I apologise for two virtually content-free posts this evening, but this picture is too amazing not to share (click for big):

Edit: Replaced Noddy with the full raw footage from Channel 7. Really, really strange viewing.
Tony Abbott says “shit happens” in a totally reasonable situation, without malice and without being dismissive. There is no story. Mark Riley confronts Abbott about this on television. Abbott is literally shaking with rage, and still may bust some faces later. Okay, now there’s a story!
Heh. Ooooooooohhhh cranky Abbott!
Liberation! By white men, telling women what to wear…

A short and sweet rant today. Once again, Sergio Redegalli, the owner of Cydonia Glass in Enmore is in the news stirring up shit about women and burqas. Now he wants to paint another mural, more prominently “[...] depicting the suffering of women.”
I don’t particularly like the burqa. I don’t particularly like organised religion, including Islam. I don’t particularly like the subjugation of women, whatever its form. However, I really don’t understand how some privileged white European bloke telling women what they can and cannot wear according to his sensibilities is supposed to be liberating.
Bah.
It’s a very small world, really.

On the outside crust of this tiny little dot, we hang about in a layer of gas which gets too thin to breathe in far less distance upward than the commute from my house to to my work.
Can’t we all just get along? And keep this place nice for ourselves and those yet to come?
Never see smh or theage autoplay videos again!

Do you hate Fairfax’s horrible auto-playing videos? How about their retina-searing flash ads and giant fluorescent ad-wrap-arounds? Well, worry not!
First, download Adblock/Adblock Plus:
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
Use the EasyList filter (this kills all the ads). Now, add the following custom filters:
(In Firefox: Tools -> AdBlock Plus Preferences -> Add Filter…)
com.au##DIV.videoWrap
com.au##.overlay.overlayPlayCountdown.overlayPrePlay.visible
com.au###video-player-content
It should look like this:
Hooray! No more stupid freaking horrible autoplay videos and ugly ads! Win!
