Cult classic but still pop (cultured). In this essay I would like to thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Post a meme made by you:
Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo on set of the first Avengers film, both ensconced in a sports car; overlaid text reads "Get in loser, we're going shopping," quoting Regina George (Rachel McAdams) from Mean Girls.

Comment I left on the video subsequent to a much debated music poll:
@fastbak77 9 days ago When this dropped three months ago 1 thought Todd had done his usual excellent job with compling this video together (even as an Aussie ! was surprised by the cameos by Richard Wilkins and Natalie Bassingthwaite), however over the weekend this was voted by the Australian public as the third (!) most popular Aussie song ever in the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs. Regardless of fts perception as a one-hit wonder overseas (allowing for Todd's usual caveats), here Dow Under it's part of our musical heritage and canon forever more. Can't say that about most other songs that Todd has covered in this series (except Midnight Oils' " Beds Are Burning", which reached no. 1 8 in the aforementioned countdown). Reply ○ @TurboRampage 4 days ago 1 Touch Myself by The Divinyls was No. 54 (and Todd has covered that one as well)l @fastbak77 0 seconds ago @TurboRampage Whoops! Good catch, appreciate the correctionl

Cover to Superman vol. 1 no. 125 by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye, on which the titular character is shooting rainbows from his hands, as was the style at the time.

Oh, very good Umbrella Entertainment, well played.
Screenshot of Umbrella Entertainment's Facebook post dated April 1st 2025, which reads: "We are excited to announce our NEW 4K restoration of the lost Martin Scorsese classic GONCHAROV starring Robert De Niro (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle) and Al Pacino (Jack and Jill). Coming soon!" The movie poster depicts De Niro and Pacino in their 70's heyday, along with portraits of Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, John Cazale and Gene Hackman. These are set against a stereotypical Russian/Italian backdrop with a car ablaze in the foreground. Above this is the movie's title shot through with bullet holes, accompanied by the strapline 'Winter Comes To Naples'. All of which is a complete fabrication - note the date of the post.

Aussie news sites had a completely normal one on YouTube as well.
Seriously, let's not normalise this shit like it's a BuzzFeed listicle or an awards night red carpet. There's nothing funny about what happened at the inauguration. All involved showed their true colours, and we should be worried.
Two screen caps from YouTube featuring video thumbnails, one from news.com.au depicting "President Trump's inauguration wildest moments" (ugh), another from 10 News First reporting - and I use the term loosely - "Trump Inauguration Must See Moments" (yuck).

Posting this for absolutely no reason at all today:

Vale David Lynch.
"We are like the spider. We weave our life and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. This is true for the entire universe." David Lynch, paraphrasing the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

This may or may not be regarding the recent Meta announcements...
White text on a dark grey background that reads: "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." Originally attributed to George Orwell, said quote is by conservative writer Selwyn Duke.

Actually me last night/this morning. (The Sydney Morning Herald, New South Wales, December 31, 1955.)
A cartoon, six panels: 1) a man asleep in bed, with an old-fashioned alarm clock ringing at 12am (presumably midnight on New Year's Day). Beside his bed is a nightstand with a hat (more accurately, a fez), a party whistle, and a glass of wine. 2) the man, now awake, reaches towards the nightstand- 3) -puts on the fez- 4) -sips the glass on wine- 5) -blows the whistle- 6) -and then goes back to sleep, with the clock showing the time to be five past twelve.

Was just reminded what a bad mood I was in on Boxing Day eleven years ago:
An old tweet of mine, posted on this day in 2013, which reads: "Xmas film mashup: JAWS. ACTUALLY - a series of vignettes featuring smug Brits being stalked & eaten by a huge fuck-off shark. $ (money) in the bank!"

I see that the comics speculators are, if you'll pardon the pun, looking to pull off a Krypto scam.
Alex Ross's cover for Superman no. 680, depicting Krypto the 'Dog of Steel' perched atop a statue of a lion, the skyline of Metropolis behind him. Said cover is pictured on a website selling comics with the sticker price of $30, which is - suffice to say - stupidly expensive.

First promo pic from the Malcolm in the Middle revival just dropped:
Bryan Cranston in character as Hal from "Malcolm in the Middle", with the caption 'Boy, I sure do love making meth!' Said caption being an humorous allusion to Cranston's later role as Walter 'Heisenberg' White in "Breaking Bad" (he is the one who knocks, et and cetera).
