Fuck yeah.
12 October 2012 06:57 pmAustralian prime minister Julia Gillard "played her best hand with a brilliant attack on the Conservative opposition leader, Tony Abbott, accusing him of being sexist and a misogynist," the Telegraph reports.
Gillard was defending parliamentary Speaker Peter Slipper who resigned "just hours after he survived a motion to sack him for lurid text messages he sent to a former staffer."
The video is extraordinary.

British sci-fi. <3
12 October 2012 09:10 pmThe new series of Red Dwarf is FABULOUS! For those who don't know this gem, it's basically a sitcom in outer space... a bit like a grown up Doctor Who, which instead of the Last of the Time Lords features The Last Human. Who - instead of being alien and clever and magical - is a space bum and a total slob, yet he is also every kind of awesome. I shall illustrate the differences like so ('Wonders of the Universe' Vs 'New Computer Game!'):
And yet, both shows play with EXACTLY the same ideas - time and space and what-it-means-to-be-human and paradoxes and all that mad sci-fi stuff. (Yesterday's episode centred around actions being predetermined, fatherhood [I... won't even begin to explain the impossibility of the paradox involved in this - it was GLORIOUS, and reminded me of Moffat's Jekyll. Pissed out of its head] - and Chinese Whispers. Last week's was mostly about the paralyzing force of jealousy. It was hysterical.)
Seriously, for any sci-fi trope you can think of, Red Dwarf will have done an episode, and it will have been hilarious and clever.
(I am so tired, but this show should see me through the next few weeks. ♥)

Kochanski: I'm not sure I can do this. This is the first time I've been seduced by pre-determinism theory.
