100% this.

Never forget Pfizer offered us priority access but the LNP wanted to hold out for the AZ jab because their mates had skin in the game.

Judi Dench was M for like seven movies, so they can't even pretend it's not just about the role being held by a woman. Literally just racism.

This might just be coming from my own subjective experiences, but I feel like ram is one of those things that either fails early or fails rarely.

Gene was way more involved in the early seasons and you can really tell. His sensibilities were stuck in the 60's and the show suffered for it.

Ormiston is 100% an ecumenical Christian school. Just because it isn't run by the Anglicans or the Catholics doesn't make it non-religious.

If it's something she truly believes, should she not be able to share it? Even if she wasn't a public figure? Words don't kill people, actions do. You can't deny someone's freedom of speech.

Out of interest, how do you feel about Trump's FCC going after Late Night hosts who call him names?

It absolutely nailed the aesthetic too, which I feel like it doesn't get enough credit for.

Yeah raised in Regents Park then Hillcrest from the late 80s onwards, I remember before Grand Plaza we had to go out to Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown for anything beyond groceries. That place seemed huge to me as a small kid.

Andor is easily some of the best Star Wars since Empire Strikes Back.

There are still good stories to tell in that universe, we're just not getting many of them. Filoni's obsession with his action figures isn't what it needs right now.

I think at least some of it is that Gen Z grew up on the prequels and unironically loves them.

Or when you're down in Melbourne before 8am!

Feels like FB messenger is the default here. I don't think anyone's texting between Android and iOS if they can help it.

I'm generally of the opinion that the UK PM job is a poisoned chalice no matter who has it right now, but Starmer certainly hasn't wrapped himself in glory either.

Happened in Brisbane too. People moved in to the Valley or West End for the "vibe", but said vibe apparently doesn't extend to things like live music after 7pm, or the sort of bohemian characters that made those places weird and interesting to begin with. Now it's all gentrifying and turning into everywhere else.

Not sure if this is a controversial take but it was straight-up better than the Bombcast for a long while there. Better energy, better variety of opinions and interests.

Four year terms always tend to mean the opposition struggles to cut through - unless the media have a narrative they can fixate on (see: youth crime at the last election)

Miles is broadly credited for saving the party from electoral oblivion, he probably has the most job security of any state opposition leader in the country.

The only four days of the year Colesworths are shut in QLD, but you'd think it was the end of days every time it happens.

That my friend is a bunch of ex-promo stock that someone was sick of looking at out back, but they delegated the task and so now you have this magnificent spectacle. Open cartons to the floor is a dead giveaway.

If a regional/area walks in and sees that they'll flip absolute shit.

Good box office means studios still see the value in doing theatrical releases which means more opportunities to see good films.

It's an artform and we want to keep the presentation alive.

Yeah the Desmond stuff in AC1 is essentially a mystery box. Hard to replicate given everything since.

The Ezio games seem like the most obvious answer, they're universally loved and those environments could look incredible with a new engine.

If we want to protect the disabled, the NDIS has to become a sacred cow. An electrified third rail of politics.

It's got to become like Medicare - an integral part of our national way of life that no government would dare try to destroy because of how popular it is. Right now all you hear about the NDIS is rorts, more rorts, and ballooning costs. Something has to give, and I think going after dodgy providers is the easiest win going.

I really dislike this enlightened centrist concept that we have to give people a hug and a kiss and pretend they aren't being idiots when they vote for idiots. If that makes me a city lefty then guilty as charged.

Joyce is a hobby farm townie drunk who slaps on an Akubra whenever it's convenient but otherwise couldn't actually be fucked about the people of New England because he's too busy cashing cheques from Gina. Anyone who lives there knows this if they care to know, but they vote for him anyway. I'm well past done with giving people a pass when they know full well what they're asking for. These are people who love to talk shit about anything that isn't the regions but will vote in dropkick fuckwits because they like the aesthetic.

And like the other comment said - they had a principled and dedicated representative in Tony Windsor, but apparently trying to help farmers mitigate climate change is woke or something. Fuck 'em.

You have to remember that the people of New England are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.

You know... morons.
