Just met Pedro Pascal. He's shooting a movie a block away from our house. They shoot movies here often so we see a lot of famous people but I never get star struck like I did today. He's like 10 times as good looking in person as he is in the movies and he took a picture with us. He smells amazing.

Tax-minimising lawyer to ferocious Greens warrior: how an elevator ride changed David Shoebridge’s life
One Liberal calls him ‘easily the most effective Green’ while an ex-minister says they shaped policy together. How did the former Labor member end up a heavy-hitting crossbencher?

In the late 1990s, a corporate lawyer helping wealthy clients hide their assets was beginning to feel uncomfortable. There was a feeling that had been gnawing away at him for several weeks, becoming harder and harder to ignore. Eventually, while riding the elevator to work one morning, his subconscious took over.
“I don’t tend to make snap decisions, but I remember going up in the lift one morning and realising I just couldn’t do it any more,” he tells Guardian Australia. Continue reading...

Which is it man because you can’t say ‘be more normal’ back-to-back with ‘be less judgmental’ without a hint of irony because that’s just positioning yourself as cultural authority & then demanding the type of grace that by virtue of your immediately preceding statement you refuse to extend to us
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

Was creating the BOM new website a side quest?
I would love an answer to this question, I want a detailed breakdown of exactly what the fuck they spent all their metaverse money on

How do you even spend 77 billion? That’s the GDP of a small nation state. Even with phenomenal amounts of graft and corruption, how do you even manage it?
