Having failed to secure the Snickers or M&Ms that were my original objectives, sources tell the Washington Post I will now be refocusing all energy on extracating my hand from where it is stuck inside the vending machine and restoring said machine to the working order it was in prior to my arrival.

The current administration is really living up to its promise of bringing back Spartan military ethos by talking loudly and losing more than winning.

I have many, many favourite Kudelka cartoons but this, from 2011, is possibly one of the best Aus pol cartoons ever drawn.

I think weโ€™ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think weโ€™re really fast and strong before they kill us.

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

"The only way to prevent another catastrophic nuclear detonation is to eliminate nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth. We can never be safe while living in a house made of dynamite," writes Hiroshima governor and president of Hiroshima Organization for Global Peace, Hidehiko Yuzaki.

Stick me in the Matrix. 1999 forever. The peak of civilization. GWB is just a Texas governor I only know because of that one Simpsons joke. Trump is just a cameo in Home Alone 2.
Plug me back in.
