

Was in Belgrave today and can confirm: NIMBYs everywhere, which is even more concerning when everyone has massive backyards.

One of these days Amazing Race Canada should visit one of them. Eleven seasons now and the jury's still out.

Is Hobart better to fly into or out of? Planning a trip to Tas and trying to decide whether to fly into Hobart and take the ferry back or take the ferry down and fly back.

Ours is just "sign the card, if you want", if they bother to sort one out.

Also, the one who thinks the way to appeal to The Youths Of Today is by wearing Sylvester McCoy's Doctor Who pullover. Timely!

Look, you can say live-action film remakes are a waste of everyone's time and nobody wants them when the original product is perfectly fine, and you'd be largely correct, but also we got Elizabeth Fucking Taylor playing Wilma Flintstone's mother in the 90s so they're not entirely bad.

Could be worse. Australia's moving to a celebrity cast for its revival and the leaked list makes Rob Rausch look like David Olusoga OBE.

The biggest name is "basically the only person from S1 of Australian Idol who never did Masked Singer, because her career died immediately". #celebritytraitors

It really does feel on par with the very first Celebrity Big Brother, where somehow Jack Dee was the least famous person there at the time. #celebritytraitors

Novosibirsk is 4325 kilometres from Kyiv.

For context, that's about the distance between the Eiffel Tower and the North Pole.

Russian Telegram channels report a large fire at the Zavod Pripoev plant in Novosibirsk, Russia.

The plant produces electronics and microcircuits and is a part of Russia's military-industrial production.
