-Cop trips over his own bike, dragging guy with him by his bag
-Other cops start viciously *punching* guy as the unco bike cop drags him along?
Would almost be funny if it wasn't so disgusting. Psychos.

Heartbroken to hear of Jon Kudelka’s passing. one of the funniest and kindest people I’ve ever known - a purely online friendship that always made me look forward to the day I’d meet him in Tassie and, hopefully, get a tour of his studio. A gentleman, a genius, and a saint. None like him.

I’d like to do some writers festivals this year. I thought your publisher applied for them, but apparently not. Critically acclaimed book, third print run - I’d love to talk about it if you’ll have me.

What a disgrace.
ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.
This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

Getting ready to review the mushroom book and fell in an absolute mineshaft thinking about how life has been cheapened in the last decade and a bit through the thoroughgoing transformation of death into content — we have lived through the normalisation of snuff.

reading Australian new releases will radicalise you. We let so much dogshit past the keeper. If you’re a good writer, it should make you angry.

being an NDIS support worker can be hard, but it's also rewarding. This is my friend Bilal. His family moved to Perth from Pakistan in 2003. We spend most sessions taking trips to the Lego Store. Here he is pitching his idea for a 'tenga x lego' collab. He is a dreamer! He inspires me! # able

I, for one, welcome Isaac Herzog to Australia, and would like to go a step further than the Prime Minister and request The Good Herzog extend his visit to my own manor for a guided tour of my vast wine cellar, where I have a beautiful cask of amontillado I'd love him to sample.
