On Tasmanian souvenirs you will see this motif of people, devils, teddies etc with 2 heads. It's never explicit, but the joke is: we are inbred! It's a cartoon congenital disorder. I have no idea how a tourist is meant to guess this, so I guess it's an in-joke, for Tasmanians to enjoy, in every shop

A stubby holder (you put beer bottles in these things) on a shelf in Devonport airport, of a cartoon tourist with a giant 2-headed Tasmanian devil behind him. It has a normal Tasmanian devil body but it tries to work in the Looney Tunes devil face even though it has zero bearing on actual Tasmanian devils. Theres some text around the side you can't see but it probably says "I ate tourists" because they always say that

My best/worst one was years ago when I was high in the Gallery of NSW- so of course in the gift shop I bought one of those kids magic crystal garden growing kits. I put it on the counter and the cashier said "are you Felix Colgrave"

a beautiful woman once approached me in the lobby of a hotel at SPX and asked "are you Gretchen Felker-Martin?" and when I said I was, she blushed and said "I love your Hannibal shitposts"

After getting this spider beanie baby named "Godfrey" from a Chemist Warehouse discount bin, my 6 year old has been finding toy spiders and naming them "God Two", "God One", "God Zero", and mused this morning, "I'm thinking of having 100 Gods".

excellent choice sir. That will be one thousand dollars.

A Swarovski crystal sculpture of the Minion "Bob" from the Despicable Me movie franchise. Specifically as he appears in the 2015 spinoff "Minions", in the scene where he was temporarily crowned the King of England in 1968 after pulling Excalibur from the stone. He is missing his coronation robe. The sculpture is in a shop window in Wodonga and costs 1000 Australian dollars.

The fact that the Australian Broadcasting Company gave all the merchandising rights for Bluey to the British Broadcasting Company, is maddening. It's the AUKUS deal of animation. With all that money, just think, Australia would be able to afford TWO cartoons

Cartoon Brew @cartoonbrew.bsky.social · Jul 23

‘Bluey’ is growing up. From record-breaking streams to theme parks and baked beans, the BBC is turning the hit kids’ show into a multibillion-dollar lifestyle brand for all ages.

Not coming for anyone's plastic. I too have a bunch of trash that I love sitting on shelves

Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · Jul 21

People exemplify characters like Hello Kitty + Labubu as peak capitalism because they exist solely for merch.

100% true, but the designs have to appeal on their own-
Spiderman or Star Wars can move mountains of equally trash products, but uglier, where the only value is a reference. Kinda worse IMO

His comments were definitely critical of the tech, but also the implementation- how using a machine to spit out a messed-up/uncanny human likeness and saying "that's fine, this one is a monster person" just adds an extra layer to the indifference.

I think that's a take worth hearing also!

Gen AI sucks and would Miyazaki agree, yeah sure, BUT that quote about "an insult to life itself" is specifically about body horror being ableist. Someone procedurally made 3D bodies flail around and said "these could be zombies" and he said "that's really mean." A completely different valid take

The English language used up all of its one-syllable words on livestock. Each animal can have like 5 names so you can specify age, sex and fertility in a single noise. That way you can discuss animal husbandry really quickly!

For other topics, sorry, you're gonna have to use the LONG words

That depends, it's very large. Translated to United Statesian, Tasmania where I grew up is apparently equivalent to Pacific Northwest climate, and Melbourne where I now live is San Francisco Bay Area climate. I've heard rumours that other parts of Australia are "quite hot" but who can say

I assumed this was the case for a lot of the southern hemisphere (especially the colonised parts), but I'm hoping SOMEONE has come up with a nicer way to do winter. There are some winter solstice events around in Australia but nothing ubiquitous- certainly no major national holidays

Australian winter:

-no Christmas (that's in summer)
-no summer holidays (that's at Christmas)
-its just cold and nothing happens
-do your tax return
-you find out what the song of the summer is
