I really enjoyed Train Dreams, a thoughtful little film like they don’t make anymore, except they do because it’s from last year. Good use of Edgerton’s craggly little face.

when I find really nice rocks digging in the garden or walking the dog, I save them to give to my best friends because we are all of us simple creatures of the earth, otters and penguins and crows carrying a smooth shiny pebble to give to someone we love
You can take a rock home and no one can stop you. Pick up a piece of 430 million year old sandstone from the banks of the river, where it has lain since it was sand on the bed of a vanished sea, in turn eroded from long-gone mountain ranges in the centre of the continent. Perfectly legal.

The first real plants to appear on the Earth, 422 million years ago, were first discovered by humans via fossils unearthed in Yea, Victoria, in 1875. Would you like to see how we have commemorated that scientific achievement

No one could defend this behaviour. Except the Australian media, who will do so while repeating the easily disprovable claims from Zionists that she’s antisemitic
The Advertiser has the letter Malinauskas wrote to the board of Adelaide Festival. It is very hard to see how this is not a direction to remove Abdel-Fattah, despite a line saying board decisions are independent. drive.google.com/file/d/169Pi...

Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese has said Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot generating sexualised images of women and children is ‘abhorrent’, but he has an account posting on the site. People in his replies then try to prompt Grok to make images of the PM in a bikini
Australian politicians are condemning X and Grok, so why won’t they leave the platform?
