For real. The title ‘Rainy Day in New York’ even sounds like a knockoff of a Woody Allen movie.

I’m Australian too. That shit ain't right.

Many years ago I went with an Italian friend to stay with his relatives in the mountains outside Milan. The house was amazing, the village was amazing, the mountains were AMAZING and the people were all lovely. The only blight on the whole experience was that everyone expected me to go skiing all the time. I come from…

Steven Anthony Lawrence's face.

Forget being a judge. I wouldn't let him look after my dog.

Holy shit. I am truly disturbed by the number of comments by people who’ve had experiences like this. It’s so common!

If he doesn't win, he's just going to keep making these vehicles for himself. You know they'll keep giving him money.

I don't know, but I know for sure that Bradley Cooper is straight up ugly.

“Implying that a drunk woman has no control of her actions, but that a drunk man does strips women of all moral responsibility.”

In fairness to her, she is definitely a full-sized and complete shitstain all on her own.

Fucking good on them. This literally happened to a friend of mine last week. Her father is abusive and she left after a particularly nasty fight. As she was trying to leave, her father kept saying, leave your phone, I paid for that, leave your computer, I paid for that, up to and including her damn clothes, which she…

The normalisation of young female sexual agency with older men in our culture is fucked up. I saw Pretty Little Liars for the first time last night (friend just split up with her husband and we were looking for something silly to watch). There’s a whole subplot around a sixteen year old girl pursuing her twenty…

It’s climate change. Longer, hotter, drier summers in ecosystems that can’t cope. Conditions changing faster and more dangerously than anyone anticipated (that’s really important to remember when you hear conservatives moan that climate scientists are being alarmist. They’re actually incredibly careful and if anything…

One water dump from a helicopter is apparently in the region of $75k. On fires that have been burning for weeks. If the government was genuinely serious about investing in the future, climate change would be first and second on their list of priorities as a matter of extreme urgency. They just don’t give a fuck.

Seconded. Fuck the Libs.

Exactly. Wodehouse churned those things out like breathing. Why choose them? Or at the very least, write out the blackface scenes? Blackface is still disturbingly common in UK and Australian culture, quite apart from what goes on in the US. Little Britain, Chris Lilley, Mitchell & Webb, have all done blackface and/or…

This shit is fucking everywhere. I was watching an old episode of Jeeves and Wooster (because I’m a rock’n’roll kind of thirty-something) recently and Martin Clunes led a musical number in full blackface. As far as I know, nobody has asked him or Hugh Laurie or Stephen Fry about that. Maybe because it was such a…

I just wanted to add, in case it’s not world news, that Tasmania is on fire. World Heritage old growth forests are about to be destroyed. Old as in, over a thousand years old. These aren’t normal fires (although they’re the new normal, I guess) and the forests won’t regenerate. They’ll just be gone.

I believe that's in the mission statement of the Red Cross family reunification program: "it's just too time-consuming."

Yep. People at that level can skip taxation and move straight to beheading.
