Retired sound engineer. Yes I do know what all those knobs and buttons do. And no, vinyl does NOT sound better. Sydney Australia. Definitely not getting more conservative as I get older.

I had no idea all those nice little grey-haired old ladies from the leafy North Shore I saw on the way to the Harbour Bridge march were there to stoke hatred and inspire terrorism! They will be pretty shocked to find out, too!

Learning to cook from American recipes is rough not just because they’re all “add a thumb of butter, a thimble of heavy molasses and a quarter ladle of Graham flour to your mixing bowl, stir and bake at 846° for 10 minutes” but because everything has weird names, Arugula, Cilantro, Garbanzo beans

The birthplace of the 36 Months campaign and its push for a teen social media ban was in the boardroom of advertising company FINCH. Meanwhile, staff in that same company were hard at work on another campaign for gambling company TAB.

It’s a mystery to me why Australia and other developed economies are still pretending that America has not completely lost its mind. Take the gloves and tell them that if they insist on isolating themselves in their little Jesus and Guns bubble they should leave the rest of us out of it.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Punch Nazis shirt. It also functions as a 100% effective Nazi detector. If someone sees you wearing this and takes issue with it, that's a Nazi.
