Commissioner Batman

Just a reminder that One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts is a full on conspiracy theorist whackjob and sovereign citizen.

That's the type of person Pauline Hanson has as her right-hand man. A guy whose driving force for entering politics is apparently because he thinks beloved nature documentarian David fucking Attenborough is a UN shill and that climate change is a hoax.

Until the last election Roberts and Hanson were the ONLY One Nation Senators. He was 50% of the fucking party. And thinking climate change is a hoax isn't even remotely the worst thing he believes. He thinks the Bondi terror attack was a false flag. He thinks COVID-19 vaccines are bioweapons developed by the US military for world domination. He thinks Jewish bankers are trying to control the world through "environmentalism." He praised Putin for invading Ukraine. I wish literally anything I just said was made up but he's JUST that weird.

If there's some fucked up, horrible, uninformed and conspiratorial far-right bullshit - Roberts believes it and One Nation endorses it.

He's an extremist. He's a terrible person. Why would anyone vote for his party???

Listen, I completely understand why it was an issue for some people, but I still think that naming the original release of Deltarune “SURVEY_PROGRAM.exe” was really really funny

also when you opened it you had to agree to the end user license agreement, which just said "YOU WILL ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS FROM NOW ON." and when people on twitter told him their antivirus was flagging it as a threat, he posted a "fix" that was just a screenshot of the windows defender popup with the "run anyway" button circled

#it's like taking candy from an unmarked white van#and the candy is wrapped in tinfoil and printer paper and the ingredients list just says ''dude trust me''#but you know that guy is a chocolatier and made the best damn truffles you ever tasted so you take the free van candy anyway#and it turns out that it is pretty good candy that this guy was just giving out for free (from yardsards)

funniest thing to ever happen was when my boyfriend put on the first episode of columbo (which i'd never seen) but he wouldn't tell me what show it was he would only say "you'll get it when he shows up." but a fun fact about the first episode of columbo is that he doesn't show up for 32 minutes and when he does, he silently walks into the room with a cigar and does a little pose and goes "hi i'm columbo."

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.

the trolley problem except the guy tied to one set of tracks is your friend and someone you trust and one of the few people in the world that you genuinely like and he's begging for his life and he's saying that you're murdering him and he's screaming and clawing and running like a wild animal. on the other set of tracks is every living thing on the planet. its a no brainer, obviously. but he will still scream. this happened to my good friend eva stratt

what really fucks me up about watching the truman show in 2025 is how it's not fictional. truman is fictional, but the truman show isn't.

there's thousands of truman shows. you find them on youtube, tiktok, instagram... family and mommy vloggers, sad beige moms and now the trend of neglectful moms showing the "reality" of parenting. all of them using their kids for entertainment. each child their own truman; living a life manufactured by their parents, a camera watching their every moment, broadcasted for the entire world to see.

[king-carnivore]

tbh, i didn't even think about that when i made my post and holy shit you're so fucking right

[reineyday]

brings me lots of joy to see murph, ally and siobhan perfectly synchronized with disbelief 😂

frodo getting criticized for decades for not doing much / not being a hero compared to sam is fitting when you consider mental health and strength is often trivialized. frodo carried the most dangerous and insidious item in middle earth for YEARS. ancient beings (elves, gandalf, etc) were taunted and tempted by it. boromir was corrupted within weeks without even touching it. men and hobbits turned against their brethren for it. killed for it. and frodo, with a wound from a morgul knife, bore it’s weight when no one else could. had it been anyone else, middle earth would have fallen.

no, he couldn’t have done it without his samwise. but isn’t that a lesson in itself?

Something about Ilya still managing to be insecure about their relationship while Shane is locked on like a rabid dog, like 5000 PSI bite strength around that Russian boy. Shane is over here calmly rationalizing "This is not only the only person I've ever loved he's also the only person I can even fathom loving. If he dies I die because life will no longer be worth living. Obviously" and Ilya's like "what if he leaves me for this random Ottawan journalist"

[fuckrozanov]

the thing about heated rivalry and hollanov that i see people getting wrong constantly is that there’s no “side” to be on. it’s not team shane vs team ilya. no one is winning those conversations. the whole point is they’re both losing. you can’t really be mad at shane for saying things like “must be nice” on the vegas rooftop because what does he know about ilya’s family dynamics at that point that would elicit a different response? just like you can’t be mad at ilya for how the tuna melt scene goes down. ilya is trying to open a dialogue and shane can’t undo all his compartmentalizing in that moment so ilya understandably responds in kind. you’re asking two athletes with two very different but equally crushing closets to intuit things they don’t even understand about each other. ilya’s monster under the bed is the shape of russia and shane’s is the shape of himself and they’re both valid for being terrified! it’s miscommunication trope all the way down. it’s them vs the ordeal of being known. we don’t have to be mad at anyone!!!

[femaustinpowers]

david hollander is the true winner of the idgaf war. he doesn’t know what youtube is. he doesn’t care about shane’s sponsorships. he understands why shane doesn’t wanna go to wimbledon and is just happy to go with his wife. he sees his son making out with his supposed arch enemy and turns 180 degrees, gets in his car, and doesn’t tell a soul. he pulls out the vodka when his newly out gay son is having a freak out at the dinner table. if shane had even 1% of his idgaf powers he would be unstoppable. unfortunately that boy inherited his mom’s gaf-ability, which is constantly set to 150%.

[buckleyy]

the gay on gay violence was so insane im still not over it. shane shit talked scott’s game and scott said what if i kill you. what if you die right now. “you’re even starting to sound like him”?? that’s on a different playing field than just being homophobic that is psychological warfare. he said i’m in your walls motherfucker
