“Blame it on the Rain” - Milli Vanilli
Which song do you think Rupert and his pals were listening to as the decade emerged? I'd like to imagine it was "Deep Heat 89" by Latino Rave.

Marginally catastrophic *gulp*
Fire danger in four zones of Victoria today is 'Catastrophic' with the remaining areas all just one level below that at 'Extreme'. Though I just now heard a BoM spokesman describe the central zone, which includes Melbourne, as 'Marginally Catastrophic'.

It’s really quite something that politicians like Jason Clare can call social media a “cesspit” when they are pushing for a youth social media ban, while they to post cheek by jowl with the CSAM robot over on the everything website.

The Republican Party is the political wing of a Christian white nationalist movement. ICE is the secret police for them.

There is no democratic compromise with a movement whose goal is authoritarian control of a nation, culture and institutions.

There are ALWAYS receipts for these incompetent knobs
Josh Frydenberg was part of the Coalition government cohort who attempted to weaken Australia's Racial Discrimination Act. By March 2017 it was clear the government didn't have the numbers in the senate to modify section 18c. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Racial Discrimination Act change would require public support, says Frydenberg
Frontbencher says he is aware of sensitivities around 18C but it needs to be changed because it isn’t working well

Talismanic Mitchell Starc adds final flourish to his imperious Ashes series | Geoff Lemon
Talismanic Mitchell Starc adds final flourish to his imperious Ashes series | Geoff Lemon
The bowler’s smarts and stamina from the first ball in Perth to the last in Sydney – not to mention his batting – made him a worthy man of the series It was right that Mitchell Starc should clean up the last two English wickets of this Ashes. Right, too, that Travis Head should mop up a few more runs, but for all of the enjoyment that Head brings with his Jayasuriya-lite batting and his Boon-lite persona, the difference in the series has been the other left-hander. The fifth morning of the Sydney Test took Starc to 31 wickets at 19, and crossing 30 is the stuff of great Ashes series. Sixteen other Australians have done it, a list mostly comprised of players who only need be identified by surnames. In the manner of schoolteachers meeting you as an adult, some people are stuck with a memory of Starc as he was at the beginning: a lanky possessor of promise with the risk of being wayward, expensive or injured. In the manner of truly fast bowlers, he is seen as part animal, part force of nature: his feats are elements unleashed, not the work of brain and skill. He is admired for that while still viewed as livestock. Like, Gandalf’s horse is awesome, but it’s still a horse. Continue reading...

I guess Australian media/politics is just gonna pretend the grok stuff isn't happening huh. I guess actually reporting on it might invite awkward questions like "why the fuck are you pathetic engagement junkies still there"
