I watched The Substance. On the one hand, it was brilliantly realised. The cinematography was so claustrophobic! On the other, it went kind of exactly where it was obviously going from the start and just got a bit meta/surreal at the end. I enjoyed it, but it was completely unsurprising.

This still-life by Jacques-Émile Blanche from 1889 demonstrates the qualities of his early paintings, how controlled he was in applying paint, and the beautiful harmonious interplay of objects and light: the balanced knife a nod to the genius of Chardin.

"Former soldiers will almost always gravitate to the #anti-war party. This happens for obvious reasons. The men who have been in battle tend not to romanticize it and tend not to take it flippantly." — Rod Lurie #Veterans #Leftists

The love affair between Speers and Dutton is steamier than anything on MAFS.

Remember this? While there may b reasons not to like Turnbull -he is not going to call Dutton a THUG very publicly unless he has a good reason. Dutton IS a thug & a bully. He’s also a racist who punches down on minorities. We hve all seen his toxic behaviour. Dutton doesn’t deserve to be a leader

Niki Savva sees right through Dutton as she makes sure everyone else knows too! He’s all talk, with no facts or data. He would be a disaster if he tried to form government. #auspol
