@BriannaWu Ahhhh, I disagree. Think this Aussie is on par! Voice to rival the great Mr Hutchence, swagger to boot!

Follow distance is a real issue for me. To be honest, everything else is perfect (apart from intervening to miss the damn potholes out here in Western Victoria 😩) but when it is less than a car length at 100kph it’s just too uncomfortable. And that’s even on chill and sloth, can’t seem to get it to leave more of a gap.

@McStavo @ryanjaycowan Yep in Australia, and have starlink internet, so that won’t be the issue. Guess I just have to be patient for the rollout! 😩

@SkyNewsAust Wow - suggest you check your facts. This has already been fact checked as inaccurate!

Cute theory, let's play it out.

A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.

But... oh wait, there is no pile.

It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.

The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.

Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.

The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.

But it gets worse.

Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.

Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.

So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.

So the monkeys sit there.

No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.

Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.

OH

And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

Blake Lively’s Met Gala Moment Was Deeply Tone-Deaf

Blake Lively showing up at the Met Gala this year, smiling like nothing happened, honestly felt surreal. Not in a good way. More like… are we all just expected to pretend the last two years didn’t happen?

Because that’s what it looked like. A reset. A clean slate. As if everything that went down with Justin Baldoni just evaporated the moment she stepped onto that carpet in a Versace gown.

And I’m sorry, but it doesn’t work like that.

You don’t get to be at the center of a situation that serious, with that much damage done to someone’s reputation, and then just reappear in full glamour mode like it was all some minor inconvenience. Whether people want to admit it or not, that whole situation left a mark. On him, on the project, and on how people see her now.

What makes it worse is the timing. Walking into one of the most visible events in the world right after everything wrapped up just feels… off. There’s no reflection in that. No pause. No sense that any of it actually mattered beyond being something to get past.

And then there’s the bigger issue. When something tied to a story about domestic violence turns into this kind of public spectacle, it cheapens it. It stops being about the message and starts being about ego, control, and image. That’s the part that doesn’t sit right.

You can call it strategy, you can call it PR, but to a lot of people it just reads as tone-deaf.

Versace dressing her? That’s their choice. But let’s not pretend fashion houses don’t pick sides when they do that. They know exactly what kind of attention it brings. Same with the Met Gala. They don’t “accidentally” invite people. Every name is a decision.

So yeah, people are going to question it. They should.

Because this didn’t feel like a comeback. It felt like someone stepping right back into the spotlight without acknowledging the weight of what just happened. Like the expectation is that the audience will move on simply because she has.

Not everyone will.

And honestly, they shouldn’t have to.

PS: That’s the only soundtrack that actually fits that red carpet. moment.
