<p>Art, code, society, foliage. PhD'd in Management (booooo) and movies? (yaaaaaay!) Probably the world's most pre-eminent Fox Searchlight Pictures scholar, 1994–2009. Real Little Miss Sunshiners (#Sunbeams) get it. Bisexual icon. Highly suggestible.</p>

Good lord The Australian is such a parody of itself on this hallowed Budget Night. What a bunch of sooks. 🙄 I adore how removing discounts is breathlessly framed as a tax grab. It&#39;s nice to finally see a centre-left government do the scary thing right-wing media tells rich children they&#39;re going to do.

Bioshock was an absolutely stunning game with mediocre gameplay. The terrible part though was that it presented one of the best steampunk settings ever put to screen, and it was profoundly wasted on a Randian hyper-violent repetitive meh-fest.

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@slackbastard/116040269511157420 Just a spectacular effort - following a completely unnecessary diplomatic invitation to a war criminal, and then a completely unnecessary attempt to prevent very justified protest at that visit, Federal and State Labor have shown themselves to be absolute fucking muppets up and down the line. This is a situation entirely of their own making. And all, stupefyingly, in the name of &#39;social cohesion.&#39;
