Every election, we've made a video to help Aussie voters understand how our (fkn awesome) preferential voting system works. This one's for the 2025 election. Good luck Australia! 💛#auspol

(In case it needs to be said: this is satire, NOT official electoral advice!)

[Amanda Kool 🖤✒️💀 / @[email protected] @amandishk]

@TheEscherMan I was very happy to see this. Best of luck to you!

Planeteers! We're back to talk Trump tariffs and the Democrat revival... with a few other changes too... 9.30pm @abctv

THE GOOD NEWS: You wanted our takes on the Signal controversy? Well, here's PEP204! https://t.co/j3SCUSWt2A And about 12 hours earlier than usual!
THE BAD NEWS: Getting the podcast out at a decent hour is so taxing we might just need a week off ;)
Seeya in 2 weeks. Stay PEPpy!

I don't, in a million years, think my novella will garner enough votes for a Hugo nom. I'm not deluded. But I do know it is a damn good book, & worthy of your time. And to paraphrase Bilbo: why shouldn't I, have a crack at the prize?

(Ballot closes March 14).

#Aurealis Non-fiction in Issue #178 has the absorbing ‘Clark Ashton Smith and the Zothique’ by Joseph Sullivan, the engrossing ‘Frankenstein in Pop Culture: The Early Years’ by Claire Fitzpatrick, fascinating ‘Tasmanian Gothic: Landscape as a Vessel for Horror’ by Stuart Olver

[PEP with Chas and Dr Dave @PEPChasDrDave]

You've waited long enough. So PEP's back with not only PEP 193 https://t.co/5IOcTx8bak but a PEP 193 EXTRA pod (PEEP 193?!) https://t.co/ephfpjW9eD Don't ever say we underdeliver!
