Big fan of this group of mercenaries in the Nigerian Civil War. Reads like a Dungeons and Dragons party.

Extract from a 1992 survey of youth subcultures about Australian metal fans. Notable words and phrases include: a list of slurs, and "Megadeth rules".

The latter has arguably dated worse

Got my bingo sheet for my most wanted announcements for Summer Games Fest tonight.

I am not coping.

Hilarious new Trump post. Quite a big fan of "Vladimir, STOP!", like he's telling his child to stop running up and down the train aisle.

When you reference a twitter or truth social or bsky post, you have to put the entire tweet in the bibliography. Trump tweets like such a manic, it makes my bibliography look like it was vandalised

Quite entertained with this book's reverse cover, which is just an image of Kerry O'Brien looking like the emperor from Star Wars

Repost the first album you bought with your own money

Brilliant image from 1950 implying that if you are to be caught outside during a nuclear blast, a hat will keep you safe.

For what it's worth: a fantastic point. Take it straight from the mouth of the leading voice of the Australian far right: this is the fascist playbook. Moronic headlines help them, just as we've seen with trump.

Final post to hammer home my point. Please enjoy this excerpt from "All For Australia" (Blainey, 1984)

Often, reading old newspapers, you stumble across a gem.

Another classic from the boss. You will never in a million years guess what this week's topic is.

I would like to share this excerpt from one of the lectures that my boss has given to the students and I am expected to follow up on in a tutorial.

Madame Web has been criticised for: *lists all components of a movie*

I *have* to see this film

If you see this, post a famous fictional weapon.

The board approves/agrees that this is the best/greatest/adequate weapon in a game/computer program

Filmsky Letterboxd users, I would love to know what the most obscure movie you watched in 2023 was 📽

Dark Age: Jaws with Australians

Street at the parent's village looks like smth out of Alan Wake tonight

This is a second place contender. It's rare that this area has no people in so this was a lucky photo op.
