Folderol is the job description, so I'll need a comma.

Library stripped of state literary award role in fellowship fallout Queensland’s state library will no longer run major literary awards on behalf of the government after a long-awaited review. But the future of the event is unclear.

Library news: George Brandis appointed to the Queensland State Library Board; Premier takes away literary awards; talk of entrants to book prizes guaranteeing their lifetime previous behaviour wouldn't bring the award into 'disrepute', unspecified. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/que...

SNORTAGE AKIMBO is my new pseudonym.

The image the Guardian has used to illustrate this Mr On The Moon cartoon does not convey the full hilarity, or deft use of character-based folderol which is considerable and may result in snortage.

Maybe you were briefly a mantis shrimp ... can't rule it out.

Muslims traumatised after right-wing attack on community dinner A Muslim community in Ballarat is left traumatised after a man barged into a community dinner allegedly throwing punches and yelling abuse.

"NO CHARGES WILL BE LAID" against a man who terrorised & threatened children and violently attacked people? Told to 'move on'?! No search for drugs? What the hell, @victoriapoliceau.bsky.social? Doesn't look like identifying him will be a problem.

Extruded Trumps cosplaying as Uday and Qusay Hussein in matching outfits, grinning with their dental-veneer repositories beneath their cold, dead eyes, in their psychopath-prompted AI-looking faces.

This is one of my favourite facts and I really want to know what it's like to be a mantis shrimp. Sometimes I wonder how you would respond to, or describe, a new colour you have no reference for because it's not like, or a variation of, any of the colours you've ever seen and then I lie down.

Oh I'm sorry, I don't know what that is but good luck, everybody.

He IS One Nation, not a Liberal. That's a badly worded headline & blurb.

Bringing you up to speed: Cory Bernadi is a South Australian One Nation candidate driving around to sites that have bilingual signs, yapping like a neutered spaniel rolling on a dead fish, so stupid and alone in this, he couldn't be more pleased to be him despite what everyone else is thinking.

It was, you shan't be astonished to hear, nothing of the sort.

TBF I don't think he was doing that. He was making it clear that his own schoolboy attitude has been maintained amid his 'peer group' even as adults.

"Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[Verse 2]
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone..."

One of the most enduring cartoon character images of all time.

Reading a headline on a celebrity man's take on how men can be better. Last time I saw him he was 'joking' to a big corporate gig audience, rating pupils at girls' schools of Melbourne. He said one school's girls were OK to have sex with, another provided girlfriends & one had girls you married.

Standing by with heaving bosom.

I gave Kyle and Jackie O their big break. They were superb, but I know why they imploded Craig Bruce discovered the now-warring duo in 2004 and put them on the air. The rest is history.

'Radio expert' mentions the ratings-fail pre-K&J show he hired: I was a lesser part of that team & proud we refused bosses' orders to sham-fight, lie, do sexist stunts, give celebrity sperm as a prize, surprise a workmate with his phobia on air. Acid-washed souls.

Thanks Rhys, I am going down a lot of rabbit holes (oomancy, magicians, stage mind-readers and zesty mediums, but concentrating on ladypersons and steering clear of Nazi leadership, no matter their star-signs.

I get what you're saying but that's what I hate about these (millions of) clichéd creations - the creators say 'she's got a gun so it's okay to portray her as a child-like sex servant fantasy, it's actually empowering!' I don't buy it for a femto of a second.

Maybe it would be better not to use that term to describe a woman.

Oh well in that case, she can of course be portrayed and entirely degraded as a tediously clichéd sex object-target and subject to the usual scripted violence & abuse (and I shall be very surprised indeed to find that I have, as you put it, 'the dick').

Dr Space Junk 20 Years of Blogging Feminist as Fuck Edition This beautiful artwork is by archaeologist Dr Katherine Cook  https://drkrcook.wordpress.com/  This blog is 20 years old! My first post was ...

It's International Women's Day! It's a day to be feminist as fuck, so here are a few of my favourite blog posts (written by me) on this theme. #IWD2026 #WomenInSTEM

She's in Washington, not the myriad US states killing pregnant women who need treatment, so if she has a life-threatening complication they will probably try to save her. If her husband agrees.

Gun, knife; silent, objectified woman with girlish face; exposed bosomry; French maid's servant uniform, Victorian bonnet, exposed garter belt; on her knees leaning forward; deliberate suggestion of naked backside. Fully exhausted bingo card; fully exhausted sisterhood.

I wish them the best. But such jolly stories never mention huge risk hikes after each birth, especially 5+. If fathers risked haemorrhage, death, heart disease, prolapse, exhaustion, under-studied immune system hits, higher blood pressure & post-menopause aging-acceleration, would it be mentioned?

Led here after discovering the practice of Oomancy (using eggs to interpret the future) in researching my next book, 'Spooky Ladies'. Next time someone asks what I do, I shall whisper, 'I am an oomancier. The ova never lies' and enjoy some quiet time.
