Succumbing to bullying from right-wing corporations like News Corp creates a guaranteed win for News Corp: First, the scalp, and then the subsequent decay / collapse of the institution due to the entirely justified backlash and scandal.

The only response is: **never submit to the bullies**

Arts Minister Tony Burke made some remarks earlier this week about Creative Australia’s decision to ditch Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as the pick for the 61st Venice Biennale.

They didn’t get much coverage but I can’t get them out of my head.

So here you go.

Late to The Substance party but far out, what a cinematic masterpiece.
Demi: incredible. Cinematography: brilliant. Clever historic film references: LOVED.
Not one single sympathetic portrayal of a man: hilarious.
Plus one of the best final half hour scenes in a film ever. All the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have just been squished between two giants, kicked in the back by a toddler for 45 mins, and coughed at by everyone else in close proximity.

Air travel is ever so delightful.

There was a very particular part life on the bird site circa 2009-16 that delivered some human gems to me.

I don’t I have the desire, time or tenacity for conversation with strangers as I did then but I’m hopeful I’ll be surprised and delighted by the evolution, rather than horrified.
