What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

The end of reality - The Shot Our establishment has asked us to believe that up is down, and that might is right. That this slaughter is ok. They are lying to you.

Here's @omarsakr.bsky.social, making his debut on The Shot. "The end of reality"

Did you see News 24's first guest was Scott Morrison? Outrageous!

Why does ABC News 24 have a partisan former PM with fundamentalist Christian tendencies commenting on the bombing of Iran?

It's really funny how America and the UK stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s because the free market will pave potholes and make the trains run on time and now literally nothing works and you cannot go anywhere or do anything but like 4 people are richer than God.

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Australians pay $84 a month for their internet. Why so expensive, and what can be done to lower the cost? Consumer group points to international evidence for the benefits of affordable broadband and calls for concessional pricing for those on lower incomes

There would be merit in a new Senate inquiry into pricing of Internet services and IT costs more broadly in Australia. We need to haul the providers in, NBN and others, and grill them at length. This is a significant cost of living problem. #auspol
