Everyone was obsessed with the NZ pavilion. The whole thing was brilliant.

I can’t even begin to explain how fantastic the gender-bent space opera Matt Fraction ODY-C is, so yeah it can be a staggeringly good graphic novel.

Damn it - I have too many books on my to be read pile and was trying to avoid the new wave of Greek myth based reading but I am starting to think I need to make an exception for Barker.

Their descriptions made me chuckle. Saw this and immediately thought of @redskies.bsky.social

AI companies are buying, scanning, and destroying older books to improve their models' training data & avoid problems of "model collapse" (wherein LLMs choke on their own slop). One of their suppliers is Better World Books, which partners with public libraries. www.404media.co/ai-companies...

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

Support Jayson Gilham by attending one of his concerts. I am going in Brisbane but you can see him in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney too. He had to self-organise these as his manager jumped ship after the MSO cancelled him. www.jaysongillham.com/keystolife

One of my absolute faves :)

The good part is sometimes the Australian women play like a fever dream.

Mythology states that Narcissus was ultimately defeated by a reflecting pool. Just saying. There’s hope.
