i kinda love how Tasmania has a “Godzilla” like relationship with this guy. “yeah it comes ashore and destroys as much as it can every once in a while but you know, it’s like a spectacle and it leaves eventually”
Tasmania’s notorious ‘Neil The Seal’ is back on land & wreaking havoc 🦭
[via/ X @jonzzy ]
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The attached video is from July 2026, not November as the post implies. There is no evidence that Neil has returned to Tasmania since he left in July 11th.

Fucken hell, the wrong Alan Jones died. Had the pleasure of working with AJ on a bunch of videos, travelling around Australia with him on different jobs, was always good natured and fun
Vale Alan Jones.
It is with great sadness that the Australian Grand Prix Corporation acknowledges the passing of Alan Jones, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, loved ones and friends.
As a Formula 1® World Champion and one of Australia’s greatest racing drivers, Alan holds a special place in the history of our sport. His 1980 World Championship inspired a generation of Australian motorsport fans, while his victory at the Australian Grand Prix that same year remains the last time an Australian driver has won their home Grand Prix.
He leaves an extraordinary legacy in Australian motorsport and will be deeply missed by the motorsport community around the world.

Correction: S/H made 5 films after Antigone w/ figures of the ancient world ("set in" is dubious, all their films are set in... the world). Easy error to make when the films aren't shown. La Madre was submitted by JMS and refused by MoMI's "First Look" series (Dennis Lim) in 2012

NATHAN FIELDER: This is one of the most famous comedy sketches of the last 30 years.
*Plays SNL More Cowbell sketch*
FIELDER: Now what was funny about that?
*Pause*
BERNIE MADOFF: They're a rock band.
FIELDER: Yes but what's the joke.
MADOFF: They have long hair, I don't know.

What are the stats on people who’ve won multiple Oscars presented by the same person? Someone’s gotta have that information handy
“And finally I would like, if I may, to dedicate this Oscar to the heroism and the courage of women, and to hope that it inspires the creation of more true screen heroines to represent them.”
In 1996, Emma Thompson became the only person in history to win Oscars for both acting and writing. At the 65th Oscars, she won Best Actress for her performance as Margaret Schlegel in HOWARDS END. Three years later, she won Adapted Screenplay for SENSE AND SENSIBILITY.
Crazy how there’s a TV channel in Australia that, as far as I can tell, plays Powell & Pressburger related material 24/7

Danny Trejo's son posted this about his father's upcoming movie. It's very sad and eye opening
