Growing old disgracefully. ex-journo. current pessimist.
I kept hearing her referred to as the Hunter St Thompson of this generation and I’m waiting for the ghost of Hunter to turn up, drink a bottle of Wild Turkey and start shooting.
If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.
Hey, congratulations to all of Olivia Nuzzi’s horny media critic defenders. Heckuva job!

Listening to millennials talk about the "old ball and chain" attitudes to wives in the 1990s and want to tell them that, stupid sitcom dynamics aside, that was considered passe in the 1990s as well.

I know it's a pun on Vincent Van Gogh, but for a second I thought The Advertiser were just big fans of Veronica Mars and Ken Marino

The whole 6-7 meme delights me. I love that something that is literally meaningless has taken over the world, I love that kids have something that makes them feel part of an "in the know" group. I love how much it delights them. We need more of this shit.

Occasionally, I buy a few bottles of 2L Pepsi Max (or even a carton) and they all taste abominable. I'm curious whether it's a use-by date thing or they've been mishandled during shipping and I dunno, left in the sun for a week or something.

Can the senate also pass a motion that Pauline Hanson is a tedious dumbfuck who behaves like a racist toddler throwing the same tantrum because it got attention last time?

Seeing a push notification from Ticketek on my phone, clicking on it because it might be information about a concert I am going to and seeing just enough to realise it's an ad for Oprah's tour, and the app immediately crashing, pretty much sums up my feelings about Oprah.

The minute I saw the blue building on the news about a bakery fire near me yesterday, my heart sank, because I recognised that it was where they make these delicious bad boys. A fresh packet of these is worthy of the gods themselves.
Also, I'm worried for all the souvlaki makers.

There’s an apartment complex I sometimes walk past that is in a building that was a home for unwed mothers until the early 1970s and my non-ghost believing self is always “oof, I bet that has some grim ghosts”.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

I hate flavoured coffee pods. I don't even like flavoured coffee syrups, and I take it as a sign of a subpar cafe when they are displayed prominently. Explain to me why I buy flavoured coffee pods because the flavour sounds nice. Why do I think they're not going to have a disgusting aftertaste?

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Look, is this just beyond absurd and completely embarrassing? Yes. But as someone who often tries to get media coverage for vendor reports, I have to admit that I am impressed for DoorDash's PR team.
They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.
