- Comment on Police confirm human remains found in search for missing teen Pheobe Bishop 3 days ago:
I thought she was kicked out by her mother, and her father wouldn’t allow her to live with him.
- Comment on Secret figures show Liberal party’s ageing membership in freefall in NSW and Victoria 1 week ago:
I can’t see them coming back. They’re hemmed in. The further right they move, the less palatable they are to the majority of Australians. They can’t go left without alienating their base.
They also don’t have a leader to drag them kicking and screaming through the necessary process to change. Nor do they have the ability to recruit one young enough to make it worthwhile. It will be a long and painful exercise.
Right now, I fully expect them to continue along their rightward path. As a result, I can see them reduced to One Nation numbers within a couple of electoral cycles, which is still more than the Nats get.

They’re supposed to be the party of small business, but small business can’t afford them anymore.
- Comment on Go and go and go with Milo 2 weeks ago:
Fuck Nestle!
- Comment on Greens leader Adam Bandt projected to lose in Melbourne, leaving party without its captain - ABC News 4 weeks ago:
Three if Jackie loses her senate seat too.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 month ago:
Babylon 5: Into the Fire. Killed just months before release after a corporate restructure. The closest we got was some Freespace mods.
- Comment on Australia turns down China's offer to 'join hands' to fight US tariffs, aims to diversify trade, strengthening ties with Europe, India, Britain, Middle East 1 month ago:
China have imposed their own tariffs on Aussie stuff in the past, so fuck 'em.

It’s also in The Menagerie.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 2 months ago:
Isn’t this from The Cage? They’ve had 60+ years. I doubt it’s a high priority.
- Comment on What is your single favourite movie soundtrack? 2 months ago:
Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain. Also my favourite movie.

The Hunt for More Money.
- Comment on Amazon has already made a Bond film – it cost $300m and is unwatchable 3 months ago:
I disagree they did a great job with The Expanse. The first three series are better IMHO, especially series three. The Amazon seasons just feel like a loose collection of bottle episodes in comparison.

Maybe he didn’t have the money to launch a suit.
- Comment on Beta Testing Loops by Pixelfed 5 months ago:
Yes, there’s a decent (albeit bare bones) Android client. The web interface is about to have a major update, but at the moment is pants.
- Comment on A New Social 5 months ago:
I’m bridging my main Mastodon account with bluesky, but I fully expecting this service to disappear soon enough. I remember when Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other sites allowed crossposting until someone realised they were driving traffic away from their own site and shut it down. I think it was Facebook. I can’t remember. Same is likely to happen here, or they’ll charge an exorbitant fee for API access like Reddit. For now though, it kinda works.
- Comment on ABC article alleges caucus concern over Fatima Payma being "guided by god". Smells of a character assassination to me. 11 months ago:
Just imagine if one of these ‘guided by God’ people ever managed to attain the Prime Ministership. Then we’d be in real trouble.
