It's great that we dont have coffee chains in my neighbourhood. That way all the coffee shops can independently decide to look exactly the same and serve the exact same things.

This year, more people than ever have forgotten that we've never really been a flag-worshipping country. That whole thing is being imported from the States. Nothing says "I Love My Country" like importing your politics, positions, and rituals from another country.

I love that every 2 year we have to re-explain "infinite diversity in infinite combinations" to the same guys.
While they say "but not this combination!".

It's pretty funny how little will change if Newsom wins the next US election.

Nothing reminds you of your position in the universe than a barber fucking your hair right up.

During the 1980 Olympic Boycott, Carter proposed that the Olympics be permanently moved to Greece to avoid political entanglement. It's time to make that happen.

The state always expects the untrained average citizen to protect the professionally trained law enforcer from confusion or fear in times of stress, or they get to pay with their lives.

What about one of those incompetence vs job movies where, due to convoluted reasons, Matt Berry is forced to be a Jame Bond style spy.

Australia today is a library day.
Your local library are one of the few free to visit public places that have air-conditioning, so grab the kids and head there!
And today is the perfect time to meet them and see if they would like to come with you.

Its been pretty funny watching people who don't know much about Brigitte Bardot besides photos, post RIPs about her and then in real time learn about Brigitte Bardot.

If you're a progressive politician in charge of the government and you lose to bad guys, it's your fault. Maybe some others too but 100% If you had power to change laws, funding and help people, and you didn't do enough of it for people to vote for you, it's your fault.

I wish more of our cities were named after scientists.
Is it just Darwin, or are there more?
