Always thought SUVs are a far-too-obvious metaphor for our era of neoliberalism. Take out a big loan to enclose your family in a comfortable bubble. Safe inside, deadly to those around you. theguardian.com/news/datablo…

I can die happy now. The first time I got to speak to her, that was in April 2022. Feels like a million years ago. And now, she will always have “Academy Award nominee” in front of her name. Also, you guys are not ready for her performance in JOY RIDE #StephanieHsu #EEAAO #SXSW

I’m not much of a political strategist but if I had info that Australia was going to get hit with a summer of record temps and a massive risk of bushfires, I’d be putting out a pretty strong policy to actually cut emissions…
Replying to @US_Stormwatch
Sea surface temperatures are even outpacing 2016 when the last Super El Niño occurred. Another El Niño will likely develop this summer/fall and could potentially be quite strong. Stay tuned.

JOY RIDE fucking slaps! Raunchy, nasty, sex-positive, and at its core, sweet and gratifying. And it’s so fucking weird to see Asian people doing all of this. Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu are DYNAMITE together! I want 10 more movies with them #SXSW

#Gujarat BJP and Congress MLAs demand parents consent/signature for love marriages ‘to reduce crime’ while none of their laws on dowry, rape, domestic violence and sexual harassment have reduced violence against women in any way. All this while they’re releasing rapists 👏🏼

A terrible bill just advanced in Florida. This is Don't Say Gay on steroids. It is "Don't Be Trans." It bans letting people know pronouns if they don't correspond to your "biological sex." It expands DSG age limits. It targets trans teachers and makes it impossible for them.
Replying to @equalityfl
By a vote of 14-4, the bill to expand Don't Say LGBTQ and revoke the right of parents to determine how their child will be addressed by the school system is passed through its first committee.

What’s the number? What’s the dollar figure at which Peter Dutton would stop and say “Now THIS is the correct amount we should be spending to allow disabled people decent lives”. And does he have an ideal upper limit on defence spending lol

A picture to remember next time we hear about the budget constraints for the transition to renewables, or raising jobseeker, or spending on public education or on health or, aged care or... or... or...

At party for EO and ALL THAY BREATHES hosted by distributor Sideshow, Jerzy Skolimowski grabs the mic and addresses Shaunak Sen: “I hope your movie has a better chance of winning than we do…but we are all winning.”

Outcry over a requirement writers provide a medical diagnosis has led @BlackIncBooks to put its Growing up Neurodivergent in Australia anthology on hold. @amandatink says while it might sound reasonable, it fails to understand diagnosis or the community bit.ly/3J8hKVn
