Listening to another cracker from @janfran.bsky.social and @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social and thought of these guys when they proposed a PR push for the media. Cheers!

Imagine thinking that THAT'S what "went wrong with Lattouf". A very cool answer from JS too. What even is this entire exchange?? Fucken hell.

Respect to Crikey for being the only place willing to cover the transformation in Australian media happening right now. No other outlet’s media reporters seem to think it’s interesting to their readers - couldn’t imagine why. www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/07/g...

It's true. It is so good.
Absolutely loving @janfran.bsky.social Conspiracy? About the Waterfront Dispute. Fascinating. There’s 2/6 episodes up on the ABC Listen app. Can’t wait for the rest. It’s so good.

"In relation to the claim of racial discrimination. The ABC says that this claim must fail because Ms Lattouf has not proven there is a Lebanese, Arab or Middle Eastern race." Pls hold while I think about this statement for the next 12 to 24 years.

Yeah I get the click bait element/news traffic low etc but I don’t think that’s the bit that’s unsettling me. Not sure why I hate this so much but I plan to involuntarily think about it for the next 24-72 hours at a minimum.

Not that I’m averse to hot celeb goss but something about this makes me very unsettled.
January 9, 2025 at 2:12 AM
The ABC does(did?) this all the time, just rip celeb news from Instagram - and it wasn’t even interesting celeb news, it was always Mathew McConaughey writes a birthday letter to his son or whatever…
January 9, 2025 at 2:12 AM
So not to hate because I clicked, but why is there a whole article in the Guardian based entirely off one Instagram post from Paris Jackson?
