Karen Middleton makes sense of the silliness about Albanese's appearance at the women's march, doing a much better job than Annabel Crabb. theguardian.com/australia-news…
I've been enjoying the neo-noir series 'Sugar' on Apple+, but at the end of yesterday's episode I said: "WTF?" Fortunately the British publication Radio Times was able to put that question to Colin Farrell (Warning: major spoiler here) radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/coli…
Have you seen Sean Bean in Shardlake (Disney+)? He plays a lean mean Thomas Cromwell. Even if you’re not keen on Sean, he needs to be seen.

@Thetribalmind Why did you assume that the Bureau was responsible for those precise minute numbers shown on your (unspecified/unknown) weather app? Typically BOM gives hourly forecast data but not by the minute. Fair assumption is that your app's algorithm does an extrapolation?
@Thetribalmind Rainfall forecasts are of course always a matter of probability. However forecasting the very minute that rain is to begin & end falling seems brave if not foolhardy. Are you sure that app is relying directly on the Bureau for those precise minute numbers?

Albanese has to be fucking stupid if he thinks the university encampments are organised by trots. I haven’t heard anyone use that term since Bob Gould said it in about 1970.
@jenniferhinks15 @Thetribalmind There's a few surprisingly negative reactions to the article given that all she really does is lay out the timeline of events and suggest that perhaps there was fault on both sides.
People gotta work, especially when starting out, so desperate times call for ... etc etc. But a journalist announcing they've got a job at the Daily Mail or The Nightly is not the boast they think it is; more like using this place as a self-shaming site.
@JAHeale If Boris Johnson told me he was Boris Johnson I simply wouldn’t believe him.
Bemused by the ongoing backlash against Albanese & Labor. Yes of course any government should be held to account, but could we consider for a moment the longterm effects of viciously trashing a government that is, compared with the only alternative, both competent & on our side?
@Thetribalmind @cathywilcox1 There’s a long version of the short video clip giving the context. I didn’t save it, but he only spoke after many demanded “the government” do something. The words “I’m the Prime Minister” were not spoken in an agressive tone, but to clarify his position #auspol
Watching my DVDs of The Fugitive again. One of the many things I love about this show are the guest stars. Today’s episode featured Sandy Dennis, Frank Sutton, Ruth White, Bruce Dern, and R.G. Armstrong.
So @AlboMP is accused of grandstanding for personal publicity by attending yesterday’s rally. Uhuh. And if he hadn’t fronted…yep, he’d be accused of arrogant, callous indifference. Some people need to grow up.
