🚨 Australian horror klaxon 🚨
The recent zero-budget found footage film THE HOUSEHOLD on Tubi is not the best horror film ever made, but is probably the most authentic representation of young white Australians I've ever seen on film.
Impeccable vibes, five stars, no notes.

Bankrupting is too good for an industry whose business model includes encouraging children to kill themselves, but I'm happy to start there.

The three peregrine falcons – two females and one male – fledged late last week, with the footage of their first flight posted on Instagram by non-profit organisation Bird Life Australia. The last falcon took flight shortly after 9am on Saturday for the second time – after returning to the ledge in a crash landing the day before. Continue reading...

Repulsed is a strong word, so I'll leave Spader and Gosling out of this. But I will grab the microphone hard and holler JARED LETO like an icked-out banshee.
What actor are you so (rationally or not) repulsed by that their work, no matter how good, is unwatchable to you?

Its hot, lower atmosphere shining through the cooler cloud layers above.
You show me Jupiter and I'll show you a planet that wants you dead.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face; we have been in a disinfo/propaganda war with Russia since 2014, & it's one of the few things their military is genuinely excellent at, & we're fucking LOSING
