We have another film festival coming up at the end of the month because I'm a glutton for punishment. There is some excellent stuff in here, though, even if I do say so myself.
Opening night doc about the legendary John Clarke is nearly sold out though, so get in quick! #ANZFF2026

Very, very much appreciating the news that a reformed Faraquet will be playing London in July (and so close to my birthday). But the Dischord band I REALLY want to reform and see live again is Q & Not U. Their brand of dance punk was truly never bettered.

You want BUFFY x LOST BOYS x MAD MAX x Alexis Wright with a shit-kicking soundtrack & a performance from Rob Collins that literally eats up the screen? FIREBITE
Now that everyone is talking about SINNERS again, I'm going to remind you that if you want a more sustained fix of Indigenous vampire hunters, Warwick Thornton and Brendan Fletcher have got you covered.

Not every day that you hear the mighty You Am I on British radio, even if it does require BBC 6 Music to be undertaking some sort of 1990s nostalgiafest.

Finally catching up with S5 of Stranger Things. When Max emerges from a rock crevice, I immediately thought of Picnic at Hanging Rock, and now ep.4 has picked up the thread and, lo and behold, there be panpipes! 😂

After successfully campaigning for a Royal Commission into antisemitism, The Age seamlessly moves to making that synonymous with criticism of Israel. Watching it happen so transparently is next level.

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you
Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Sure, you *could* now adopt that evidence-free report by far-right activist Jillian Segal that you know is garbage or you wouldn't have ignored it after spending a fortune on her whole dodgy operation. Or should you put money into *de-radicalising* the far right instead of, you know, employing them?

Remarkable kindness and empathy from the Jewish community of Bondi and abroad in light of this horrific anti-semitic shooting. Instead of pouring fuel on the fire and joining hatemongers to condemn all Muslims, they are openly and loudly rejecting it.
We stand in solidarity against hate and terror.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
