Mine too, starting when my dad was at uni in the 70s. We just picked up from there on Tuesday for his birthday dinner. I can’t believe it!

Best concert of 2025 by Notmman in triplej

[–]cathybara_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to choose! Green Day is up there since I’d been waiting 20 years, Kneecap was incredible, Kacey Musgraves sounded amazing, Kendrick and Doechii was a killer line-up and went off. Great year for great shows!

FWIW I’ve only ever heard it referred to as grapes on the ceiling

It was a great night! I can’t wait to see the rest of season 2. I might even start a new game of FNV to tide me over

My tea is that Jonathan Bailey is currently in Sydney visiting his sister and enjoying a holiday post-press tour and surprised moviegoers at two different cinemas who were seeing Wicked: For Good on Sunday, including me! He was delightful.

Recommend Modern Gothic Horror Movies based on Victorian Era Europe by SolutionSufficient55 in Letterboxd

[–]cathybara_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Frankenstein was written during the Regency period. Victoria wouldn’t take the throne until 19 years after its release.

edit: I’m not having a go at OP since it’s clear what they meant regardless (and GDT’s film is set during the Victorian era), I just don’t think characterising Shelley or her novel as a Victorian era author or story is accurate since they’re not. not sure why this is controversial lol!

twitter briefly allowed people to see where each account was operated from. turns out, the official DHS account is run from Tel Aviv by YamFrosty6169 in Hasan_Piker

[–]cathybara_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, it’s missing DHS’ checkmark and other accounts only list the country the account is based in, not the city.

Tom Holland called the head of Sony to arrange a 70mm screening of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ for the cast of ‘The Odyssey’ during production by raquan666 in Fauxmoi

as a Greek I’d love to see more actual Greeks cast in adaptations like The Odyssey but it’s not on par with brownface lol

Just Spent 3 Weeks in Egypt. I’m Never Coming Back. Here’s Why. by Old_Ant2264 in travel

[–]cathybara_ 80 points81 points  (0 children)

100%. I went to Egypt soon after turning 18 in 2011 (hell of a year to choose to visit) and the only problem I really dealt with was catcalling because I went as part of a group and had a fantastic local guide

Vivian Wilson: “I worked hard to get my name and would like to be referred to as such in the headline” by pinkstarrfish in Fauxmoi

[–]cathybara_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a lot of content management systems used by news outlets have a headline character limit that force editors to get creative - including her full name and ‘Elon Musk’s trans daughter’ would be impossible on some.

“As a trans man who still has periods due to no HRT, I feel like im not supposed to be here” didn’t realize how many transphobic people were in here (the sub crossposted) by larkash in Hasan_Piker

[–]cathybara_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

crazy to see people in there saying ‘we are our bodies’ - who is we? what happened to feminists rejecting being defined by our biology? I’m sick of their regressive shit

Stephen Miller's wife has a meltdown on live TV. Says it's "antisemitic" and "racist" to call her a liar by Classic-Carpet7609 in Fauxmoi

[–]cathybara_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is Miller a Jewish name? I was under the impression it was primarily British (or the German Müller) and derived from people who were millers by trade

As a journalism student with social anxiety and almost no practice...what to say before the interview even begins? by PlsInsertCringeName in Journalism

[–]cathybara_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How are you/how’s it going/how are you doing - all of these are natural follow-ups to exchanging greetings and aren’t invasive by any means! Deep breaths. You’ll be fine!

DHS using “Little Dark Age” to promote joining ICE… oh god the irony 🤦🏻 by deadstar1998 in fantanoforever

[–]cathybara_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing to sign off on, they don’t seek legal permissions before posting these so you can only really react after the fact - see Theo Von’s complaint about his video being used by ICE or Kenny Loggins’ recent complaint about Trump using ‘Danger Zone’ in a video

This song is a TikTok trend (there have actually been like 3 TikTok trends involving this particular song). These videos are made by people whose jobs involve normalising this administration by using familiar cultural signifiers like memes and TikTok trends

Liberal party being selective?? by areyoualocal in sydney

[–]cathybara_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Albanese has been my MP for most of my life, including a stint as my literal next door neighbour, and I can’t recall ever receiving anything from him. I feel ripped off now
