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.

Désirée Manfred was Jacques-Émile Blanche's favourite model, painting her about fifty times in portraits. In enormous demand as a portraitist, his clients included Degas, Claude Debussy, Maeterlinck, Paul Claudel, Colette and Jean Cocteau. This is from 1904.

This is huge. HUGE. Oral contraceptive pills to be added to PBS for first time in decades. Funding for IUDs, long lasting contraception, and menopause supports. This is one for the history books. Seriously, BIG. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

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

It still blows my mind to this day that Britain could be so unfathomably stupid, the brain drain this has had on Britain due to visa issues is seismic too. A genuine embarrassment & believe me, As a regular traveler to Spain Britain is nothing short of a laughing stock the world over because of it.

Dutton’s wheelbarrow has a load of fear mongering, intolerance, misogyny, hate, divisiveness, scare tactics, non-science (also known as NONSENSE), distractions, dead cats, Murdoch media propaganda (repeated by our ABC)… No policies. No vision. No clue. No care for humanity. No love.

Niki Savva says Dutton is too scared to appear with Anika Wells on the Today Show’s political segment. Dutton says “he only wants Richard Marles” Aside from Dutton being a flog - why does he get to dictate the terms of his media engagement? Labor don’t. This Dutton “kingdom” shyte needs 2 stop

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
