Trouble is I haven’t seen the first Go Hot Food film.

A box of delicious looking hot chips from Chook & Co in Cabarita (22 Cabarita Rd, Ph (02) 9743 2325) that has the words “Hot Food 2 Go” emblazoned across it that I’m deliberately misreading for the joke in the post.

The performative mourning driven by social media, was from blueprints sitting there in large conservative think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation, waiting to be deployed

The alleged outrage was at its core, manufactured recreational grief-bait

When Zack de la Rocha told you to rage against the machine, he didn’t mean take it literally. Agitprop. Fury bait. Yes, you feed it too.

Straight after reading something about John Carpenter’s The Thing, I just noticed for the first time that apparently we’ve had two identical dishwashing liquids open for a while now.

Here's my contribution to #makeaterriblecomicday2025

a 4 panel comic.
Panel 1 - A baseball player swings mightily with a big CRACK sound effect.
Panel 2 - A fielder runs past, shouting "Oh my God what did you do!"
Panel 3 - The fielder crouches near the ball, which has been torn open with its guts (?) spilling out. "Are you all right man" - The ball only coughs and gasps terribly
Panel 4 - The batter looks shocked. "Why does the ball have entrails. What IS this sport." Another fielder scowls at him. "This is a sport to yout?!"

Look how they massacred my joke.

A photo of a joke written in a child’s book about ponies with the text “Q: why couldn’t the pony sing?” and the upside-down answer reading “A: Because its voice was a little hoarse!” thereby butchering the actual pun “because it was a little hoarse” (a pony is a little horse).

The joke may as well be “why couldn’t the pig sing? Because its voice was a little hoarse” haha get it? Because when your voice is a little hoarse, you can’t sing! Imagine, having a sore throat and trying to sing! Hahahahahaha. I’ll be doing twice-daily standup on the Star Princess all week folks.

The kids just had this bit of banter on a train.

8yo: you’re the ugliest sister I have.

5yo: well you’re the ugliest person I’ve ever seen.

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

I’m not sure I want to contribute to that second thing, but I’m not the type of person who disobeys signs left randomly on my kitchen floor by sentient toys.

A supine stuffed lion and a stuffed bunny (and slightly off-frame, a stuffed triceratops) sit on a tiled floor next to a paper sign that reads “Donate some money to charity and racism. Put money here” with an arrow pointing to an empty cardboard box.

I have no idea what you meant either but like Mum I assumed it was some kind of game involving butt plugs.

5yo: Daddy, why was 6 afraid of 7?
Me, feigning ignorance: I don't know.
5yo: Because 7-8-9.
Me: Ha. Good one.
5yo: Yeah, I told that to some kids at school.
Me: Oh, did they get it?
5yo: No. I don't even get it.

Today, if you add my order numbers together…

The exact same order receipts from the exact same places in the exact same food court. Today’s order numbers though are respectively 66 and 03.

Ordered from two different places in the food court and hit the order number jackpot.

Two food court receipts of different sizes from different shops, both bearing the order number 69 because I have the maturity of a 13 year old.

Long overdue for reasons that are complex and nuanced (I forgot) but I've finally posted a blog on the (very few and mostly very long) books I read in 2024. Ping @nettyf.bsky.social @jezfletcher.bsky.social seansbeard.blogspot.com/2025/02/book...

We went to worship Sydney’s queen today

Selfie taken several feet in front of Putricia the corpse flower, whose fronds are teasingly open on the brink of blooming. John the horticulturalist is attending to the base in the background.

I'm spending an inordinately large part of today at work watching the livestream of Putricia the corpse flower. I highly recommend you do the same: www.youtube.com/live/mrylcCA...
