@HartWexford You are not afraid of taking on the big issues of the moment. Clearly Travolta’s Smooth Criminal gets him over the line.

[Ben Pobjie @HartWexford]

Which is better: Michael (1996), starring John Travolta, or this year's remake?

"When I think of my tongue being no longer alive in the mouths of men a chill goes over me that is deeper than my own death, since it is the gathered death of all my kind".

David Malouf: The Only Speaker of His Tongue, Antipodes, 1985

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

The passing of the great Australian author #davidmalouf reminds me of his book of essays Typewriter Music. That title alone captured his love of writing and his dance with words and ideas. Rest in poetry.

Looks like I haven’t had a real interaction here since (checks notes) 2025.

I think support for the Iranian people against the evil regime should be balanced by the fact that the US does not care one bit about the Iranian people and is not acting for their sake.

There has been an update to active public exposures sites for measles cases in Victoria.

People who have visited an active site should monitor for symptoms of measles and follow health advice.

What? Surely the first thibg you’d do would be to talk to former staff @Meanjin?

[Crikey @crikey_news]

Meanjin's former editor says that she and the journal's prior cultural and advisory literary board were not notified of QUT's acquiring the publication before the announcement today. https://t.co/YTt79ku0Qm

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

Chuffed to hear @Meanjin is back https://t.co/7yjblIpZ9E

‘A cartoon is an in-joke that’s for everyone.’ So sad to hear of the passing of Jon Kudelka, @jonkudelka a generous funny cartoonist. I was lucky enough to interview him when he won Behind the Lines as best cartoonist.

@HartWexford You are a maths professor. Theoretical Mathematics but it still counts.

'Tyrants always fear art because tyrants want to mystify while art tends to clarify. The good artist is a vehicle of truth...However it may be admitted that in this age art seems to have rather more enemies than usual...tyrants of course are still here and we know what they do.'

Great to see #micronations thriving in this geopolitical goulash. https://t.co/OiKaTvUrou

@PaulineHansonOz @hasanthehun @OneNationAus Tickets were $99 in Naarm (which was used as one of the main jokes). Sounds like a movie for battlers not Ginas.

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

@PaulineHansonOz What the full trailer?

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

@bldwnvilleUSA @BasilTheGreat It was in theatres. Here’s a look https://t.co/vf6TQPQODb

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

@BasilTheGreat It hasn’t been banned. The 3 screenings in my city charged $99 for a ticket. Definitely a film for the battlers and not Gina Rhineheart.

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

Great news, guys!

[George Dunford (he/him) @Hack_packer]

@1KarenWyld Wishing you a better 2026. It was a shite year all round but sorry to hear for you and fam. Stay safe this year.
