@GarforthGallon I didn’t say you were, I said your premise was implicitly misogynist. You’d get laughed out of court in ten seconds.

If you’re wondering how we got to where we are now, have a look at what used to be offered as comedy television. Note the various expressions that pass across Lily Allen’s face.

I realise that this is nearly 20 years ago but Russell Brand and Noel Fielding joking about being a rapist is absolutely chilling.

How was this ever considered "funny"?

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

Watching the hordes of Australians using the new Sandpapergate revelations as an excuse to vent their barely disguised racism is unedifying but unsurprising.

@GarforthGallon Assuming one accepts your badly expressed and implicitly misogynist premise, if you’re right then that makes it even more remarkable that even the barometer of wholesomeness would be disgusted by these two twats.

Dear Australian retailers, we get why you have to do it, but Black Friday means nothing to Australians and will continue to mean nothing to us, so all these emails and messages are so annoying as to be counterproductive sales-wise. Just a heads-up.

@_HelenDale I’ve never understood why anybody would automatically be altogether on anybody else’s side, except as a matter of personal loyalty. The tribal/binary thing and its triumph in public life is a massive failure of the intellect, IMO.

@CopperCation @jk_rowling And Germaine Greer told us this fifty years ago, so it’s not as if it’s news.

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

@jk_rowling Came for the entertainment, to see how many people in the comments would immediately somehow twist this innocuously expressed and precisely logical post into something to do with their own obsessions, no matter how irrelevant, and so far have not been disappointed.

@SydneyLWatson If I were not in contempt of anyone who uses the word ‘retarded’ except in its most strictly literal sense, I’d say that what’s fascinating and retarded is your apparent belief that decisions made in one country don’t affect any other country.

@BrainsinNo @ShiftingSands2 @jk_rowling You’re not performing femininity very well there. Knee-jerk aggression and addressing strangers online as “jackass” are usually pretty reliable signs of maleness.

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

@pup_shay_ @jk_rowling There are millions of male nobodies out there who think they are entitled to attention and engagement from famous women, but most dogs know better. Your costume would be more convincing if you learned how to behave more like your spirit animal.

[Antony (Tony) Walker @tonywalker1]

Good to see Cathy Wilcox speaking up against gutless behavior of her editors at 'Nine Entertainment' who not only threw her under a bus, but aligned themselves with toxic criticisms levelled against her. Shameful episode, and designed to intimidate. In case of Nine it worked

@dowhah @jk_rowling I was taking that for granted and indeed know it from personal experience; I once choked up when I was teaching this book to an Honours class. They were all teary too.

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

@miroirdufou @jk_rowling @AnthonyG0528 @stonewalluk If you’d ever actually read anything she has written on the subject, up to and including this clear and detailed response, you would know that what you’re saying is utter bollocks.

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

@NatalieMoran20 @sylvia2823 @noplaceforsheep On a side note, has anyone else noticed the disturbing rise of Pete Hegseth hair among male politicians?

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Absolutely.

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

@chinguetti1 @noplaceforsheep @DavidShoebridge What ‘others’ do you mean?

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

Once Hanson has gone, it’ll be fun to watch James Ashby, Barnaby Joyce, Warren Pickering and Mark Nicholson (plus whatever as yet unknown penises jostle in the wings) trying to exterminate each other to get to the top job. Any cartoon on the subject will of course just be satire.

[Kerryn Goldsworthy 🤓🤔🙄😳😱 🎓📚📝🎶🥂 @AdelaideBook]

@PatsKarvelas did a great job this afternoon keeping her cool with B. Joyce (who was being shouty and, ahem, wayward) and forcing him to at least address her questions. But she sounded very relieved to say goodbye to him and hello to the gentle, rational, and sober Anne Aly.

@BeCarbin @noplaceforsheep No worse than putting your fresh fruit and veg in a trolley containing a child wearing shoes in which she or he has been running around outside all day.
