@DavidPocock and public hearings!

@oldtoons_ I've always loved the Liberace reference (even before I knew who Liberace was) and somehow the line 'Dew Drop Inn did drop down' always amuses me.

@gaitaigan @roas_TT do you have the hangul for the 1990 film?

[박태훈 @roas_TT]

일본에서 한국 민주화 영화가 유행하고 있나보다. 좋은 영화가 많지. 택시운전사, 1987도 좋지만, “파업전야”와 “카트”, “다음소희”도 봐주면 좋겠다

@strangerous10 and poor old Simon Benson probably had to use his own hard-grafted Murdoch money from writing BS for The Australian to accompany his gf. If Scooter was still PM, Bridget would have paid for him too!

The NACC Commissioner accidentally emailing his resignation to the wrong person is inspiring. Even as he ended his run, his dedication to being completely incompetent held strong.

@marshlands This was prevalent in Asia in the early 2010s, and particularly noticeable with film-savvy Korean indies.
More marketing strategy than coincidence/or homage I've always thought.

this photo is magnificent but it's the little thumbs up which transforms it into art of the highest order

@yoshiyatabe Omedeto!

[Russell Edwards @buffrusselled]

@PynchonInPublic Yeah, I know he had 11 other roles, but really how much presence did this guy have in this film?

[Russell Edwards @buffrusselled]

You kidding me? This is the greatest one scene career!

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten senseless on camera by their captors - Israel

The most prominent Israel advocate in Australia - Jillian Segal - has so far said nothing about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens nor condemned this atrocious abuse of human rights and brutality by her home state of Israel

Jillian Segal is an employee of the Australian people charged with promoting "social cohesion" and her silence on this blatant Israeli abuse of her fellow Australians is a disgrace to these abused citizens and to the Australian taxpayers who fund her

The rising tensions between South Korea and Israel are one of the most interesting underreported stories in the West...

It's time for media to stop dancing around One Nation like when they were lucky to achieve 2% of the vote.

Expose them, analyse them, call out their lack of actual policy, highlight the flaws. Ask hard questions in interviews and if they refuse, go harder #auspol #insiders

▶️Weibo post by "碧婷锅", who posted this pic of Trump's Beijing arrival and wrote: "Seems like a salute to The Truman Show" (疑似致敬楚门的世界), which apparently resonated since it received over 10,000 likes on Weibo and is still ongoing with people still cracking up over it today 😂

Given that journos rarely get to write their own headlines, this oddly titled article must have been commissioned by Auteuil's people so it can be sent to every Hollywood casting director.
