It is also Fight for 15, Glazed Spiral Ham, McDonald's, Rubber Erasure, and Titanic Rememberance day in the US.

Misandry 4 life.

I love these things and want to cover my body in them, stand on a hill somewhere, and reflect sunlight into the eyes of people I think look like arseholes. Because of reasons.

From the reporting I’ve read, I get the impression that they can currently object based on philosophical grounds and the 1997 legislation, but that loophole is being removed.

The sad thing is, her story is not uncommon. Sara Baartman, Indigenous Australians, African people, Maoris, they all appeared stuffed and mounted in British museums. Pastrana's case is compounded by the fact she was a physically different woman, who married an exploitative piece of scum that obviously took advantage…

The fact she’s offering him a hot towel is even funnier when you know that Qantas have a habit of using eucalyptus oil scented hot towels, because the fumes help clear the sinus during takeoff and touchdown. They’re the shit when you have awful sinuses like I do.

Science facts time: That’s because koalas, like pandas (who do this too), are eating a food their digestive system has a really hard time with (stupid vegan animals), so there is still plenty of nutrients left over when it comes out, and since apparently the bacteria baby koalas need to break down the tough eucalyptus…

Yeah, sadly, because they are so crap at doing anything other than eating eucalyptus trees, rooting and pooping, they’re often caught in the fires when most of the other animals are able to get away. Also if they try climbing from tree to tree when it’s an undergrowth fire and get trapped because they run out of…

It’s a thing that is the first result when you google “brushtail”.

Studies show serial rapists display certain patterns of behaviour and values. Tony Abbott’s behaviours and values line up with these if you read up on how he has behaved towards women (and humans in general) throughout his life. He’s pretty typical of the BA Santamarian arselicker crowd who have now grown up and…

I really, really, really, want a gyro.

Kissing Madge isn’t gross because she’s old, it’s gross because she’s always been a racist misappropriative cultural parasite and her current colonised-style-du-jour seems to be Black America (thus her utterly disgusting “grill” and style of dress on Jimmy Kinmel etc). That would gross me out no matter what her point…

I liked Buried and was surprised that he actually managed to carry the movie entirely on his own.

I still think Abbott is a raw-onion-eating rapist bag of shit, but this is a good policy.

There are anti-vaxxers in other parts of the world, but the only ones I have heard of are anti-Western militants in places like South Asia and the Middle East who see it as Western culture tainting their culture, and respond by murdering the women who go door to door dispensing polio and other vaccines for free.

That is literally what this is doing, because it’s not welfare as you know it in the US, but a subsidisation on of Australia’s insanely expensive day care system, which is mostly used by the middle and upper-middle classes, not the lower classes.

Yes but no. Because this is not a true “welfare” payment, it actually targets the middle and upper-middle granola hippies who are least likely to vaccinate. Childcare in Australia is crazy expensive, and even with the rebate most lower-economic people still can’t afford to send all their kids to day care all days of…

Thhhiiissss. Australia =/= ‘Murica.

This. Being poor in Australia is still not the same as being poor in the US, despite Abbott and his ilk trying to make it so. There are serious and terrible barriers to health care in some parts of the country (usually rural and regional areas, and Indigenous communities) but if you live in the city and you can afford…

Practically nothing, unless it’s a new cult somewhere pulling reasons out of their ass like Scientology.
